[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Motherboard replacement - General Questions and Answers

Hey all,
I have a tmobile galaxy note 2 t889 that has a broken screen (glass, digitizer, and lcd screen). I have a friend that has a note 2 that has a bad esn, I was just wondering that if I took my motherboard from my phone which has a good esn and swapped it into his phone would that fix the bad esn problem or is the esn number tied to something else besides the motherboard?
Thanks in advance
Steven

[Completed] Retrofitting Note 5 guts to a Note 3

How hard would this be? Is it even possible? I have a Note 3 with a bad motherboard, and a Note 5 with a broken digitizer. I'm also a woodworker, so making a custom case won't be much of an issue, and I think I would probably only need the rear cover.
Have any of you guys done something like this?
Are there any schematics or diagrams I would need to convert any of the connections?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Nope, not gonna happen. The hardware is not even close to the same. Put this idea to rest, you would be better off to look on eBay to find either a Note 3 with a broken screen but good motherboard and good ESN or a cheap replacement motherboard. For the Note 5 you can find a cheap replacement digitizer or a Note 5 with bad ESN but good display

OK, dang I was hoping it would work, thanks... the cheapest I could find a note 5 digitizer was about 170

replacing Android mainboard vs replacing iPhone mainboard question

So, when I replaced a mainboard in my Samsung galaxy S3 I basically had a new phone. I had a new serial number and a new IMEI and for all intents and purposes it was indeed a new phone(To me, anyways!).
My question is this: Will this be the same case if I were to replace the mainboard in an iPhone 7 or even an iPhone X?
Thanks in advance for any knowledgeable answers! much appreciated!!!

Is it true that the Digitizer and LCD are one piece on Refurbished Note 5?

I brought my Galaxy Note 5 to a repair shop to have the charging port replaced and the Technician told me that he couldn't do that without also replacing the glass as there was a deep scratch in the digitizer and would probably break during the disassembly.
But after I negotiated a screen replacement along with the charging port replacement I was told that the digitizer on my Note 5 couldn't be replaced without replacing the LCD as well. I asked why and was told that my phone was refurbished and refurbished note 5's don't have separate digitizers and LCDs. I argued that I got the phone new at Best Buy the day it came out and it couldn't be refurbished but he showed me a little "R" on the back of the phone under the glass to prove it. I wasn't about to spend $250 on a Note 5 that I only use for wifi since I upgraded to the Note 8.
But I do use the Note 5 all the time because I can't customize the Note 8 due to the locked bootloader and I'll buy the Digitizer and charging port and replace them myself. I just don't know if the what the Technician told me about the LCD is true.
