Hello all, I have a verizon galaxy s3 with a broken lcd/digitizer and was wondering if I can get a replacement lcd from any of the variants to take care of it or not, any help would be appreciated thank you.

Can anyone answer this?
I have the same issue and didnt want to start a new thread.
I truthfully don't think it would be a problem having been inside one.
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours
Thanks.
Was thinking about grabbing a verizon model off ebay to do a screen replacement for an international one.

Switching over from the iPhone due to jailbreaking dying out. I'm looking on craigslist to buy a Galaxy S3. Im on AT&T and looking to buy a white or black S3. Is there anything specific I should look out for? Also I plan to root my S3, should I look for a specific S3 model and does it matter what version of an OS its running in order to root it? Like the iPhone with jailbreaking.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
A customer dropped there Verizon S3 and shattered the glass. Though I do sell the parts they said they found a more affordable option. They sent me the link and it is for the i9300. I told them to hold off until I can ascertain whether or not the difference is radio/chipset only or if he must order a Verizon specific replacement. Any idea guys? Will the i9300 front glass be compatible with the i535? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello. I have had nothing but Nexus phones for the last few years. I really like the S6, but am not really sure on a few things. Let me just ask the questions I have, and see if some kind soul will answer them.
1. I'm guessing short of buying a way overpriced international version, there's no way to get an unlocked/carrier-free version of this phone?
2. I use Straight Talk with my Nexus 6. What is the best way (without buying a Straight Talk branded phone) to use an S6 with Straight Talk?
3. If I buy an AT&T S6 outright, do I have to buy service with them? If so, can I cancel after a month and switch to ST?
4. Compared to the Nexus line, is it hell to root an S6 or load custom ROMs on one?
Thanks again for all the help. If anyone is wondering, I do love my N6, but I started running lately, and the 6" form factor is just too much of a beast to strap onto my arm or carry in a pouch. The S6 would be perfect for that.
Anyone?
i can help you with the last question...i think the easiest android phone to flash roms is the galaxy....i used S2 S4 and now S6....and they are the easiest...its simple....maybe you wont find many custom roms for the S6 because of its only exynos variant...but its easy to flash them..

1. Tmobile is the closest you'll get to the international version but your going to have to get it SIM unlocked (try swappa)
2. Take SIM out of n6 and put in s6 I use my s6 on straight talk with no problems you just might have to set the APN settings
3. If you buy s6 outright i do not believe you will have to have service with them should be able to purchase and put your ST sim right in
4. Cannot comment on this but looks like someone already did

Well, the easiest phones on which to flash ROMs are the Nexus phones. But I just wanted to make sure the S6 wasn't too difficult as well.
Thanks for your response.

Thanks for the answers. Where did you get your S6? I can buy the 32GB version from T-Mobile for $629.99. If the one Verizon sells was able to be used with ST, I'd buy it, because they have the lowest prices by far (64GB version for $699). Any idea if the Vz one would work with ST?
Got my gold carrier unlocked S6 for $720 shipped via fedex 2nd day. Not bad I'd say.

I got mine from the ebay seller that had them for $700 the first week, Theres a post on here about using verizon on straight talk, if its like all their others you will get annoyed by the "incorrect sim" message they like to parade around
willmyphonework.net is a good place to see if it has correct bands and what not
I was wondering if anybody has successfully put the motherboard from an AT&T Galaxy S3 in a Verizon SCH-I535 frame?
I compared the motherboards on EBAY using pictures of each and they look to be identical shape. Can anyone confirm this for me?
Thanks so much for your time as my Verizon phone gets crap speeds with AT&T.
Hello everyone
A few days ago my S7 died ( the CPU died )
I have the opportunity to buy a G930FD motherboard from a phone with a cracked display
My question is that if the G930FD motherboard will be hardware compatible ( internal connectors ) with my display and everything else ?
Will the G930FD motherboard perfectly replace my dead G930F motherboard ?
Thx everyone in advance.
Hello
Hello someone
Nobody can give you a definitive answer because chances are nobody have tried this before.
However, considering the fact that all G930F ROMs work perfectly on G930FD (including stock ROMs) then yes, it should work.
Again, don't take this answer for granted, as there's always a chance that this may not work.

Hi
Most likely motherboards are the same , the firmware is the same , the difference is on the sim tray , actually there are (hardware) mods where you "stick" a second SIM in the back of the sd card
http://gadgetguideonline.com/s7/galaxy-s7-online-manual/galaxy-s7-sim-card-guide/
http://www.noreplied.com/how-to-ins...d-and-microsd-card-in-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/
So i would guess motherboard are the same
Hello, would like to know how it went, my motherboard is having issues and it's a single sim g930F, would like to know if I can replace it with a g930FD.. any updates?
It was a fake model so a didn't buyed.
Instead i have a brand new motherboard single sim
I am going to attempt putting a G930P motherboard into a G930X demo unit
Hi all,
I am going to attempt to replace the motherboard in a Galaxy S7 G930X (demo model without cellular radios), with a motherboard from a G930P (sprint model) that has a broken screen and LCD, but boots and has a clean IMEI number.
I have searched the entire xda forum to see if anyone else has done a cross-swap like this, but have found no answers except one failed attempt back in January 2017, and the guy was going to try again with a different motherboard -- but didn't update the thread to let us know how it worked out. These actually were on the Galaxy S7 Edge sub-forum -- but I understand the internal hardware is about the same and share many parts (but probably not the MBs).
I'd really like to hear from others if they have had any issues doing motherboard swaps between carriers on the S7s.
Thanks in advance,
Philip
P.S. I will update this and the January 2017 S7 Edge thread with my results once I get the phones in hand and the replacement glass battery cover that I ordered from China. So be patient -- it may take a while for it all to get here....
BTW, here's a link to the January 2017 S7 Edge thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/disc-changing-motherboards-models-t3542919
i'm henry having this same issue my inertia was GM539A at&t so i search 4 replacement but got another model
pls i'm scared need any update pls i can't wait

Well, my first attempt didn't work out the way I had hoped.
Rather than post the results on multiple threads, here's a link to a new thread I started that documents the whole saga: starting with the reason I attempted this, the research done, the models purchased, the actual results from the attempt that documents what is different between the LDUs and their fully functional counterparts and the difficulties encountered, the alternative swap that was performed successfully, and some parting thoughts.
Here's the title and link to the post:
"Swap a good donor motherboard into a G930X LDU (Live Display Unit)? VERY HARD."

I hope it is helpful,

Henry, did you mean a G935A, the AT&T version of the S7 Edge? You didn't specify which model you later got, so it is hard to be able to help. Please update your post or reply to this post and specify the full model number of the other phone you got is (I assume it is also an S7 Edge model) so we can speak to compatibility issues. (The full model number, G935-, where the "-" is the suffix, is what tells us the carrier and version of the S7 Edge. For instance the "A" suffix tells us that it is a North American AT&T version. Whereas the G935F model is the International/European unlocked GSM only version of the phone).
If the other phone is NOT an S7 Edge, then don't bother trying to swap any parts. Most likely none of the parts are interchangeable.
