The phone that never dies, gets a new Android version yet again.

Samsung only gave it Android 4. Lineage gives it Android 11. A whopping amount of 7 newer versions than the last official one it came with. This time I can present a usable build almost 3 months earlier than what was the case with Lineage 17.1.
All major functions should be working, but keep in mind that there's probably some features not yet ported over to Lineage 18.1.

For root, use Magisk (untested on R): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

If you are doing backups of 18.1 with TWRP, and wants to restore one of these backups,
you need to flash this right after restoring, or otherwise the boot will hang: http://www.mediafire.com/file/a454nnpp8l7afbr/fix_rootfs_label.zip/file (Needed only for older TWRP, and not for the one linked to below)

What's written on the label under the battery?
That should be correct no matter what anything else says.

@Odin<3 To clarify the situation, you may run "adb shell" in both recovery and normal mode (the latter will require activation of developer options), then `get prop | grep serrano`. If in TWRP `serranolte` and `serranoltexx` show up, you've got the right recovery - if not, get it replaced with the right one *if and only if the device tag confirms the I9195*
Did you ever flash (with Odin) more than the recovery?

Odin<3 check your phone again just to be sure : Go to the Settings or Options menu, scroll to the bottom of the list, and check 'About phone', 'About device' or similar. The device name and model number should be listed.

Will try to run adb shell next week. I flashed about 15 devices successfully. Thanks for advice.
