Hello guys,
Wanted you to update on my installation. Thanks for all the hints and advises!
Thanks for the links. I meanwhile flashed several Bootloader and Modem versions. With mixed results.
CPHA: Android (CM14) seemed stuck during boot, maybe problem with that version, maybe I was too impatient (I kept it booting for at least 3 min)
BOH4: Immediate reboots whenever I selected Wifi in the Android setup (tried it at least 3x)
CPE1: No issues
No, it was the same as root. It turned out I needed to reboot my Linux workstation completely (wow, that rarely happens
) in order that the device was recognized in adb. However as I see most tutorials and hints point to Odin, I am just using Odin on Windows in this case now.
So now I successfully installed CM 14 from cm-14.0-20161208-UNOFFICIAL-kccat6xx.zip. FYI I experienced problems with todays OpenGApps Stock (open_gapps-arm-7.0-stock-20161211.zip). During the Android setup right after the "Tap and Go" window, Google Play services crashed every time which led me back to the WiFi selection. It was a loop, it happened always after Tap and Go.
I then tried a new install of CM14 (same zip as above) and GApps mini (open_gapps-arm-7.0-mini-20161211.zip) and got no problems with that.
Trying out CM14 now
Thanks guys!
