I'm trying to upgrade to a newer version of android firmware so I can load Octo4a/Octoprint onto my device. Looking at the thread on how to install the LineageOS I hit a wall saying I need to have bootloader I545VRUAMDK. Is there another way to get to a newer OS, or is there a way to change the botloader, or am I SOL all around?

Hey guys.
We got the wife a nice Galaxy S4.
Here are the details:
Model: Sgh-m919v
Android 4.4.2
Device: jltecan
Baseband: M919vvlufne1
I want to install TWRP on it, and maybe a new rom in the future, but I can't find any information about the boot loader being unlocked or not.
I did manage to get it rooted. motochopper failed, but Towelroot worked.
I put rom toolbox on, and went to the rom installer section. It identified the device as jfltecan, and suggests that there is a working recovery and cyanogenmod nightly that are compatible. But without the boot loader question answered, I hesitate to try anything.
All the information I find is for American versions of the device. Does anyone know anything about this version of the Canadian phone?
Is there a version of CM 14.x that will run via Safestrap on a rooted S5 (CID 11)? I have not been able to pull the different pieces together to answer this for myself. I know CID 11 cannot have the bootloader unlocked. I know that there is such a thing as Safestrap though I have not used it. I know about using ODIN to return to an earlier version of Android in order to be able to root. I know that CM had (has) a version of Nougat. I just don't now whether that can all be tied together to allow me to run a ROM based on CM 14.
Can someone please answer what should be a rather simple question? Or point me to the appropriate thread(s)? Thank you.
I don't see much rooting about the i9506, more about ROMs. I am on Android 5.0.1. I'd like to root my phone and move to a newer Android. Can I get some guidance on that? So far I downloaded CF-Root from mobi.firmware. Is that the best way to go?
What version of TWRP should I look for?
Also, regarding ODIN, is it specific to the OS version or can I always just use the latest when changing ROMs?
Hello,
First off: Yes, i know that Live Demo Units have no modem Hardware. It is NOT my Goal to use a SIM Card or Cellular Network, i ONLY want to use a recent custom ROM on this Wifi-only "phone".
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Live Demo Unit and a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Live Demo Unit. I know that the bootloader on those LDUs is somewhat "locked" for upgrading.
So on the Note 4 LDU the Situation seems like so:
The phone came with Android 4.4, but you could upgrade it to Android 5.0. 5.1 and higher do not work.
I could easily Flash TWRP and Flash ROMs, but new Android Version Custom ROMs require recent bootloader versions for Android 6. So i can Flash those ROMs, but the phone won't boot them up or Crash on Lockscreen (from what i've read about the note 4)
I did not try anything til now, the phone is completely stock. The OTA-Update function of the stock ROM doesn't find any updates.
The Bootloader/PDA Version on this Note 4 LDU is: N910XXXU1ANK3_LLK
CSC is "PAP"
So, but now i have much more positive experience with my S5 LDU (SM-G900X):
This phone is running very reliable throughout the recent AOSP-based custom ROMs. I was running Resurection Remix (Nougat) and now i am even running a stable Android 8.1 ROM! But the bootloader seems as old as on the Note 4: G900XXXU0ANH1_LLK. CSC is "ITV"
Interesting Fact: Knox is NOT tripped
I had an A5 (SM-A500X) for a while here and i had exactly the same experience of what i read in the Internet about the note 4:
TWRP flashed flawlessly, this is never a Problem. But i could not install a recent custom ROM, it kept bootlooping as soon as i rebooted. It never saw anything higher than the stock 4.4. So i gave up and the phone away. So i tried to Flash a new bootloader/Stock ROM on this phone and it always failed at flashing "aboot.mbn" and other bootloader stuff because of "security" Problem. Knox was tripped while flashing TWRP. TWRP works fine for flashing, backing up and restoring.
So i don't understand why the Android 6 and higher is not running on the note 4? There was official Android 6 (Bootloader) Updates for both phones i think? Maybe it is possible to help me to modify an existing Android 7/8 ROM to run on this old Version of the bootloader?
And why is the S5 running Android 8 with such an old bootloader without any Problem if it's such a Problem on the "same year" Note 4?
I am sorry for my bad english, i am from Germany.
I would be glad, if someone could help me out. I really like my Note 4 LDU, but with this laggy and slow Stock 4.4, it's not fun to use at all
Is there a way I can update this Samsung Tab S2 VELTE from X819XXU2APL1 to whatever is newest and working with the newest LineageOS?
Currently I've wrecked the current install of android on this tab. If I have to install the stock rom in order to do this, where can I find it?
Thanks.
