OK, I have managed to fix the phone thanks to many good people here.

But now I have a few problems:

- latest TWRP brakes everything - If I use it, I have to flash the stock rom to detect the sim card

- I can't update via the built in updater

- I can't encrypt

- the Su bug is fixable via the jirra provided file

- while flashing I get two unknown errors in TWRP but it installs

How to overcome the encryption problem? Is there a known, working build that will install without bugs and ecrypt the phone?

I9305XXSFQD1_I9305XXUFOA1.tar The PDA and modem are independent of the CSC so you can flash any other country's/carrier's bootloader and modem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MigoMujahid:
yes, but another country's modem might cause sim issues with your phone, so it's not always recommended, but anyway you can flash your modem again separately after that.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ripee:
That's not the case at all because the compatibility of your phone with the frequencies at which the carriers in your country broadcast their signals is dictated by the radio chip corresponding to the variant of your phone's model. Because there is only one variant of the S3 LTE, GT-I9305, all S3 LTEs have the same radio chip which can connect to the same set of frequencies regardless of the country you are in. One radio chip means that all roms, regardless of the country/carrier the CSC corresponds to, have the same modem driver.

Same with the bootloader.

Guys please don't get me wrong, but I'm coming from kitkat (tw, cm) and this gives me an extremely bumpy ride...

Can't download anything in chrome cos of "missing sd card"

Can't set custom SD card folder for total recall call recorder, only a dedicated folder Which seems mandated by the system even on the card. It will be deleted on uninstall so it's risks losing my important records (wtf)

Led settings very bright and annoying even for normal use let alone night. For average notifications you really don't need full bright or white led...

Holy s... the settings menus with the security etc are complicated and cluttered! Very illogical,hard to find entry points for some advanced settings

stock file browser limited and can't access system folders..??? Why?

Sorry if I'm clueless and this all originates from stock android (but then Google is going in a very wrong direction)

I also don't know if this was like this already on the last CM version

But any helpful opinion are welcome especially for the chrome file save problem

Thx

Some questions answer:

*Turn on the storage permission on app info, quiet chrome totally and open again.

*You can choose set up ex as card as an internal storage, cuz all Samsung's drive are default internal storage as the primary one.

*Seems there has a third part app can help you but forget is that through xposed module, if it is it can not using in this system (cuz dont support Android 7.x).

*don't u see here has a search icon on the right top?

*Of course..you can choose using third part app like Root Explorer, but required root access.

Trying search on Google by myself, it's some easy questions!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] kbuss:
plz dude... dont reply if you dont know what im talking about, or dont tried

every permission is turned on for chrome, even the hidden ones

search icon doesnt help you, if you just exploring the options, and dont know what you looking for

i dont want SD as internal storage, OMG thats the point! cos then you have to format it, and re-copy everything onto it every time you change the rom.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MigoMujahid:
1- Your answer was a wrong expression, especially for new users

2- he tried to answer most of the questions, and btw..yes his answers are logical.

3- LOS 14.1 isn't so big and complicated in its settings!!, if you find LOS 14.1 complicated, then what would you say about Resurrection Remix or AICP!!!

4- when you enable permission to an app in start up then you will have to close the app and force stop it then open it for the permission to work.

4- stock browser isn't supposed to have Root access...just never...i have never tried a browser that have root access!!!

5- yes, every time you install the ROM and the sdcard notification appear, you get two options when you press it:

- "use as portable" and this the option you forgot because it just leave everything as it's no need to format or anything and you get to use the sdcard as normal.

- "use as internal storage" and that's the option you choose EVERY TIME and cause you to format, and then come here and complain.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] kbuss:
Thx Migo! That helps. but

3 - I came from kitkat (LOL) then I found the CM setting pretty good... i expected something similar or even smoother...

4 - i dont get you... in cm kitkat the CM file browser was full on, had access to everything, even used it to ascii edit system files...

5 - if I format SD as internal storage, then I can use it in any nougat but cannot go back to android 6, 5, 4 right...?

thx!

ps: you are right these are not extreme problems, but for an older device like this its better if you dont have to install an extra app for LEDs, for root browsing etc.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MigoMujahid:
4 - well, i never tried cm kitkat, i had no android device back then..lol, but that's the case since android 5.

5 - well, if you formatted it into internal storage in a specific ROM, everything will change if you change the ROM, you will have to re-format again, and if you turned into KitKat, i believe it will get back to normal and will be used as portable storage.

However, using it as internal will take space by apps you install, and changing the ROM won't delete that space, so you should format it anyway.

