After flashing a new modem image on LineageOS, I managed to get service. 
This worked, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to translate the same 
success to replicant (still says no sim, even after re-flashing modem).

I also tested the non-free binary firmware, by copying from the 
LineageOS bin files to replicant, and bluetooth seemed to work (turned 
on), but no wifi.

It's worth noting that stock modem firmware (4.1.1) didn't work out of 
the box for LineageOS; the firmware which did can be found here: 
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-gt-i9305-t3542012

Of course, I do not recommend anyone use any of this firmware 
(proprietary), but it may help to solve (some of the) issues in 
replicant for this device.
