My advice is use Linux, I use Ubuntu 16.04. I was worried about downloading a custom recovery from terminal emulator or adb shell but I found a superb website with line to line instructions, I’ve spent the last 48 hours trying to find it but can’t.Īre you using windows still? I could not get Windows to recognize the phone from Odin. When you have it, updating is easy, put a copy of the new ROM on the SD card, use the backup and recovery from the device and choose the SD card, then restore, it works. Whatever you do before wiping, make a backup copy of the rom, I did not and nearly bricked the phone. Load the file onto the linux computer, I usedĮ-0.9-n-2020051153544-dev-i9300.zip on the computer and side loaded on the second page of options on the device, do one then the other with the lead attached. Sideload as they suggest was the only way it worked. Install e from custom recovery, ie set the phone to recovery home, vol UP and power. Heimdall installed easily follwing the e doccumentation for our phone. I used an SD card to load TWRP twrp-3.3.1-0-i9300.img that worked for me. Ignore anything to do with OEM unlock it was not loaded on the S3. I also found the device dropped out using windows
What finally put me onto Linux is there is no release of Heimdall for windows you have to build it. I tried but could not get Windows to work I have Windows 10. Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/ the unGoogled mobile OS and online was a complete beginner but managed to get /e/ on my SGS3 i9300 from 4.3 more by not giving up than following the instructions which are not simple to follow. The OEM unlock option is not visible in the developers options. It seems, the OEM Lock is the problem, but how to unlock it? I cant find any other way. I tried heimdall (1.4.0) “print-pit” in manually activated download mode, it says “Failed to detect compatible download-mode device”. I tried to connect the phone with Odin 3.04 or 3.13 on a Windows 7 machine, Odin gets no connection to the phone while in download mode. The same behaviour when I try this on a linux mint machine.Īfter manually activated download mode I tried “fastboot flash recovery twrp.img”, it says “waiting for device” and nothing else happens. But when I try “reboot bootloader”, the phone reboots the Android 4.3. When connected to a Windows 7 machine, the S3 is visible in adb. Developer options are activated, but OEM unlock option is not visible. We are talking about an I9300 with Android 4.3 in factory reset, no root, completely original. Hi, I like to install /e/ on my SGS3 I9300 and startet with the attempt to install twrp recovery.
