Baseband is the same. But my bootloader (as CPU-Z state) is different.

I've got I9301IXXSAWA1

And about what [MENTION=9154098]mariocaraf[/MENTION] wrote - are there other lineage os versions?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
You misunderstood [MENTION=9154098]mariocaraf[/MENTION].

I never saw that bootloader. Which is the stock ROM you used? Can you download device info hw from Playstore and check again your bootloader.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Reedu:
I'm sorry. I've misstyped it.

It was "Q" not "W" - too close to each other ^^

I9301IXXSAQA1
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
OK, now its clear. Your Bootloader is from january 2017. I recommend to update it to the latest version (2018).

Follow this guide.

If you are still on LOS16

0) Make a Backup of pictures... in your internal storage...

1). Boot into twrp. Make a backup of "System", Data" and Boot"

2.) If you dont have Backup of "EFS". Make a Backup of "EFS" and Store it on a safe place on your desktop pc or better a cloud.

3) Boot into download mode

4) Start Odin 3.13.1 with admin rights on your desktop. In Options untick "Auto-reboot"

5) Connect your phone to desktop pc, odin should now recognize it!

6) Flash greece Stock rom for 3-4 times to update bootloader(sometimes its working at the first attempt, sometimes not...)

7 ) Flash twrp 3.3.1.1

8) Boot into twrp, allow modifications

9) Do a full wipe, wiping everything except "sc-card", usb-otg".

10) Flash LOS16, optional gapps and optional root

11) Reboot (Do not install twrp APP!!)

12 Check if bootloader has upgraded. Otherwise repeat the steps!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Reedu:
Success on first attempt. Everything working. No more bootloop after powering on phone.

Maybe a bit more consumes the battery for wifi, but it is a small problem :)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] ALEXIS_0071:
hello friends I have the samsung s3 i9300i duo with the rom of 20200418, I would like to know if the others happen to you the same, that the phone suddenly restarts, and the wifi is not stable it connects and disconnects and so it happens all day
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
I couldn't 100% answer because i have I9301I, but your problems shouldn't be normal.

Have you updated your bootloader before flashing LOS16?

Bootloader "I9300IZZHBQB1" should be good!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
they don't read!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
Yes, like always.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] asheesh131:
hi

hey [MENTION=4358472]ALEXIS_0071[/MENTION] i am myself using i9300i duos but i haven't had any issues till date....what you can do now is download the latest russian BQB1 firmware and odin via odindownloader.com and flash it and then check your bootloader if it has changed or not from the app called DevCheck. so then if ur bootloader is BQB1 then flash the latest twrp recovery, reboot in twrp and format everything besides preload and sd card and flash the lineage rom and gapps
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
I agree the most, but i ABSOLUTLY recommend to also wipe PRELOAD!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
yes, because otherwise traces of the samsung firmware remain, sorry: google translator!

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
It's necessary to update your bootloader. Have you already done that?

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
I heard some people with this problem, but I never had it by myself. Maybe you made wrong settings in LOS16
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
Hi, du musst aufpassen, dass du nicht Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichst. Heute ist stark bewölkt, das sind natürlich andere Voraussetzungen als wenn klarer Himmel ist. Kann natürlich trotzdem sein, das bei CrDroid etwas besser konfiguriert ist (Hardware ist ja die selbe...) (system/etc/gps.conf kannst du mit root bearbeiten...) . Ich bekomme den 3D-Fix auch in der Wohnung, meist mit 6-8 Satelliten. Heute hab ich in der Wohnung deutlich weniger (4-5). Bin grade auch ein paar Kilometer gefahren, einmal kurz 7 Satelliten ansonsten fast konstant 6 aber auch mal nur 4 verbunden... , normalerweise ca. 9. --> Also deutlich wetterabhängig...

Genauigkeit heute während der Fahrt war auch mal bei 50 Meter, bei klarem Himmel bekomme ich in der Wohnung schon mal auf 15 Meter. und weniger..

Wenn dir GPS ganz wichtig ist kann ich dir CM11 oder CM12.1 empfehlen, da da die Glonass-Satelliten genutzt werden können, du so also nochmals mehr Chancen hast dich mit mehr Satelliten zu verbinden. Bei mir in der Wohnung hab ich mit CM11 und CM12.1 aktuell 2 verbundene Glonass-Satelliten, dass macht dann schon was aus, wenn zu den 4 oder 5 GPS-Satelliten noch 2 oder 3 Glonass dazu kommen. Die genannten CM - Versionen haben auch den Vorteil, dass da die Kamera vollumfänglich funktioniert.

anbei mal ein Screenshot von meinem LOS16, im Haus, von grade eben. Dauerte etwas länger als sonst aber trotzdem gute Werte
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Aufhellblitz:
Hi,

Das Wetter und die Glonass-Satelliten habe ich völlig außer acht gelassen bei meinen Betrachtungen.

