Samsung Galaxy Note 3

  • model/codename: SM-N9005

motivations

  • openness: The device fully supports bootloader unlocking, LineageOS, F-Droid and other open efforts.
  • security: Samsung is based in South Korea. There are reports of hardware backdoors in places like China and the USA.

setup: LineageOS, F-Droid, TWRP 2019-08

install TWRP

Reboot the device to fastboot mode by pressing the home, power and volume down buttons at the same time. When this is done, connect the device to a computer and it should be visible:

sudo fastboot devices
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	fastboot

Here, the string "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" represents some other alphanumeric string.

Download TWRP (e.g. twrp-3.3.1-0-hlte.img).

Flash TWRP to the device via fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-hlte.img

Boot the device to TWRP by pressing the home, power and volume up buttons at the same time until the Samsung logo appears, then release the buttons.

install LineageOS

Download LineageOS (e.g. lineage-16.0-20190813-nightly-hlte-signed.zip).

Transfer the LineageOS ZIP file to the device internal storage while TWRP is running. This can be done using ADB:

  • Advanced > ADB Sideload
sudo adb sideload lineage-16.0-20190813-nightly-hlte-signed.zip
  • Install > lineage-16.0-20190813-nightly-hlte-signed.zip > Swipe to confirm Flash

install F-Droid

The setup should now be complete.
