How to Flash KitKat 4.4.2 XXU0ANE2 on Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T231

If there’s something important your Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T231 sure needs, that is an update. Particularly one that brings an improved Android 4.4.2. Stay tuned to find out how to make your tablet deliver a superior performance and much more.

The tablet you currently use will need XXU0ANE2 if you plan on experiencing many new goodies. They’re the usual ones, but there are also many novelties. These are other features, tweaks for customization purposes and new apps. Thanks to the new update file, your tablet’s battery will not die as quickly as it does now. For security issues, keep calm: the upgrade doesn’t have them.

The improvements

The new XXU0ANE2 official firmware is fresh for use having just been launched for few countries this May. In case of a rooted Galaxy Tab 7.0 SM-T231, be sure you know this beforehand: root access will be revoked. Important data won’t end up deleted. A second update con for your device: system partition will be deleted. But the internal / external SD cards won’t be affected.

The tablet present here is the only gadget you must use with the new firmware. The latter shouldn’t be installed on a tablet that comes with a different name; that’s because it will be damaged by the update.

Also, your tablet can’t be upgraded with KIES; the KIES logo is not enabled for this. But our tutorial doesn’t need you to use such a method where a stock ROM must be used; you can employ our guide instead of this other KIES method. If the tablet does have stock ROM, you can freely use OTA for the procedure.

Prerequisites

After reading all of this information, our guide is ready for you to start it. But first, some requirements:

• your tablet’s battery will have to be charged;
• a standard backup (or more than one) should be made to make sure no important data is ruined;
• a NANDroid backup is also needed, so remember to make one;
• a laptop with Windows on it must always be used for an upgrade;
• the notebook’s own security software will need to be deactivated;
• the security software your Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T231 comes fully installed with must be turned off;
• download, by going to this site, USB drivers on your notebook;
• USB Debugging has to be enabled on the tablet afterwards.
