Yes, the button "bug" had been confirmed also by me.

And here is a temporarily fix for it. Thanks to [MENTION=758248]southz[/MENTION] for sharing.

And in next update, it would be most probably also fixed in the rom.zip

Edit: forget this post, magisk did the job

Hi everybody. I'm not an i9300 owner but eventually I'm updating a device.

I'm trying to root the device flashing supersu 2.46 through last twtp but this is causing bootloop. So I'm gonna detail the steps I did hoping you guys will be able to kindly help me. TIA

- Omega ROM. Android 4.3

- Factory reset

- Flashed last RR build + Opengapps arm 7.1 nano

- The device booted and everything was fine but the Play Store, the apps were downloaded but not installed (but I could install apps executing apks from the file manager)

- Flashed supersu 2.46

- Bootloop and I couldn't boot into recovery or download mode until I removed the battery. (***)

- Wipe system + Flash RR + opengapps

- The device booted and the Play Store worked properly even installing apps

- I tried to allow the root access only for apps once I noticed that setting in the developer options but I just could choose between Disable and Only ADB

- Flashed supers 2.46

- (***) again
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Glad that it worked - but I'm very surprised that it worked with this RR version.

This is RR for i9305, different hardware than the i9300.

Where did you get RR-N-5.8.3-20170711-LIBRA-OFFICIAL.ZIP from? I've never seen such a RR version?

RR-N-v5.8.3-20170706-i9305-Official is running fantastic. Go to OP; both download links are working (just check).

As you didn't provide sufficient information I can't suggest any installation recommendation.

[MENTION=4613083]rodman01[/MENTION] still not one reboot for me since installing on 6th of july. very good build thanks :):good::D

Another issues I've experienced:

1. Unable to start hotspot running on 5 Ghz band. 2,4 Ghz works fine.

2. Unable to pair Bluetooh with Windows 10 x64. Able to pair with Samsung Tab S 10.5 stock rom, however unable to send files.

3. And this is weird. Currently I'm switching between stock rom and RR using TWRP backup (wiping everything but ext SD Card and after restoration cache and davik). In both roms I'm unable to save files with Chrome, Magsk udpate, or ACR Calls Recorder to ext sd card ("SD Card isn't availbale" message). In stock rom gallery also won't let me open photos. Using ES File Explorer in both roms I'm able to view files.ACR call recorder on RR gave me message that Android 4.4.x block call recording (how does it detect 4.4.x on RR 7.1.x? By device name?). Does anybody experienced this issues? P.S There is ocassionally a pop up saying "MTP host stopped working".

4. I don't know where I've changed the bottom bar of the app drawer from the alphabet to white bar (screenshot). Where I can change it? I couldn't find this option.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:
The 5ghz hotspot issue is a well know issue it has never worked on any Los rom. Bluetooth connects fine for me to Linux but when I was using Windows 10 not long ago I found the Bluetooth issue was due to Windows. Try removing the device from device manager and reinstalling plus reinstall usb drivers. Or use Linux :p:laugh::good:

Edit : on Windows 10 I had to click on the Bluetooth icon in the notification area and click receive files

Linux just receives them automatically with an accept window

Please allow me to add to what was already provided by @alias_ z3d (BTE Mike, congratulations to 1,500 thanks):

Answered by alias_ z3d.

Possitively paired my i9305 and my Windows10 64-bit notebook via Bluetooth; able to transfer files.

Unable to comment on stock ROM. Which TWRP version are you using?

Instead of ES file explorer, maybe you want to give MiXplorer a try (available on XDA).

Please provide some screenshots regarding your ext SD Card (from TWRP and RR settings).

Just freeze MTP host by SD Maid Pro or Titanium Backup Pro, and the annoying notification are immediately gone.

You normally do those settings in the launcher. Which launcher do you use.

Thanks to the developer. Clean wiped and flashed have had no problems. Just MTP host FC. Any suggestions for an alternative camera/gallery. Have come from eclipse v11 and the camera/gallery from that rom was nigh perfect for this phone (including slow-mo). Obvious problem is that apk is incompatible. Google Camera 2.7 working, and Open Camera. Hopefully wont have to revert back to Eclipse. Nice 7.1 rom thanks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Just freeze MTP-host. Notifications are gone and no issues with the system.

I'm using the RR inherent gallery that is very fine for my purposes and running without any issues.

ROM inherent camera is frozen; I use OpenCamera v1.39 very happily.

Our devices are GApps-free i.e. no experiences with Google Camera.

I also have the mdm wakelock. Is is about 80 % of the total wakelock time when using 3G/4G. Resulting in a drain of approx 3 ,5%/hour during 8 hours sleep at night. When using wifi the wakelock is minimal and drain is at 0.8%/hour.

I have excellent signal reception with full bars (living in urban arena in Scandinavia)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MrWasdennnoch:
Wouldn't that also cause MTP itself to stop working? (So I can't connect the phone via MPT to the PC).
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Chef d'oeuvre

My device connects via MTP with the PC (I've never tried PTP though as I've no need). MTP was the way how I got e.g. my screenshots to the PC today as I'm on XDA by PC currently.

