Fresh new install SIM LOCKED - PUK ERROR

So i've installed this new build and my happiness last 5 minutes.

My SIM card is not detected and when i passed to another phone asks for my PUK and says that the SIM is locked (zero attempts available)...

Now i have no SIM card but can enjoy the build on my forever prefered S3 :D

Any ideas on how to improve my situation?

I tried with another SIM card (PIN unlocked but stills not detecting)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bersem:
Turn off PIN Code in another phone if possible. If the SIM Card is completely locked ( no PUK Code remainings ) then contact your network provider for replacement card.

Did u made Nandroid backup before ? *#06# check IMEI. Made a EFS backup before ?

Regards !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ncmonteiro:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have no backups at all. And the SIM is locked for good.

I've contacted my network for a new SIM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] InTheY2K:
Mine won't boot. :(

Wiped everything. Dalvik, cache, internal storage, system and data. Flashed ROM and latest nano gapps. Got stuck on boot animation (for over two hours).

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I'm using TWRP 3.2.3-0. Could this be a problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max1306:
Try first reboot without charging cable. Repeat flashing without installing TWRP-app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] InTheY2K:
The cable was not connected. TWRP app not installed.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] James160103:
Tried that already but thought I'd just give it another go, still isn't booting. Formatted Data and then performed an Advanced Wipe (everything except USB OTG), then copied the ROM over from my PC. This is so weird. Never had this problem before. :confused:

EDIT: Finally got it to boot: I reflashed stock and then flashed TWRP, then the ROM! Thanks anyway for your replies!

Install again stock rom and then following the instructions to flash Lineage 16 included formating data. There is no another way for me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gedesby:
Is there another way, i cant find a nordic rom for free, and spending 7.50 eruo for something thats work at home but not on my workplace is a little to much " (recovering to stok firmware and then flash again)"

Alpha Firmware Problems

You don't need to root stock Samsung firmware to be able to install TWRP via Odin with the S3 in Download Mode so you can skip that step next time. ;)

"...no wifi on my workplace ???????" - Why the multiple??? The dev made clear in the post #1 & the thread title that @ the present it's in Alpha stage. It looks reproachful & not very nice to him. :eek:

Alpha is before Beta so expect crashes & multiple other problems. See Software release life cycle.

"Superb work bro... - Flowers before the pot & giving orders to the dev: "Update as soon as possible". :eek:

The dev [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] is an unpaid volunteer working on those firmwares in his free time, does what he wants when he wants & that's cool with me. :good: :cool:

So I was kinda giving up on my 6 year old so, until I saw your ROMs!!! It's really amazing how I can tell my friends that my s3 got pie earlier than their S9s or Huaweis ?. It's in alpha and bugs are expected, but I can live with those. Keep up the good work man!!! And thanks for keeping this phone alive!!!!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] InTheY2K:
I did select the correct gapps. Still, this ROM won't boot.

However, I managed to install LOS 17.1 today. Worked immediately as expected. So I guess TWRP is not the problem.

Thank you for your great work!

I have a naive question:

There is a official Lineage 16 Rom for the Samsung S3 neo.

https://download.lineageos.org/s3ve3gxx

I use it with a S3 neo and it works great. Also SIM-card-PIN, GPS and GLONASS works.

I don't know if the difference is so big between the two devices.

Is it not possible to edit the S3neo's ROM for the S3 i9300?

Max
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hasan.sy:
bro there is big difference between them

i9300 has exynos 4412 , i9300i has snapdragon 400 chipset so you cant use same rom on another one
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max1306:
v 20200920 is working with dirty flssh.

The battery consumption is very high. Maybe it will level out. I will continue testing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max1306:
I cannot confirm the problem that the GPS fix breaks off. I have tested with AndroiTS (which unfortunately is no longer available) and with this app GPS-Test https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.android.gpstest.osmdroid/.

Maybe you should try to record a track (Open Tracks : https://f-droid.org/de/packages/de.dennisguse.opentracks/) or use another GPS-app.

With GPS-Test you can also delete the auxiliary data, i.e. reset GPS.

I just clean flashed build 7 together with the latest nano opengapps. Could be that flashing didn't work for you because of a buggy opengapps version, you could try again with the newest version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] InTheY2K:
It didn't boot even without gapps.

But I'm now on LOS 17.1 and quite happy with it. Except for one bug.

First of all thank you for keeping this device still alive.

I have one S3 my daughter using it, have no sim card, just for a installing stupid games. Than I decide it to use for online lessons. Tried to clean install but can't finish because of error 7.

I installed succesfully before thats why I didn't change or erase any script from rom but tried to update twrp version. Because I tought that reason of install error7 is a twrp version.

After I update to latest twrp vers install progress even doesn't start.

My question is which twrp version do I need for install ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max1306:

But my phone is i9300 samsung s3.

How can i solve

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vuralemre:
Finally i flashed it.

But there was sim pin before.

Now sim card completely blocked.

What can i do for this? I cant use sim card on any phone...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hasan.sy:
put sim in another device and remove pin lock
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vuralemre:
I tried. I cant use sim card any (another) pagine..

I guess its gone
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vuralemre:
Rom cant read sd card.

I mounted sd card from recovery.

But while rebooting system, recovery unmounts sd card and then reboots.

