[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] lololololol:
Thx noc for the detailed feedback.

Twrp version has been 3.0.2-1.

I came from an ALI5 4.1.1 Stock Rom (where I had to fix a "sim network unlock code" error).

Cant recall specific apps stopping (there were many), cause i moved to Eclipse Rom, which is working very good. U know...its stock-based though...not my preferred style...

But i can say that the launchers, google services and many more were popping up.

I did not use Substratum and neither Xposed.

Again, thx for your help.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] KubaFKubaF:
If anyone has No SIM detected problem, then:

- wipe everything

- flash a kitkat rom, kitkat modem

- wipe everything EXCEPT Efs

- install this RR rom and gapps (or restore a backup of this rom EXCEPT its Efs)

I spent a few hours today figuring out why a simple total TWRP backup and total restore broke SIM. Turns out Efs is probably wrongly backed up or restored, so one from a kitkat backup should be used.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mtr_:
I suspect that the reason for not working SIM for some people might be caused by selinux permissions of efs files. If I remember correctly something was reverting them to be "unlabeled".

It can't be told until someone affected shares a logcat.

There is a possibility that doing NV Rebuild to fix gps is the cause of this. If it will turn out that it is because of selinux permissions, Rodman won't have problems fixing that.

What to choose?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MrWasdennnoch:
Probably the newest version with the most downloads? ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
As it is with all custom ROM's it only depends on your desire and requirements. I'm currently on RR v5.8.5-final and extremely satisfied.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Whitebeard05:

Just i flash it on twrp to update ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
The img.tar-file is for flashing via Odin etc., the img-file for flashing through your current TWRP. Somewhere on the TWRP-homepage should be the option to flash an image. But you can also use a tool like e.g. Flashify, FlashFire etc.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] KubaFKubaF:
I reproduced the no-sim condition, attached are logcat and dmesg in case anyone can find something in them.

While reproducing i found that a kitkat rom has to boot before installing/restoring this rom for no-sim to happen. When i just wiped RR, restored kitkat, wiped kitkat, restored RR and booted, sim worked.

[MENTION=4613083]rodman01[/MENTION]:

Even though there is

restorecon_recursive /tombstones

in init.target.rc, the efs1.bin file still is unlabeled.

In t0lte they have this problem avoided by putting

allow qcks unlabeled:file { open read write getattr setattr };

There are two options: either to figure out why it is still unlabeled or go the t0lte way.

My S3 won't boot after flashing TWRP 3.0.2-1 it boots only in TWRP recovery what to do?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Various causes can force such an issue, and it's really tough to assess with so little information (I now only know you flashed TWRP 3.0.2-1). Please excuse my words but I don't own the capability of divination. If you report the next time, please attached a TWRP log (usually available at /tmp but you can also copy it to your external SD where it's obviously wipe-save. Procedure: Advanced => Copy log).

Lacking the information if you did something else besides flashing the new recovery e.g. flashing a RR version. It's really required that you describe everything you did as precisely as possible before an/the issue occured. Our devices are highly sophisticated technical items with multiple sources for a failure - and flashing isn't always so straightforward as obviously some people believe. That's the reason for the disclaimer lots of thread carry: You can brick your device, and you do everything on own risk.

Anyhow, I've an assumption what might have casued the problem but in regard to my statement above, I don't know if I'm right.

Obviously, your boot partition became corrupted somehow - but I assume it's connected with Magisk.

Two things you could do (I assume your recovery is now TWRP 3.0.2-1; is it indicated as that?):

I hope you made a Nandroid backup before you flashed TWRP 3.0.2-1 and whatever else (Automatically taking Nandroid backups at the very beginning must become ingrained to everybody who flashes). Furthermore, I assume that the boot partition was ticked (selected) for this backup.

Just restore your Nandroid backup out of TWRP 3.0.2-1. I'm convinced the phone will boot into system.

Unless it's already available, download (e.g. via PC) the Magisk-uninstaller-zip from the Magisk thread.

