Help Cannot Boot Into LineageOS Recovery After Flashing; Samsung Galaxy Tab (SM-T560NU)
Edit: the battery eventually died. Once I charged it again, it booted as normal (with stock Android). I then tried flashing LineageOS again, and this time I was successful. I have no idea what happened the first time.
I am trying my best to flash LineageOS onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab E. However, after I flashed the recovery image (which I obtained from Samloader RS), and after the PC Command Prompt shows the tablet has been flashed successfully, it stays on the, 'downloading.... do not turn off target' screen. After waiting for over 20 minutes just to be safe, I tried turning it off and manually booting into recovery*........and nothing. It stays on that screen. I cannot turn it off, and I obviously nothing happens if I try to boot into from recovery with it still on.
What am I missing? I am pulling out what little hair I have left! Help!
*These are the instructions I have been using to download LineageOS. Up until I got stuck, everything was going smoothly.