Hach CM11 - Nostalgie pur; einfache Version und sparsam und gut. Und ja, CM12.1 war für mich fast die beste Version - auch was das USB-Managment sowie der Umgang mit der sd-Karte betrifft und andere Kleinigkeiten betrifft (nur etwas "zähflüssiger als 7.1.2). ;)

Sonst wäre ja LOS 16 hervorragend für mich. Alles funzt bis GPS. Ich habe sogar die gps.conf von crDroid mal übernommen. Wobei ich die app "FasterGPS" mit Einstellung "Europe & Germany" auch ausprobiert hatte.

Da kommt mir ein Gedanke:

Könnte man nicht die crDroid-Module die für GPS zuständig sind, einfach in /system/.. kopieren? Oder müsste man da den Kernel dafür neu kompilieren? :)

|/Gruß

|\laus

Hier noch ein inside-crDroid-7.1.2 Screenshot von heute - mit ca. 1 min. Wartezeit:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
Moin, ob einfaches kopieren funktioniert weiß ich nicht, glaube aber eher nicht. Vorallem nicht von Android 7.1.2 auf 9.0. Aber wissen tue ich es nicht. Wenn du ein Rom neu flasht, kann es auch länger dauern, bis die Satelliten verbunden werden, habe mal gehört ein Durchlauf kann 12,5 Minuten dauern. Aber ich hatte subjektiv auch mal den Eindruck, dass es mit AOKP (Android 7.1.2 ) schneller geht als mit LOS (Android 7.1.2).
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Steve-o-1978:
Hi all,

Just wanted to report that I got my phones patched and working with Lineage 16 on 2 x Samsung S3 Neo's.

Steps:

1) Thanks to Humaxxx, get the latest stock rom first. The stock rom can be downloaded from several sites.

2) Second, install TWRP.

3) Get the latest version of the new Rom (Sony or Samsung) and upload it to the phone /sdcard/

4) Get OpenGaps latest version or MindtheGapps (didn't test this one) and upload it to the phone /sdcard/

5) Wipe data with factory wipe, followed by Advanced Wipe in TWRP.

6) Install Rom and don't forget to check add another Zip, select OpenGapps or MindtheGapps. It will install the 2 zip files.

7) Finally... and I think this ruined my first couple of attempts. Once both are installed, clear cache Divalik and after that Reboot.

Now in my install, if I choose reboot, I can uncheck 2 boxes from TWRP which is asking to download as an app on the phone. Choose don't install TWRP as an app.

After that, boom!, presto, I got it working.

Took about 2 / 3 mins and got it installed. I already checked and on my phones GPS is working, camera is working, can't or haven't checked SIM card yet.

I'm happy. BIG thanks to Humaxxx for guiding me and BIG thanks to the developers who have made Lineage 16 work on an old phone which is still too young to die.

Cheers mates,

Steve

GPS

Regarding GPS:

I tested los16 again with extended wipe:

- Dalvic Art Cache

- System

- Data

- Cache

- Preload

(otherwise I have always made a factory reset):

1) Weather is just fine here.

2) GPS test on the windowsill

3) AGPS - clear and update

4) GPS fix for the first time (much longer than 10 minutes)

I should anyway GPS set to Europe/Germany e.g. mit FasterGPS app?

(somewhat later: I have set "de.pool.ntp.org" in gps.conf by hand)

Attached my screenshot:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] saman9074:
Hi, I installed ROM a few days ago.

The SIM card was detected and the camera was also identified.

I had the following problems working with my phone for several days:

1: When someone calls or I call, no sound

2: The internet works very poorly on the SIM card, sometimes it does fine when I restart the phone, but after a few times of using and turning the internet on and off, it crashes again.

3: The phone clock settings resets after each restart, returns to 8 October 2019, and is not automatically updated over the internet and network.

Is it compatible with migisk 20?

It has the advantage over lineage os version 14.1 , The user interface is very light and the phone is less hot, great if you help fix these issues. Thanks
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Steve-o-1978:
Hi all,

I made some more tests with the phones.

I also have the same bug where if you restart the phone it resets back to October 8th 2019, after a few minutes it picks up on network time and it changes to the correct time.

I haven't had any time to test with sim card yet.

Also I have noticed I can't install the Google Assistent app. I haven't found a correct solution to this. Searched the internet but no recent Youtube movies or website manuals on how to do this.

Cheers,

Steve

I've tested dual sim version (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962603652), everything's almost fine but the phone doesn't save date and time after reboot unlike previous LineageOS 15.1.

NFC possible?

