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.

Hi,
I am buying a note edge tomorrow, so if someone knowledgeable may answer my questions, It would be much appreciated.
I'm buying the edge from someone in Dubai to use in the UK
The guy said (because it was cheaper) he bought the European version (SM-N915FY) instead of the SM-N915G (which is the international version in most shops in Dubai)
He mentioned it was 4g and his baseband is ANK4 (I have no idea what that means)- does that mean I can use it in the UK unrestricted with any UK network and get 4g speeds?
My other main concern is while I was trying to research this I came across troublesome concerns -
1) I saw someone selling the N915FY version on ebay who said he can't get a signal and has service issues in the UK and the phone can only be used for emergency calls - but phone will work abroad
2) Another ebay seller was selling N915FY version with a sticker on the box which said "EUROPEAN MODEL - this product must be activated with a sim card issued from a mobile operator from EUROPE "
so for those two reasons , I am very concerned - can someone clarify the situation please?
It is the first time I am buying a used phone so not sure what to look for
It also looks like the N915G has had a stable lollipop update, so is that the better version compared with N915FY?
Thanks for your time
Hey guys and gals, not really new here just don't post very much, but I've gotten myself in a predicament. I recently bought a SM-G930T off of Craigslist but it is already factory unlocked so I could use it on Metro PCS. The thing about it is it is a 64GB phone which I know wasn't released in the United States yet. So I called Metro PCS to get the phone activated and the phone has a contract under it so I cannot use it. Does anyone know where my phone is from? It has the Snapdragon 820 CPU according to CPU-Z. Just trying to figure out what I can do with this thing instead of using it as a Galaxy S7 Touch
Thanks in advance,

Was probably stolen bro
Few things you can do: check the IMEI at Swappa's ESN check: see if the phone is A) not a fake B) not stolen/blacklisted.
If the phone isn't stolen/blacklisted, you could try to get a sim card and put it in.
How is there a contract on an unreleased phone?
You sure this phone is an international 64GB version of our phone in the US? not sure even China or the other places have our processor and 64GB of ram

I think he has an international version (most likely) or a clone. I sold my htc 10 to some dude and the reason he bought my phone was because he said it's really slow and imei changed. So at a glance, the phone was identical to my S7. The biggest difference was obviously the display and it's brightness, also it's somewhat more laggy than the s7 already is. And lastly the fingerprint didn't work AND didn't even see it on the settings. I can see how an average dude can get tricked but even I couldn't believe my eyes, I switch phones about 6-7 times a year and this is by far the best clone I've seen.
Why don't you try using a tmobile sim card? Isn't metro cdma under tmobile's network? just try to convince them and threaten to leave then lol
If anyone gets the idea of doing a motherboard switch from the snapdragon version to the exynos version... well... i have news for you. I just did that today, it's all good but the cameras both don't work. You will also have an extra antenna cable that you can t plug anywhere but everything fits perfectly. I'm not thinking of investing more money just to have the exynos but if i can't return the motherboard i might get the exynos cameras as well but first i ll try to see if the guy who sold it put a different rom on it other than the original, in download mode it says DTM which is the carrier id for TMobile Germany but the rom on it is from unlocked unbranded united kingdom
Does anyone know how unlocked germany phones are? the ones from t mobile i mean.
it was just an idea after i argued with samsung for why they have a language just partially in the system and the rest in english while the translation already exists on the international verison plus i have always had root and mods and i missed that, it's my phone not samsung's.
Hi, I had a Gear S3 Classic from the UK which broke whilst charging, I bought a replacement mainboard and installed it successfully (phew!) but after turning it on it's a South Korean model (SM-R775S).
It's all in English now but it has different apps that are installed and I'd like it how my original watch was, is there a way to do this via the options or a firmware change?
Thanks.
Only to be sure...
Your dead Board is SM-R770 BT only...
And now you have ""Jackpot"" with Korean LTE?
Is this correct?
Because Korean LTE is not first choice to change something...
With SM-R775S you have little bit "luck"...
Firmware is available...
For SM-R765 not...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/please-help-bricked-gear-s3-sm-r765s-t3665558
So you have not really easy mission...
Best Regards
Hi, yes it was a SM-770 that I bought in the UK, it fried when I used a different wireless charger on it
The replacement I received from eBay is a SM-R775S, I don't know if it's LTE or not, so by jackpot do you mean I have been lucky by getting this mainboard?
I've actually got used to it now, I've managed to delete a couple of the apps that are in Korean and it's all working pretty much how the old one was, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like that but so far I'm ok
Thanks for the reply.
hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G N9860 (from Hong Kong) with a broken screen. I am looking for the AMOLED LCD Screen Digitizer and Bezel Frame, Black color. The screen mounted on the Europe model is not compatible with the N9860 hk version. I need the replacement. I live in Spain and I can't buy it here. Does anyone know where I can buy it? could you help me? Thanks
why wouldn't it be compatible?
I don't know why, but in the specifications of the screen mounted by exynos, it specifies that it is valid for the following models: N986, N986B and N985F. However the version SNAPDRAGON N9860 N986A N986B / DS N986N N986P N986V N986W N986U N986U1 N986R4, 4G N985F / DS.
I am not sure about this information, I would appreciate someone to confirm it.
Also, a reddit forum said that it was not compatible and for this reason I have doubts.

Hey, ao what did you do, i am in the same situation! Have the SM-N9860 and i am from Greece.
Keep in mind when you break the screen then send it to store to have it repaired. If you repair it your self or some one non certified samsung person repairs it then your whole warranty is invalid. So only repair it yourself or let some 3rd party place do it if warranty has expired. Also breaking the screen does not affect warranty since it can have two types of warranty. 1. Screen warranty 2. Hardware warranty so thefore let certified samsung technician repair it for you if you still have valid warranty period.

I'm in the same situation, albeit in Germany. What did you do? One option would be to send it to the company I bought it from. Didn't receive an offer yet.
Samsung said out would be better not to do it, but some guy in youtube said it should be ok. So i sold my phone today sorry, not the solution you were looking for.
