please help?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
No SIM After Update

Try turn off the phone, wait 5 seconds & turn back on.

If it does not work check S3 How to do a very important EFS Partition Backup - No Service Fix (by restoring the EFS partition from a backup)

As usual please report back if it works for you or not. :cool:

I have done this procedure a few month ago, and I highly recommend it. My blackscreens / sudden deaths didn't show up since. :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Robert-R:
​I ​have ​​noticed​ the same phenomenon:

When ​I​ start charging when the device is switched off, Lineage charging-% appears to have been ​in​correctly transferred to the ​power-off​-charging-monitor. ​W​hen thereupon the device is switched on again, this incorrect (far to high) charging-% is passed on to Lineage.

Lineage represents this charging-% correct again ​​when the​ 100% charging level (or even somewhat lowe​r​; green led​ on​?)​ is reached​.

It looks like developers haven't ​fully​ mastered the information-model of Samsung's S3 charging-system (yet). No one is to blame as reverse engineering is a difficult and time-consuming process.

However, as a workaround, when ​I​ start charging while the device is ​still ​switched on (and ​leave it​ on​ during charging​), Lineage continually represents the charging-% correctly.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dana.marivani:
Yes exactly your letter,Unfortunately,2018-05-24, I say that this time the phone's charging speed is very slow,And vice versa, the emptying speed is fairly good,everything is checked in terms of cable and battery review
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TruthNZ:
I should clarify the other builds I've had on there are various LineageOS based builds (e.g. the experimental build, etc).

The baseband reported is different, because I get Robotic voice calls with the default modem installed, I've updated my primary use phone to the I9300XXUGMK6.

I could try switching the phone with the issue over to it - but I thought that was related to the voice/cellular data only, not the WiFi.

Nope, same signal strength on both phones (I'd already checked that one as a straightforward thing I can do myself).

Also didn't solve the issue :(

So yes, those two WiFi networks are in the blacklist, which might be an issue ... but they weren't the one I was trying to connect to in that test case: Rickerby 5Ghz

(Yeah, I have a few personal WiFi networks around my house, using old ADSL/WiFi routers to spread it out and cover otherwise dead spots, but they don't support mesh so have to have unique SSIDs. Test was done in a spot that gets most of them)

I'll try your other ideas when I next run into the issue.

Someone else suggested wiping just the cache, instead of a full factory reset, which appears to have worked. Would still like to get to the bottom of the issue tho.

Re: Wifi Not Connecting Anymore

Modem firmware is for cellular network, Wifi & GPS.

The most recent Samsung firmware for S3 i9300 in New Zealand according to this page is I9300XXUGOK1 which contains modem I9300XXUGOK1.

I downloaded a Odin flashable I9300XXUGOK1_MODEM.tar file here, unzipped it & checked in the modem.bin & saw this: I9300XXUGOK1 SP6260_M0_MODEM_03.1508_DB150216 2015-Nov-25.

>>> Edit: I attached & tested two flashable modem zip's in the post below.

The I9300XXUGMK6 is a 2013 modem. the higher the last 3 characters of a Samsung firmware or modem, the more recent. Ex. OK1 vs. MK6.

If you do decide to update your modems do this backup before to be on the safe side: S3 How to do a very important EFS Partition Backup - No Service Fix

You can always flash back your older modems.

As a rule of thumb I would say it is better to install the most recent modem for your country/region/network provider combo.

"Nope, same signal strength on both phones..." - Again: to be a valid comparison you need to be as far as possible from the router. And that's 1 router, not 3 or 4. ;)

"...I have a few personal WiFi networks around my house..." - Hum, that looks like a recipe for problems. Repeaters are cheap these days.

Modems: New Zealand + Latin America & Secret Codes

[MENTION=8122093]TruthNZ[/MENTION] : Just for fun I made a TWRP flashable zip with the I9300XXUGOK1 modem (2015-Nov-25) from the most recent Samsung firmware for New Zealand according to this page as I mentioned in the post above & installed it on my S3 i300.

