galaxy note 8 n950f - update - question

Hi,
some months ago I heard that my note 8 will not support twrp or/and odin anymore if I install a update. Is that true or is this only for specific devices?
I need a answer because I'm about to press the Download&Install button : P I'm getting spammed with this update notification and I can't prevent it from getting displayed every 2hours.
No, I don't want to root it or install custom rom... not for now, maybe in the feature when I have like 1 1/2 Year warranty left ^^
Yeah, that's why there's a "Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News & Discussion" section !

Any opinion?: firmware choice: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810

Any opinion?: firmware choice: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810 [moved from Android General Q&A]
I'm looking for best bets for choosing a good firmware update for this older SM-T810 tablet that I still like. It is Wifi-only.
The tablet recently got very flaky on Android 5 so I let it install an auto-downloaded image for Android 6. The new image probably came from Samsung since I was told at purchase that device had official Samsung firmware for Android 5.1.1. (see ABOUT DEVICE below)
Things got worse using the new Android 6 image, so bad that I'm ready to install new firmware by sideloading.
1. Since the device was rooted by prior owner (see: DEVICE HISTORY below for details) I am guessing I have little to gain by sticking with an official Samsung image--unless nothing else works. Does that sound right? And, does anything prevent me from going the non-Samsung route?
2. If it makes sense at this point to try a non-Samsung image, my question for folks here boils down to this: where am I likely to have the best luck finding a build that will work well on the device? For example, I wonder
who are the most experienced makers of firmware for this older tablet?
and which version of Android--7 or 8? Should I avoid 8 or go for it?
(I've seen an unofficial Lineage OS build for Android 8. I believe that Android 7 builds exist, too.)
Thanks for any suggestions.

MORE:
(I've waited so long to update because a) I seldom use the tablet and b) seller said that he'd had problems with a German Nougat and had reverted to official Android 5.1.1. )

[DEVICE HISTORY, as far as I can say:
I bought in 2017 on swappa.com. Seller told me "What you would get out of the box is the official Samsung OEM firmware for Android 5.1.1 (XAR-T810XXU2BPB1-20160323135521) with the official Samsung recovery. Updates will apply without issue, either by directly loading with Odin or SmartSync, or doing an OTA firmware update....It is running pure stock firmware now. Since it was rooted at one point, the Samsung Knox flag is tripped. It's the only thing that would distinguish this device from a new-in-box tablet."]
Linesgeos 15.1 Oreo is about the best you can get on gts210eifi.

Thanks. I didn't know it had GTS210 gpu.
Notebookcheck.net and Wikipedia show it as ARM Mali-T760 MP6.
Whatever, Lineage OS 15.1 doesn't seem to have any serious competition. Hope it works when I try it--first time jitters!
I got N on mine for a long time. Now I get O 15.1 linesgeos now. It looks like the best for gts210wifi for now.

Hello

I have rooted 3 phones. One was a gts7560m which I bricked because failed to install custom rom, the second a galaxy grand prime which I gave to my sister, and the third a Samsung sm-a530w which I unrooted because swiping to allow modifications caused dm-verity boot failure despite installing mesas custom kernel v1 (please help)

The oldest I've used is Android 4.0 Jellybean and I still use to this day
2.1 on an LG shine plus plus then 2.2 on an HTC desire. About 11-12 years ago now.
HTC Dream 1st Android phone ever
Android 1-1.6
Android 4.0.3 on S3 CDMA
Android 4.1.2 on Galaxy Tab 2 GT P3100
Android 4.4 on Panasonic P55 Novo (still using)
Android version I use on daily basis :
Android 6 on Lenovo Tab 3 10 Plus TB3-X70L
my buddy Cliff posting about that Android goodness on my old site

How does that S4 handle modern apps for you ? I have an Asus Nexus 7 with 5.0 Lollipop/Kali Nethunter and it gets really slow and unbearable latency if I try to update any apps or install new-ish ones. It just doesnt have the RAM or the storage (32 gb). I dont recall how much RAM the S4 had but I remember loving that phone until I backed over it. Never even got a chance to root it or install a ROM. Thats pretty impressive that you managed to install CM7 at age 12. I dont think TWRP was even available yet (?). I was more than twice your age when I successfully flashed my first ROM and there were 3 phone corpses in my trash before I managed to root an LG Volt with Flashify. I put the PacMan Rom on it, wish I still had that phone. Congrats on preserving that Galaxy Y .

Answer for ur questions:
How does that S4 handle modern apps for you ?
I use Facebook, Messenger Lite and tmob app only, but good i guess
I have an Asus Nexus 7 with 5.0 Lollipop/Kali Nethunter and it gets really slow and unbearable latency if I try to update any apps or install new-ish ones. It just doesnt have the RAM or the storage (32 gb).
The 2012 or the 2013 version? I have the 2012 version with CM-14.1 and it can handle the same apps and Minecraft 1.17.41 with 60fps/s
I dont recall how much RAM the S4 had but I remember loving that phone until I backed over it. Never even got a chance to root it or install a ROM.
I tried to install a ROM for the S4 but I bricked it by the unofficial TWRP 3.5 by JDCTeam and I had to restore the stock rom (I tried to install Lineage)
And I dont really recommend installing roms for it..only the official LineageOS 18.1
Thats pretty impressive that you managed to install CM7 at age 12. I dont think TWRP was even available yet (?)
Well I was 12 in 2021 but it was my birthday (october) sooo I'm 13 now lol. TWRP was available for the Galaxy Y (TWRP 2.8.7.0-TWRP 3.0.3)
I was more than twice your age when I successfully flashed my first ROM and there were 3 phone corpses in my trash before I managed to root an LG Volt with Flashify. I put the PacMan Rom on it, wish I still had that phone.
That's nice..but 3 phone corpses?? nevermind..everyone makes a mistake lol
I rooted an LG too (the G3 i guess) because my cousin wanted iPhone emojis on it and complete iPhone theme (still don't know why she cant move on about this )
And for the PAC-Man rom, I love it, but CM is better I guess
Congrats on preserving that Galaxy Y .
Thanks man, I needed the Y.. Good ol' times when it didn't matter what phone did you have

Those wanting to relish in the "good ol 60's" should consider dumping playstore, GMS and putting MicroG instead for performance . One miss out is AFAIK in the latter , Voice typing is missing & cant get that functionality - but def worth a try

很抱歉我之前只用過一鍵刷機我所謂的電腦分區沒概念我想問你是要下載Android SDK還是直接用windows自帶的ADB調試橋就可以了
Is it necessary before flashing root What about my device? I want to experiment first with another old phone of mine Practice how to flash The phone model I am using is HTC Desire 12 Are there any friends in the forum willing to take the time How about teaching me the process of flashing the machine in real time?
