hi, everyone. so i have this doubts. i have a US cellular a galaxy note 2 R950 i know this phone is cdma and i recently got a tmobile note 2 that a friend gave me with a cracked screen:
since i want to use GSM because i travel to mexico often and over there my cell phone company use gsm
so my questions are:
its is possible to swap the logic board from the tmobile t889 into the R950? (want to unlock to use in Mex)
asking this because after watching some videos of how to change the lcd/digitilizer its easier to change the logic board
if the logic boards are not compatible does the lcd/digitizer?
the goal is to end up with a GSM phone and since my R950 is mint im not sure if just changing the logic board and prob the antena from the tmo will make it GSM
thanks in advance for any help

From what I researched before on GN2 types, the housing will be incompatible due antenna differences between gsm and cdma variants. I don't know about cable placement, you might have better luck asking the eBay vendors. One vendor told me he tried front LCD housing and frame replacement of R950 into N7105 won't work, he tried it.
General consensus:
N7100 motherboard housing is not compatible with all other GN2
N7105 is compatible with t889 and i317 (tmo and att)
L900 (sprint), R950 (us cellular), and i605 (Verizon) one of them may be compatible with other but I don't know which.

Note2 SGH-I317 stuck at the booting
Hello Developers - I have installed lot of ROMs but the phone is stuck at the booting. It gives me Samsung model number but doesnt open the next screen. Can you help in fixing the issue. It shows only the Samsung Galaxy Note II but no action after that even after 30 mins.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I just ordered a verizon galaxy s3 and am planning to flash it to work on ting (sprint mvno). I also ordered a samsung m370 just in case I need a donor phone.
Any good guides/tips to start looking at? Will I need to go get cdma workshop?
NOTE: I'm not too worried about not having LTE, I'm expecting that. My goal is to have one phone that runs on ting when I'm in the us, and can pop in a gsm sim card when I travel abroad.
Thanks in advance!
It would be my recommendation to use cdma workshop. May not have a lot of posts on here but I've been doing this stuff for years.

I use the dfs and qpst. I wanna know if when you you get a Sprint GSIII can you flag football Verizon and ROMS and vice versa with no ill effects

OK I've been a lurker for a while but have never had the materials or reason to really delv into devolpent or anything.
So I come to you for a possibly very ignorant question..
OK my star n8000+ died, so I've been looking for a new phone, and I've been wanting to get the galaxy note 2, but my issue is I keep seeing things like bad ESN and clean ESN or its just completely FUBAR, and I'm limited on knowledge of sim cards and am not sure if CDMA (idk the frequency if that matters) is supported on the note 2 because I have AIO wireless. I also saw some things on 4G being blocked because of bad ESN? But I'm sure that was only because the note doesn't support boosts version of 4G .
So yeah, that's my general 'what the hell am I doing' post
Hello there.
I have 2 galaxy s4 phones, one verizon and one ATT. I have verizon service and recently broke the whole lcd unit on my verizon galaxy s4. Is it possible for me to A) swap the display from the ATT to the VZW without breaking it, B) Swap the internals somehow C) Take the CDMA radio/antennas etc. and replace the ATT ones with the verizon parts and then have a compatible phone with VZW CDMA.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
You should be able to just swap the digitizer+glass from one to the other. You can still post your question in the link below just to be certain.

The experts there will be able to help you. Good luck.
I broke my Tmobile G900T I got a verizon G900V
I actived on metropcs,but it does not support wifi calling,it has a lot blotware,and there is not root process yet
My question is, if you guys know if I can switch the logical board it appears all the hardware is the same,what's look diferent are the bands
That's why I want to put the Tmobile borax on the noncracked lcd from the verizonG900v
That's it. I have a Note Edge N915V (Verizon) dead BUT the LCD works 100%. I would like to know if the AT&T Motherboard Note Edge can be compatible with my model Note Edge VERIZON?
I just want to know that information please!!

To the best of my knowledge, all motherboards are cut of the same size dye, you can replace an ATT motherboard in a Verizon set .
I have done swapping of motherboards between international and Sprint versions.
Best of luck.