Boot into TWRP.

Unless you've already stored the Magisk-uninstaller somewhere on your device, connect your phone to your PC via USB, in TWRP settings => mount => Mount USB storage. In your PC's explorer, find your device and copy the Magisk-uninstaller to a location of your desire on your external SD.

Flash Magisk-uninstaller-zip.

Wipe davik/ART cache and cache.

Flash RR-N-v5.8.5-final.

If desired flash your custom kernel and/or the Xposed framework and/or any Magisk module.

If desired flash your desired GApps version or your desired Nanomod module and the Nanomod-patcher.

Reboot into system.

I sincerely hope you get a functionable device back now.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] KubaFKubaF:
I am embarassed to say that i was using an older build of this rom (5.8.4) for the log files. I thought i had the Final version backed up but didn't. I am sorry for any wasted time.

But after all the reflashing i am now unable to get SIM working neither on dirty upgrade from 5.8.4 nor on clean instal of final rom and gapps. It still works on kitkat backup.

Attaching logcats, there are no "denied.*efs" lines this time. One is from upgrade of 5.8.4, others are from clean installs. The first and second boot ones are of different installs, so possibly out of sync.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Please try a clean flash of RR-N-v5.8.5-final but without GApps and check if the SIM is now available.

Reason, I'm asking, are these posts that I found by searching the thread for "no SIM":

Ok tried clean install of Final w/o gapps, and on first try it still did not detect sim.

Then i clean installed 5.8.4 w/o gapps and sim was detected.

Then again clean install Final and it does detect the sim now.

Seems random to me. I know i was even able to restore my 5.8.4 and dirty flash Final and maybe new Gapps and it worked few day sago..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DennisO8:
I had the No SIM issue and resolved it by flashing the modem. All good now.

Love this rom thanks, but one thing that annoys the hell out of me is the bright LED when charging or just plugged in. Is there a way to turn it off? My previous rom was stock 4.3 with Wanam & Boefla, Xposed and I had full control of all LEDs. Thanks again for an awesome rom.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Whitebeard05:
My device work again i do flash the stock kitkat rom and then i flash the 5.8.5 final build and now my device works fine sorry sir and thank you for the advice .?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] KubaFKubaF:
Yes you can disable charging led, but i only ever found the setting by going to Settings->Search->Battery light.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djthorne:
Settings -> Notifications -> click the cog icon (top right). From there you can disable the battery light and other LED notifications.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Glad to hear it worked out. As I mentioned my SIM issue in the past was definitely caused by GApps. Being GApps-free for a long time, the issue never occured again.

Next time - if it happens to you again - please check at settings => "about the phone" if a baseband (i.e.) modem is indicated or if it states "unknown". In latter case, just do as suggested by DennisO8, and simply flash a new modem from MaHo_66's Flashable Modems Repositor. I'm personally using not the latest one available but XXUFOA1 as it simply runs perfectly for me. Please be aware that the CSC doesn't matter if you use RR. CSC may play a role when on stock Samsung ROM.

I appreciate the advice with the modem. Regarding the battery LED, @KubaFKubaF and @djthorne already pointed you into the right directions. Just want to add that I'm using a custom Boeffla kernel and Xposed together with RR-N-v5.8.5-final, and I guess I'm in full control of my LEDs independent of the RR settings.

Super. I'm glad you managed it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DennisO8:
Thanks all, I found the LED settings. You mentioned that you are running Boeffla kernel & Xposed with this rom & I would like to do the same. Can you please point me to the right versions? Loving my S3 4G again!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] netready:
Hi, I love the Boeffla kernel and Xposed! Which versions do I need for this RR rom? Also is there a theme (do I need a theming engine) or any way to change all of the system menus (in fact preferably everything everywhere) from black text on white background to white text on black background? I have tried downloading such dark themes but can't find a way to apply them. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] netready:
A couple more questions...I used to use this awesome app APPS2ROM for moving apps to system and cleaning up unwanted system apps but it doesn't work with this rom. I get "Unable grant write access on your filesystem" message. I love this app and would love to get it working.

