I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ model SM-G955U (Snapdragon) on T-Mobile USA
- build number NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8
- service provider SW ver: SA0MC-SM-G955U_OYN_TMB_0187 98891 a315a30494859 TMB/TMB/TMB
- The phone is a USA version purchased directly from TMOUSA.
From the build number, I guess my bootloader is version 1, right?
What is the best method to flash TWRP recovery and then install a custom rom on my device?
There's a post here, but it mentions version 5 bootloaders. Will that method work for me? Is there a better method instead? I've been reading threads all day, but I'm more confused than when I started due to the different models of the S8+.
Is there a LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROM for my device? I want a rooted ROM without GAPPS and I prefer a fully-featured ROM like AOKP. Any suggestions for me? (I want to move up from 7.1 and I prefer a stable ROM, so I thought Android 8.1 might be the best option.)

So i am new to this redmi 2 thread and the device as i was on samsung j5 ...same soc just better camera , screen, and 0.5 gb more ram. Since the development sucked there (we do not have a stable cm 13 ..despite the stock rom updated to 6.0) i decided to exchange my device with my mother's. And i want to go to a nougat based rom from miui 8 global version kitkat. My requirements are..stable rom nougat based rom with volte (jio!!) And customisation and fluidity...recommend a kernel also. So how should i go from miui 8 non rooted with stock recovery to nougat...i just want links for compatible twrp and whether i need to update to lollipop bootloader to run latest rom. And i definitely want your valuable opinions about roms.
Thanks in advance!!

A little information first -
Original Device Configuration: One Plus 7 Pro Nebula Blue Purchased From T-Mobile - Stock Firmware
Current Device Config: Flashed To Oxygen OS International Version - 9.5.11 - Running With Root, Custom Kernel and TWRP
=======================================================================================================================
I was thinking about upgrading to Android 10 (International version), but I see that there are (were?) a lot of problems with that release. Is that still the case? and if not, what is the best method for me to follow if I want to wipe everything and start fresh on Android 10 (International version not TMobile)?Or is recommended to use one of the custom OxygenOS/Android 10 roms for bug fixes, stability and battery life improvements?
I've actually been running this phone stock with root and a custom kernel and have loved it to the point where I didnt feel the need for a custom rom, but I'm not opposed to it if it means a better Android 10 experiences VS whats available from OP.
Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks
No theres not sorry

Last version of S7 firmware is FXXS6ESGD, get it of sam mobile or Samfirm tool. There's some good roms based on that, de bloated that run really well.
The device didn't get 2nd major android update and probably wont get one. It is already barely getting firmware / security updates. So I kindly request the developers to develope a custom rom for this device.

But its just 4 years old and I have seen people make custom roms for way older phones. I have seen people make android 9 custom roms for devices that stopped at android 5. Plus is there no other way to make a custom rom without the device itself? There are a lot of people who still use it today and could possibly help in the process of making the rom.
Please make a custom rom for this model SM-G615F. I want Android 11. But this device stuck in Android 8.1

You will have to learn how to build it yourself, developers here don't build ROMs for unpopular devices or devices they do not personally own or use. You will also have to learn how to build TWRP for your specific device model number. But first, you need to see if you can unlock your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked and if you can't unlock it, you can't use custom ROMs or TWRP even if you manage to figure out how to build your ROM and TWRP.

If I have to build twrp and custom rom for this ...how can build?
Hi all!
Sorry for this thread, but I'm new here, at least searvhing for ROMs, and I get lost on lots of threads here.
I would like to know the latest OFFICAL ROM for the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" tablet. My tablet has now the version 4.1.2.
Follow some infos:
MODEL Number: GT-N8000
Android version: 4.1.2
Base version: N8000UBLL2
Kernel version:
3.0.31 - 835372
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 24 18:54:47 KST 2013
Compilation number: JZ054K.N8000UBCMA4
The actual ROM/System is in Brazilian Portuguese, but I don't care changing it to English.
Of course I would like some really actual Android version, such like version 12 or at least 11, but, as this tablet is really old, I understand that the lastest OFFICIAL version can be old.
So, I would just like to know what is the latest OFFICIAL version available for my tablet.
I would appreciate any help on getting this latest OFFICIAL help and also link for instruction on how to update.
Thanks in advance!
Regards!

Thank you @JJEgan !!!
Checking the site you mentioned, updato.com, for my country, Brazil, there is no newer version than the one already on my tablet. Can I install a version from another country? Like UK or USA.
By OFFICIAL, I mean tested, validated and mainly, stable. Here at XDA, Is there a stable version newer then this 4.4.2 or even this 4.4.2 version?
Can I find this official 4.4.2 version you mentioned, here at XDA?
Thanks again!
Hey,
Good afternoon!
If you want to continue with KITKAT I recommend using the Mikyno Gnabo Rom V8 custom rom [AIR COMMAND - NOTE 2014 APPS], It is updated to 4.4.2 and is lighter than the Original rom I used it for a long time.
Today I'm testing the html6405 LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12L) Rom, it's in the Beta version, if you want a more stable one you can try LineageOS 16.0 Android 9 for GT-N8000 GT-N8010 GT-N8013 GT-N8020 FINAL VERSION.

Hi! Thank you!
I don't need to keep KitKat version. No problem about moving to a newer version. Actually it should be better.
So, as you said LineageOS 16.0 Android 9 is more stable, I will choose this one. Thanks!
Can I download it here at XDA? With all instructions on how to install?
Thanks a lot!
Fala Rodrigo!
You can follow the tutorial on this page.
Are you familiar with the process of installing custom ROMs?
I was testing the LineageOS 16.0 Android 9 version, but I found it heavy, it kept crashing even without demanding much from the tablet.
I'm currently installing the LineageOS 14.1 Android 7.1.2 version, which may be lighter. After all, it's a very old tablet
