Hello,
I have searched this and other forums for a fully working ROM for the SM-N900V with either Nougat or Oreo. I have tried them all; RR Oreo, Lineage 14.1 and Lineage 15.1. They all seem awesome, but none of them are fully functional. EIther you can't get network or Google Play services working properly, in spite of the myriad fixes posted. Does anyone know of a working ROM I can download to my SM-N900V? Thank you in advance.
I can't even get 14.1 to install on mine. I've unlocked the bootloader and everything. It just gets stuck on an eternal install loop.

Was running the unofficial lineage 14.1 rom, was getting frustrated with all the gps problems so I decided to try fulmics. Well cell service didn't work on fulmics, so I wanted to switch back and tough out the gps problems until lineage team got things fixed. Recovery seems to be working fine, but any rom I try to install simply endless reboots before every getting to the initial set up. I am at a loss, I am thinking I didn't have the new lg bootloader as I was told to have before trying to install fulmics. How the hell can I fix my phone? I always thought as long as recovery worked I would be fine, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone help before I have to go out and buy a new phone tomorrow?

PMd you.
I found a fix, I completely wiped everything and first flashed just the stock 7.0 lg bootloader, now everything is working fine. Thanks for the message though!

No problem ?
Same Problem
I have the exact same problem. I flashed the LineageOS ROM, then flashed Fulmics ROM, then tried to go back to Lineage—and now every ROM just reboots endlessly, but I can boot into recovery and access TWRP just fine.
It looks like jamesvmccann found a fix, by "completely wiped everything and [then] flash[ing] just the stock 7.0 lg bootloader." I'm afraid I don't know where to download the stock 7.0 lg bootloader. This is a h830, so that may matter as well.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Managed to fix this problem myself
The stock h830 bootloader was linked in this forum post.
I booted into TWRP and flashed the stock bootloader. It has a different bootflash.
H850 keeps booting into Recovery
Hello everyone, I have a H850 and my phone does not want to boot into the OS. It keeps booting into Recovery mode. I tried flashing only the H850 bootloader and then installing a ROM, and it doesn't work. I've formatted everything except the SD card and still no joy. What else can I do to restore my H850?
Please Help!

Hello guys,
as the title says I am currently with the mobile data connection not being established on custom ROMs, the official MIUI ROM works fine. Before trying to go to LineageOS 14.1 I ran this 13.1 ROM for quite some time successfully.
This is what I did since trying to migrate to Andoid 7.1:
I flashed the latest MIUI Global Dev ROM, this locked my bootloader again, so I tried this for installing TWRP and custom ROMs with locked bootloader and this for unlocking the bootloader unofficially. Both methods generally worked, but mobile data did work on neither of them (I checked for the correct APN).
So I tried to go back to the LineageOS 13 ROM (clean flash, since I accidentally deleted my backup) I used before, but it also does not work on that version anymore.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be or how I could possibly find out what causes this?
Edit: I am now actually back to the latest MIUI Global Dev and hoping that I am able to unlock the bootloader officially eventually. But any tips on the issue above would still be appreciated.
Edit 2: On the 8.0 NitrogenOS mobile data does work. I first thought that it yet had to be an APN problem, so I copied the settings from this ROM to the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and deleted all other APNs, but that actually did nothing, it still did not work. So I guess I will stay on 8.0 for now, although I wanted 7.1 because of XPosed.
Edit 3: Suddenly stopped working on Android 8. Seems to work on the first boot after flashing a Android 8 ROM and then not anymore. Going back to MIUI...
This post helped me with the issue. After a soft reboot mobile data just works fine even after enabling/disabling airplane mode.

Did you find a persistent method to solve the problem?
I have the same problem but Mobile Data only works after first boot and first soft reboot - than never ever.
BTW it works on MIUI ROMS without any problem.

I did just recently find a persistent method. Read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70887635&postcount=9
Newbie to flashing - to my surprise successful first attempt recently with Oreo - lineage-15.1-20200313-UNOFFICIAL-flounder - worked quite well and much perkier than before. Then realised none of my six screen recorders would work, so decided to try downgrading to Nougat - lineage-14.1-20200217-UNOFFICIAL-flounder - but got stuck on the Google screen on first boot.
So tried a few other Nougat ROMs: Slim-flounder, aokp_flounder, purenexus_flounder, Fire-Hound and FIRE-ICE - all getting stuck on Google. I must be doing something wrong. Reflashed Oreo, without problem!
Used the same procedure for all Nougat and Oreo ROMs: twrp-3.3.1-0-flounder to wipe everything, installing the ROM, open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20200325 and SuperSU-v2.82-SR5. (For Oreo I instead used open_gapps-arm64-8.1-pico-20200325). What am I doing wrong?
Install stock Nougat firmware or install stock Nougat vendor. After that, install the firmware you want.
Thank you, will do!
Need more help pls! Downloaded the factory rom - "wrong zip version" when trying to install. Downloaded vendor and bootloader img-files. How install?
Figured it out! Thanks Vartom! Remains to be seen if I can get any screen recorder app to work.
Installed lineage-14.1-20200217-UNOFFICIAL-flounder and tested my usual screen recorders. Mobizen did not work, but all others did: Recordable, SCR, DU Recorder and AZ screen recorder. Am very happy with that and with my "flounder" being much perkier than with Marshmallow.
So, I install lineage os every one's and a while to test it and see if it is ok for me, I always revert to stock but that's not the point, one problem that I have is that the phone gets VERY HOT. One day I installed lineage and when I finished the setup process, the phone was so hot I couldn't hold it comfortably, while when I finish the setup on the stock rom the phone is just warm. Is there any way to make the phone run cooler? Is the phone getting hot because the software is too much for the processor? . I haven't installed lineage os for about two months now so I may try it again at some point. Is anyone else having the same problem?
No that's not normal, it's not supposed to heat up much.
Maybe you you didnt flash it properly, it's recommended to install it like this.
forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/rom-unofficial-lineageos-17-1-g5-t4039807/post81972297#post81972297
Also check before flashing if your camera works on the stock lg rom,
If it doesnt you have to downgrade to stock marshmellow, and then upgrade back to oreo to fix it.

