Thanks CuriousRom for all the suggestions; much appreciated!!. Sadly I've already implemented them all and still don't have cell data with LineageOS, even with the latest 2018-01-10-nightly-i9300. I am able to make phone calls though. Cell Data works with T-Mobile Stock Rom reinstalled, as well as with ArchiDroid.

1. Spent an hour troubleshooting with T-Mobile US going over all network settings prior to submitting my original post. All good with Preferred Network type 3G, APN = T-Mobile US LTE (fast t-mobile.com). Network operator = Choose Automatically (which results in Registered on Network when pressed).

2. Network Settings Reset and reboot tried several times as well, with no success.

3. Cellular Data is enabled. Also tried disabling and re-enabling.

4. Tested with both original SIM, and brand new SIM, both of which provide Cell Data when rom is T-Mobile Stock Rom, or ArchiDroid rom.

5. I live in Los Angeles. Your newly flashed modem is definitely great. It gives me an extra bar in signal strength. Sadly, still no Cell Data.

6. No network operator outages.

7. SIM good, new and old.

8. Lineage su 14.1 ARM addon installed as second zip before rebooting for completion of LineageOS install. Also tried it without the addon, using TWRP's prompt to root the device before reboot, but LOS wouldn't finish booting when I did this, so I flashed again with latest nightly and Lineage su 14.1 ARM addon.

ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS:

1. Two "E:unknown command [log]" errors occurred during the initial LOS install, as shown in the attached pic.

2. "MTP has stopped" error has occurred a few times.

3. I tried installing LOS with GAPPS pico, as well as with no GAPPS at all. No cell data either way.

4. My i9300 was originally a fully unlocked US version. However, I lost that rom in my initial learning attempts and was forced to replace it with a T-Mobile stock rom that I found online, since I couldn't find the US unlocked version. Can't imagine this has any bearing on the cell data, since I completely reformat the internal drive before installing LOS, Archidroid, or the T-Mobile Stock Rom, but I mention it in case it's beyond my understanding. The stock rom I found is "DTM-I9300XXUGOL2-20160120153113.zip" from "http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/60301/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/DTM/I9300XXUGOL2.html". If there's a better stock rom for me to use, or someone has a link to the original unlocked US i9300 rom, I'd appreciate that suggestion as well.

Thanks again for the assist!! Sincerely appreciated!! LOS is indeed a wonderful and elegant rom. Hope I'm able to resolve this somehow.

--------Post added---------

Thanks Simon. Can't say I know what an EFI partition is, but I have confirmed my cell data works with a T-Mobile Stock Rom as well as with an ArchiDroid rom. I think this honors your assist. Please let me know if it doesn't. Thanks again.

Hahaha... indeed, my troubleshooting had my eyes glazing over as well... :)) Apparently, I need at least 10 posts before the "Thanks Button" is even visible to me, so I will definitely be using my new privileges to say thanks that way when I can.

Rebuild from the ground up was definitely helpful. I was wiping and formatting, but not in the right order. Reinstalled as suggested, using your modem. Edited T-Mobile's APN instead of creating anew. All in all, more stable with the clean install, though Cell Data requires other APN's still to function. Backed up the new install in TWRP, including some apps downloaded successfully from Play Store using Cell Data (no WiFi), then deleted all but T-Mobile APN (enable/disable doesn't exist as option - only Discard, Delete, Save). When all are deleted and only the T-Mobile APN remains, Cell Data doesn't work at all, sadly.

Noticing some instability that may be coming from my battery, so getting a replacement battery before testing further.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
APN enable/disable & Deleting

Your network may install more than one APN & automatically select one as default. Do not delete all the others related to T-Mobile.

Swollen Battery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
Yes. It's swollen. And what? I'm not going to take pictures of it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Swollen!

I was replying to this quoted part of the post above, quoting your problem description as a possible explanation for his problem:

I don't need a photo of a swollen battery lol. I got one myself in an older Windows phone.

so

Hey, so i successfully installed the OS and my phone is working sorta fine> The issue till now i have had is the fact that i am not able to root the device after installing the device. I tried the add-on for root and tried CWM's root option too. So, i am not really worried about this until i get an update. So is it possible to move the zip file to a sd card and directly flash it through recovery without deleting anything?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Use latest TWRP Recovery and Magisk Root.

I am not exactly sure what you mean but rooting doesn't affect your data.

It won't factory reset your phone.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
How to Enable Root

Welcome to the XDA forum!

"i am not able to root the device" - You did not say what you tried.

I don't understand this "tried CWM's root option too". You did not install the most recent TWRP Recovery as recommended in post #1 of this thread?

If you followed the Lineage installation wiki > Installing LineageOS from recovery > step #11 > LineageOS su add-on & installed addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip:

1- Settings > About phone > click on Build number until a pop up written "Developer options enabled" appears.

2- Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging > Toggle On.

3- Settings > Developer options > Root access > enable Apps and ADB.

Done! You don't need Magisk or anything else.

