Android is an operating system that revolutionized mobile technology. More and more gadgets are being produced on this platform every day due to its flexibility, and mainly because it is open source software. Constantly, developers come up with new ideas to make Android even better, but there are users who still use devices with older versions. Because of this, they cannot use some new applications and modern features.
What to do with the old version?
Many in this regard will ask the question: "How to update Android, if possible?" Answer: yes, this is real, and it’s quite easy to switch from the old version to the latest one.
Despite the fact that the Android OS is already widely distributed in the 4.0.5 distribution, many people still use version 2.3. Even developers of various applications today make changes to their products, which entered the market earlier, in order to make it compatible with new releases of the platform. If you upgrade Android 23 to the new version, it will improve your device in many ways, adding multitasking and functionality, and most importantly - will make it compatible with new applications offered on the Google Play Store.
So, let's see how you can update Android 2.3 to 4.0 or even newer releases using the OS settings (Updater OS). Follow the instructions below to perform this operation correctly.
Before updating Android, be sure to backup all the data stored in your smartphone. This is necessary in case you make a mistake and delete the entire contents of the memory. Otherwise, all data will be lost permanently.
So, how to update Android to 40 and above?
You must first download the Updater OS for Android. Then save it and run. Connect the device to the computer and click “Find Android Device” in the menu of the program that you just installed.
After the device is found, go to the next step and click on the “Find similar OS Platform Ver” button to find updates. Then click the “Update to 4.0” button and start the download process. Speaking about how to update Android, in a similar way you can install versions 4.0.3, and even 4.0.5 on your device.
Then reboot your smartphone or tablet - and you will have the latest distribution. As you can see, this process is very simple. This manual works with all kinds of devices.
Is upgrade to version 4.3 available?
In addition, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, introduced in the new Nexus devices, has already been released. However, other gadgets will take time to upgrade to this version. Speaking about how to update Android to version 4.3, it should be noted that the standard procedure may be ineffective (for the above reason). However, if you do not want to wait for the official release of this version, you can download the update file directly from Google servers and try to download them using the Sideload command. In other words, it’s better to wait a while and then enjoy the full new features of your favorite platform. Moreover, all new items are becoming available to the general public quite quickly. According to company representatives, in the near future it is planned to release about a dozen devices on the new version of the platform.
