Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Lineage OS Not Working

Hello everyone, I have recently been trying to gain compatibility with Lineage OS 16(Android 9 Pie) along with Open GApps, following all the steps of many tutorials, however it does not work at all. Unfortunately, I am inexperienced with this as this is my first time rooting a phone. I loaded the phone into TWRP, however loading the OS shows the loading screen, but then just goes back into TWRP. I apologize if someone has already made a post on this, however I couldn't find anyone having this problem on this device. I used Kingoroot since I didn't have a data cable on myself at the time, so that could be an issue with the bootloader...? I'm really not sure, and help would be much appreciated.
I didn't do this on the Note 2 forum because it is not hard to say that forum is barely viewed, and it could take weeks for me to get a response.

Before I deleted the original OS, it was on Android Kit Kat

I have issue too except i didnt use Kingroot but use odin.
i tried to flash the rom and got the following error msg. I attached screenshot. Does anyone have any solutions to this?
The zip file is lineage-16.0-20200101-unofficial-t0lte.zip
My phone is SGH-T889. It specifically says the zip file is for this model but somehow it doesnt recognise my phone model. Did i wipe something that wipe that along??

Hey, I found out that the issue (at least for me) was that my phone did not have enough storage/the partitions were creating the issue. I am not sure how to solve this, but you may be having the same issue

Did u wipe before install?
If one wipes then installs, there should be enough storage space right?

Yes, I did wipe, however I think the issue is that the phone is creating partitions. This phone was bought many years ago, so it is also possible that the storage is innsuficient for newer versions of Android.

[HELP] Nexus 5 Restoration

Hello XDA Forums,
I have had my nexus 5 (hammerhead) for ages, and it has just been sitting in the cupboard collecting dust as I haven't been able to fix it. I will explain my issue: It will not boot past a screen which displays Google, with an unlocked lock and then shuts down and retries booting again,. It can get into bootloader for a split second before restarting. I also believe it is rooted and in fastboot. Another issue is the fact that my computer will not recognise the device, after holding down the power and volume down it will flash the device "Android" to my device manager and then not be there. I cannot find any help for this certain issue and may even say its unfixable, another point would be that id like to retain the data which is on it because I am trying to see some old memories.
If this is not enough info feel free to ask for more
Ive had it with the battery disconnected plugged into my pc trying to get it recognised, I also have the appropriate drivers
The Screen at boot
The current state of the back

Bump - Help still needed

Asus TF300T is micro SD required for updating

Hi, do i need SD card or micro SD card for updating to 7.1 ? Mine Asus Tf300t sees the sd card but it is still initialzing (for long long time) even i put 8GB or 64GB card.
In the map i don't see the sd card only internal memory.
Should i copy all te files to internal memory ?
I hope someone replies, i don't how i update the Asus, Youtube and many other apps are not working.
Greetz, Bis

Yes, you do! Take a 32GB micro SD card.
For further help please look here! Timduru is the developer of the custom ROM. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-n-7-1-2-katkiss-nougatella-039.3453702/
Good luck!

Hi, now the micro sd card is working on the tablet, but i don't see the USB icon when i press power button and holding volume button down, i just see RCK, Android and Wipe data.
When i type adb reboot bootloader and press enter i hear the sound that laptop and the tablet doens't make connection with USB. Then i see RCK Android Wipedata.
I tried on different laptops with asus driver, i cannot unlock the bootloader.
When i type adb devices then i see the device, but when i type adb reboot bootloader it disconnect, i just see RCK, Android and Wipe data . Also when i type adb devices i sdon't see any devices.
I read many times on XDA forum how to unlock what i need etc..without succes.
With days i am bussy and still not unlocked, i tried on 3 laptops different drivers.
I gonna give up.

That's only what you finaly might do, because being unlocked is mandadory for the devise with view on further changes. Unfortunately nowadays unlock the device isn't possible anymore. So you must keep your tablet alive on stock rom 4.2 Jelly Been! I'm sorry for that. Nevertheless good luck!

Follow Djibe tutorial on another topic. Seems it's working.
Mine is unlock since many years ans is still working thanks to Timduru Rom.

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible about any damage of any kind that this custom binary may cause.
Please pay attention to this post & related ones before proceeding and follow the guide correctly. I will not offer support for any issues that have been already stated.
Your Knox Warranty Bit will be blown once you flash this or others custom binaries, preventing you to use Knox features. It can't be resetted in any way, so think twice before flashing this.
Bugs can be reported here in XDA or via the community's Telegram Group. Please be more clear as possible and make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs.
How do I flash and set it up correctly?
Please notice that the following guide is meant for full stock devices, if you've already rooted your device you can skip it and flash directly the recovery without any extra steps.
Before starting, make sure to backup all your data and important files stored in your phone, since this procedure will format your data partition.
Download Odin3, Samsung's Android USB Drivers, the latest TWRP's tar and a disabled vbmeta image.
Make sure your phone's bootloader is unlocked, follow the guide below in case it isn't:
How to unlock bootloader ?
Open the Settings app, enter Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking (If you don't see Developer Options, enter into About phone>Software info and tap "Build number" 10 times to show it).
Enter Download Mode: to do so power off your device, connect it to a computer via an USB cable and hold both volume up and volume down buttons.
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and your phone will automatically reboot.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later. Make sure to connect the device to Internet during the setup.
Enter Developer Options and check that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means our bootloader is unlocked and your phone has no KnoxGuard lock set.
How to install ?
Connect your phone to your PC and boot in Download Mode (power off your device and hold both volume up and volume down buttons).
Open Odin3, select the TWRP tar by clicking the "AP" button and the patched vbmeta tar by clicking "USERDATA", then press the Start button.
Reboot your phone in recovery mode: while it still plugged in your PC, hold both the power and volume up buttons.
Once TWRP has booted you need to format again your data partition in order to be able to boot in system again. To do so touch Wipe>Format Data and follow the instructions in screen.

its because of f2fs and encryption im working with a very lovely dev hes helping me decrypt theres an issue with this recovery might have to rebuild and see but for now if you want to use twrp on oneui5 you can use android 12 bootloader (flash via) i dont recommend this as stuff like vaultkeep will be broken

There is no custom core yet... And RO2RW hasn't been made for SAMSUNG yet...I am also waiting for the issue to be resolved

Just a heads up, samsung open sourced their initial android 13 build right after they send out 2023 january security update. So they are gonna follow a build late it seems.

I hope to contribute to this phone's development but in it's current state I do not have enough knowledge to be useful. Once it's matured enough and I got enough taste of oneui you can be sure to see me again mate, good luck with the work ahead.

Hi all new here glad to be a member
anyway i just unlocked the bootloader and rooted with magisk through BOOT.img patching.... my Question is, are there any custom roms or anything out yet for this phone? Android 12 .thank you so much

Thats amazing. From my own research i understand this phone is so new that people have yet the get their hands on it to work on it also the fact that it uses a mediatek instead of a snapdragon is a sticking point for a lot of developers even though its basically the same phone as the g power 22 and g play 21

Hi sam9566
Yeah I broke my other phone cheap . So I looked for an unlocked carrier phone close to me and Walmart had like 7 maybe. But they were in lockup couldn't find it. So I asked the guy in the back he looked around and took his key out and went into this metal cage that you couldn't see into and pulled one out and sold it to me really quickly . Then I had to wait 9 days for the OEM UNLOCK to be UN-greyed in dev options. But in those 9 days I waited for an email from moto for my unlock code but never showed. So I got on live site chat and within 2 minutes the person gave me the 20 digit code . And after 9 days I unlocked the bootloader, then I used the Lenovo software to get the factory Rom extracted the boot.img used magisk to patch then flashed.. lol been debloating the crap out this phone.. it uses 51% storage after setup is completed

nice lets try to actually keep this thread alive so maybe we can get a lineage rom for this phone eventually???

well got rid of all the preinstalled apps and moto junk lol got down to 39% storage used. now what lol im bored

Yeah im still completely lost on how you did this could you possibly post a step by step guide???

lol ill try
1: download https://www.motorola.com/us/rescue-and-smart-assistant/p MOTOROLA SITE please be patient the program is slow just a warning if anyone thinks its hung..
2: Download magisk from GITHUB on your phone and install it.
3: download ADB_Fastboot
4: open rescue and smart assistant program and do the steps it says to do, then once it finds the ROM it MIGHT say already have latest... Say download anyway..
5: now once its done downloading dont do anything else. go to the download location and open the file and copy the BOOT.IMG to desktop or where ever you want it..
6: Now copy the BOOT.IMG to your phone's internal storage Download folder.
7:Run magisk and click top install then select and patch a file. locate the boot.img on your phone and patch it.
8: once done copy the patched file back to the PC i put it in ADB FASTBOOT folder. rename it too BOOT.IMG open CMD with admin rights or it wont work.
9: type (adb reboot-bootloader), should reboot into bootloader. now do this command (fastboot devices) make sure it see's the device.. then type ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) -BOOT.IMG is what ever name you make it but for simple measures i did boot.img. let it finish reboot device with ( fastboot reboot ).. now open magisk and let it finish what its got to do...
10: ENJOY hope this helps someone out.. i never wrote a guide before as you can tell hahaha.. let me know if there is any QUESTIONS