Just give it a try.

@rodman01: After a week I can clearly declare RR-N-v5.8.3-20170706-i9305-Official as your masterpiece - same as it was with RR-M-v5.7.4-Sammy!

I know you'll deny and point to p.a.n., westcrip and the rest of the RR team for their unquestionable efforts. You're certainly correct that this ROM for our beloved i9305 hasn't developed in the tremendous way without them, but in my opinion the same merits go to you!

Thank you very much for a ROM that smoothly runs without any issues, that doesn't drain the battery, and that hasn't unintentionally rebooted once within the timeframe it's on our devices.

Again (and as so often): Job well done!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:
I agree best RR since Sammy without a doubt, period. Not one reboot and signal doesn't drop any more feels like ril is more stable.

Hi everybody.

I had to flash Samsung rom to unlock my simcard.

So now, I want to back RR but have lot of FC at first boot.

I made full wipe except Internal storage and extcard.

Flashed rom, reboot into recovery and flashed gapps and magisk.

Reboot normally but unable to recognize simcard and so much FC.

So unable to do anything.

Is there something wrong ?

I tried to download again rom and gapps but same issue.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Which RR version did you flash? Just curious as you mentioned to have flashed Magisk, too. With the latest version RR-N-v5.8.3-20170706-i9305-Official Magisk is automatically flashed immediately after the ROM. Additionally, this version seems to really have no issues. Just see the posts of the last seven days.

What recovery and in what version do you use?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] totofe69:
I flashed last RR build 20170706. I didn't see magisk included Sorry.

I use twrp 3.0.1 if i remember. Maybe it's because i flashed magisk again i have these FC.

And for gapps, it's 20170714 build stock. I will try with nano or pico.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Excellent RR version; that shouldn't make any problems. Try a clean flash again.

Suggest to upgrade to TWRP v3.0.2-1 from here. I suggest not to use v3.1.1!

GApps is certainly ok but I've no experineces as I'm GApps-free and running microG.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] totofe69:
Thx a lot. Will upgrade twrp version and flash again but without magisk of course
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] alec.claire:
1. I'm using twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305.img.

2. The launcher I've set as default is Trebutchet. And I did flashed RR onto my Samsung Tab S 10.5 and the same thing happened this morning. I didn't change any settings. The only thing I did was updating Magisk via prompt in the app, but I don't know if this could've affected the app drawer's bottom bar. Any ideas of what causes it? Did anyone else have this "problem"?

Other things I want to ask:

1. What is the option of "expanded desktop". I've noticed that this feature hides top/main bar. Anything else?

2. Also in the Tab S 10.5's RR rom there is an issue with assigning button actions for menu button (e.g. double tap on recents physical button does switch between last two apps as in the Google's clean Nougat despite no action being assigned to double tap in RR. Also on 4.7" screen this can be omitted but on tablet is not - dual window feature (Samsung's 6.0 on Tab S 10.5 working beautifully with it).

3. Night mode doesn't work neither on i9305 nor Tab S 10.5. Comparing to what I've seen on YT with pure Nougat this feature is not functioning in RR or I can't set it up. Stock rom of Tab S 10.5 and my new phone LG X Mach both have "reading mode" where it is visible and working. Am I doing something wrong?

-----

Quick update: Just flashed LineageOS on Tab S (i9305 unavailable for me at the moment) and the Nougat's menu button functions work meaning: long press - multi-window, double tap - switching between two recent apps. Also Night mode works, but just a bit. So these are the thing to fix.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
1. Good TWRP.

2. For Trebuchet settings, long press your home screen. Press settings in bottom right. Make your desired adjustments. (see screenshots). Trebuchet here is frozen. Using Nova Launcher Pro.

Regarding the other things but I can't and won't comment on any Tab S ROM:

1. No idea. Never used it.

2. Please search this thread (both sections). Just a few days ago, an issue with hard keys (overview button, the left button) was confirmed. No way to change the default setting. EDIT: Upps, I believe it was you who reported first.

3. I've never used and won't use the night mode but just tried it. You're correct; doesn't seem to work.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] totofe69:
Upgraded twrp to 3.0.2.1.

Flashed rom and gapps after 2 x full wipe except Internal storage and SD Card.

Reboot and the same.

Will try with june build
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
With the same, you mean no SIM?

And full wipe, is that: Wipe /cache, /dalvik, /system and /data?

What's your baseband/modem? Country? Carrier?

I'm on XXUFOA1, Germany, Vodafone.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] totofe69:
Do you think baseband was changed with flashing eclipse rom ?

Normally it's no carrier european version
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MrWasdennnoch:
Try flashing gapps after you rebooted into the ROM once, there have been issues with crashing setup wizard in the past. What exactly is crashing?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] totofe69:
ROM apps ans gapps FC. Just after boot finished, in setup wizard and home too
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Some ROM actually do change the baseband; I don't know if your version of Eclipse did. But I know that at least this version " [ROM][GT-I9305][TW 4.4.4][2017-04-29] Eclipse ROM V11" does change the baseband. And I remember posts in this thread where "lost" baseband or locked SIM might have been caused by the baseband version. I'm convinced you know the thread "SIM-unlock your i9305" already. If you do and it was helpful please click the thanks button in the OP.

