Stuck at boot
-
Hi,
I got my hands on a s3 and I'm trying to install UT through the installer.
My first problem is this point during the installation:
"Unplug and Replug
Wait until the phone has rebooted and shows a small red text. Unplug and replug once the USB cable"The phone restarts but it stays at the samsung galaxy SIII neo logo and there is no small red text no matter how long I wait.
If I unplug/plug and continue the installation seems to proceed and finishes. After that a red dot flashes at the screen for a while, then the phone reboots and stays at the boot screen (the one with the samsung galaxy SIII neo logo) indefinitely.
The only thing I want to point is that I think I didn't check the oem unlock bootloader option before the installation. Any Ideas as to how to proceed? -
Same issue with me.
The Installer pretended a sucessful installation :-((
The result is pretty annoying !

There might be something useful in here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3652/call-for-testing-samsung-s3-neo-s3ve3g-owners/97 until someone with this device arrives with more info.

After going again through the process, I finally got it up and running

@radius3
Great thing.
I'm glad you managed to install UT on your device.
You can mark the thread as solved using the topic menu (gear icon next to the reply button), "ask a question" and then "mark as solved". -
@radius3 how did you do it. I've tried several times with no results.
Also the s3 neo I got is the I9300I variant. Does this make any difference? -
@panagiotis The original port for the neo was here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3652/call-for-testing-samsung-s3-neo-s3ve3g-owners/96 Not having this device all I can think is that ports are very device and model specific so double check everything would be my advice.

@lakotaubp I know, but I couldn't figure out if the specific model was the right one so tried it anyway. Thanks!

I9300I
FYI thats mine which is working:
You should be able to get success with that, but any other serial might have troubles

Okay seem to have to revise the intaller and device documents, it seems there are 2 variants of the S3 Neo:
- S3 Neo (GT-I9300I)
- S3 Neo+ (GT-I9301I)
Theoretically our system image should be compatible with both, but it seems its not the case. For the time being I will add that only i9301 can be used. Lets see if we can work around this in a better way
-
@flohack That would be great, thanks!

As for the S3 Neo (GT-I9300I), the problem will probably be mainly that it should be dualsim.
You will probably need to build on this port: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/s3ve3gds
