Hi.
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge Live Demo Unit and a stock replacement motherboard (it came without IMEI). It its posible to change it and put in the new motherboard an IMEI of other old phone that I have.
Thank You.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist its not possible IMEI no depends on Motherboard and Radio and every unit has unique IMEI for it , hence kindly take your unit to Official Samsung Service Center and get it done
Good Luck!
I've got G920X demo unit which actually has working GPS module (tested it in offline navigation app - HERE maps, and it worked perfectly in my car) . We know that LDU devices have no GPS module nor GSM module. The question is: Is it possible that my LDU can be fully hardware working device? I heard somewhere that some LDU owners actualy had full gsm devices? Am I the lucky one?
Anyone else???
I think S6 demo series may be just limited by software...... I have that feel..........:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Hello all, does anyone know about the retail demo models of the S7 Edge? I am selling a apple watch on craigslist and someone offered me a S7 edge with no cell bands..
Here is his email.. "I have a Samsung galaxy s7 edge gold retail X model. It works fine the only thing is it won't work as a phone no cell bands in the phone. So basically a android tablet in phone form. "
Just wondering if that is legit and is there a way to get it to work as a phone with a normal sim card>? Or is this person pulling my leg
Thanks
this is a test phone probably.... thats why it doesnt have any band cell so u probably wont be able to even put sim card in to....u can use this device like a mp3 player or ipod.... thats about it afaik.
IIRC someone here managed to flash a stock ROM to a demo unit and it worked as a normal phone afterwards
Hi All,
My Wifi and Bluetooth communication is damaged on my Samsung s7 duos (G930FD). My wifi and bluetooth will not turn on regardless of the Rom installed (Stock or Custom). I've flashed the superman rom and have been using my phone without wifi or bluetooth since a month after purchase (5 months now).
I purchased the phone in bangkok and would like to get the phone repaired in Germany. Does anyone have experience with getting a phone from a different region repaired in their home country? Additionally, from everything I can see, the hardware specs are the same for the G930FD and G930F European model regarding the wifi and bluetooth.
Any insight would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks all!!
Hi,
I would first check if your phone is genuine, i found it suspicious that both communication hardware failed just like that after you flashed a rom, i mean original BT and WIFI cards have a specific drivers attached to it and won't work with a knock off. Maybe a sign?
You have some apps in the play store to check it out.
If it's genuine, register the phone on the samsung website and open a ticket, they'll probably help you out.
Good luck.

Awesome and thanks for the advice. I know it's definitely genuine as i bought it from a Samsung store. I will register it today and check to see whether they can get back to me. Thanks for the response!!!
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://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.
