Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM T113)

Hello, I have a Galaxy Tab 3 (SM T113) and the current operating system is Android 4.4.4. I want to install Android 7.x. On my S2 I was able to install Lineage Android 7.1.2. Could someone here give me a hint how and where to get a newer Android for this tablet. I also hope that I am correct in this area of the forum and not "off topic". About support I would be very grateful. Greetings from Hamburg.Andreas

This isn't off topic since it's located on the Q&A area of the forum.
I'm just helping you out so you will know where to go for some support/guidance. Just keep in mind that this device model does have a dedicated area of the forum and, probably, the best way to obtain member guidance from those who already has this device.
I'm just happy to help you out! :thumbup:

Hello Andreas , there is no higher build then 7.12 for now .

Doubts regarding rooting my out-of-warranty Samsung Galaxy phone

Hi. I own a Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) (SM-A910F/DS) with Android 8.0 (August security patch). It is now out of warranty. I want to root it. I do have prior experience in rooting my secondary Android phone but this phone is my daily driver and hence want some doubts cleared before attempting to root it using Odin. Following are the questions I need answers for:-
I am just going to root my phone to do some small scale customisation. I don't want to flash a custom or stock ROM. Some sources on the internet say that simply rooting the phone won't trip its KNOX flag while others say it will. What is the truth?
If indeed the KNOX flag gets tripped, will I ever be able to use Samsung Pay on my phone again?
If the KNOX flag doesn't trip, will Samsung Pay work on a rooted phone?
The firmware.mobi site hasn't yet updated the SM-A910F's firmware version to that of Android 8.0. My phone had received the Oreo update on 18th October, 2018. Can I still root my phone using whatever latest CF-Auto-Root package I get from there?
How to know if my phone is encrypted? I am confused about this because I haven't manually enabled any kind of encryption on my phone but since there is so much caution regarding rooting an encrypted phone, I don't want to take any chance.
So, these are the 5 questions which I want satisfactory answers for before I root my phone. A good explanation which will ward off my anxiety will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have now posted this thread there as well. The lack of A9 in the list of devices had discouraged me from posting there.

Thanks. But these threads are quite confusing and less appealing to trust.

I understand your frustration but, please remember that developments for devices sometimes take a while before any developments begin to emerge. This is especially true for many Samsung devices too.
Also, the more members who request for a device the better. I can only encourage you to also request for the A9 Series device within the thread from the link that I had provided you with (the last one on my previous post).
Good Luck!

Yes, rooting your phone with CF / TWRP will trip Knox and disable Samsung Pay. Google Pay however will work on a device that has been returned to stock, but not one that has active root. Since it's looking for root as opposed to a Knox bit, this can probably be masked pretty easily if you wanted to use it on a rooted device.
Looking on firmware.mobi, I see 3 releases already for CF on Android 8.0 for your phone.
And your phone most definitely is encrypted. Any Samsung with Android 7.0 from the factory is encrypted. The exception is devices that were running Android 6 or lower that have been upgraded to 7+ and weren't encrypted by the user beforehand.

I don't have this device but, I did locate the following thread post by a member who provided a link to download the Stock Firmware that's specific to your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=70563372
I checked the link to download it and it's still good and there's other guidance within that thread that should also be helpful for you. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within it if needed.
This is about the best I can help you with.

I don't have this myself and it does look like the Stock Firmware and even a thread is a challenge to locate for this device.
However, I did locate something that may just be what you're looking for...
The following thread...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3565273
... has a member who had posted the following link to the Stock Firmware that is supposed to be for this device...
https://mega.nz/#!U1RR0byB!802H2MIqeUIT4svb8n4rTcvir89lYA9IfnlabGPnds0
... and I had checked it out and it looks like it's still a good link too.
No guarantees but, at least it's a good start for what you are looking for.
You may also be able to obtain some member guidance within that thread as well.
Good Luck!

Need help finding stock firmware G930V VRU4CRE5 Oreo 8.0

I rooted my phone a while ago and have now screwed something up on it. It keeps saying ISM service unavailable...every 2 seconds no matter what I try. If you have a fix for that, that's great and I'd love to hear it. However, I am just looking for stock firmware for my Galaxy S7 G930V VRU4CRE5 to fix the problem. I can't find it anyway...I'm also aware that I'm no expert on this stuff so if any other stock firmware, or heck even a custom ROM at this point, works for my version that you can suggest, well then any help is welcome! thank you
