I have been using a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. I just learned recently that it does not get security updates anymore, and I am shocked and appalled. What can I do to update the OS on it and get the latest security updates?
Would following this guide be a way do that? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...alaxy-s7-herolte-stock-to-android-13.4201187/
Note: I'm a programmer by trade and fairly technical, I just know nothing about phones.
Thanks.

Try a custom ROM, because Samsung stopped the update support for Galaxy S7
You could find anything you want in the modding section, but the Exynos variant is limited in it.

Hello everybody,
I had a bit too many drinks with my gf and set a new password for my phone and then we went out and i thought i lost my phone even though it was all the time at home so i locked it with find my phone (its a SAmsung galaxy s8 plus) so i locked it and i forgot what i set as my password. So was wondering is there any possible way to make the phone workable? like i thought maybe installing some custom rom or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all!
I'm using an old Samsung Galaxy X (aka Nexus aka i9250) to test and learn how android operates.
I already rooted it.
I'm running now LineageOS 13.0 Maguro (Android 6.0.1) with TWRP installed.
This device has IMEI HV 01 (never saw this).
Whats the command to be used in terminal to change IMEI?

Good morning/afternoon/evening!
I'm attempting to find and load a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T330NU), but I haven't been able to detect the device with fastboot, nor have I been able to unlock SecureBoot. I'm just asking for some guidance on how to proceed with this. I know Lineage OS isn't compatible with this device, so that's already out of the way. Feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them!