After testing before & after flashing the modem the cell signal, cell data transfer including internet, Wifi signal strength & speed and GPS all is OK & will keep on using it for a couple of days to compare to the one I was using since a couple of months: I9300UBUGNK1 (2014-Nov-6) which is the most recent in the Samsung stock 4.3 GT-i9300 firmwares for Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica, Chile, Uruguay, Ireland and works great in Costa Rica where I live @ the present.

I attached both modem.zip's as well as a couple of screenshots some made with GPS Test by Chartcross with Quick Tile > Location > Device only (GPS only) and with Wifi Analyzer by farproc @ 2.4 GHz which is a tad better than the one I linked above IMO.

How to flash a modem using TWRP:

1- Copy modem....zip to sdcard (do not unzip as it is ready to flash!)

2- Boot in Recovery

3- Backup your EFS Partition: S3 How to do a very important EFS Partition Backup - No Service Fix

3a- Do a full backup if you don't have a recent one. Better safe than sorry.

4- Choose 'Wipe' from the main menu > Advanced Wipe > select Dalvik Cache + Cache and Swipe to wipe the selected partitions

5- Install the modem...zip

5a- Optional: I always do > Back to Home > Advanced > Copy Log Copying file /tmp/recovery.log... just in case if anything goes wrong for troubleshooting or for reference. Note where the recovery.log is copied to & you can rename it recovery_log_Modem.txt for example & that can be attached to a post or opened in Wordpad for example.

6- Reboot to system and DO NOT do anything else in TWRP

7- It can take up to 10 minutes for the system to boot so be patient!

[MENTION=8122093]TruthNZ[/MENTION] :Using the free app Phone INFO Samsung > Hardware > could you tell me the brand of your WiFi Chip? Mine says Samsung Electro-Mechanics CO.

A neat trick: in Lineage the Samsung Galaxy Secret Codes or (engineering codes) normally activated via the dialer's keypad are not working but using > Phone INFO Samsung > hamburger menu (Navigation Drawer) > Secret Codes > and attached is > tap 0011 Service Mode > Launch 0 > which is pretty good to check Cellular Data as you can see the band your phone is using to connect to your provider (WCDMA UMTS 850 Band 5, HSPA+ for me) and the RRC States (Radio Resource Control) transitioning between IDLE DCH URA_PCH FACH PCH depending on data transfer being active or not and RSCP signal strength (lower the better).

Please report back if you try one of those modems & if it works for you or not. :cool:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] hasekev99:
No, I mean Bootloader, I think
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Most Recent S3 i9300 Bootloader: I9300XXUGPE1

Short version:

It is the S-Boot I9300XXUGPE1.

Unzip the attached file & flash sboot.tar.md5 using Odin (click on BL & select the file - screenshot) then with the S3 in Download Mode (w/ phone off: volume down + home button + power button combo > confirm by pressing Volume up > Continue > to get Downloading...) connect to the computer click on Odin's Start button. Reboot to system without doing anything else.

For detailed instructions about getting the most recent Odin & using it see Samsung Firmware & LineageOS clean install

***

On the S3 i9300 the bootloader is actually named Samsung S-Boot. You can check the bootloader version you have with the free app Phone INFO Samsung > Firmware.

Or if rooted search for s-boot in /proc/last_kmsg to see more detailed info like this:

Samsung S-Boot 4.0-2921268 for GT-I9300 (May 26 2016 - 17:03:34)

EXYNOS4412(EVT 1.1) / 1022MB / 15028MB / Rev 12 / I9300XXUGPE1 /(PKG_ID 0xa070008)

For Samsung firmware, modem or bootloader the higher the last 3 characters, the more recent it is. For example PE1 is more recent than OK1 as you can see in the firmware page linked below.

I downloaded the most recent & last official Samsung firmware for the i9300 I9300XXUGPE1 (Orange) 2016-08-16, extracted the sboot.bin, made a Odin flashable sboot.tar.md5 using mkh.mourad's Tar Tool and installed it on my phone.

I have been running it on my S3 i9300 since 5 months, all OK.

