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!!!

this may be a dumb question but does anyone know if i could get one of those dummy display models in store and transfer all the inards from my s3 to the dummy one? the only reason i ask is cause my case is a little damaged and i was going to try and sell my phone but want it to look better, any help would be appericated.

its easier to just buy a new housing unit on ebay. The dummy models don't have a digitizer in the screen, and are not normally able to be taken apart.

Good afternoon,
I have a broken Galaxy S2 which mainboard needs to be replaced. It's hard to find one, but I found a SGH-i777 on ebay. I wonder if it's compatible with my phone. On the sticker it says "Model: GT-I9100GSMH". Will it work?!
If you guys can also point me to a reliable place to buy this mainboard I will be very grateful!
Component C565 is toasted and need to be replaced to check for other problems. From another thread, C565 is a Ceramic Capacitor.

Thanks in advance!
Anyone? At least to point the right mainboard to search, thanks guys!
Ok, ive given up hope of un bricking my tf300, and probably will never buy another asus product after this. My question is, should i replace the motherboard in mine, or put my screen and digitizer in another tab that i can buy for about the same price as a motherboard? Which would be the easier swap, and can someone like me without any special skills even accomplish this kind of thing? Oh yea thank u all for ur help in the past!!
Either is an easy fix, but I stole the digi/lcd combo and the TS board from my TWRP bricked 16GB to replace the cracked digi on a recently acquired 32GB model. I should be able to recoup some more from the non-logic board parts remaining, enough to more than make sense over buying a logic board alone. The battery, TS board, and good LCD alone might take care of it. If not, then maybe including all the little parts and cables inside will. Even if it is more effort to post and sell all that stuff, it should add up to more than selling a parts tablet with a broken digi and bricked logic board.
But then, I've had many tablets apart, and I'm decent at repairing them. Someone who has never had one apart might find either path daunting.
If doing the repairs yourself isn't a good option, you could always take the tablets to a cell phone repair shop, assuming there's one near you. Replacing the screen on a tablet is similar enough to a smartphone that they shouldn't have any problems. There's also a chance that they fix tablets anyway since they're kind of like big smartphones in the way they're assembled. And since you have your own parts, the repairs shouldn't be too expensive.

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