Thanks for answering,
This is how I install it. The camera on stock oreo is working normally so I don't need to install stock Marshmallow. So, I firstly unlock the bootloader and then install lineage os 15.1 with no gapps. After that I upgrade to lineage os 16.1 again with no gapps. Now I uninstall lineage 16.1 and I am doing a clean install of official lineage os 17.1 WITH gapps. The reason I do this is because if I install lineage 17.1 instantly the cameras and sensors don't work. Unfortunately I don't remember the temperatures that I got but I remember that one day I woke up with 20 C and after 15 minutes of some web browsing and social media it went up to 40 C (there's a slight chance that I'm wrong since I don't remember the exact temperatures as I said)
Strange i didn't have those problems when flashing properly,
Do you also use nano/pico opengapps?
You could also give crDroid Android 5.12, a try maybe that will work well, but it's android 9 instead of 10.
I think you need to flash it in the same way as lineage.

I originally used nano opengapps but I started using stock because I use most of the gapps anyway but I will try crdroid 5.12 at some point to see what happens.
Build in the works. Going to release the BETA as soon as I can do testing on my own device before release.
IMO this is a necessity as there are literally no good roms for this right now. I tried the port of the Nexus stock CR rom and it was not great. Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

As a follow up to my original post I wanted to mention that for anyone who wants a new ROM on their SM-T290 until this is finished development, use the Nexus Rom by Magendanz. I was able to do a fresh stock firmware install and retry the rom and my opinion has changed. I have noticed that these Tab A 8.0 tablets have been used a lot for like Uber/Door Dash and other POS terminals. I am pretty sure a lot of them have modified or customized firmware for these reasons and when I mine second hand it was from a pizza store. I think that messed up the upgrade.
Overall Magendanz did a great job, when you install it properly. I have zero issues with functionality now, TWRP recovery set up, as well as Magisk installed and everything is running extremely well.
As far as instruction on how to install. Take a look at some of the comments further down on the Nexus thread. That is what I did this time around and it worked perfectly. Last thing I did was copy Magisk.Apk to my SD, change extension from .APK to .ZIP, then boot into TWRP and install that ZIP.
Going to update progression on a monthly basis as far as the LineageOS 18.0 build

Do you have a github with your source code and manifest? I just got this tablet (used) yesterday and I would like to see if I can help. I have built LineageOS roms for a number of older Samsung Tab A devices, but will have to do some research on the "new to me" T290. Thanks.
Just got this tablet, how's the beta coming along? And what can I do to help?
Thank you my guy I had lost all hope for custom roms on this tablet. It's quite relieving to know that I'm not alone.
Also, has anyone experienced severe lag on one ui 3 while doing basic tasks? The thing literally gets 5 fps while watching youtube and surfing the web but it plays 3d games at 20 fps on low settings. wtf

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!

Good advice But which of Andy's GSIs did you use exactly ?
Thanks so much dude
The GSI is a .img.xz will it work or does it need to be .gsi

You download the .img.xz file and unzip it.
Inside this will be the .img file
This is what you need to flash (.img)

Use this one
lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS.img.xz
It has Gapps built in as well as super user through SSH, dont install Magisk as it will error that there is already SU tool installed.
@SniperFox22 , did you make a github for the code or didn't even start since you are happy with GSI?

My OS didn't have an option to unzip it at first glance. I haven't been able to install gapps so I'm gonna try that gsi. Also, am I supposed to wipe internal storage before flashing or not?
I got it working but games just crash which is worse than before
Came across this while trying to root my sm-t290. Just want to add that Andy Yan has upgraded to a 19.1 version that appears to work just fine. Flashed to system partition using twrp after I had flashed the Nexus rom. Wifi works, sound works, sd card, bluetooth keyboard works just fine.

Link to it???
I like the link above because it has all the versions but lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img.xz is the one that I used. The page has the naming convention. Ill mention that even though it says that it's supposed to be rooted, I couldn't get it to work right. The nexus rom had an option in the 'phh treble' menu to activate root and this lineage image should also but the option wasn't there. It kept saying the supersu binary was busy but that was after I flashed a supersu.zip(it may have worked before then i don't know). I played with it a little bit but ended up just flashing back to the Nexus rom.
Hey guys!
Installed "lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img"
Everything starts up, but something is weird with my installation and my storage, it freezes when i go into storage and i cant download anything without apps start to crash.
Im not sure if i flashed it correctly, i did a wipe in TWRP before installation.
Really hope i can get this to work since it waaaaay faster then the bloat samsung ships
Edit:
Tried flashing another rom (nexus) and had the same issue!
trying to reflash and wipe everything except internal storage.
Where should i flash image? i get: "select partition to flash image", never seen that before (might be because you flash img and not zip)
