Hi!
I'm new to the ambiances of Replicant, and in first of all, let me congratulate and show my utmost respect for this project.
I'll call it a diamond in nowadays PRISM et al world.
To put it to use, I've bought a used Samsung SIII (i9300), for my old one was not charging anymore (hardware fault?).
And yet while using heimdall and reproducing the steps, like indicated -- or I guess I did -- maybe I've missed something:
- the OS was sucessfully installed; or at least it booted in Replicant.
- no SIM card was recognized; no IMEI indication as well;
- installed stock rom; no SIM card recognized as well;
- Installed lineage; no SIM card recognized.
- IMEI doesn't appear anywere;
- Reinstalled Replicant.
Device with Replicant although without comms.
But if its modem drivers work, I'll sure use it as my daily driver: GSM is needed to be in touch :-)
Can this be related to some nvram, baseband overwritten? Is my device "modem-bricked"?
Is there something I can do to restore GSM for it? It was working before I tried to install Replicant.
Best Regards
