Yes no problem.

In the attachment, you can see the security patch level and the update.

It is possible, that the LOS 17.1 no longer give updates?

"Warning: The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) is no longer maintained. A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support."

danwood76 thank you very much,

I had installed the new Lineage OS 18.1 last week.

It works great, I have no problems.

Now I can use my phone for a few more years.

Thank you (y)😍

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] :
I recently installed Lineage Os 17.1 on the a310f using the recommended install method for first time use. After I went through the set up, I noticed that the imei number was gone. After a few days it came back but disappeared every time a sim card was inserted. I did some research and found that flashing the stock rom would fix it. I restore stock from a twrp backup and the imei number was back but no sim card was detected. signal bars appeared before putting in a sim card but connection would disappear as soon as sim card was inserted. I then tried flashing the single file firmware for the device with odin but with no success. I tried installing Advanced Three based on stock, then back to Lineage but the problems still occur. Now I'm unable to use a mobile network. What should I do now?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] kurtn:
Try a different sim card?

Hi Jive,

I have tested this and it let my install family link children on my test A310F.

I was able to play around with all the restrictions and rebooted it several times.

Here is a flashable zip that will make the change for you:

3.7 KB file on MEGA

mega.nz

I tested this on my 18.1 builds but this should also work on 17.1.

Just be wary that you will need to reflash this file if you install an update or you will end up with an FRP after a couple of boots.

Kind regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Jive_c64:
Wow, Danny. That is so cool that you testet it. Thanks a lot.

I will give this a try.

About the update: That means that the automated updates distributed by lineageOS might cause an bootloop if I dont flash this one again before booting?

About 18.1: Is this version as well running well on the A3?

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:

I installed Lineage OS 17.1 for A3 2016 + Gapps Pico. It works perfectly.

I noticed that when the GPS is deactivated, the icon remains active in the icon bar at the time level. That's not embarassing.

I see the preparations for official LOS 17.1 are ongoing. It seems our device is up to now not added.(https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/hudson/+/267517) Is there anything blocking it? I see that a new requirement is now also the LOS Recovery(https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/charter/+/265936/4/device-support-requirements.md).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Recovery works.

The blocker for the A3 is the NFC HCE (google pay), this needs to work before we can be a shipped device.

I have not had enough time to work out whats going on, however I can reproduce it with Googles VTS software.

Thanks for the updates!

Are you considering a migration.zip for when official LOS 17.1 will be ready? I'm really intrigued to run your unofficial build as daily driver, but do not really want to set up my device from scratch when the A3 goes official. As the sources you use are identical to the LOS repo, I think a "dirty" flash from unofficial to official in the future should not be an issue, right? (Except the signing keys of course, because of which I am askign if you are planning to provide a migration.zip)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Yes, it will be the same migration zip as none of the keys have changed.

Just be aware that Google pay doesn't work yet in the 17.1 builds.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Showon:
Thank you for this wonderful ROM. It is the first ROM I have installed on this device and its really smooth and I wanted to use it as a daily driver. But here's the problem. I use an app called Jio Call which is required to make phone calls. It replaces VoLTE for the devices that don't support it. And now this app is not working on this ROM. It seems the app does not recognize that I have a Jio sim card ? :confused: Mobile Data works well though..... I'm going back to Stock ROM for now.

P.S. That "Mobile" option when pressed should say "Registering app with your Jio number" and take you inside the app. Instead it opens some link which gives a 404 error.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:

Hi, thanks for your releases but I'm in lineage os 15.1 because 16 and 17.1 stayed in bootloop in the first boot. I tried to do all I read in lineage os 16 topic and here.

I see when i installed this build TWRP didn't see an installed os. I reeboot and had a bootloop. With opengapps TWRP see an installed os, but lineage stato in bootloop in the first boot.

Hi [MENTION=6707196]danwood76[/MENTION], this LineageOS 17.1 runs very well without any noted glitch, with the exception (at least for me) that 1) the dirty flashing of today's update reboots to twrp after being stuck for about 5' in Lineage animation; 2) restoring any backup (I made a few on ext sdcar) won't save a compromised situation as all stuck in boot animation, in other words, either all backups are somehow corrupted though there's no error warning, or there's a problem with the restore process with this build.

