[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqua14:
Tried lineage-14.1-20170305-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip on a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010 (16GB), but after reboot, i am stuck in a never ending "boot logo" (?) (blue circle repeatedly shifting from right to left on a blue bow, nothing else), tried it twice, waited twice for more than 15mins, nothing changed (nevertheless, I could successfully install cm-13.0-20160831-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip).

Has anybody sucessfully installed 14.1 on a GT-N8010 ?

Further info: I have an additional 64GB-SD-card where I stored the aforementioned lineage file as well as open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170418.zip and open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20170418.zip.

Tried all installations (also cm-13) using twrp-2.8.6.0-gt-n8010.

Any comments appreciated, even more so if they help getting 14.1 installed.

Additional observation while again trying to install lineage-14.1-20170305-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip:

* Meanwhile I found that lirokoa recomended the TWRP version mentioned in the CM13 thread, i.e. twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013 (instead of 2.8.6.0 in my first try) and managed to install it on my Galaxy GT-N8010, but after all, this made no difference.

* However, while carefully watching the flash log I found that the "target" was logged to be "samsung/p4noterfxx/p4noterf: 4.4.2/....", and not "samsung/p4notewifi...." as I rather would expect for a GT-N8010. :confused:

Hence my question: can it be that (a) either during the paketing of lineage-14.1-20170305-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 something went wrong, or that (b) my tablet pretends to be a different one (namely GT-N8000)? I suspect this confusion could be the reason of the aforementioned boot trouble.

At least I am sure of this fact: I haven't got a tablet with phone function, its the version only having the wifi function, and in the system info provided by JellyBean as well as KitKat I could read its the GT-N8010.

Any constructive hints or suggestions appreciated

Additional observation:

* Both lineage-14.1-20170305-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip and lineage-14.1-20170116-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip don't work on my GT-N8010 (reboot after flashing leads to a boot loop) , whereas cm-14.1-20161208-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip did work (not everything tested yet, but wifi, installing apps (another keyboard, file manager, ...) worked ok.

Eventually ...

I guessed just from the beginning, that the right path might again be hidden in all the tidbits given in the discussion around the lineage 14.1 thread (hxxps://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-nougat-t3505239)

... and indeed! It took me a while to crawl through all comments, questions, answers, and unfortunately also complaints, the latter in some parts being expressed even in close-to-nasty manners. Being a developer as well (DB area) I as well appreciate constructive criticism and prefer it to demotivating complaint. However, some of the participants obviously never have learnt making an effort to keep the difference between both, maybe they are even unlucky enough not to perceive hours and hours of voluntary work of their contemporaries as a gift. Hey guys! Behave!

Whatsoever. I finally made the way through the texts and even managed to install the latest version (lineage-14.1-20170305-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip) and ... beneath my sincere thanks going to lirokoa (taking a bow 4 u), I'd like to greet and thank all the testers *and* contributors of helpful hints (regarding the installation of the ROM itself as well a manifold of aspects to special apps), also including especially those who took their time to precisely & factually describe which procedure did fail (!), which -in sum- made my day start successfully now!

For all those still struggling: keep trying!

After all this reading I restarted a new try and had my breakthough ~after having read the following comments in the aforementioned thread: #352/p.36, #364+#365/p.37 and some others of similar content, hence thanks also to alessandro_xda, hektor2hektor2, CDiazF04, but also all the others who keep the discussion vivid and interesting, and a special smile to miz_pimp for having increased the level of friendliness throughout the course ;).

And yes, I agree that many contributors are right in suggesting to include the one or other hint to the post #2 of liroka.

I guess it's presumably just lack of time on his side that this has not yet happened. On the other hand... :-> if I could walk through all the interesing discussion in one evening and draw my conclusions in order to get a free ride to another "new life" of my ol' N8010, ... I am quite positive that others can do so as well.

Continuously following the discussion...
