Got a practically new paperweight for free today, but can't find the firmware it needs (masstel tab 10plus with Android 8.1). I'm 99% sure it's the one I need. If there is any other compatible FW please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

I have moved all of our devices to A520F and TAB A (2016) runing LineageOS 14.1 and I am very happy with it. The bad side is one of the A520F, which aleady costs me 2 days because wether heimdall nor odin (i setup a windows machine to test it under windows too) replied with an valuable error when trying to flash nougat, except failed. I finally found out the at some version (i think August) it is not possible to downgrade the bootloader. Now I have one device running with an unsupported LineageOS 15.1 and had to hand it out to our Boss, because all other device had their new owners. She is kinda unhappy, that hers is different from others , but we cannot buy more A5's just to maybe receive one with an downgradeable Oreo version and trash all others.
My question is now is there any possibility to work around this and downgrade her phone to Nougat to be able to run 14.1 on it too. Any crack, special keys or whatever.
Thank you very much for any hint.

Not at the moment, but 15.1 won't be too far away.
My experience: Downgrad is possible, but you can't downgrade all parts. Not 100% sure, but just don't downgrade BL.

I tried searching but i'm just not sure about all the terminology being used on the results. I thought there might be a pinned thread but i did not see one. I'd like to update the OS on my Samsung S4 mini. I have not done any back-end work on any phone so i'm not sure how all this works. I found this site from a link from another site. Are there any beginner-noob step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade to a newer (Android 7x or +) version?
I am not sure because my device is I9192

Have been searching to see if i can upgrade my android version, have a samsung galaxy tab s that i have had for 6 years, had no problems with it until i tried to download a bank app, it couldnt find it, the banks customer service said it has to be running android version 8 or above. Had no reason to check this before but discovered im running android version 6.0.1 - any one know if i can upgrade and how. Checked software updates and they are up to date. Any help would be appreciated, its a fairly old tablet so cant find it listed on some of the sites i checked. It works great though, so no complaints. Would just be handy if i could upgrade.

If the bootloader gets patched to not make the version check guess its possible but it is possible the phone to get bricked as well.