The S-Boot bootloader is the first thing that runs when you turn on the S3 with it's Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300 splash screen. It runs before anything else is loaded including either Recovery or Kernel > ROM.

The image above is from XDA's Wiki > Bootloader

Is there a way to automatically start system when i9300 is connected to charger? Current behavior is only charging, but I'm using my SGS3 in car as a log collector so I don't always see when it discharged completely.

There seems to be no lpm file in LineageOS rom.

[MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] I've followed your S3 LineageOS Super Clean Install guide and I can't seem to reboot in TWRP Recovery Mode by pressing the volume up + Home + Power buttons.

When I press & hold the buttons, the Samsung Galaxy S3 white logo slowly flashes for as long as I hold the buttons. When I release the buttons the Android system recovery loads instead of TWRP!

I've skipped the Stock Samsung Firmware Installation & Fixing TWRP Partition Error section. That's ok?

I have Windows 7 64 bit with the Samsungs mobile phone USB drivers installed. I've used the latest TWRP version and the latest Odin version. I've put everything on C:/.

The TWRP flashed successfully. The process of flashing completes in 4 secs or so. The only option chosen was the F. Reset Time. Odin log:

I have an i9300 with stock, latest Android 4.3. Baseband version I9300XXUGNA8. Kernel version 3.0.31-2735602. Build number JSS15J.I9300XXUGNH4. I have the eMMC sudden death bug (fw version: f1).

When I take out the battery and put it back in, the phone automatically boots up. I don't need to press the power button.

The battery life was at 83% when I started flashing.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] karpacha:
Thank you for your time.

Yeah, I'm that person :) I will do some research first and ask at a later date, if needed.

Indeed, releasing the three buttons as soon as I saw the logo fixed the problem. Everything else went smoothly.

I'll now do the sudden death fix you've linked.

S3 i9300 & LineageOS Statistics - Active Installs

Nice to include a screenshot but it would have been cool if you said where it comes from.

It is from the LineageOS stats page where you can see that there are more than 49,500 S3 i9300 active installs and it is at #4 currently.

That is less than 3 months ago when I noticed that the i9300 was #2 on the list with 52,000 active installs but as it is getting older some devices may be retired, broken or some users are switching to other firmwares.

Active installs means devices pinging almost everyday to the Lineage servers. See lineageos-infra/tribble-tracker for more technical info:

Your S3 running Lineage 14.1 is pinging about once a day to the Lineage servers if > Settings > Privacy > LineageOS statistics > Stats collection is enabled (it is by default).

I like the Preview data function in that panel. That's transparent & honest & I wish all the apps collecting your data would do the same.

Some remarks about the LineageOS download statistics page:

- 3 months ago there was 1.6 million Active Installs in total and as of 2018-06-03 it's 1.9 million. Impressive progression.

- mido → Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 just received LOS 15.1 and shot up to #1 because users from a bunch of other older firmwares installed it. The same surge may happen if the i9300 gets it one day.

- #2 wt88047 → Xiaomi Redmi 2 no longer have an official Lineage download @ the present https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/wt88047

- Some devices are higher than others because more of them were sold so have more possible LOS users. That's why India is in the top of the active installs by country and not Costa Rica.

- Users of more recent devices with more recent stock firmwares tend not to install Lineage.

- It's too bad that it only says the code name for the devices instead of the full name like the wt88047 example above. Same for not having full country names and when clicking on them it says Individualstats are not currently available @ the present.

- The list I made here is 3 months old but includes the full name of the top 30 devices at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/7whej0/lineageos_downloads_stats_active_installs_top_10/

S3 i9300 Battery Temperature?

Please provide a link to an app that shows a battery temperature different than 30° C and that works on stock LineageOS S3 i9300.

Or the name of a system file I could look in to see it. Or a link to official Samsung specifications that mentions a readable battery temperature sensor.

Or post some screenshots of the Boeffla-Config App running on S3 with different battery temperatures and not only one fixed one. I want to be proven wrong, maybe Lord Boeffla found the secret door to access the battery temperature?

Or the Lineage kernel does not support it & his does?

It's probable that the charging circuit has a thermal protection cutoff to prevent the battery from exploding or catching fire.

