SM-N920i which version of Lineageos should I use - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Have a NOTE 5 (SN-N920i). Would appreciate if if someone could let me know which version of LineageOS would be appropriate. Can't find my model listed anywhere.
Thanks

you can use the international version. builds for noblelte should work. get it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ineageos-17-1-s6-s6edge-s6edge-note5.4132641/

I have the same model, any of my noblelte builds should (or any other noblelte builds), just make sure you have TWRP 3.3.1 or higher and it should flash fine, otherwise you may get an error about incompatibility

Flashing TWRP

Dear XDA users,
I've installed TWRP 3.0.0 and CM13 on my S5 mini a long time ago, but when I found out there was an update available for cyanognmod, I saw there was a newer version of TWRP available! My question is, how do I install the latest TWRP version? Can I just install it using the older version, or does that brick my device? I'm also wondering if it's really necessary to update, since I think the old TWRP version should work fine.
Thank in advance,
StanleyNL (Stan)

Where do I find latest TWRP for TF701

All,
I am having issues with the current version of TWRP (unofficial) for the TF701. I doesn't see the data partition and can't do backups.
I have seen that other devices have had similar behaviors but nothing on the TF701 and I can't remember where I got my current version.
I have searched here and have found nothing. Although some users refer to a new version - there are no links.
I am running Katkiss 7.1 #21 and have TWRP 3.1.0 0 installed.
Can anyone provide a link to where any updated versions of TWRP can be found? I promise I will bookmark it this time.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers
Not quite sure what are you looking, but check this one here.
There is only one TWRP version for the TF701 and that's the Kang version you seem to have installed.
There were a few updates to it lately but I gave nit tried the latest version. But it seems to be ok. Check the thread in Original Development.

Troubleshooting, touch screen not working in TWRP

Hi everyone, so some mistakes have been made today. While playing around with substratum theme engine on my mix running lineage-os 14.1, i had uninstalled one of the themes and then decided to uninstall the app entirely, however after uninstall it didnt reset the theme, so i rebooted. While attempting to reboot it got stuck in a boot loop. At this point I plugged my phone into my pc and booted into twrp so i could access my files and get them off, however when attempting to boot into twrp i could not use the touch screen which is preventing me from re-flashing my rom. and so after troubleshooting for an hour or soi had all my files off of my device, so i decided to format the system partition. so now i have no rom flashed and a twrp that i cannot use due to lack of touchscreen, its temporarily bricked i guess. So my questions are; A. can i use an otg cable and a mouse to control twrp? B. Is there some way to directly flash a rom from adb or from the connected pc. Then I should also state that I have tried older/newer versions of twrp to try to get the touchscreen working, to no avail (currently running 3.1.1-0 lithium). Ive read that it may be touchscreen drivers or something that are mis-matched from the rom. the onlyt issue is that there is no rom, also ive heard that the touchscreen is at a kernel level so i may need to flash a new kernel to get it working. TBH im not going to do anything else so that i dont completely brick my phone. Thank you all in advance for helping out!
Please try this (older) TWRP by MrRaines: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298927160
It's TWRP 3.0.2-0 based but has different kernel/driver that is more compatible with a varous bunch of ROMs.
You're a god, this is exactly what I needed, thanks!!!

Ok glad to read that it works.
Please keep in mind: the TWRP of MrRaines is an older one and is heavily modified.
ATM i'm trying to investigate what's the specific reason other TWRP versions are conflicting with touchscreen drivers on every new release of an stable or dev rom but MrRaines TWRP is still working ^^
The TWRP compatibility case has become even worse with the release of some Android 7.x / Nougat based ROMs - without an official kernel source release for Android 7 by Xiaomi (Android 6 kernel sources should have been released some weeks ago).
Could take a couple of days to find a reason and some more to find a solution...
... any help, tips and confidential information is very welcome @MrRaines @jcadduono

Hmmm. I did try two or even three other versions of TWRP. The first two would not even flash giving me an error. The third worked but touch screen would not work. Final attempt was the one from MrRaines which worked perfect!

Updated Kali NetHunter Guide ?

hi so i bought OP3T to have nethunter on it. but now i am totally confused how to install nethunter on my device properly, there needs to be an updated guide about it that i couldn't find in xda forums.
first about my phone:
it's OP3T on nougat, OOS 4.1.7 . currently i'm using latest official LOS 14.1 rom.
with Encryption enabled, on LOS stock kernel.
What i tried is this thread,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/kernel-kali-nethunter-oneplus-3t-t3507816
and i downloaded
nethunter-generic-arm64-kalifs-full-rolling-3.20-20170903-2143.zip
kernel-nethunter-oneplus3T-cm-nougat-3.20-20170903-2143.zip
by following above guide i went into TWRP recovery i flashed kernel which also flashed supersu with it, and then flashed kali nethunter,
everything went perfect, no problems, but i can't use kali nethunter, its terminal does not open,
on above thread @uaiclout pointed to following thread to use that build,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-linaro-uber-t3455888/
but when i went to that thread that is a kernel and not a rom, and not a nethunter build,
i don't understand what do i have to do to make NetHunter work properly? and there is no specific thread / guide on it. i don't wanna brick my phone so taking my steps carefully, as i am new in OP3T and coming from Samsung devices there are some new strange abbreviations being used in OP3T forums which i don't know what they mean.
like bootloader thing is not being mentioned in OP3T forums but firmwares (i am confused what they are?) and like kernels are using some strange terms,
so it will be very thankfull for someone who uses NetHunter on OP3T successfully to create a guide or atleast tell others how you made it work on nougat LOS or other non-stock based custom roms? and kernels + wifi devices to be detected on phone like TL-WN722N ?
thanks in advance.
Hello Mate,
Welcome to the OnePlus fam!
So as I've understood, your Kali Terminal is not working. I've had the exact issue, and I fixed it by reinstalling the Terminal apk ;(https://github.com/offensive-securi...thunter-installer/update/data/app/Term-nh.apk)
If you're getting a chroot error, uninstall the chroot, and re-download it from Chroot Manager.
To correct your misunderstandings, Firmware is the base software of the phone, which has Modem information, etc etc. Firmware is released by OnePlus, and it has minor changes and tweaks with every new version. Developers can choose any Firmware version to build their ROM over it. So if you're installing a new ROM, make sure to check the Firmware version. If your current firmware version is below the required version for the ROM, TWRP will give you a "Error=7" when flashing the ROM.
Kali Nethunter is a Kernel for OP3/3T, not a ROM. Make sure you've flashed the correct Zip file, as there are many versions, one for OOS stock, another for LOS, and so on and on.
Also for using Kali for Wi-Fi related purposes, I must warn you that it is not legal, but if you must, then there is a specific Wi-Fi adapter to be used with the 3/3T. I will update you on what the exact model is, and it is quite inexpensive on eBay.
I advise you to use Kali on OOS, rather than LOS, as it is more stable on OOS.
Cheers!

