[Q] Warranty in US and Canada

Hi there, International Galaxy Note community. I have a question I'd like you ask about when purchasing the International Note for use in North America.
Is there a valid warranty for the international Note if I purchase it in a different country and then use it in North America? Specifically Canada. If there is a valid warranty for the Note in Canada, can someone provide me with the terms of the warranty when in Canada?
Thank you for your help, International Note community.

Good luck with that one....
I have just spent the last 3 months searching for usb ports and mainboards, repair shops in Canada, Europe and the U.S., Ebay for for broken N7000s and getting things working on Bell's network. And as of 15 minutes ago, I'm finally done fixing the last detail on the Note, and its back to normal. But what an ordeal it was...
Somebody else can tell you about the warranty. But you're probably on your own with this one. So your options if you have a hardbrick;
Search threads for a successful recovery..
Jtag repair...http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note/
Ebay (like me..) for a broken screen N7000, which I used to replace my the motherboad and USB port. Mine was $265...
I would say hunt for a M/B. But the search was long, with many dead ends (Europe) and language barriers (India and Asia). And there are repair shops in Europe, but no shop will ship a phone via air (Thanks to 9/11).
Hope this cuts down on some of your search to repair your Note.

Oh, no. I don't have a damaged Note. I was just looking to purchase one since I'm somewhere in Asia and have the possibility of picking up the international version. I just wanted to know about possible repair options if it ever did break.
So pretty much if I purchase a Note and it breaks down one day, then I am on my own. Correct?

[Q] Galaxy S5 At&t motherboard question.

Hello. My name is David. First off I just want to apologize if this question is already posted on the forum somewhere. Will a Samsung Galaxy S5 motherboard from At&t fit on any other housings besides it's own housing. I guess what I'm saying is will it fit on a verizon, sprint, tmobile, etc, housing. Any advice or answers will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou, David

I believe the motherboard is the same on all 3 US carriers, just the software is different to some degree.

International motherboard in AT&T case

Hello all,
My wife's Note 5 was thrown in the toilet by our daughter. It quit working so I sent it back to Samsung. They said the motherboard was water damaged and not repairable by them. My question is this, there are more international model motherboards for sale on the internet than AT&T versions. Is there a major difference in internal design that would prevent my from putting a N920I board into a N920A? Plus, I would rather have the international model anyways.

Can I trade in a device with a custom ROM on it for the note 9?

Pretty much the question in the title.
I've got a note 3 that's dying rather quickly and has been mostly a pain.
The final price is 500 euros via carrier so the deal is massively good.

Yes / No.
Here i describe if you are going direct through Samsung and the below is taking from the UK site T&C but most likely be the same worldwide
If you have not rooted and not tripped Knox then yes if you put a stock rom back on it. If you have tripped Knox then most def No as its stated in the T&C's
Trade in terms n conditions

Shop Samsung app or Samsung's website. Select trade option then it gives you a list of phones and the rebate amount.

I'll look that up. I want to be able to root if that is ever an option but Verizon is offering a BOGO deal as well. The unlock version would be a better bet for rooting or no?
I don't see the Note 3 as a trade in option.

Lol... your not going to see root on the US snapdragons. Unlocked or carrier, BL is locked either way.
Root hasn't appeared on the S9 yet so unlikely the note will get it either.
You want root you either go exynos or the N9600 unlocked snapdragon (it should get root at least)

Help Please ! which one to buy ? N9600 or N960U or N960U1

Hi guys i am new to this forum. Have downloaded roms and kernels before but never actually asked a question.
Any ways i tried finding an answer and i have seen alot of guys talking about the snap dragon on the note 9 not root able but i would like to know if any one actually knows any major differences between the N9600, N960U and N960U1 before i go and buy one and then realize WTF did i do.
I live in Canada and all N9600, N960U and N960U1 are compatable with the network that i am trying to use them for.
i do know that N9600 is for china or international market (correct me if i am wrong) and the N960U and N9601 are for US market only.
i was looking at on custom firmware thread where they were talking about the wifi calling feature and some other features that dont work and they were trying to install N960U1 custom firmware.
I also saw in 1 forum where someone from the US bought the N9600 and was not able to set the phone to us time or somehing like that or use samsung pay because the phone would show his location in china.
So please help me i would really appreciate it. it is a very expansive phone and i want to be sure.
Thanks in advance.

Depends. What do you want to do with the phone?

I have the N9600 and it works excellent on T Mobile. Also is the only Snapdragon model that has root. I also flashed mods to get all the features of the carrier version. Seems also faster without all the bloatware. I am running a custom rom as well.

Nah I bought it on Ebay for a good price. I paid 620$ on black Friday. Way cheaper than financing from the carrier.

For daily use. i am the kind of person who buys new phone and keeps his phone till it breaks and fixing it is not worth it.
Rite now i am using a Note Edge N915T. Bought it brand new from ebay unlocked but was from T mobile. my screen is cracked and to replace it, its arround 200 - 250 CAD (digitizer, screen and frame). so who not put that money towards a new phone. Also its very slow now.
Sorry for that long drawn story. I dont think i will be ever rooting the note 9 but if i would need to, i might.

Then getting a N960U or N960U1 is probably your best bet if you don't plan on rooting. In my opinion, rooting isn't needed anymore. You can adblock and disable apps without it. And with the N960U or U1, everything will work with no fuss, inlcuding Samsung Pay.
If you have to have root, then you'll need the N9600 or N960F. But once you u lock the bootloader, you trip Knox PERMANENTLY and lose Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Secure Folder PERMANENTLY. NOT reversible. Even if you don't unlock the Bootloader, you probably won't get Samsung Pay to work in the US, since it's region locked. Some people have got it to work, but jumped through hoops.

No. All Note 9s from T-Mobile are N960U.