I never said that the S3 i9300 does not have a CPU thermal sensor. Actually on 29th April 2018 I wrote this:

I'm serious, my girlfriend is really hot so can you send me that liter of thermal paste or not? :eek:

Re: Cellular Data Lost After Phone Call?

"After disconnecting the charger, losing the sim card..." - That's very different from the "After the phone call, packet data does not work" you posted originally & points to a hardware problem if what you are saying is:

1- Phone calls & cellular data are working (can surf the web) when connected to a charger.

2- When you disconnect the phone the SIM disappears, No network like your screenshot. So can't make phone calls or surf the web.

Suggestions: try with a known good battery or make sure yours it not loose in the battery compartment. Put battery on a flat surface: is it swollen & curvy? Restore EFS Partition. Install Samsung stock firmware w/o TWRP & test extensively if the problem is solved.

"...installed I9300XXUGNA5_9300O2UGNA1_i9300XXUGNA8 from O2 UK" (2014) - Why? Do you live in the UK instead of Poland as the flag under your avatar shows? Is O2 your cellular provider?

In the firmware download link I posted in my Cellular Data Lost After Phone Call? post above I can see:

Poland (XEO)

Poland (Orange) (IDE) <<< most recent firmware (2016)

Poland (PLUS) (PLS)

Poland (Play) (PRT)

Poland (T-mobile) (TPL)

Did you miss the modem suggestions above?

"... disabling and enabling mobile data does not give anything"- I suggested above: "Try toggling on/off Airplane mode instead of rebooting" which turns off & back on the amongst other things the cellular radio (modem) thus resetting the cellular connection to your provider which toggling Data does not do. But if you have no SIM it will probably not change anything.

You said what you installed but not what you wiped or formatted. Again, see: S3 i9300 LineageOS Super Clean Install & Samsung Firmware and make an EFS Partition backup if you don't have one while running the stock firmware w/ TWRP installed.

I can't copy/paste all the suggestions I made above. Did you try any of them?

No 3G data

After flashing Lineage 14.1 (20180524-NIGHTLY-i9300), I don't have any mobile data or MMS. Data worked fine on the stock ROM, which was JRO03C.I9300ZCDLK1, Android 4.1.

I've set the correct APN, turned airplane mode on and off, and rebooted several times. I updated the modem firmware to I9300XXUGOK1 using TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76556946&postcount=38). Android shows that the updated modem is running, but it doesn't work either. I have an IMEI number and can place phone calls, so it's not an EFS problem.

Do I also need updated drivers for the modem? I know there's the "RIL", but I don't know if that gets updated by Lineage, or if I have to do that somehow...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
No 3G Data & MMS - Ting APN?

Thanks :good: for providing proper troubleshooting info.

Wow your stock firmware was really old. :)

I see under your username > More > Ting as cellular provider. Make 100% sure that you have the proper APN & MMS settings. And double check. Or call them if it does not work.

Maybe in this page: https://help.ting.com/hc/en-us/articles/205428698-GSM-Android-APN-setup-guide and reboot.

If still not working try reboot in TWRP Recovery > choose 'Wipe' from the main menu > Advanced Wipe > select Dalvik Cache + Cache and Swipe to wipe the selected partitions & reboot to System. It may take 5-10 minutes for System to boot fully after a cache wipe so be patient.

"Do I also need updated drivers for the modem?" - No, you flashed a recent modem, that should be enough. The RIL in LOS 14.1 for S3 i9300 are fine.

My provider recently killed their MMS service probably because of WhatsApp & others, don't know if yours did the same or not.

"Data worked fine on the stock ROM" - I made an habit of writing down the APN & MMS settings before flashing to a different firmware as I had the same problem as you once. After a call to my cellular provider they texted me via SMS a settings script which automatically ran once opened & fixed Data & MMS. That was on a different phone.

Because your Samsung stock 4.1 was so old you probably have an old S-Boot bootloader too. Check Most Recent S3 i9300 Bootloader: I9300XXUGPE1.

Please report back if you fixed your problem or not. :cool:
