Help Forgotten G800F pattern on Lineage OS - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me my best course of action. About 2019 / 2020 I followed one of the guides to upgrade Android to Lineage OS and just after was offered a more modern Huawei at a reasonable price and hence the S5 Mini ended up at the bottom of a draw. I have recently promised the S5 Mini to a friend but now I'm unable to remember the pattern!
I was thinking perhaps I could reset the phone but I have no idea where the original "Android" backup could be and I don't have a clue which particular method I used to install the Lineage OS or if that makes any difference.
Any advice would be appreciated

Android 7.0 ROM For Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715)

Hi
I have recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715) and rooted it. Few days back android 7.0 has released and I want to upgrade my tablet to android 7.0. It is not possible to upgrade from "About Device" menu as it gives error:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software update using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center.

Last year same thing happened with my Nexus 7 and then I downloaded the rom and manually upgraded it. Now I want to do the same thing for my Samsung tablet but I am unable to find the rom.
Kindly guide me that from where I can download android 7.0 rom for my tablet?
Regards
Lol, you will probably never see android 7 on your device...
It's only available for nexus and the Pixel c for the moment.
And samsung will release it just for a few models.
Galaxy tab s2 may not be one of these

Its a bad news
Is there any general version of which can be downloaded and installed? like in linux kernels we have a "vanila" version which is originally released without any patches etc.
That's not true. As SamMobile published some times ago, our sm t-715 it's likely to be updated to the latest android version 7.0. Same as the other variants. There are no official informations though, but we will see in the future what happens. Personally by one side i think that our tab has the right specs to be updated, on the other side i'm afraid about two things:
1) Samsung could be lazy and forget a relatively new and high spec device to be updated
2) Developement community isn't very populated and every version of Android Nougat that will be out unofficially (if one there will ever be) will broken fingerprint support and Mobile network on LTE variants.
P.s i'm very sorry, i wish to link you to the article i saw on internet but i cannot fin it, very sorry.

Realistically, I think we will all be waiting somewhere between 6 months to 1 year, IF this tablet gets Android 7 at all.
If not, its a case of waiting for a custom rom.
If you wanted instant updates, you should have bought the Pixel C, (as the Nexus 9 is rubbish.)
tab s1 has just got android 6 so maybe there is hope for s2 and 7
I have two questions:
1. Are custom roms safe?
2. If you find any custom rom, will you post link here?
Thanks

No, never use a custom rom. All veterans here on XDA know only the North Koreans publish custom roms in hopes of tricking a newbie to download it so they can hack your computer.
If you have a friend that is using a custom rom on their phone please block there phone number if it is not too late, as a phone call from them will affect your phone as well.

[ALE-L21] Android 6.0 Official Update?

Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.

What is the state of root for SM-N9600 on Android Pie?

Hello. I used to install custom roms like crazy back in the Galaxy S3 days... but haven't done any rooting since.
However, I now got the Note 9 and specifically got a model that I thought was root/TWRP friendly. But now that I'm looking though this forum, I'm not sure what's what.
I found "[Recovery][Unofficial] TWRP for Galaxy Note9 (Snapdragon) N9600]" from September but OP still says "MTP and ADB does not work right now. (Working on a fix)"
I've read various things that Android Pie root isn't sorted out yet? I'm not sure what's outdated and what's current.
Can someone please point me to a guide for rooting a Note 9 SM-N9600 with Android 9 on it? It would be much appreciated.
