TWRP replicant 6.0 and the SGS3 i9300 (bricked phone?)
Added by Divan Santana over 8 years ago
Hi All
So I have a question regarding trying to install zip files via the recovery on replicant 6.0 on the sgs3 i9300.
Is it the best way to install zip files (Trying to install the "exchange_fix"[1])
I would expect it to be quite easy via the recovery. Though from recovery I select "apply update" -> "choose from emulated" and it says failed, failed to mount /data. (my phone is encrypted).
sudo adb sideload fails with the same error.
I've attempted downloading latest version (twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img).
Then I ran this as root
dd if=/sdcard/Download/twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 <
10+1 records in
10+1 records out
5218 bytes transferred in 0.302 secs (17278 bytes/sec)
root@i9300:/ # sync
After a reboot I get "Downloading...".
Also adb devices now shows nothing. A little concerning.
Bricked phone?
Any help is appreciated.

Ok recovery fixed via
heimdall flash --BOOT twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img --RECOVERY twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img
Now to get it to boot the system... (keeps booting into recovery instead)

Have you tried holding the following key combination: Volume down + Select + Power (after removing / reinserting your battery) to get into the regular download mode?
If this possible, you could reflash your recovery by
heimdall flash --BOOT path/twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img --RECOVERY path/twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img
If not, consider to get/buy a USB "Jig" Dongle to unbrick/fix the download mode of your i9300...

Ok all resolved fortunately. Thanks :)
heimdall flash --BOOT twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img --RECOVERY twrp-3.0.0-2-i9300.img
Then did
adb sideload replicant-6.0.zip
No data loss and TWRP now working.

Jip, these steps are listed in the installation wiki, too: http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS3I9300Installation#Installing-the-images
Glad that you made it.
