Tab3 7" Stuck on Android 4.1.2

Hello,

I have four Samsung Tab3 7". Mine, Wife's, and kids have one each.

I noticed they all have 4.4.2 but mine. It is stuck with 4.1.2, and I tried to "Update" but just get the message that device it up to date.

You can try plugging the device into your PC and using a PC program called Kies. Kies is a program that is available on Samsung's website, and one of the things it can do is flash stock ROMs to your device.

I gave that a go and sadly it didn't help.
Cannot find any option to do so.

And any "check updates" thing just throws me a "your up to date" message.

Even tried a factory reset, and let it do all its updates again, Still stuck on 4.1.2.

You might have to use a PC program called Odin to flash the ROM then. This most likely will wipe the device, so make a backup of anything you don't want to lose.