If I had your issue (assuming now the locked SIM) I'd follow this procedure.

Unlock the SIM (see linked thread).

Take a Nandroid backup.

Wipe cache, dalvik, system, data.

Flash RR-N-v5.8.3-20170706-i9305-Official.

Flash modem XXUFOA1 out of this thread observing the CSC list in the thread.

Boot into system. Check if baseband is available and SIM unlocked.

Back into TWRP and flash GApps.

Boot into system.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:
I'm lucky I rarely get the mdm wakelock it never goes above 2 percent for me but sometimes I randomly get it but only very rarely thankfully.

Edit, I think when I get an mdm hsic it's due to turning off data and not performing the recommended reboot or airplane mode toggle like [MENTION=7408621]noc.jfcbs[/MENTION] said a page back.

Adding to that what @alias_ z3d said, you might want to check your governor. Default governor is pegasusq.

I'm on zzmoove, governor profile is battery yank extreme, max freq 1000.

Sure I had some efforts too, and I appreciate your words and comments about that (it counts much for me, really), but nevertheless I am sure, I wouldn't have found and release this fixes of my own. And the best is, that it is solved now and finally at the, almost reached (?), end of Android N development. :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
This RR-N release is running so smoothly, no reboots, energy efficient (i.e. good for the environment), and providing us with everything we wanted. I'm really not convinced if we're going to follow to Android O. At least, we're going to closely monitor the RR-O development and if it's worth to upgrade. But that's some time in the future.

URGENT!

Took my Nandroid backup in TWRP, wiped dalvik and cache, and dirty flashed RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official over RR-N-v5.8.3-20170706-i9305-Official.

The attempt to boot into system didn't go further than to the Samsung logo. Logo stays on for about 10 seconds then turns off for about 2 seconds, back to on and so on.

After about 30 of the cycle, I decided to return to TWRP and to reinstall my backup.

Going to TWRP with home+vol-up+power buttons didn't work; device stayed in the mentioned cycle. I had to remove the battery and then to enter TWRP via the three mentioned buttons.

Currently, reverting to the backup.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] rodman01:
gggr, sounds not good...could it be that it is because of the update to magisk 13?

I did a clean flash and had also the lack of time at samsung logo, but after some seconds it rebooted or went further and booted just normal.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Might be because my 20170706 was already on Magisk v13.2 and Magisk Manager 5.0.6. When Magisk was flashed after RR, TWRP didn't indicate an error but I believe I read a line I haven't read before. Taking the TWRP log was useless as its saved to /tmp, which is overwritten by restoration of the backup and I forgot to move/copy it to sdcard. Sorry.

I'm now back on my backup; as expected no issues by reverting.

As soon as I find the time, I'm going to clean flash the other i9305 with the new version as I want to check if the settings of the overview button stick.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] rodman01:
The location of magisk had been changed in new version, I guess that this will/could cause conflicts with a previous installed magisk.

Weird

@rodman01: That's weird.

I've prepared the second i9305 for a clean flash; however, I decided to try a dirty flash on it, too.

During the flash of Magisk, I read the line again that was curious to me as mentioned above.

It states that "Unable to repack boot image!".

Please refer to the attached recovery.log that I took this time. Please see line 17324 ff. (Had to zip it due to size).

Now the weird thing happen because I didn't end up stuck on Samsung logo on and off.

When pushing the button "restart" I immediately ended up in the download mode! Crazy, isn't it?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:

I agree that it might cause many posts.

Can you try it with uninstalling your previous magisk first? Also the magiskmanager app? I have the doubt that the new location of magisk causes the problem. With my clean installation and sure, different setup like you both, I have no problems so far.

BLUF: I positively dirty flashed RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official over RR-N-v5.8.3-20170706-i9305-Official. NO ISSUES AT ALL!

Uninstalled Magisk Manager. Booted into TWRP. Flashed the Magisk-uninstaller-20170711.zip, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official. This time, the included Magisk flash went without the report "Unable to repack boot image!", wiped cache and dalvik (for whatever reason, my habit to do that prior and after a flash), and took the attached recovery log. Booted into system.

Reboot absolutely uneventful and fast. Root, Magisk v13.2 and Magisk Manager v5.0.6 available.

Back into TWRP and flashed my two Magisk Modules (Greenify and Nanomod-microG). Booted into system and back into TWRP. Flashed the Nanomod-patcher. Booted into system, and all including microG running smoothly and as advertised.

Now knowing that I must uninstall my current Magisk v13.2 first, I'm going to upgrade the other, my primary device to RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official in the afternoon.

I suggest to issue a warning that guys like me who have already upgraded to Magisk v13.2 and Magisk Manager v5.0.6 must uninstall Magisk v13.2 first before flashing of RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official. Personally, I doubt that it's required to uninstall Magisk Manager, and that it is sufficient to flash Magisk-uninstaller-20170711.zip first.