How does rom read sd card?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Switch123456789:
I am pretty sure Android OS is mounting storage devices independently to the recovery-software. If Android is unable to read it, try to reformat it. Try ext4 and fat and try it in recovery and via PC. Also check settings>storage in Android OS.

Is there any way for granting notification access ?

In this rom notification access is not available. I want to know if there really is a way to do this ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baraza01:
Great Rom, huge thanks to the developer, having a small problem that may be unique to me, anybody else having an unresponsive USB connection when switching to data transfer? everything works well apart from this small issue. A solution would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mohammadne82:
I have the same issue .If you remove your cable and reconnect again it will be connected.( I suggest you to change the default usb configuration to data transfer in developer settings ) Try more to get connected. I hope that the developer fix this problem and add notification access soon. Thank you .Mr.chrono.:giggle:

Don't ask for Update. That's a general Xda Rule! Dev will release when he thinks it's time!!

15.1 vs 16

battery is same as los 15.1 and both of them didnt reach overheat.

but battry light when you plug your charger in is not going to On ( notification light).

and its very annoying me . i did not find any solution for that .

then i go back to los 15.1 last ver uploaded by chrono and fix root problem by magisk and now its working good.

in los 15.1 still camera 1 or camera 2 has problems and need for restart your phone sometimes. i think if we couldnt find any solution for new camera its better to next update to remove the new camera and put back in the camera was in los 14.1 .

[ Im using los 15.1 now and waiting for new updates from both of 15.1 and 16 for tsting them and share my exp ]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gonbad:
no need magisk for los 16.0 . root access working properly . just go to devloper option and enable root access .

but for los 15.1 root access did not work good . but you can flash magisk and use it .

magisk easily flashed and work in los 15.1 :good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] flynn1411:
Well, for the camera problem you could try the old reliable. Download Terminal Emulator from Play Store and your phone needs to be rooted. Open the Terminal app and the write " su ", you'll be asked permission to use root. If you see a " # " instead of the " $ " then your app has been granted permission. After that just write " killall cameraserver " after pressing enter you're good to go. Remember that before doing this close the app that was requesting to use the camera in order for it work properly. Hope it helps!!! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vevaxeliko:
Thank you so much for your great effort

The Rom is very wonderful, but I would like to say some of my notes are even developed, I noticed after installing the rom they consume all ram of which makes the mobile very slow and hangs a lot especially if you use multi-user, why AppOps is broken , it's make rom unsafty and there is no security in this rom , We are waiting for an updated version of you to solve the problems of ROM and repair problems that do not work, and make it safety and protect privacy

And kindly try the orbot vpn program and make it work on this ROM

Thank you again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vevaxeliko:
Privacy Guard and advanced don't work

Battery light don't work

SIM Lock don't access form first time you must remove battery and replace it again

Lock screen - When you open the lock screen you see last page you use it before password screen

I just wanted to say thank you for the Pie experience in our Galaxy S3 I9300! If only their was a way to add RAM to this phone, it would make this better than those mid-range phones released in 2018. I don't know about you but I have been using my phone since I got it and been to CM10.1, CM12.1 then Cyanogen dropped the name so I've got LOS14.1. Now I have LOS16.0! Alpha but better in the following terms:

- battery charging is faster

- animation is better

- the whole Pie UI is a given but to have it in a 6+ year old phone? DAMNNNN!!!

I also use my phone as a tool and not as a fashion item. It's better to say "I have an S3 running Android Pie" than... "I have an S9".

So it's my 3rd day of use with this firmware, so far so good. I would assume issue with OMX that's why we have some video playback issues. Also my biggest challenge is to unroot this firmware as I use it for work with MS InTune Company Portal. It keeps saying that phone is compromised even though I have remove su and the superuser.rc file. Maybe I need to edit the ramdisk of the boot.img, I dunno. It's been a while since I had my hands dirty on fixing/customizing/modifying ROMS to my liking.

Just to add, I only needed to install Magisk and hide root from my corporate apps and it worked.

So far no reboots nor app crash. Not that I use a lot of apps. It also helps to add /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg containing only the line below:

0 1 mali. This should force all graphics composition to GPU - not sure if that still applies to new ROMS but I do feel that it runs better that I can patiently play Helix Jump
[Galaxy S III Android Development] winuxguy:
Hey be sure you are not on f2fs file system on both cache and data. Also when wiping, do a Format Data not advanced wipe. See if that works.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] VIRGIN KLM:
I may not own the device but the S3 is the absolute reference point of what gives me hope and joy on AOSP based projects but most importantly it compliments and shows what xda really is.

Considering that the S3 *essentially* skipped as a whole Oreo I was starting to get disappointed and it felt like it was the end for the interest for many people with the device.

I am so glad to be proven wrong.

No matter what the outcome of this project may be, I have to applaud the determination of the devs of this ROM and everybody that contributed through the years for such thing to ultimately be possible.

Thank you for giving us hope.

You keep this place running.

This ROM is frontpage material.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] winuxguy:
So Magisk is not 100% working maybe about 95%. It caused a recovery boot only so I am back with the alpha build all together. Gonna wait for new year. Happy New Year everyone!!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] winuxguy:
Wow! For an Alpha to work just fine for me, I must say, this will be easily released as stable and soon be Official in Lineage. This like my 2nd week with the firmware and so far, I only had an issue booting up with the Magisk installed but removed Magisk and everything is ok. I can live with the lockscreen bug and without Microsoft InTune Company Portal for now.