"So is it possible to move the zip file to a sd card and directly flash it through recovery without deleting anything?" - Which zip are you talking about?

"my phone is working sorta fine" - My S3 is working awesome on LOS 14.1. What's wrong with yours?

Without precise info it's impossible to give precise advice. :eek:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mont99:
thank you for replying. I was first using archidroid but after incurring problems with it, i upgraded to the OS. I used CWM for the recovery, and hence is the recover i am using. Now...........

Quite stupid of me....it was disabled in the dev. options menu. I didnt realize that until now.

As i mentioned, its working. A few issues are as follows:-

1)Repeated MTP manager "stopped working" error occurs when i connect it to the computer (although not all the time)

2)It must be just me and my eyes, but the colors seem to be abit off. Must be something in the settings

3)It takes over a second to unlock or switch off the phone.

...havnt tried calling or messaging, but everything else seems fine
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Recovery & LineageOS Update

You need TWRP for the LineageOS automatic updates installing feature in Settings > About phone > LineageOS updates to work.

I suggest a clean install as described in TWRP Recovery Update, Clean Install. Just disregard the APN part. Follow steps 1, 3, 4 & 7.

Might as well install the brand new Lineage 14-1 2018-01-17 i9300-signed.zip that just came out today which includes a new security patch & several changes. https://download.lineageos.org/i9300

You can install TWRP by copying TWRP....img to external SD card & flash using your current CWM.

It also includes an explanation & workaround for the MTP host known issue.

"...colors seem to be abit off. Must be something in the settings" - Many options for fine tuning in Settings > Display > LiveDisplay.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NewbieToo:
Yes, swollen battery. Should have a new one by Friday. Sadly, the S3's too unstable to test further until then.

The APN's that are being utilized by the phone are NOT T-Mobile APNs. I'll choose the custom T-Mobile APN I created, then the phone will switch to Net10, or others if Net10, etc. are deleted. The phone only switched to a true T-Mobile alternate (StraightTalk) after all others were eliminated. I'll investigate your enable/disable toggle in these Non-TMobile APNs when I'm back up and running and post the results. I know it was greyed out in the T-Mobile APN's. We'll see then how much the battery has been a factor overall.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Android-Banjarmasin:
The annoying issue now is the "Silent Factory Reset"

Its factory reset system data itself if you restarted your device without pressing power button 2 times or more, you cant pull the statusbar and system apps data gone, its like you bypasses the setup wizard

BTW the HWC Working fine on MoKee, only in MoKee or LOS has a fixed HWC
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] forkbomb444:
Hi!

Android O has a lot of changes, including to the kernel. Google supports as far back as 3.10 (five years old!). Backporting these changes to Linux 3.0 (seven years old!) might be possible, but no matter how hard I try, the kernel will have huge numbers of vulnerabilities. Going forward, more and more effort will be required to continue maintaining it.

So, before working on Oreo I've decided to port i9300/i9305/n7100/t0lte to mainline Linux. This is going to take a while - I started working on this in earnest at the end of last year. Currently, there's no OpenGL support - so instead I've been using a traditional Linux distribution to develop on.

Currently, there's a pretty neat list of things working (keep in mind, I haven't even attempted to boot Android on this yet...):

Display + panel brightness (on S3 and Note 2)

USB

Capacitive keys

Hardware keys

Sensors (on S3 only)

Wifi

Notification LED

HDMI (untested)

Cameras (untested)

Touchscreen (on S3 and Note 2)

Charging

Fortunately, the lima project exists for OpenGL on Mali 400. So far, it can render spinning cubes - but I don't think it's quite far enough to handle Android yet...

That leaves the main things left to figure out:

GPS (will require a lot of work - reversing the protocol used...)

Modem (I've started working on i9300/n7100, but it's not yet booting fully)

BT (should be super easy)

Audio

Note 2 sensors

Note 2 S-Pen support

You can see my progress in my github repository.

I guess I'm having kind of this issue too, one of the effects is the WiFi networks key, I have to enter the key after each reboot for certain network. The other thing, some apps behave as if it's the first launch though it's not.

Random Reboot Problem

Hi Seri1618,

I had a similar issue: since a few month my i9300 was rebooting a few times per day. I didn't find out the cause, but after doing a complete factory reset (including system, data and internal sd card) and installing the LinageOS version 20180110 + pico gapps + fdroid extenion + root the phone runs fine again :)

I haven't installed all apps yet again I was using, but I plan to add more apps on a weekly basis so if one of my apps was responsible for the reboots I will find out eventually.

I have one question, are you thinking about including Android Go into Android O for our S3 / the other devices?

No, there is no option

Try to download it from apkmirror, if it doesn't install, there is probably no way to make it work.

Maybe if there is a mod.

I can confirm that all is OK after dirty flash the ROM by the steps from the first post over the Breadymarrow's build

1. Dirty flash the Experimental ROM

2. Reboot in System

3. Reboot in recovery

4. Flash the nightly build

5. Reboot in System

After these steps all my data stayed untouched

That's for now.
