Hi,
Thanks for taking time to create this for the old P600s.
I really need some help, I have the CyanogenMod Version 12-20150223-Unofficial Android 5.0.2, which is very old, I just took this tab out of the junk to see if its still working and its still rocking with 70% battery after a few years.
I forgot how do I update to this version, can someone please point me to right direction ?
TIA,
Dhaval.
1. Update your recovery to lateset TWRP (mine is 3.2.1-0) - use the TWRP manager from playstore OR download from offical TWRP website and flash though recovery.
2. Do a NAND backup of all partitions in recovery to your SD card. Reboot system.
3. Pick a rom to install later. Don't use the one in this thread - it's not ready and hasn't been worked on for some months. I believe Zakooz is still the device maintainer for LOS but is just too busy to work on Oreo. I recommend Zakooz's unofficial Nougat LOS as it's optimised for our cpu and the builds are still automated to keep up to date with offical LOS changes. Find them here:
http://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1/n1awifi/. Download and save the latest on your SD card.
4. Download your prefered Gapps package to your SD card. I typically use OpenGapps mini or nano packages to limit the amount of Google bloatware (you can always add these from the Playstore later if needed). Download from opengapps.org
5. If you're not using the Google backup service backup all your apps and their data using Titanium or similar - This is optional of course if you are happy to reinstall everthing from the Playstore. Also, be aware that restoring apps+data from Android 5 in and Android 6, 7, 8 rom might give problems so a clean install is probably best overall.
6. As you're on Android 5 you'll need to upgrade your bootloader to Lollipop version (mine is P600XXUDPL1 - you can check using Android SystenInfo app from playstore) - if you want to use MM and Nougat ROMs. I don't remember precise instructions so you'll need to search the forum for details.
7. In Recovery:
- wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System. Probabaly best to format the Data partition.
- Install the rom.zip you downloaded.
- install the Gapps.zip package
- Reboot. (first boot of new system always take a good few minutes so be patient)
6. Go through the Set-up Wizard and install or reinstall you apps.
Done
Think I got everything
Cheers
