Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-N8000

Lineage OS install

Flow was tested on windows (should work with linux and osx as well)

First steps

  1. get heimdall from https://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
  2. verify your device version and download TWRP for GT-N8000 https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote101.html

    Latest version 3.7.0 worked fine for me, use older if not

  3. boot the device with power and volume down (left side on landscape orientation)
  4. once you get the notification about boot loader press volume up when prompted

    I couldn't upload the file with the original cable, I had to buy a third party cable for few bucks from aliexpress and it instantly worked

Install process

move TWRP image to same directory as heimdall and run heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp*.img --no-reboot from the terminal
if you get success with the transfer, boot the device with power and volume up
release the power button once it starts to boot and keep holding volume up, TWRP will appear after the normal samsung galaxy logo

TWRP menu

wipe the device to factory defaults
go back and do advanced wipe for system

get the Lineage OS package
Lineage OS 16.0 - Android 9.0
Lineage OS 18.1 - Android 11

optionally get google services
https://bitgapps.io/

while the device is plugged to your computer move lineage and other packages to the device root

use bitgapps instead of gapps pico or nano because they have a bug and will complain that they wont fit to the device

make sure to install Lineage first and then other apps

reboot and you should be done
