Hi All,
I have a two Relays that have served me well, and I enjoyed having them, but the time has come to pass them on to someone else. Before I do that, I'd like to update them to the most recent versions of stable-release software that is available for them.
For Cyanogen, I have:
cm-11-20150831 (this is stable)
cm-11-20160523 (this is a nightly build)
For recovery I have:
philz touch 6.48.4
I'd like to replace Philz with a newer TWRP, but the Relay is no longer listed on the TWRP website. I'm also wondering if there was ever a stable CM release newer than the one I have.
Does anyone have sources for the above?
Thanks.
Is there any one still developing for this device? If so, is it possible to get Android Go on it.. might just breathe new life into it and bring it upto date..

Although I'm not a developer I have been working on my SGH T699 from T Mobile. You may already know of the JellyBean and before. Recently I've noticed new builds for the samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G like the Validus 5.0.2 or the Fat Toad. I haven't tried those yet I was trying for a higher version. With 8.0 Oreo it requires partitioning and I need to brush up on that. So I went lower to the 7.0 or the 7.1 Nougat. I started noticing a lot of broken or old links so I had to resort to fishing the internet for most of the packages apparently lost in XDA. I pretty much have all of them and was just starting to try a few out when I ran into problems like I want to keep using the keyboard and Wifi calling or a related Wifi issue. It also crashed, went into bootloop or even soft bricked within a few days. The Roms and packages I've found are highly unstable and I see many had flashing issues. So far I've been tricking my device into taking the flash and even then it doesn't hold long. I'd like 6.0 MarshMallow if I can, maybe 7.1 if they ever get stabler that'd be great. But so far the ROMs for the Galaxy S (relay) are fairly horrible to say the least. I get the impression these so-called developers aren't testing their ROM creations more than 5 minutes and then handing them off to noobs who may be very likely to brick their device trying to get it in and running, only to have it crash repetedly! Or worse, hard-bricked.
I like this device. I think I'll keep working on it.

If the following table is correct then I have a GT-N8013. I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 on it: (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU_N8013.tar.md5).
How close can one get to the latest version of Android and still have a working GT-N8013?
GT-N8000 - Wifi+3G+calling
GT-N8005 - Wifi+3G
GT-N8010 - Wifi (Except USA)

I've just picked up a used 10.1 (first edition) and am hoping to get it onto 5.1.1 or 6.01.
I see a custom CM ROM from Cyanogen, that states it's 6.0 official, but when I go to the site the release is really old for the 8013, and I'm not sure if it's been grouped in with the more recent beta group that is linked in the thread or if it's not.
I also see an older Cyanogen thread for 12, but that's pre 6.0 and appears to be somewhat abandoned.
My Note 3 is on phronesis 6.0.1, and I would like to get the Note 10.1 to as close to that as possible, without dealing with any major bugs.
Thank you for your assistance.
Some progress.
I managed to update mine to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip) via CWM v6.0.3.6 but Google Apps keeps crashing.
I've tried both open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160721.zip (Open GApps) and gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip. Both take hours to install and just keep crashing whenever you try to do anything.
Anyone have any luck getting cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip / and GApps.zip working?

I had it crashing initially too, with CM-13.
I reinstalled the ROM, root, twrp, everything. I also made sure to install the latest "Stock" Gapps, before rebooting once the ROM was in place. Since then I have not had any issues.
I did however have some issues using the nano package. Hope that helps.
Still no joy
I still can't get CM-13 to work. I use CWM. I made sure I was using the latest CWM 6.0.4.6.
I booted into CWM, factory reset and cleared cache. Flashed cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and flashed gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and rebooted.
No joy.
What actual gApps and CM-13 did you use? Maybe I need to use the same version of TWRP as you used?
I'm stumped.

I used the ARM 6.0 Stock version for CM 13. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads
I ended up swapping to the 2014 model because I got a good deal on a Verizon version (which is locked but oh well), so I don't recall the TWRP that I ran. It sounds like that sometimes gives people issues.
I do recall that using the nano version of gapps was not working for me. Could be a coincidence, but I had constant crashes when I tried using it.
This is the thread I used to grab the ROM and TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-lollipop-t3269375
It helps to read the installation notes properly
The problem(s) I was having were resolved by using twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013 instead of N8013-CWM-Touch-6.04.6. I also used open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160803 instead of nano but I really think it was TWRP that made everything work.
I'm now running cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 without any problems.
I consider this thread closed.

