I wanted to flash my sm-j700t1 with a lineage os rom then found out after installing twrp and rooting it they discontinued it. Experience os is dog****, and the other one I tried didn't even work. Could someone just give me a old rom or something I am kind of desperate at this point please and thank you.

Dear all,
I have tried in the past to backup and flash roms on some devices using Windows with some success. Now I have completely switched to Linux and have not been able to find a guide that would allow me to get started.
I have a Lenovo mobile (A806) that comes with good hardware but a crappy version of Android 4.4.2 that makes the user experience very unpleasant.
I am trying to figure out how to root my device, backup the rom currently on my device, find a custom rom (possibly based on Android 5),
flash it, and eventually troubleshooting common problems one might have. It might as well be that there are many other things I need to know, so please just let me know: I am here to learn.
I have no idea where to start to do this from Linux, so I would really appreciate if you folks could point me to the right tools/resources,
and help me getting started.
Thanks a lot in advance to all of you

Unfortunately, there is not much about your device on xda.
You can check this thread: Lenovo Golden Warrior A8 (A806) root.
There are some users which have managed to root this device.
Maybe they can help.
Good luck !

Hi Luca,
here is a thread about flashing ROMs on LINUX: Flash Rom under Linux.
And here another one: step 1 and 3 under linux ?
... but they are originally for another devices.
Here is a better guide: [ROM][DEV][REF] Heimdall Firmware Packages S4 LTE+ I9506 ... as you can see, it's for Samsung devices.
But it's a good read anyway.
Many thanks
I hope I can flash something soon!
Cheers,
Luca

Happy new year !
I am new to this. So, Am I right here at all?
I am new to rooting.
0.-By upgrading this hardware to Android 7.1 I try to benefit from the latest tech. standard.
But I have no idea whatsoever what s feasible at all. -- Oh, please don't reply: "You can do everything." What is everything? Where can I learn it?
1.-Is this software compatible with Rom CM14.1 Nougat Android 7.1 Night Owl Alpha 6, I downloaded from here?
2.-I downloaded ClockworkMod.
3.-I saved instructions like "How to Root Android 4.1.2 with KingoRoot.apk
4.-I saved "How to install ClockworkMod."
Do I need more items to download? Which ones please?
I ask you to please give me the right direction at this very very basic situation.
Thank you very much.

Greetings and welcome to xda. The rom you want to install is this one yes ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-nightowl-preview-t3455847
The rom will be pre rooted so you will only need to install your custom recovery and then flash the rom. Most of the users on xda are really friendly and helpful so do not be frightened of asking any questions in the the threads and the experts will help you (if they don't just threaten them with me haha). Anything you are unsure of just ask in here

I can not find alpha 6 but alpha 7 is nougat the other 2 night owl threads are mm and kk which I can link. Please note though it is only the operating system you are changing so your hardware will be the same but will have new feature
As long as you have installed the correct recovery you can back up your current rom and then try any of the 3 and return to your current rom safely. If you ask in this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/help
the experts there will be able to assist you better as they have your device
Good Luck

Could you possibly give a link to this if you still know where it was? I can't find it no matter how hard I try to look through that forum.

How about letting us know how it all went?
And what is the appropriate process of installing it?

Everything works great except the 3G. Works ONLY in Facebook Messenger and Viber.
Installed it as any other ROM, with TWRP and a SD card or you can use SP Flash Tool. Same process as any other rom installation
Hope this help a little bit :fingers-crossed:
Here is a post how to install install TWRP

Hi, I'm relatively a noob to all this but I have some knowledge. I've been trying to find a proper guide to rooting my S8. I haven't found something that works yet, it's a Canadian version SM-G950W. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would a great help.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

This is the post that started it all for me. You can only get root with a nougat rom for reasons I don't really understand. Try the PartCyborg rom or DreamRom after you get safestrap from this method.

Hi guys
I'm looking to update the firmware on this old tablet as it's a bit out of date and a bit sluggish it's been a long time since I've rooted or flashed anything android. I own a Linux satellite receiver and have flashed firmware images bootloader etc so hoping this will help me. I'm basically looking for a guide from start to finish to bring this tablet a bit more up to date, hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Check if these 2 ROMs are enough stable for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-cm-14-1-based-android-4-4-4-7-1-2.3648887/
Thanks matteo I think I'd like to try your build I've read quite a few of your post and you seem to know quite a lot about these tablets all I need to know now is what to download and how to flash it
Thanks

What to download is in the thread (rom, gapps and twrp), and you can find instructions all over the internet. I've wrote something in my thread of lineage 16 and twrp on how to install them (lineage 16 has the same instructions as the other ROMs I've linked you) too. What I advice you is to understand well what you have to do before doing everything. Otherwise, it can happen that you'll come back and say: "device doesn't boot anymore, what to do now?"
Yes I'm trying to gather as much information as I can so as to avoid any problems when I actually try to do the flash process. I will read up some more.
Thanks again

Hey Matteo- do you think this ROM is still the best option for those of us with a SM-T230 / DEGAS ? There isn't a proper LineageOS build is there? Appreciate the knowledge, thank you.

Yes. There's a LOS16 for T235, but not for T230.

Hi, I will ask maybe stupid question, since knowledge is 0 in terms of android, but is there a possibility to upload some ROM with android 9.0 to T230? (I even do not know if I haven't made mistake in question )
Anyway I need 9.0 for app and already rooted device following step by step instruction.
Thx in advance

No, since there aren't any devs with enough interest/knowledge to make them.
Hi there. I have found an old SM-T230. I need to install some apps, which require at least Android 7. Will the above Custom ROMS work in that way, that i can install apps build for Android 7 or higher? I fear, i have to find some GApps but thats a other story... if someone can assist to find the right ROM and GApps, this would be nice...
