Guys im at my wits end here. I dont know much about the phone lingo but I know how to follower directions. I was trying to install lineage OS onto my note 8 but there is just no OEM options in the setting no matter what Ive tried from google. The lunatics posting just change the date bro driving me up the wall it doesnt do anthing. Ive wiped my phone and been at this about 5 hours into the night here trying to get it to work. I cant get odin to flash ANYTHING onto it just bunches of errors. I would really like to get this done as my note8 doesnt work with visible and im hoping a new OS will help seeing as people said with flashes theyve gotten visible to work on it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Alright, Wow a lot has changed here since I got the Note 4!! I no longer use it since I got the A9 from HTC after this one went kaput. Heres the sitch'.....I am super frustrated since the issue I have is a lot like many others ive read all over the internet with just one difference...the USB is not being recognized so I can't use Odin....yes I have tried many different computers, cables etc....the thing was and is still new bout 6 months old before i messed it up so I cant believe that something would or could have easily fried the USB port already. Nothing I have done comes to mind where that could have occurred and could be bad luck getting bad port from the start but unlikely...SO....making it worse is I can boot to stock recovery and the weirdest thing happens when I try to pick any option other than wipe cache or factory reset....it comes up and says dm verity failed, whatever option i chose is disabled!! WTH??? I have been in this awhile so this isnt my first rodeo by far and I have yet to see this.
My question is....HOW can this be fixed...counting out replacing the USB port(that may not be the major cause), I am not sure JTAG will work....most other options all require some sort of PC to Mobile connection to be working and I can't ever get QPST through QXDM to see it( i may be doing it wrong or missing a step....possible since Ive found most instructions to be missing vital information, especially for some of us who may be more green), AND Ive tried creating bootable sd card to use in download mode. The latter option is also very hard to find complete information on process and files needed to properly do so pertaining to this specific variant. The stock recovery i think woukld be the best bet but HOW CAN I ENABLE the options in recovery that are now disable???
I apologize to anyone annoyed if I am asking a question that is often asked.....bear in mind I have another handset I am working on that is completely different that takes up way more time lol, I have searched for weeks on this issue and nothing substantial can be found thanks to to much incomplete information given out AND no one seems to know how to fixed the recovery issue or even had it. Any help will be totally appreciated.....Thanks
so heres the situation, a couple weeks ago my sammy a5 meet a horrible end and ive been without a phone. My buddy gave me his old s7 edge, its got cracked screen and has been sitting inn a drawer(hes rocking a pixel xl instead). so got it home charged it up turn it on and it got this blue sceen says there was a problem updating.
so longer story short got the stock 6.0.1 for bell 935w8 but i only run ubuntu, now while im able to flash smaller tars or img files flashing all stock at once wont work with either heimdall or Jodin3.
thought i could maybe flash twrp and go straight into custom roms i cant flash anything onto the device because of FAP lock in download mode.
Can anyone help me out? i know this would be easier with a windows comp but i dont have one.
can anyone help me
Got a model A846L that wont boot past the alcatel logo, normally I would just toss the phone but it belongs to older friend of the family who lost her husband earlier this year. You can guess im here because we need the pictures from the phone, Yes....
Done tried clearing device cache and connecting via ADB, cant get either to work. Im not a total expert but I am very experienced in flashing ROMs and working with phones.
However this one has me at a lost, looking for advice or maybe something I havent tried or though about trying. Im running win10 but do work with Ubuntu with android software. So no tools are to far fetched.
Thanks.
Hi guys. Hoping for some direction here. Can't be sure on region flashed with. Purchased in U.S. on ebay. I attached an image with what i thought would help some.
Says "T580NZKXMAR" at time of purchase on the image attached below... And i guess this is just a model number, not a actual build. So really no hope here for me. believe I flashed with a ROM from the UK afterwards sometime last year.... or so "I think" it was as I was struggling to find roms for the U.S.A......
So getting to the problem. I followed tech alpha's youtube video for rooting. My goal was to get oreo 8.1.
After a couple of days on root, I was in settings looking at things, and then the display kept flickering with red blocks all over the screen. So my dumb ignorant self, disabled developer options just for sake, and the problem disappeared.
Then it became a little sluggish and then I decided to restart my tablet. Bam! Soon earned myself an FRP right after a restart of tablet .
Not sure where to begin or how to approach resolution of problem. Pretty sure tablet is just a stock build from uk using latest method for root with magisk and twrp on 7.0. I believe it came with marshmellow at time of purchase. I Have a couple of backups from smart switch that state its currently 7.0 through navigation of files.
Think my main problem right now is I'm unable to get Odin to recognize my tablet and all the videos I've watched seem to direct me on this route.. Not sure if this is because I recently formatted my computer or not and that it hasn't been initialized yet?? So hoping for a lot of love and some direction here and a place to at least start this. Afraid i'm going to do something wreck-less if i act too hasty. So wanted to be sure before i made any more mistakes. A big thank you to those wanting to help!

For odin to recognise your device you need the Samsung USB drivers installed first.
Sorry, Should've mentioned. This was done very early after install of Smart Switch. Thx. Please advise on a next step, Sir. Thank you.
I have an Axon 7 128Gb which some years back I flashed to Android 8. It was all a bit hit and miss but it worked fine. Then I upgraded the phone and this has sat in my drawer for a while so I thought I'd try to sell it on eBay.
I tried a factory reset and now I'm stuck.
I think it's called the FRP loop. It wants a Google account which was previously used on the phone but just loops when I give it one.
It isn't recognised when I attach to my computer.
I have searched and I found loads of ideas but nothing yet has fixed it.
The boot screen is unlocked so I can load something from SD card but I really need some help with what to load - a link would do.
Would appreciate it if someone could respond - but please bear in mind I am not experienced at this (but always willing to learn!!)