How did you get KitKat on n8013. It was never released and no one successfully flashed 4.4 n8010 to n8013. Odin keeps giving an error. Please I've been trying for years now since it's been 2 years since update was released and doesn't look like it'll ever release (**** yoi Samsung with your update **** and regions)
Anyone have any luck? I've had this tablet since 2013 and I stopped using it because it has always been such a laggy sluggish experience. I thought I would try putting an AOSP ROM on it to see if that helped. Everything is so old for this device that it's nearly impossible to find the old files, ROMs, recoverys, etc. I can't even get TWRP or CWM to work on it. Maybe it's not worth the trouble anymore.

Well official only kitkat if you are international (Samsung decided not to release a lot of device updates in the us for kit kat including the s3, galaxy light, and this one). However I think you can get CM 13.1, idk about anything more recent but there is a (slightly) active community for it still left. Its a shame that this flagship tablet was neglected. I hope it doesn't happen with future Samsung ones but I've avoided buying any. I still use mine on jellybean for basic internet browsing and games

Not sure if you're still looking but I just installed Android Nougat v7.1.2 using the instructions provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185119
I have a N8010 that topped out at 4.1.2. I flashed to a N8013 kernel/rom about 2 years ago which maxed out at 4.2.2 . I just recently found that link to the LineageOS build (Formerly Cyanogenmod) when I was contemplating buying a new tablet. The tablet was getting a bit sluggish so I decided to go ahead and blast it out and see what happened. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Had some issues getting the Recovery flashed but once I did, it was pretty smooth from there. I had backed up all the apps so once I got it booted and restored all the apps, I was surprised how responsive it is. Oh, and you can say goodbye to all those SD card issues that the Note 10.1 had since this version of Android integrates the external SD with the internal SD so everything gets installed on the external card. No need for apps like folder mount, etc.
I highly recommend it. The only issue is that you lose the integrated S-Pen functionality but you can reinstall some of those apps from the play store and bring back a lot of those features. Some 3rd party apps actually work better.
Good luck!
7.1.2 on GT-N80013
I am currently running an unoffical build I picked up here on xda it is an unofficial Lineage OS build. I haven't currently found any bugs... camera works, bluetooth works, wifi works... at least for me. The build number is 14.1-20170810-unnofficial-n8013

I'd appreciate a link to the rom you installed. Thx.
I'm interested as well I'm still running original os. Also wondering if the rom update works well on these tablets since they are older. As Android matures the os gets bigger which can impact performance on older CPUs.

I recently installed Lineage OS 14 and it is working great.
Tablet is stable, everything works, great battery life.
All devices work gps, etc...
The s-pen will not work like it did stock but there are apps you can get that seem to work better
Squid and Sketch for drawing....squid seems cool if you write with stylus
Install Magisk instead of supersu.