Also the in-app ads are driving me nuts and AdAway doesn't work either saying "Either the su binary could not be found or you did not allow root permission for AdAway".

All other root apps are working great just these two seem to think there is no root? Thanks.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
AdAway is perfectly working on my device with RR-N-v5.8.5-final and Magisk v14 (see attached screenshots). What su do you use?

Never heard about the other one i.e. no experiences. Does it has root permissions granted?

@joam280: Never ever used NFC; no experiences if it works. Actually, one of the very few items I don't test after flash of a new ROM.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DennisO8:
Sorry the latest version of AdAway works great, I was running an old version.

Yes Apps2Rom has been granted root and I am also running Magisk v14 but no go. You should try it as it's awesome when it works. I always used SuperSU in my previous rom but can't get SuperSU working with this rom either, has an su binary update issue.

Is here anyone talking german? I have some questions that are hard to explain in english. Thx.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Certainly; however, you could just try. I personally generally refrain from using German at XDA because this curtails other members of possibly benefitung from a discussion or question and answer.

Alternatively, try the HuBo Forum.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] larswars:
This is my problem.

I can't see the download speed and so on.

What's to do now without changing the dpi.

Because all Apps change the dpi an some are looking too small. ?

Thanks for your patience.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
I hope I clearly understood your issue, or better issues as there're two:

No download speed indication etc.

Too small app icons.

Regarding no. 1, please refer to screenshots 6 - 9: ROM settings => Configuration => Scroll down to Network Traffic => Set to your desire.

Regarding no. 2: This is generally a launcher item but not a ROM issue. Please see screenshots 1 - 5, how I adjusted the apps dpi in my launcher (Nova Launcher Pro). As an example, app drawer in SS #1 prior to adjustment, SS #5 afterwards. I don't use and haven't used the launchers (Pixel and Trebuchet), which inherently come with RR. But I now, they only contain very limited, small settings. If they allow for such an adjustment you're going to find them.

However, in regard to your requirements use of a different launcher might be useful.

Please advise if I didn't capture the issues you had.

Remark: Until further notice unable to provide any further screenshots of RR v5.8.5 as I'm currently reverting to RR v5.7.4-Sammy.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] larswars:
No I mean the indicator in the notification area where u can see the download speed and the estimated time for the download to finish. ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Ok, roger! Now I know what you meant. As stated, currently ufn unable to produce screenshots or to evaluate the issue due to my reversion to MM.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DennisO8:
Hi, APPS2SD is totally different, I want to move many of my apps to the system partition i.e. make them system apps, which has 730MB free and that's what APPS2ROM does. It also totally removes (not freezes) system apps so you can get rid of them for good. It seems to need some level of root that Magisk just doesn't provide and SuperSU did on my stock rooted 4.3 rom.

I can't get SuperSU working as it complains about the su binary not able to update which further confirms my suspicion that Magisk is missing some level of root? Thanks.

How to best phrase a request to receive the most suitable answer?

An Issue with a ROM, a Kernel or an Application, etc.? A Few Things to Consider.

I don't know if "your" latest version of TWRP is the same as e.g. "my" latest one. Which version (by number) are you using?

Which RR version did you try to flash? v5.8.5-final? Just asking as some members are here who rather go with other versions?

Did you only flash the ROM or something else?

From which ROM did you "come" before the new flash?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Turwaithion:
HI all

I am still experiencing 2-3 reboots per day(randomly occuring) and a proximity sensor that goes out of calibration after 4-5 skype/phone, whatssap calls and acting as if something is always close. (a recalibration with saving the values to the efs fixes the issues until it comes back)

The reboots i will provide logcat and kmsg for (is there an easy way bt in this ROM ?). But for the proximity sensor that gets out of calibration, do you guys have any suggestions ? Already changed the prox. module previously.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Reverted back to RR-M-v5.7.4-Sammy but due to reasons not at all related to RR-N-v5.8.5-final. The latter one did run perfectly; no reboots, no sensor issues at all.

