Sorry, I meant that I checked the supported device listings and mine isn't there. They have similar but newer models.

I also have a somewhat unique processor so even jailbreaking it is a bit crazy.

    I would also have a look at the XDA forum. A very large percentage of devices that are not officially supported have unofficial ports (Lineage and others) that run 99% as well as the official ones.

    e.g. my old Galaxy S8 was not official supported but one of the staff members of XDA made a port that runs like an absolute dream.

    Check the unofficial builds on XDA. My bet is that it exists. The unofficial builds are rock solid if you're wondering. I have a 10 year old smartphone that runs Lineage18 flawlessly on an unofficial ROM

    Thanks. I just spent some time on XDA and unfortunately there's scant support for my processor.

    No joy today it seems.

    Dang. Yeah, every time I look for a new smartphone I check to see what the Lineage and future PmOS support is like

    This is a Note 8 and no one has figured out a way to open the Snapdragon bootloader.

    Thing is I specifically chose Snapdragon for its performance. Silly me.
