i plan on only using wifi with the device, i dont need sim or camera.
(FOR NOW)So, you ultimately have just installed LOS 14.1 ( ' select Lineage14.1 Zip > Swipe ' ) as opposed to LOS 17.1??Great News
I installed LOS 17.1 [lineage-17.1-20210320-UNOFFICIAL-lt03lte] on the P605 (Hong Kong). and theres no boot loop
1. I initially had the Hong Kong Variant of the Device [SM-P605_BRI_P605ZSSCQC1] which was locked at a max android version of 4.4.2 which is a problem as 5.1.1. is the minimum requirement, so i flashed the UK variant of the P605 [P605XXU1EQD1_P605BTUEQA1_P605XXU1EQB2_HOME.tar.md5] (obtained from Frija) using Odin 3.14.4
after this the device auto rebooted, i think due to a checkbox in odin, idk, and started "optimizing apps" (a samsung or android thing). i used adb reboot download to go into the download menu while this was happening, as i didnt want anything to be "set" by this optimization
2. I flashed TWRP 3.4.0. [twrp-3.4.0-0-lt03lte_20200913] from this XDA thread using Odin 3.14.4
3. i used adb reboot recovery to go into the recovery menu and i did the following
Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select data, system, ART/Dalvik Cache, Cache, Internal Storage > Swipe
4. i moved the LOS zip into the device and in the recovery menu i did the following
Install > select Lineage14.1 Zip > Swipe
5. i moved the GAPPs zip into the device and in the recovery menu i did the following
Install > select Gapps [open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20210918] obtained from here, i used ARM, android 10.0, Nano
6. i then rebooted and experienced NO boot loop, i went through the initial device setup without connecting to the internet to avoid that google setup loop that was mentioned.
7. i proceeded to install a SuperUser app, i like Magisk so i installed that.
i went into the recovery menu and installed magisk [magisk-latest-canary.apk.zip] this is an old installation image that i used for a previous device, but im guessing its the same one on the github repo.
8. after a reboot the magisk app was incomplete and tapping on it prompted to download the latest updated APK, so i connected to the internet now for the first time and updated magisk.
i hope this experience that i shared may be of use,
Omg my bad. Thank you for noticing.
Ok kewl. I'm stuck on the boot loop at the moment trying to find a way forward....
What was the stock csc region that your device had? Maybe that's a deciding factor? I was in Hong Kong and switched to UK.
I'm using the latest version of TWRP (3.5.1) found here.
Ok, So I figured out what I needed to do to make it work.
Thank you for your sharing, you helped me as I have the same situationGreat News

i installed gapps soon after installing LOS, i added them as a queue on twrp. ill mention that in my post.
It's in the latest stock.
what do u mean by "last stock" ?
forum.xda-developers.com
Thus tablet is P605. Look for Android 5 (latest available) stock images for it and flash via Odinwhat do u mean by "last stock" ?
The last lineage rom? I cant find anything "selectable" (in the unpacked tar downloaded file) within the odin menu to flash the bootloader
EDIT:
here ?
[ROM] Stock 5.1.1. AND 5.0.2 Firmware ODIN tar.md5 Images (SM-920T)
These are the stock ODIN images that can be used to return your device to 5.1.1 or 5.0.2 stock. I have found that many sites are charging to download this, and it's super slow, so i'll try to keep an active mirror. Use this if you've soft...
It's a rather large file, so keep it around in case you need to reflash to start over
@sminatore and try to get the multiple part stock ROM using samfirm_reborn (checking "binary nature") which might be more useful if, for some reason, you've gotta flash stock again.It's a rather large file, so keep it around in case you need to reflash to start over
It was time to update
Is there a special reason why you've chosen these?
I've flashed Magisk 23 directly which works and gives root.
