it was lineage 7.1.
I just reformated /data to ext3, but no improvement.
There are two different kinds of s3 neos around. One with Sony and one with a Samsung camera module. May this be it (not sure which one I have. Will reflash android 5.1 (which one did you use) and then we'll see.
Thank you very much for your time and efforts,
Chris -
@zenfunk Hmm the camera should not block the UI to start, actually. Very weird also that you do not get ssh connection. Did you specify -p ut parameter when installing?
-
Actually I didn't use -p ut because the script then exits.
./halium-install -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img usage: ./halium-install rootfs.tar[.gz] system.img [release] positional arguments: rootfs.tar[.gz] system.img optional arguments: release: run common post installation tasks for release. supported: none, halium, pm, ut defaults : none
-
./halium-install ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img ut
works, I'm trying to boot as we speak. I keep you posted.
-
Well, with the above command I got to pick a unix password, but still hangs at the boot screen.
-
@zenfunk Hmm seems to be the wrong halium-install, how did you get it? The right one has the parameter -p ut as first argument.
-
I got it from there: https://gitlab.com/JBBgameich/halium-install/-/releases
I downloaded the zip file, unzipped everything, put the imagefiles in the folder as well and ran the script. -
@zenfunk Ohhh thats very old! The continous release is not working anymore it seems. Can you please try to clone the code instead directly? Have you got experience with git?
-
Funny, I just did this.
The -p ut option works now. dmesg output is:[ 9620.086869] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 20 using ehci-pci [ 9620.200193] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=d001, bcdDevice= 2.28 [ 9620.200199] usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 9620.200203] usb 2-1.2: Product: SAMSUNG_Android [ 9620.200206] usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG [ 9620.200210] usb 2-1.2: SerialNumber: Halium initrd Debug telnet on port 23 on rndis0 192.168.2.15 - also running udhcpd [ 9620.207225] rndis_host 2-1.2:1.0 eth0: register 'rndis_host' at usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2, RNDIS device, 00:00:00:00:00:00 [ 9620.250120] rndis_host 2-1.2:1.0 enp0s29u1u2: renamed from eth0 chris@funkbook:~$ ssh phablet@192.168.2.15 ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.15 port 22: Network is unreachable
On reboots I don't even get the RNDIS device.
Will start over...

I tried again with an 5.1 Android, used the cloned installer, used your heimdall, and now I don't even get to the ubuntu boot screen.
No clue what to do next.

Hmm sounds weird. what does dmesg say

@zenfunk Looks like now we are kinda stuck with the init. Can you send me again cmdline you used for halium-install?
-
I just found out that I linked the wrong halium-install release, in case you dont want to clone. Please use only this: https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install/releases
-
OK, I slept it over and also think that there is something wrong with halium-install.
I clone the script from git, put all the imagefiles in this folder and run:./halium-install -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img
Of course halium-install is not installed system whide that is why I have to use the ./ . I now think that there might be the culprit since your instructions don't use it.
When I use make, it gives me a script called halium-install-standalone.sh in a local bin folder which cannot be installed (no "make install" available). When I run hte standalone script it exits with an error BTW. I found no instructions about how to install the current halium- install system wide. I am sure chucking the script in /usr/bin won't do it :).Your link ( https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install/releases) gets me to a page where I don't see any link to download stuff, what am I missing?Edit: found it, it is under Assets. -
@zenfunk Ok seems standalone is broken a bit - I will remove the instructions to use it. Note that there is no option to install it systemwide, so its just a convenient way to not use git for cloning.
So please do only use the git clone method
-
With standalone I don't mean the zipped version. When you do "make" in the cloned folder a script gets creeated that is called halium-install-standalone.sh and that doesn't work.
With systemwide I meant that you seem to have your halium install script in your $PATH since you don't have a ./ in front of your "halium-install" command (if you have, your instructions are wrong).
I used the git clone files and they do not work on my setup (see the four last posts).

Hello, today I tried to install Ubuntu Touch on my S3 Neo by following your instructions. Sadly I hit a roadblock nearly instantly: My PC does not recognize my device once it enters boot mode (adb reboot bootloader) ADB works just fine, but once I reboot into the bootloader, the device is not recognized anymore. I tried every possible solution I could find on the internet. Here is what I tried:
-
Using different Cables, USB Ports and even PC's
-
Using different installs of ADB
-
Using sudo
-
Adding my device to /udev...(I don't remember the exact location of the file)
Sorry if this is a very obvious problem, but I don't know anything else to try at this point. If someone could help me or point me in the right direction, I would be very thankful.
Best Regards,
Speiburger -

@Speiburger Hi, what do you see on the device screen in this case, and whats the error output you got on the PC?
-
@Flohack The Device is in it's "Downloading, do not turn off" Mode. The same you can access by holding power and volume down. The PC just says "<waiting for any device>" and does not change untill I kill the program.
Thanks for your quick response!
