1 year ago In the same process support for the N5110 and N5120 could be added... :thinking:
Do you know if they differ in device codes, in software or in hardware? - Because there is only one TWRP page with all three images, but they have the same size and the Lineage Wiki also does not show any remarkable differences afaik.

1 year ago Should be straight forward to add.
Here is the TWRP link: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote80.html
Lets first add support for the N5100 variant and see if we can add more support later.

1 year ago The different variants of the Samsung Note 8.0 are:
The main differences are in the radio capabilities. There are also variants when it comes to storage space, but that should not impact the installation of the ROM itself.
I am using the following sequence to install a ROM on the device (example Divest OS)
On your phone Open the 'Settings' app Navigate to the 'About' page Tap on the field labeled 'Build number' 7 times. A toast should appear saying that developer mode has been enabled There should now be an screen in the 'Settings' app labeled "Developer options" Under "Developer options", enable "Android debugging" Shut down the device Boot into download mode by pushing volume down and power simultaneously On your computer Check connectivity with e.g. adb devices If device is recognized Download Recovery as .img Open terminal in folder with the recovery -flash recovery with heimdall flash --RECOVERY divested ... -dos-n5100-recovery.img --no-reboot
On your phone Boot into recovery by pushing home/volume down / power simultaneously Do full factory reset Sideload divest os with adb sideload divested-14.1-date-dos-n5100.zip Do full factory reset reboot system
This is very straight forward and to my understanding the same for all older Samsung devices
I am happy to start with testing for the GT-N5100
Thanks

Please provide links to any available images of the device, such as official stock firmware or custom ROMs you would like to install.
Divest OS: https://divestos.org/pages/devices#device-n5100
Lineage OS (outdated): https://lineageosroms.com/n5100
Lineage Wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/n5100

Do you own the device and would be willing to test the installer?
Additional context
Please provide any additional context or information that may be helpful in adding support for this device.
In general device can be flashed straigt forward using heimdall and adb sideload on Linux. An automated installer like this would be appreciated. Official TWRP is available. Probably will only work with installing own ROMs.
