Hello everyone,

after getting quite far in the install process : unlocked bootloader and flashed vbmeta, i did the required factory reset, selected the language and hit restart as prompted.
It then told me that I had an unofficial flashed vbmeta (really samsung?)
Now, it's gone totally dead (black screen) when I plug it in to the computer (fedora linux) I get : Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM QUSB_BULK_CID:041C_SN:xxxxxx has been connected.
What level of dumb am I and how can I fix this please?

EDIT: i have tried all variations of restarting the device. I have now made 100% sure, it is stuck in QDL. I have the correct firehose files but still can't seem to manage to do anything.

Thank you kindly

Hello internet strangers,

I have Lineage running great on an Old Xiaomi A2 and would really like to get a tablet that can run it well too.

Question is : what to look for. Sure i can get anything on the compatible list but what do you actually recommend ?

Note that i need it to have wifi working as i only have a dumbphone on the side and no smartphone (other than the no wifi xiaomi i use as a DAP).

EDIT: Thank you for the various bits of advice, I'll have a look at what is available near me and go from there. It seems as though the Samsung S6 Lite will probably be the device I go for.

Thank you for any answers given