It seems like all custom roms include root. I'm trying to get around SafetyNet so I'd like to find one that doesn't. I currently have CyanogenMod 13 with virtual repartition version of TWRP. Are there ROMs like this? I'm currently reading through the development forum but most don't say one way or the other, probably because they include root.
If I can't find one, are there some that can be unrooted? I don't think CyanogenMod falls into this category. I can try to hide root if nothing else and have done a lot of reading on that using SUhide, Xposed, Root Switch but I think it would be a lot easier if there was a stock-ish kit kat or higher ROM I could use and unroot.
Thanks!
Depending on what you need to pass SafetyNet for, I'd say you are probably out of luck on the S2.
The last official ROM (from Samsung) for the Skyrocket was Jelly Bean (4.1.2), which is too old. Unfortunately, I don't know of any third-party ROM beyond that which doesn't come with root support pre-installed, and given the S2's curious bootloader configuration, it might not pass SafetyNet even if you could find one. Then, there is the minor fact that the S2 is old enough that it might be not be approved by Google even if you could get past all the other issues.
If you really need this, it might be time to consider an upgrade. However, if you do manage to get it to work, that would be a pretty cool find for this old phone.
I have been on a plain rooted 4.1.2 rom for years. I now need to update for a couple apps I use to work. Can someone give me some brief feedback and point me in the right direction so I can update my phone without locking the bootloader?
I like the plain set up I have now, so maybe I just need to update to the highest version without locking BL. Thanks.
I thought about trying this---> File: cm-10.1-20130315-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip, but all links that I've found are dead. Anyone know where I might find this file? Thanks
CM is dead. The leftovers rose from the ashes as Lineage OS.
Look them up. Pretty stable.
Jump straight into Marshmallow or Nougat. I'm still on CM12.1 Lollipop, but the newer stuff should work fine. There are threads for all of it, so do good reading before you start.
Thanks for answering my thread. I haven't messed around with my phone in years. I guess what you're saying is since I've never took the OTA 4.3, I can load an advanced CM without locking my bootloader.
phonetool....thanks for the input. I tried Nougat but I had issues with my 3G data and a couple other little things.
I decided to go with 12.1 Lollypop and it is great. All my apps work and 3G fires right up.
I did a quick search but most of what I found was > 1 year ago. For those still rocking the SGS3 as their daily driver, what's the best ROM available from a stability / security perspective? Are there any changes since last year, or has everybody moved on? I'm on 4.4.2 right now and have noticed things have been slowing down over the past year or so but I'm still fighting the urge to upgrade to a new phone. I still think Samsung nailed it with this model and would like to hang onto it a little while longer.
edit: I've been looking around and it looks like I'm out of luck because I'm probably on the 4.4.2 NE1 firmware. Sad times.
So I dug out my old SGS3 with the busted screen and swapped out the mainboards with the newer 4.4.2 one so I could get access to my old unlocked bootloader. Tried flashing the latest builds of Lineage, OctOS, and Carbon but all 3 would just bootloop. I thought maybe it was because I was on an old CWM recovery so I hunted all over until I found a ROM I could boot (an old Gingerbread AOKP build) so I could use it to install TWRP.
Got TWRP 3.1 going on there and tried again with all the Nougat ROMS (Lineage, OctOS, Carbon) but no luck, still the same behavior. So I threw in the towel and bought an Essential PH1. It's the only good looking phone I could find in the same size range as the SGS3.
Hi everyone,
This is driving me mad. I've been trying to install a bunch of different ROMS on my Samsung Galaxy A10 and while it seemingly installs just fine, when I press "reboot system" it gets into a perpetular loop. Am I doing something wrong here?
Bliss OS Rom v14 w/ Android 11 for Samsung A10 Arm64 ( Stable Unofficial ) released 2021
IMO you should contact developers of Bliss OS to get your issue fixed.

I don't have experience with Samsung phones in particular, but with Moto phones I've used the online recovery tool to restore the phone back to stock and start over. Not sure there is anything similar with Samsung? Good luck!

Hi, I believe there is, but the thing is that this is like my third ROM on this phone (Decided to install a new one after my bluetooth headphones refused to connect with my phone while being able to connect just fine to literally everything else) & this is the first time I'm having issues like that. Before, when I managed to install the ROM then it was smooth sailing since hence why I'm asking for help. I've spent a few hours trying different ROMS already.

Since it has worked fine up to now I'd like to first exhaust all the concievable solutions before going for the nuclear option of stock firmware.

Understood. For some reason that is beyond my comprehension, it seems it is sometimes suggested to install stock and then a different custom ROM. Again, I don't know what it is actually supposed to do, as I've stayed with LineageOS to keep it simple. I'm not saying to stay with stock, just use it to get phone back to default, then start from there.
nuclear option..stock - hahaha )
Gawd Damit, I tried LineageOS too & a bunch of other stuff & it's always the same problem. I'm all out of ideas now.
Please help, Tried every ROM, same result, doesn't boot
Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy A10 SM-A105F and I tried installing all kinds of different roms on it and they install just fine but then when i go to boot to system I end up in this hell hole of perpetual booting and restarting. I've been at it...