Hey, I tested your Rom today and so far everything worked fine, excepted NFC...

Do you believe it's possible to add the NFC function to the rom?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] perkoto27:
We have never had NFC working on the S3 Neo on any rom apart from the original firmware. I don't expect that it would be able to be added.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
For Google Assistant you have to install a APK. In Playstore it's not possible. I add latest version here. You also have to install Google app.

For time reset Bug i add a fix which should work, after flashing and (maybe 2) rebootd
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:
Devs are working to get it official, then there are updates via updater possible.

Time bug I have added a fix 1 post above.

Which weather service do u want to use? U have to install one!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Aufhellblitz:
Ahh, many thanks for the info. The weather service is not so important to me anymore. Because I have a nice weather app (weawow) installed now. :)

But a minor problem I still have: The automatic turning of the display does not work well. This feature will be lost after a few minutes (not always, but sometimes).

At this point I have to thank the developers for the LOS 16 version :) Keep it up :good::good:

Not the live display, I mean the automatic turning (das automatische Drehen) when phone in use.

At the moment, the automatic turning is gone again, hmmm.. maybe is an energy save setting?

If I start e.g. OpenCamera and close, the screen remains horizontally aligned :(

I think I found the cause, it's Nova launcher - presumably. Can anybody confirm this?

short time later:

no, it's not nova launcher, because Trebuchet also appears
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Humaxxx:

i'm pretty much aware abt whatever i have done....i have clean flashed last 3 versions of the rom and in all of these versions i have experienced this problem....the only alterations i have done with the rom is that i have removed some apps from the rom (jelly browser, music, aosp keyboard, weather widget, calendar and email app) and replaced mixer_paths.xml to that of stock because the lineage roms sound system is relatively low compared to the stock.....here check my screenshot

lineage os 16.0 I'm having trouble with GPS! I reboot the phone and open the gps and test it outdoors it finds 10 satellites. then I open the maps, it works for 5 minutes, then the 3d status goes (no location is determined) but it continues to find 10 satellites. then I turn off the GPS and turn it on again, there is no signal, and only GLONASS satellites that do not receive signals are visible.

and then I do clear a-gps and update 2 minutes later, the gps starts working. It continues to work for 5 minutes. then the GPS signal is broken.

I have the latest greece stock rom installed and my bootloader is up to date. GPS works fine in stock ( google translate used :/ )

gps ile sorun yaşıyorum! telefonu yeniden başlatırım ve gps açıp açık havada test ederim 10 uydu bulur. sonra haritaları açıyorum 5 dakika çalışıyor sonra 3d status gidiyor (konum belirlenmiyor) ama 10 uydu bulmaya devam ediyor. sonra gps kapatıyorum ve tekrar açıyorum hiç sinyal yok ve sadece sinyal almayan GLONASS uyduları gözüküyor.

ve sonrada clear a-gps and update yapıyorum 2 dakika sonra gps çalışmaya başlıyor. 5 dakika kadar çalışmaya devam ediyor. sonra aynı şekilde gps sinyali bozuluyor.

ben en son yunanistan stock rom yüklü ve bootloader'im güncel. stok'ta gps gayet iyi çalışıyor (original text)

Maybe you have storagemanager enabled? This system-function can delete pictures and videos automatically! So its excatly what happened to you (but he should only remove backups and files older than 30 days) . Go to settings search for "storage" or "storage manager". Where exactly do you store your downloades pictures?

---------- Post added at 08:20 ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 ----------

GPS is working generally. But Glonass-Satellites are no mor used on some devices (also S3Neo), since LOS14.1.

GPS isn't the best on S3Neo, and always depends on your weather. so if its cloudy, the gps signal maybe weaker.

Try to setup your local gps server from Turkey.

For example, I set my gps server to German server "de.pool.ntp.org" and the quality of gps is on me a little better.

Edit the changes in /system/etc/gps.conf.

hope that helps
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] kullanici32:
I did what you said, but the problem still persists. When I first open the GPS, it finds the satellites perfectly (Finds at least 5 GPS 5/10 meter 3d fix) and I open the google maps and set off 5 minutes later the location stops. sometimes the satellites can not find the location. sometimes it does not find any satellites. If I wait for 5 minutes, it usually works. or I have to restart the phone (google translate used)

dediğinizi yaptım ama sorun hala devam ediyor. gps ilk açtığımda mükemmel bir şekilde uyduları buluyor (5 gps 3d fix) ve google haritaları açıp yola çıkıyorum 5 dakika sonra birden konum duruyor. bazen uyduları bulsada konum belirlenemiyor. bazende hiç uydu bulmuyor. 5 dakika beklersem genelde çalışıyor. yada telefonu yeniden başlatmak zorundayım (original text)