Are you probably using Xposed, too?

Regarding kmsg and last_kmsg: Both are located at /root/proc.

To grab e.g. last_kmsg in terminal with root permissions i.e. first thing you have to type in the terminal is su. Now a # should appear.

Then type cat proc/last_kmsg > sdcard/<filename of your desire>.txt

This command immediately transfers and converts the last_kmsg-file as a txt-file to your sdcard.

I've found reboots always occur for me while loading images in an app like wall apps XDA labs threads and similar also Google plus. I haven't figured it out but thought it might be to do with memory . It doesn't happen all the time but it only happens when doing those things for me.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
For me, it looks like your cache is formatted as F2FS. Am I right?

RR-N-v5.8.5 and its kernel do not support F2FS.

any tips?

Currently stock rom with Boeffla kernel 3.1 beta3

tldr from 4.1.2 to 7.1.2 possible?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Certainly, you can...

However, please before you flash anything take a Nandroid backup.

And unless you're already using TWRP 3.0.2-1 please update to that TWRP version.

If you've formatted any of your partitions as F2FS, please be aware that RR-N-v.5.8.5 and its inherent kernel doesn't support F2FS i.e. revert to ext4 prior to flashing.

Clean flash is a must (i.e. wipe dalvik/ART cache, cache, system and data).

Search this theard including its Q&A section and you'll find a link to a really excellent boeffla kernel modified by rodman01, which perfectly combines with RR-N-v5.8.5.

Last but not least a very personal suggestion: Don't try to use Xposed with Nougat (doesn't matter if official or unofficial).

Newbie Question

I have been considering switching to RR from the standards KitKat 4.4.4 that came with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (I9305) since this Krack vulnerability. The only thing I cannot find in searching this forum or any of the RR locations (Google+, etc) is if the Galaxy S3 rom of RR 5.8.5 includes the Krack vulnerability fix or not (or if it is pushed through as a security update).

If anyone could please advise, I would be very thankful :)

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
RR-Nougat received it end of life cycle last month i.e. the i9305's RR-N-v5.8.5-final does neither include a fix nor will receive one in future. By my information, the RR-team is now completely focusing on Oreo. However, you might probably able to retrieve further information at the RR Forums or Github pages.

Personally, I'm not at all concerned by or about Krack. Regarding our home WiFi network, already on the road you can't receive its transmissions anymore (reduced transmission power from the very beginning), and away from home I absolutely refrain from using WiFi but only use the cellular data network.

Issue with bluetooth

Hi

I have found an issue with bluetooth and audio in apps such as Skype and hope there is setting i have missed somewhere in the ROM.

When using a bluetooth for normal calls there are only issues sometimes where audio is not routed to the headset. But when using a bluetooth headset with apps such as FB messenger, Skype and Whatsapp for calls the audio is never routed to the headset. It is not heard in the handset earpeice either as if the phone "tries" to route to the headset but nothing happens.

I have tested with several headsets (working for sennheiser) with same results.

#edit using Skype without a headset the audio disappears after approx 3 seconds into the call.

How to reformat cache. Sorry I am a noob..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Whitebeard05:
Go to your TWRP. Then tap the wipe and find out the cache then swipe.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
That's surprising... An i9305 never comes pre-conditioned with the cache or any other partition formatted as F2FS. You can't be a real noob but it doesn't matter.

Please refer to my screenshots from TWRP: Wipe => Advanced Wipe => Select Cache => "Repair or Change File System" => (Remark: For you, on top should be stated "Mount Point: /cache File System: F2FS) Press "Change File System" => Select "EXT4" => "Swipe to Change".

If your /data partition is also F2FS please convert to EXT4, too.

Remark and just for your information if you intend to occasionally go for F2FS in future with a different ROM and an obviously compatible kernel: /system cannot be changed to F2FS.

Please advise in case of further questions.
