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.

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.

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.
Hello, I am trying to use a galaxy s3 that is a verizon phone with my us cellular SIM card. My galaxy s4 from us cellular has a cracked screen and my old s3 from verizon is fine so I want to use it. I have search and searched but cannot find anything on this or at least from verizon to us cell. I find a lot the other way. Is there a way to do this? Maybe flash a us cell s3 rom on the verizon s3?
Thanks.
i received a phone from my father in law newer galaxy s4 sgh1337 i have Verizon on my phone which i just so happened to break is it actually possible to unlock the S4 and have it on my verizon network???
Att phones won't run on Verizons network. Even if they are unlocked.
Future reference, questions go in the q/a sections

hi i'm a new one on this forum and i wont your help please
i have a Samsung galaxy S3 sprint i bought on ebay and this model of GS3 doesn't has GSM Sim Card slot.
i'm looking for motherboard that it has sim card slot and i wont to change the motherboard using all part of GS3 Sprint.
So Effectively you want to gut the phone and use just the body to transplant into a GSM Phone. The motherboard of ATT SGH-I747, (ATT GS3) is available on Ebay as well. But you have to understand a large part of the money you paid for this phone was to wards the motherboard you don't want. Also even if you did buy a motherboard from Ebay or elsewhere, there's no guarantee that IT'S IMEI is not blocked.
Either way, please post in Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
or post in AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