SIM Card not detected

Hello,

I tried a lot, but Lineage14.1 still doesn't detect my SIM Card.

So i flashed Stock Android 4.4 from Samsung with heimdall. On Stock everything works fine.

I installed TWRP twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305.img via heimdall. The here posted twrp3.100 file doesn't detect my External SD Card (64 GB, exFat).

from TWRP i made a factory reset and format data then I flashed LinageOs 2017-06-14 and Gapps nano 2017-06-19.

After a reboot it doesn't find my SIM Card.

Trying to flash a stock MODEM via heimdall doesn't change anything.

I also tried multiple things, with the PE1 Modem i got Bootloops and with the custom Bootloader postet here, it hang on the "Galaxy S3" Loading screen.

After such a failed attempt, i first reinstalled TWRP and Stock Android again.

Any Help here ?

Anyone who got it running with current Files, what did you do ?

Really like this ROM, want to report some points and have a couple of questions.

I'm on the 20170614 build right now, so some of these might have been fixed already.

Bugs:

Fully charging the battery causes the phone to reboot. This doesn't happen every time but no indication towards what causes this.

Battery drains really quick when mobile data is used. To be fair it is a 2+ year old battery but I had an instance where battery would die withing 3 hours of full charge.

Graphical performance is a bit weird in apps. Games that make use of particles are apparently really heavy, dropping frames left right and centre.

Blocking mode is turned on while in a call. Not sure if this is intended but apparently I can't get a different call while already in one.

Network coverage drops randomly and then the SIM gets initialised again but without need of PIN. I've had this happen in calls, only to fix itself within 5-10 seconds.

MTK host app crashes once per power cycle, but only if system apps try to get access to the file system. It is inconsistent, though 3rd party explorers or music players don't seem to cause this.

Actively using the phone while WiFi or mobile data is on makes the device heat up really rapidly.

Random reboots while listening to music.

Opened apps persist through power cycles. Is this intended?

Questions:

Can I flash a custom kernel over this? Would it break anything?

The updater does download the latest weekly build but is unsuccessful in installing it automatically. I have TWRP, is that unsupported?

Do I have to clean flash every time? What would happen if I flashed dirty? I'd like to have this as a daily driver, but wiping data and reinstalling apps is a bit of a hassle for me.

This one might be a bit off topic, but is there a chance this ROM gets FM support?

I'm willing to be helpful, if you tell me how to take system wide logs and that they would be useful

Gapps issue - crashes

Guys, I need your help.

I am flashing newest nightly build (lineage-14.1-20170705-nightly-i9305-signed.zip) on my i9305 using CWM (v6.0.3.1) without Gapps. I have wiped cache \ system \ data \ dalvik cache.

After reboot phone is working properly.

So I tried to install latest Gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170705) and after reboot I am receiving multiple errors regarding Google Apps that they are stopped working and I am not able to use phone as these errors are showing one after another.

I have wiped everything again (cache \ system \ data \ dalvik cache), installed LineageOS and gapps before reboot - still the same errors and gapps crashes.

I tried to flash older build (lineage-14.1-20170628-nightly-i9305-signed) and older gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170119) in different combination (before reboot, after reboot) and still have the same errors.

Is it possible that this issue is caused by using CWM instead of TWRP for instalation?

Or maybe someone already had similar issue?

[SOLVED]

I have installed latest TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305.img) via Heimdall (heimdall-suite-1.3.2-win32) and after this I have installed on phone lineage-14.1-20170705-nightly-i9305-signed.zip + open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170705.zip + addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip and everything is working fine now.

Hello,

I was on the latest version of LineageOS on my GT-I9305.

This weekend I have tried to create an invite profile, normally, through the Android profile interface.

Doing this has destroyed my network access : Now, I cannot receive SMS and I cannot make a call... =/

1. Is it a known problem ?

The phone ask me a "network unlocking code". I have tried to understand what happens and I think my /efs partition is corrupted and I have no backup of this partition.

I still can see my IMEI in Android but I don't have the /efs/nv_data.bin file. I think the invite profile creation has deleted it.

2. Can you help me ? How can I do for restoring my phone call and SMS ?

3. Just to be sure it's normal : do you have the file /efs/nv_data.bin in you efs folder ?

For now I have tried to come back in an official Android 4.4.4 Samsung ROM, but the problem is still here.

However, I can now use the Qualcomm NV Tools from here https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/tool-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546, but I don't know what to do.

I can read in Secure Ops. :

ESN : 0

MEID : 0

IMEI : (my IMEI)

4. Is everything normal ? Can I recreate here the lost nv_data.bin ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
