If I replace the original AT&T motherboard with an International one, would it essentially change the phone from a G925A into a G925F? I've been trying hard to obtain root for this thing for years.. Shell root with ADB commands just won't cut it for me. Even if I don't get a response, I'm debating on trying it because it looks like attempts for obtaining root on this device is dead...
that will change your device to global version!
or maybe your LCD Panel will mismatch with G925F board and you may end with bricked device!
I recommend you to test your display panel to G925F board first
don't forgot to hit thanks button !
It worked out but... The motherboard that was sent to me was from a G925X.. Live retail version. So no modem connections.. Everything else is functional though. I should have known the price (less than $20) on eBay was too good to be true! I'm BEYOND PO! Waited almost a month for it to be shipped here from Germany..

I have rooted multiple G1s. I think this is my fifth or sixth one and I managed to brick it. The 2708 radio kit I installed via recovery failed and , not paying attention I ran the Hardspl. Boom brick! Stuck on G1 screen.
I was wondering if anyone is still using JTag out there that can unbrick it for me for a price? Its an almost mint G1, hate to give up on it. I also have a spare G1 motherboard, screen, shell, keyboard, and more. myabe we can work something out?
Have you checked in your local area for phone repair shops? It's rare, but sometimes some of them do offer JTag services. I bricked mine as well a couple months ago..looked everywhere and finally found 1 place that offered JTag..I didn't de-brick it because of the cost. Ended up buying the MyTouch 4G.. lol point is..look around, I'm sure there's at least 1 place that might offer what you're looking for.
IF not, you mentioned you have a spare motherboard?? Just swap it out with the one in your phone right now. It'll be..almost..back to where you want it to be..good to go
My Galaxy Note fell and now the screen has a few cracks and it doesn't start I took it to Samsung service station who Quoted an estimate of over 19,000 INR for replacement of motherboard and screen which is pretty high to me as I bought it for 22,000 INR. If I replace the motherboard and screen myself will the IMEI no. get null if yes how do I restore it ?Will I have to load Android OS again if yes how?
Please help.
Also where can I find genuine original parts in INDIA I saw few on some sites which were US based or should I search locally.
Replacing screen won't change Your imei, but changing motherboard probably will (to some new imei) , so it won't be lost. Probably there will be some rom already installed on it, as it is made for note. Else You will have to use Odin like always.

Hi,
Last week I bought a new Sony Z3 compact, and I'm having some difficulties with the touchscreen. I'm experiencing some of the sensitivity / bouncing problems I saw in the forum earlier. It's making typing sometimes very difficult.
The build date of the phone (which came with no accessorizes like headphones or something, only a charger, something strange as well) is: week 35 of 2014. Rather old for a new device. I'm wondering if my device is completely new and it's not just a repaired phone with a repaired screen. Is it possible to check whether the screen is original?
The reason I went to the shop was that they're willing to buy my old iPhone which I got temporarily, because my Nexus 5 was broken. I hated the iPhone and they gave me a good deal for the Z3C. But I hope that I bought a new phone and not just a repaired one with a cheap display....
The headset itself doesn't have a single scratch, it looks completely shiney btw
It's possible that they gave you a refurbished device true, but if I'm correct those devices or any sold by any store 'must' be repaired with OEM parts, so it's highly unlikely that they used 'cheap' parts to repair it. You could check to see if the phone is still waterproof by doing the pressure test or putting the in water.
Even phones with OEM parts had the same problem that you described.
If you're not satisfied I'd suggest to go back to the store.
P. S. There is no way to check whether the screen is original or not.

Hi Dsteppa,
Thanks for your quick reply. The pressure test seems fine, so I'm guessing the phone is still water proof. Perhaps an update to Lollipop will fix it. Maybe I'll go to another shop first and compare the two screens before returning my device if Lollipop won't help.
So, some background first. I bought a Note 5 from ebay about a week ago, in hindsight that was my first mistake but what's done is done. It turned out to be from China which worried me a little. On checking the version, it was claiming to be a N920F. Having not done my background reading first (second mistake) I hadn't realised that I'd not be finding a legit copy of firmware anywhere but I went ahead and went to root it anyway. Had an absolute mare of a time, got caught in a bootloop for awhile and struggled to find any coherent/non-contradicting information on what roms would and wouldn't work but never the less somehow managed to get it to play nicely (ish). While running, I looked into the device info and it was claiming to be a N920P in the recovery/download screen but in the phone itself from device info claiming to be N920F. Fast forward to today and it decided to have frozen and become unresponsive so I thought no bother, I'll reflash it. This is where the house of cards start crashing down.
Now, it is (seemingly)perma stuck in a bootloop and won't accept the N920P rom's associated with the code claimed in the recovery screen etc and not found any N920F roms. I'm assuming it's soft bricked at this stage, I read in another post to check the IMEI to see what it came up as and this is where things get even more confusing. On checking, it came back as being an N920G.
So. As it stands, no rom I've tried works and I've got an expensive paperweight. Seller has yet to reply to me, so I'll give them another day before I raise a case with Ebay... while this is going, has anyone else got any suggestions that I could try or information I can provide that might help? (Other than yeh, I dropped a bollock!)

Woww! I have the same issue did you have any luck with it ?
Unfortunately no good news no. After several weeks the seller replied and said it was indeed an N920G from the US... BUT with some differences and that they had a specific ROM that they wouldn't give me to reflash with. So no, I didn't solve it and I was stuck with an expensive paperweight and neither Ebay or Paypal would help so I didn't even get my money back. expensive lesson!
Have you tried flashing stock roms for n920p and n920g through Odin? I managed to easily flash my n920f with stock n920p N920PVPS3BPJ2 (it had N920FVPS3BPJ2 rom initially so I assumed it was just modified version).
Yes, I tried them both with no luck. I've since given up on it though. OnePlus 5 has been a much nicer phone to use
Hello guys,
I own a S10 model SM-G973F ,
Sadly,
My motherboard completely died but the rest of parts are working well.
I want to buy the unlock version of S10 Motherboard model SM-G973U.
Is it possible? if its unlocked version it will work?
Thanks,
The U1 variant should work but double check.
It likely be the cam and C port modules that give you trouble if at all.
I was of the belief that the C port pcb wasn't interchangeable on the N10+; apparently it's the same for all US Snapdragon variants.
If not compatible you will lose phone and internet service. Next time I go to change out the C port PCB I'll document it fully... a repair shop screwed up the last one and I didn't record which PN# was on the replacement board, duh.
Next time I'll just do it right and do it myself!!!
So to sum up,
you suggest to buy a new/used same board model as I had (SM-G973F).
Any chance you know where could i buy for a reasonable price?

No clue and if used the IMEI needs to be clean.
A used S10 is another option, a parts queen.
For $400 you could buy a used N10+ in excellent condition but same issues there with buying used. If you don't mind the size it be a definite upgrade. New ones are going for $800 now.
If you buy used there's another issue, the firmware version. Android 9 is preferable, 10 is as high as I would go. Make -sure- you known what firmware is loaded as sellers many times don't list what's actually loaded. Best to talk with the seller by phone.
