Added support for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

@Vandypants please test the config.

resolves #195

[tsterbak]

Do you think this is ready and should be included?

[Vandypants]

I still need to test it. I plan to do it on Friday, and then I can reply. Does that work for you?

@tsterbak Should I also add device code support for the lte version? - I don't see any significant differences in the lineage wiki

I can't answer that, as I don't have an LTE version I could test with. It's your call, bro.

Since it has different lineageOS versions, I guess both devices should be treated as different, since compatibility checking seems necessary and I don't want people to be able to install the wrong OS version too easily :D

Sorry for the late reply. I tried the Linux app again and I get the error that "Device with code 'gta4xlwifi' is not supported yet". Here is the info on my tablet...

Hi, no worries, thanks for testing.
This PR is not merged, so it is to be expected, that the device doesn't work out of the box.

• You have to download this file: https://github.com/openandroidinstaller-dev/openandroidinstaller/pull/200/files#diff-537b3cca8a912f396ed94c34458de91b40b1dd6bcdfdf66e86cacc88aa66faba
• place it in the directory you are running the installer from (assuming you are running the executable).
• Then the installer will pick it up and you can test it.

I will do that now. I'm running Pop!_OS. Which directory do I need to place the gta4xlwifi.yaml file in?

You should download the respective executable file of the Installer, and then the directory is the directory where the executable is running. For the flatpak this is not easily possible since it is sandboxed.

[Vandypants]

Got it. I'll switch to a Windows laptop and give it a try.

[Vandypants]

Now, I need help finding a TWRP recovery image online. All the links show 404 or something like that. Do you have any suggestions, or should I give up? :(

[tsterbak]

[WRONG LINK!] You can find it here: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocox3pro.html

I'll fix the link

[Vandypants]

Thanks. Now I am getting this error message (taken from Advanced output):

[tsterbak]

Yeah, that's quite and annoying issue...
It might indicate, that there are Samsung drivers missing on Windows (https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/98338/heimdall-error-libusb-error-12).
You could try the steps in the post, or try it on Linux. I guess the Debianbased executables would also run on pop_OS 🤔

Wrong device, isn't it?

Yup, it should, as pop_OS is based on Ubuntu

[tsterbak]

Wrong device, isn't it?

Öhm, well yes 😬 Wrong issue...

The official TWRP link for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite seems to be gone...

It seems to be discontinued because of softbricking issues with OTA... https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/closed-discontinued-recovery-official-twrp-for-galaxy-tab-s6-lite.4166985/page-4

Any news from your side @Vandypants?

[Vandypants]

I did download and install the Windows drivers and still got the same error message. I'm away from home for another 48 hours. When I do get back home, I will switch to Ubuntu and try it again.

[Vandypants]

I've been sick for the last few days. I have yet to be able to get Ubuntu on my system, so I can't test that your updates worked. Sorry.

No worries, I hope you are better now :) Looking forward to hear from you

@Vandypants Any updates regarding testing? 👀

[Vandypants]

No change. Your app says that the tablet is unsupported.

[tsterbak]

The device is still not supported by default. You still have to manually place the config yaml for the device.

Did you follow #200 (comment) ?

Should I then mark it as untested and we merge it?

We could do it I guess. I'm still not aware there is a working TWRP atm 🤔

Good catch - then I will leave it as-is rn and come back if I have more time to research if it exists. If not, I will add a note to the config and push it here with the untested flag...
