Spending today fighting with my new Samsung galaxy tab & my Linux PC to get Lineage OS shoehorned in.

Break for late lunch after frying my brain reading through then instructions & looking for Odin alternative (found one 🤞).

The battle will commence after the army is good & fed.

Progress is shit. I'd downloaded a MAC flasher instead of the Linux one.

I looked at the options on the site they linked to & it's Heimdall 1.4.1 & I need to download two separate packages front end & backend but no clue as to which ones are what in the list of versions.

Pulling my hair out as there seems to be no option for Linux mint. Having a browse on their forum now, on the off chance.

This is why, as much as I love them, I absolutely hate custom ROMs (yes, I know it's the big companies/device manufacturers who cause this headache) but how awesome should it be to have an existing tool that can do the job rather than, here compile this random pile of code & vague instructions 🤷.

Too complicated for someone who isn't (borderline) into coding or building or compiling from scratch. I'm just a lay user. Finger 🤞 I figure something out.

@s31bz @nekocake

Yeah, not cool. Though looks like I may have found a potential thread on the LM forum that could be helpful.

@nekocake @s31bz

Very cool butalas, no instructs like is my phone/tab involved? Where do I input what? Etc.

Like my OP says, I'm just a lay user. I need full step by step or I don't know what I'm doing.
