[Q] galaxy note 2 logic board swap?

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.

[Q] S5 sprint

Guys I wanted to know if there's any way we could change that wifi logo to the original samsung one (The one in the second picture). This one on my sprint s5 is a bit ugly. TIA.

Samsung s7 G930fd dual Sim - Duos logo

I can't seem to find any info on this on Google.
Trying to find out if the S7 G930fd dual Sim version has the 'duos' logo on the back cover? Ive looked at YouTube videos of the dual sim version in all different colours and some have the duos logo and some don't and they are definitely all the dual sim G930fd variants.

Hello, i am on a sm-g930fd and i have the duos logo on the back cover.
Ps: sorry for my english.

I have one as well and duos logo is there

i've seen some youtube vids though of what is meant to be the FD version and there is no duos logo

Mine has the duos logo on the back.

Which colours do you all have? I'm pretty sure the silver 930fd doesn't have the logo

I have the Silver one and it has Duos logo on the back.

I have a G930FD Black and it only has SAMSUNG on the back. I love it.

Enjoy

Mine is a silver one and also has SAMSUNG under camera and DUOS about 2.5" from bottom. Awesome phone, to bad there phasing out 2g cell service where i live so it almost makes it worst than carrying 2 phones at times. Wish i would of known then what i've learned in last few months about dual active and dual standby. If only there was a way to covert to dual active.?

Replace G930F motherboard with G930FD

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:

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.

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.