now i am on latest PA official rom, i'm gonna try again. i like non-stock based roms because they allow device encryption with root (which stock roms don't allow) and i always keep my device encrypted as a security and ethical hacking student . i try to secure my devices from every new hack i learn. but i heard when you install NetHunter on Android, its security is compromised already, anyways,
as i mentioned the zips i downloaded from NetHunter builds, do you see any wrong zip? i downloaded kernel for CM based roms and also generic NetHunter,
which exactly Rom+Kernel combinations you have if you are using NetHunter? my device was on OOS 4.1.7 before i installed LineageOS 14.1 official on it. so suggest me the better OOS? and i will have to download anyway coz i lost my original backup of stock OOS 4.1.7 .
about wifi devices, i have 3 devices.
1. TP-LINK TL-WN722N
2. ALFA AWUS036H
3. ALFA AWUS036NH
none of them was detected by NetHunter app info screen, i heard on kali nethunter thread that TP Link TL-WN722N works, but it was not detected. but i can buy new device if needed, thats not a big issue, though it would be better if i can make one of above device to work with it. and there is a discussion on it that i will check if my NetHunter works properly first.
about the firmwares, i still don't get it, correct me if i'm wrong,
let say my phone was on OOS 4.1.7 when i bought it, then i rooted and installed TWRP on it, then i installed LineageOS 14.1 on it. so technically i am still on firmware 4.1.7 ? is that what you mean?
so if i want to install CM 13 on my device i will have to check what firmware is CM 13 build upon and flash that firmware before i flash CM 13 ? is that right?
so there is no trouble of bootloaders in OP3T as it was in samsung ? like in note 5 i upgraded to nougat and then i wanted to go back to lollypop but i couldn't because newer bootloader didn't allow me to go back, and i had to do some exercise to downgrade bootloader to lollypop before i could install any lollypop rom. so in OP3T firmware is to be flashed before installing certain roms is same like bootloaders was in samsung?
is it safe always to go back and forth in firmware flashings? if i wanna install lollypop rom i just flash that firmware which that rom is built upon and i am good to go? and then if i want to come back to nougat rom i just flash specific firmware and i'm good to go? (i know i am totally confused in this system, but i think i got it right now?). please confirm if all i said about firmwares is right or wrong so i can understand :fingers-crossed:
thanks
It sounds like the issue is that you are using PA. Their source is usually not CM/LOS based. I don't know about the newest versions though or if NetHunter has a PA compatible version.

TWRP 3.2.1-0 not working

Hi Folks...
Got me an Samsumg Galaxy S3 GT-I9305.
I tried to install RR, so first step obviously was getting TWRP 3.2.1-0-i9305.img.tar.
Downloaded over at https://dl.twrp.me/i9305 the said version.
Installed with Odin V3 and everything came up clear but when i tried to boot into recovery i got stuck in Bootlogo
Playing around for a while i decided to install TWRP 3.0.2-1 which worked fine on first try.
Tried to flash the 3.2.1-0-i9305.img via TWRP gave me the error message "File is too big".
Can anyone confirm?
That version is too big for the recovery partition on our device.. Need someone to compress it to make it smaller to fit the partition size of the device.
I have the same problem with the last version TWRP 3.2.1.0.
When I push this one with Odin 3.12, all is sucess but when i reboot the device in custom recovery, it can't, it is stuck
S3 GT-I9305 Specific?

TWRP 3.2.1-0 works great on my S3 i9300, flashed from the external SD card so could you please edit your thread title and add: S3 GT-I9305?
Thanks!

3.0.2-1 works fine, https://dl.twrp.me/i9305/twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305.img.html
Working 3.2.1-0 credit goes to @Option58 the one who compress it. Thank him. Enjoy guys.

Official TWRP 3.2.1-0 for i9305 Problem Reported to TeamWin TWRP
@Lexington67 @public3n3my @GouLt @mouth
I reported the problem to the TeamWin TWRP so other S3 i9305 users don't waste their time with this version:
Hello, several XDA i9305 users report here
that version TWRP 3.2.1-0 returns error: "File is too big".

And they promptly replied:
Thanks for the report. I have removed it from the download section of twrp.me and disabled future builds until someone can fix the issue.

Awesome support from a non-profit open source community project IMO.
***
I'm working on my own TWRP device tree, based on official LineageOS repos, with the intention of getting official support for version 3.2.1-0. I'll create my own thread when my build is ready. According to TWRP's official page for the i9305, there is no current official maintainer.
Edit: I compiled a 3.2.1-0 build and created a separate thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3741413