Only solution for me was to reinstall everything, no complaining!

xda won't let me upload log files (captcha)

Noted though that after clean flashing again the today's update and the pico-10 gapps, it boots normaly into an updated configuration (in fact the configuration I made the first backup without Magisk nor audio mods) only Build Number has changed to "lineage.....danny.20200229"

Other than that, I really appreciate your LineageOS 17.1, thanks again for sharing your good work.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Carlosrody:
That did hapen to me a few builds ago, and i found that if you do a dirty flash with the build and with Open gapps on a row, all is ok.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Occasionally opengapps doesn't get restored in the update, wipe system and cache and then reinstall the ROM + opengapps + Magisk.

I've not dug into the cause but it might be caused by TWRP. I will release the lineage recovery at done point, it might work better.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Carlosrody:
Do you have the latestTWRP for A3(2016)? Install Build + Opengapps in the same row and after, when you hit restart, TWRP will ask you to install TWRP app . HIT NO.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] GreatPamela:
Thanks for your reply, I do It. I follow these steps in all my custom roms install. I don't known why i have this problem with Samsung A3 (16). I have the latest TWRP, lineage 15.1 has a perfect First boot, lineage 16 and 17.1 have a bootloop on lineage boot screen.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Can you try a completely clean flash (wipe system, data, caches) and only flash the ROM (no gapps, magisk, etc) and see if it boots?

Do you install the TWRP app at the end of the ROM install (it prompts you before rebooting)? That breaks newer gapps installs.

Regards,

Danny
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Wiltoncandido:

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] GreatPamela:
I tried with and without opengapps, I did installations with this step:

- wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data

- install lineage, opengapps and magisk

- never install TWRP app

I tried a complete data delete and After wipe dalvik cache,cache and system.

I tried not wipe system (i tried a lot of installations) .

I tried to install unofficial version and updated ti official with updater zip

and...ever a bootloop in the first boot.

My phone is an italian version, without brand mobile, before installed recovery by Odin I updated It at last version of official firmware.

I don't know, it's a good informations?

What gapps are you using?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Have you tried formatting the data partition?

It is a separate button in TWRP, it will erase your internal storage so make sure you have a backup!

Can you get me a dump of the /proc/last_kmsg file after a failed boot attempt (can usually be copied out in the TWRP file manager). That may shed some light on the issue.

It should be 2MB in size and you will need to upload it to google drive or similar and then PM me the link.

So, made a first test upgrade to this unofficial los17 today. A few things were shaky, like the initial setup process running into a timeout and forgetting its Wifi credentials in the process.

But nevertheless, I am stuck at mounting the (external) SD card now. I have one which was previously mounted as legacy storage, at /mnt/storage/$blkid and having ext4 filesystem with appropriate permissions, TTBOMK.

Now it complains about "unsupported SD card" and offers to configure it as mobile memory or smartphone memory, but any option wants to format the SD card.

Why so? I tried mounting the card manually but this went just that far:

a3xeltexx:/storage/emulated/0 # mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 $PWD/tmp -t ext2

mount: '/dev/mmcblk1p1'->'/storage/emulated/0/tmp': No such file or directory

What's up? Booting TWRP shows the same SD card properly mounted.

I made a backup before upgrading, but I still don't like mkfsing it for no good reason.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] freeman94:
The ROM is overally Good, but i have problem with the Play store it cant install or update apps, it is stuck in wait for download.

Cleaning cash restore store wipe dalvik it didnt help.

I think issue is on the build side.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Upgrading from official builds is not currently supported, you need to do a clean install.

ext4 on an SD card is asking for trouble. As a journaling filesystem ext4 will soon destroy the card. Exfat is your best bet for large cards/files. Even so it should still mount it as external storage, I will run a test here.

Btw your mount command is obviously wrong, either the mount point or the block device don't exist.

-- edit --

Ok, So I think the reason that ext4 doesn't mount automatically is due to needing this commit:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_system_vold/+/258169

I would still suggest switching to exfat over ext4 but I will include the vold patch set in my next build
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Works fine here. Either you installed bad gapps, installed them wrong or messed something else up.
