Hello. I am completely new to modding and installing premade OS to older tablets/phones. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 - SM-T537A. It has a very old Android OS on it and I can't update it due to not having AT&T anymore. I have seen people talking about LineageOS. Is it possible for someone to explain to me how I would go about using that on my tablet? Is that tablet even compatible with LineageOS? Please keep in mind, I am totally new to this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I am looking to root my galaxy s5 from boost mobile (sm-g900p.04) running android 5.0.
Build number: LRX21T.G900PVPU3BOG1
I have not rooted a phone since like 2011 so I am way behind the times.
I can follow instructions, I just seem to find tutorials that cover other build numbers, and I would prefer to not mess up my phone. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

So a few days ago I bought a new Galaxy Tab A. It's the 8 inch model (not sure how many sizes are in the Tab A series). More specifically, the model is SM-T350.
Which tablet is this exactly? A3, A5, A7, etc, etc? How can I tell?
Im very familiar with rooting my Galaxy phones, but getting info to root this tablet is a bit confusing for me. Is there a root method that works for all Tab A tablets, or do I need to find one for my specific model?
Thanks fellas
This is the forum for the A series phones, your tablet is a completely different device.
I rooted and built TWRP, along with a couple of custom roms for the Tab A a while ago.

I just been given a Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536, think it may be Korean model. My question is what roms are compatible?
when i boot to recovery it shows samsung/matisse10wifikx/matisse10wifikx6.0.1/MMB29K/T536KXu1AQF1
how do you root?
It also came with a knox profile but it loads korean software. I want to disable or remove Knox.
This is my first samsung device, I have installed roms on my other devices but a noob with samsung and dont want to brick it.
any links you recommend for noob ?
Hello, I am a person with Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536 living in Korea.
The Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T536 is a Korean model. The tablet has no custom ROM developed. Security updates from Samsung
Even though it's 2022, it continues to do so, but the Android version doesn't update it. So, when I tried to install a custom ROM, I found that the model does not have a custom ROM that can be installed, and even if there is, there is no TWRP Recovery required to install it.
So it must be considered impossible.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't use custom ROMs from SM-T536 and similar SM-T530.
SM-T530 and SM-T536 may be bricks due to different hardware
Does anyone know if it would be possible to run android as guest OS (like usermode linux but in android form) on the Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Snapdragon) G975U1?
since rooting is impossible, I thought a psudo-root having a guest OS running which is rooted would be a good alternative. I know the original OS would be running and the guest OS would also, this would affect performance, but I would be able to use the software in the guest OS as if it were a real rooted phone. Has anyone ever tried this? Would root be required initially to even set this up? Would an emulator work instead?
I would just buy a rootable phone but I am broke, always poor, unsure of when I might eat.
I received the Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Snapdragon) G975U1 as a gift. Technologically I know this is "Old" but it is very new compared to my rooted Galaxy S5 with LineageOS that it replaces.
Hello,
I am new in this community. I have a Samsung grand prime sm-g531h. I recently rooted the device successfully. Now I wanted to know that is it possible to upgrade my android version to 9 or 8? How will I do that? Is there any problem if I do so?
I don't have experience in this matter. Please help me!

Looks like you've already been on a quest for compatible ROMs by posting "works on SM G531H?" in several threads last year (try to avoid multi-posting). No luck so far? Judging by the very limited search I've done it doesn't look very good for your device, does it? I've also noticed that this device still has a button on the chin! Maybe it's time for a chinbuttonless upgrade? Not discouraging the quest for upgrading old devices though! Definitely applauding that but sometimes it's just a dead end. I hope someone else can provide better news.
