Why I can't update kernel version?

Question

I have perform the following command into ssh shell:

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo reboot

But I still have an old kernel version, infact:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.10.25+ #622 PREEMPT Fri Jan 3 18:41:00 GMT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux

Why my kernel is not updated? What am I missing? How can I solve?

Tnx

its sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade you need to run - you then need to configure the Pi to use the new kernel. — Wilf, May 31, 2014 at 3:29

Go to [ https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commits/master ] and find the commit key for the version you want.

Then use the following command will update to the last version.

sudo rpi-update 81355451bcd9a214fdf221ca322b6ca681d8da55

sudo rpi-update without any other parameters will update to the latest firmware.

sudo rpi-update is a different command than sudo apt-get update, are you doing rpi-update? Your question doesn't show rpi-update.

@HeatfanJohn I'm not who asked this question, one time I made sudo rpi-update but still in the same version who is not the last one, so I had to specify the last commit to be updated
