So..
My note's battery is pretty bad now, if I use a drawing software it will sometimes go from like 50% to 15% in minutes and then immediately after to 5%. I am almost 100% sure it is due a battery replacement but, since I always wanted to try rooting it I thought to do this as well anyway and see if it gets better.
(I've rooted my galaxy s4 a few times in the past but it was really long ago, so I somewhat understand what needs to be done but just need confirmation lol).
I plan to insteall Lineage OS 14.1 on it.
Question: it says that to do so you need to have a lollipop bootloader. Then it says "If the last Samsung ROM you had was 5.1 Touchwiz, you already have lollipop bootloader and don't need to follow these steps.".
I am on 5.1.1 as this never received any further update. On Droid Info it says: Bootloader P600UEUDQF1. OS version Lollipop MR1 (5.1.1).
So, I don't need to follow that step, right? I know, it's the dumbest question ever but I am not sure about it still.
Secondly... someone just please kindly confirm these are the correct steps:
1- (if needed) do the bootloader thing
2- install twrp. On the guide it says it must be ShevT's from here:
As far as I understood from the guide, rom already has root so I don't need that
3- factory reset from twrp
4- flash rom from twrp
5- flash gapps from twrp
Done?
Am I missing something?
Thank you a lot for taking time to confirm this
