Upgrade Samsung Galaxy Tab E to Android 5 or Higher

[sydCPT]

Hi All

I am having issues trying to manage all our corporate tablets remotely. We have 55 Samsung Galaxy Tab E's in the field, all running Android 4.4.4. Problem is that Google Business Apps (which ordinarily allows for Device Management) wont enforce any device management because apparently it only works from Android 5 and up.

My query: Is there anyway to legitimately upgrade to Android 5 on our 55 tablets (without losing our warrantee), or is anyone aware of an alternative way of managing tablets remotely.

We need to restrict all apps except for our business apps and restrict all mobile traffic except traffic generated by our business apps.

Thanks in advance

None, its a budget tablet and Samsung never released anything but 4.4.4

Android 5 is available to Verizon customers in the states, but not South Africa. This is one of the flaws of Android unfortunately.

Thanks for the responce

Ah okay get looking for the firmware on sammobile and flash it via Odin

Awesome! Thanks for the tips. Do you think this will void the warrantee?
