RMLL Montpellier: Help with installing Replicant on GT-I9300 - different manufacturer not Samsung
Added by comment commander over 10 years ago
Hi,
my phone is a clone of Samsung Galaxy S3 and it came to my attention that you got it working except of GPS and front camera which both I don't really need. Rather than turning GPS off is to not have any drivers for it (same with frontcamera).
Now I was searching for experiences with Cyanogen or replicant to install it on this phone, it is GT-I9300 with same hardware but different look and feel.
The manufacturer is Prestigio, model name is "PAP 4040" and includes android 4.2. with manufacturer's branding. Phone is not rooted because I don't like downloading "superoneklick" proprietary crap ...
Though, I am not a poweruser. Since I prefer debian and free software I would consider myself as responsible and medium-experienced root. I don't want to brick my phone.
Is there any possibility to help me with installing Replicant at RMLL Montpellier? I am trying to get a cheap flight to get there.
And if not: any ideas how to get assitance in this somehow somewhere?
Thank you and all the best..

There will be a week-long Free Your Android even that will be dedicated to that sort of things, so definitely, yes. However maybe you can perform the operations yourself and save the cost of a flight, but if you're really worried about getting a brick, we'll be able to safely see what we can do at the RMLL.
If the device is really the same, you should be able to access download mode as explained through the install instructions for I9300: GalaxyS3I9300Installation.
