Galaxy Note 8 Android 13 Upgrade
Budget: $50 – $70 AUD
I want my stock Galaxy Note 8 running Android 13 or higher. At the moment the phone is on Android 9, completely untouched—no custom recovery, bootloader is unlocked no work has been done.
Your first step will be to flash a current TWRP build (or an equally reliable recovery) and confirm it boots. Once recovery is in place, install a stable, Android-13-based ROM. I’m open to LineageOS 20, Pixel Experience, or any other well-maintained option you trust, as long as day-to-day features such as calls, Wi-Fi, camera, S Pen and basic banking apps all work.
I’ll have a Windows PC. I have nothing else ready. I dont know how to do anything else but i can follow instructions easily as i'm software literate but not in this field.
I can connect the phone by USB. We can do the job live over AnyDesk/TeamViewer or you can supply a clearly written guide with the exact files and verified checksums; whichever makes the process smoother for you or you can come here to Carramar or i can come to you.
Acceptance criteria
• Latest TWRP (or equivalent) installed and accessible
• Android 13+ ROM fully booted with GApps (if required)
• Core functions confirmed working (calls, data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, S Pen)
• Bootloader/recovery passwords or keys shared with me along with a repeatable step-by-step guide and download links
If you’ve handled Note-series Samsung devices before, especially the Note 8, this should be straightforward. Let me know how you plan to proceed and how long the session (or prep work) will take.
The successful applicant can do the same job on my Note 9 and Note 10+
