Checked after reading your reply and the info on that label is: MODEL: GT-I9301I (I don't know whether that last letter is capital 'i' or lowercase 'L' because the font is non-serif but I assume it is the former) FCCID: A3LGTI9300I SSN: I9301IGSMH Now that I see it is not i9305, I am quite baffled, as I am pretty sure that while using the stock ROM I saw somewhere "9305". Obviously, I am mistaken. A strange thing: I am reading on various sites that "Neo" is dual-SIM but this particular device is single SIM. > - Have you verified that the recovery images you're flashing are > specifically meant for the i9305 variant of the Samsung Galaxy S3? Considering the above, I guess that doesn't matter now but - yes, I have double checked signatures and checksums. > - Have you verified the sha256 checksum of the downloaded recovery > files match those posted on the download page of each recovery?

The cable is fine. I have used that same cable to successfully flash and ADB-manage other Replicant devices. > For some additional info, what operating system are you using, openSUSE Tumbleweed > and where did you acquire Heimdall? >From openSUSE's official repo.

Yes. > I'm no expert but hope I can be of some help. I hope too! Reading this: https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/27/topics/6501 I suppose Replicant is not an option. I wonder if I can find at least some good LineageOS version.
