Hi,

I flashed version 14.1-2017016-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 to my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 wifi edition.

I would like to flash an official ROM on it in order to benefit from upgrades.

Looking at the lineageOS download section it seems that there is no N8013 version anymore. Should I take the one called n1awifi ? This is not clear for me.

If so, can I just flash it with twrp and keep all my settings and programs ? Or should I start right from the beginning?

Thank you!

Please be sure (check again, then again) which model you have... and let us know

If it is the Galaxy Note 10.1 (WIFI) n8013 you can download the stock firmware and flash it with ODIN.
NOTE: Pretty old software and no updates lately, in fact it still keeps the 4.1.2 Android Version as official.

But, this forum is for Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) [SM-P600 variants], if you have this model, please check EXACTLY wich model it is... so we can give you a link to downlad the stock firmware or the right custom (lineageOS) ROM for device.

Otherwise we could be giving you wrong advice and you'll end up bricking your device.

Hi,

Thank you for answering me, I was feeling a bit alone :)


On the back of the device I can read Model GT-N8010 wifi 16Gb.

I just ran an Antutu benchmark and the results are:

GT-N8013
Android 7.1.1 (32-bit)
Architecture: ARM Cortex-A9
CPU: Exynos 4412 1433 MHz
Resolution: 1280x800
size: 10.1 pouces
Renderer: Mali-400MP
Material: TFT
Density: 160 dpi
Back Camera: 4.9 mega pixel 2560x1920
Front Camera: 1.9 mega pixel 1392x1392

I hope this info is enough.

I'm currently running LineageOS 14.1.

My initial post has been moved to this forum, so I'm not sure if it's the right one.

I have TWRP as a recovery so I can easily flash a ROM, but which one? I'd be really happy if you could point me to the right one.

Thank you!

Well... between GT-N8013 and GT-N8010 only difference is software... so you can install any. Use lastest ODIN as main way to flash.

Official Firmware:
GT-N8010: http:// rapidgator.net /file/9080b81b75100c8f164859ea386ef5c1 > Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) - Recommended
GT-N8013: http:// rapidgator.net /file/96d70a410efbabe165c620587b8cd5ac > Android 4.1.2 (JellyBean)

Notes:
1. Just erase the blank spaces to get links
2. I recommend GT-N8010 since is a newer Android (KitKat)

After download, flash it with latest ODIN (3.12.3) as known. Try to do a clean install, so the bootloader will update correctly.

If you want/like newer Android versions and custom ROM, lineageOS is the best/most secure option still developing for this model... however, there are some issues since it is in Alpha Status.

There are other ROM projects too... but most seems abandoned, old dated. You can check for example the Gnabo version for GT-n108x.

I have TWRP as a recovery so I can easily flash a ROM, but which one? I'd be really happy if you could point me to the right one.
After flash stock firmware with ODIN, you will lose TWRP, however... you can get it official from here:
https:// dl.twrp.me /p4noterf/twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013.img.html > GT-N8013
https:// dl.twrp.me /p4noterf/twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8010.img.html > GT-N8010

After download, flash it with ODIN, but unclick Auto Reboot in options to flash it, then get in recovery mode before to reboot, it will ask you to swap to allow modifications, so you do. Otherwise it will be override with stock recovery and you must repeat process again.

To get root, simply copy latest SU.zip file to the sdcard and flash it with TWRP.

Once you are root, you can even try to upgrade to TWRP 3.xxx with the TWRP APK from Google Play if you like.

Final Notes:
Don't forget to use ODIN you must have the drivers for your samsung device correctly installed in your PC.
