I did not have enough opportunity to read the special literature in PDF. Speaking about readers, this is an insufficient page size and black and white text (code examples must be in color). On the desktop - also not an option. It is clear that the material is much better absorbed lying on the couch. Need a tablet with the largest screen.
 

 
I have long licked at the top Samsung Note Pro - a welcome 12 inches and a stylus bonus. I checked the flea market - quite zaperorogo, if compared with the initial price. Why? Well, in some cases, the battery no longer holds a charge (the new one from China is $ 25). But for the most part because the update of the official firmware stopped a couple of years ago on version 5.0.? and it is terribly slow. It is clear that the device is obsolete, and it is necessary at least somehow to someone to shove in the absence of demand.
 
And here not! After a simple recovery procedure, the patient is alive and well. And everything flies. I want to share my experience, because the instructions on 4PDA and XDA-Developers are fragmented and took my day off from me.
 
 
Dug up the comp with Windows.
 
Delivered Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows.
 
Disconnected Samsung Kies and antivirus.
 
Has put the utility Odin???.
 
Downloaded the TWRP firmware for v1awifi (SM-P900) / v1a3gxx (SM-901) / viennaltexx (SM-905).
 
I downloaded the LineageOS firmware (choose the same from the model, I have V1awifi ) And placed it on an external SD-drive in the tablet.
 
I downloaded the firmware OpenGApps (platform ARM, Android 7.1) and also placed it on an external SD-media in the tablet.
 
Opened the utility Odin3 "as an administrator", clicked the PDA button and selected the firmware file TWRP, turned off the checkmark for "Auto Reboot" and left ticked "F. Reset Time".
 
Connect the tablet with the regular USB3 Micro-B cable.
 
Turned on the power of the tablet with the volume-minus button pressed until the Samsung Note Pro screen saver appeared; further responded to the request with the volume-plus button, that I want to switch to the "Downloading " mode.
 
I pressed the Start button in the Odin3 utility, the firmware was executed in a couple of seconds.
 
Holding the volume-plus button with the power button on the tablet, waited until the tablet turned off and turned on again; released the buttons only after the appearance of the Samsung Note Pro screensaver - thus the TWRP application is loaded.
 
Inside, TWRP changed the language to Russian and executed a couple of backups on an external SD-medium
 
Inside, TWRP performed a full cleaning of the tablet and performed a recovery from the backup, as in that anecdote falling from the skyscraper of the peasant: - While everything is going fine.
 
Inside TWRP tried to install the firmware LineageOS - bummer. You need to update the bootloader through Odin? instruction here .
 
Inside, TWRP returned to the installation of LineageOS firmware - and is installed and updated (data and settings are preserved, checked).
 
Inside, TWRP supplied the OpenGApps firmware - I got access to the Google Play Market.
 
 
Gone grief, LineageOS does not see 13 channel on WiFi - switched settings in the router.
 
For some reason, Youtube does not allow switching the resolution above FHD, although on board QHD.
 
Please advise the PDF reader. I went through a lot, but I have not found the perfect one yet.
 
PS
And navigation in my Hundaye - Tesla rests. How is it with you, Ilon Mask?
