Hey!
Sorry for the delayed response. For some reason I don't seem to get emails about issues.
How much power did the phone battery have when you did all this? U-boot won't boot into Linux or fastboot until the battery is at 5%. The yellow flashing light means it's waiting for you to plug it in, the red flashing light means it's charging.
Hi there,
I got an old S3 (I9300) on my hands and started following the guide from your blog.
I flashed the "boot part - TWRP" so I could access
/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
and everything went well. As the guide said, I backed up my EFS and my sboot partitions and pulled them to my computer.Finally, I pushed "u-boot-midas-2018-09-09.bin" and dd'd it to
/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
. After that, I did a sanity check with hexdump and everything seemed to be fine:So I proceeded to reboot the phone with "reboot download".
The phone powered off and a yellow led started blinking, after 2 seconds the yellow color changed to red (I didn't see blue as the guide says).
I assumed that at this point I was in fastboot so I tried the command "fastboot devices". However, it didn't return anything :(.
lsusb doesn't seem to be able to list the device:
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
