Description

I've got the 삼성 Galaxy S3 i9300, and I installed Replicant 6.0004RC onto it. This OS did not even recognise my SIM card. I then installed Replicant 6.0003, which had no effect. Finally, I installed Replicant 4.2, and there at least it said "searching for networks", but the process went on forever until the battery charge was used up.

Here is some information I was asked in the forum to share here; it's about the contract:

  • Germany
  • Flat rate
  • Congstar, a subsidiary of "Deutsche Telekom"
  • The (northern hemisphere) summer of 2017 (start of contract, reception of the SIM card)
  • Only to be used for phone calls, not for internet surfing (the Corona app is the only reason I bought the smartphone)

I've also created a rather large log file, which seems to indicate an endless loop. A sample line from that log file is this:

getSimState: default sim:-1, sim state for slotIdx=0 is 6, return state as unknown

Please do indicate whether I ought to supply additional content from that log file.
