Are all the sm-n970u1 models identical? I've been burned in the past with AT&T models that couldn't be unlocked for flashing, so I wonder if in this case it is just a firmware difference...

My touch screen has been heavily scratched (aesthetic only, still works good) on my Telus Branded TP2. Upon looking on ebay for LCD+Digitizer combos the only cdma version I was able to find was Verison.
Are there any differences & would it be possible as a replacement for a Telus branded tp2?
o
any of the lcd/digitizers will work fine, i have an AT&T lcd/digitizer on my sprint touch pro 2 as of 2 months ago, i cracked my lcd and the cdma lcd/digitizers on ebay were like $60 and the GSM ones were, well i paid $22 shipped
works just fine bro!
cheers,
disco
your welcome
The only ones that are different are the RHOD100 and RHOD210 models. The RHOD100 (European model) has a glass hole for a front-facing camera to the left of the speaker grill. The RHOD210 (T-Mobile US model) has a different placement of the bottom hard buttons. The other versions have the buttons flush against the bottom of the device. The RHOD210 has its buttons about a quarter of an inch above the bottom of the device.
The RHOD300 (AT&T), RHOD400 (Sprint), and RHOD500 (Verizon) are all the same as far as the front display goes. The only difference is the carrier branding under the speaker grill. I have never seen a RHOD110 (Telus) model, so I'm not certain of the differences it has. I think it is the same as the European model (RHOD100), though, if it has a front camera.
Hello, I have the 935F from the UK, I am currently in China for a few months. When changing the brightness up and down, four lines/bars appear on my screen which then grow larger or smaller based on my brightness setting. A handful of others have experienced the same problem too with the S7 Edge (not the standard).
Samsung said I can take it to a service center or send it to them in the UK and they will repair/replace the screen free of charge, but as I'm currently in China, I don't want to be without a phone for a few weeks. I asked the Samsung service center here and they said the screen is different, please can anyone confirm this is the case? I thought the screen was the same, but the internal radio components (frequencies used) differed slightly? I am happy to pay Samsung China the repair cost as it will be considerably easier than sending it back to the UK etc, but can anyone confirm the edge screen is identical?

It's not just the internal radios: the Chinese version is the only other version of the S7 Edge that uses a Snapdragon 820 other than the US variants. And there are more differences between the SM-G9350/U/A/P/T/V/... (SD) and SM-G935F (Exynos) than we might know, and Samsung certainly understands quite a lot about their own product, so I'd advise you listen. (for example of small differences between the two that impacts other parts of the phone) the SD820 variant lacks a separate DAC and utilizes the 820's internal DAC, while the E8890 version has a Wolfson DAC.
Likely the difference is going to be the chipset (Snapdragon Vs Qualcom) however I cant say for sure if the internals are all in the same places for the S7 Edge Global Varients.
Might be worth posting in the S7 Edge forum to see if they are aware of anything?
Sorry I didn't realize there was an S7 Edge forum, could a moderator move this thread to there?
Good point, there are quite a lot of differences it seems.
Do you know if I bought a phone like the S7 Edge from Hong Kong, is it fully compatible in the UK? Would it be the 935F variant? I can't seem to find what variants are sold around the world and I know like America and China uses different frequencies for LTE, but saying that, I have the 935F and I'm picking up LTE fine in China.
I'm currently trying to replace the motherboard on my galaxy S7, AT&T (SM-G930A). Since I'm taking the entire mobo out, does that at all allow me to put a motherboard from a different cell carrier (ex. verizon, t-mobile, unlocked, etc.) inside it? If not, what's preventing it?
It should not be any problem to do that right? I would just make sure that the new motherboard is the same model as the original.
I've done this type of repairs on galaxy s4 and almost every iPhone except 7 and it was never any problems.
How did it go, did you manage to change motherboard? And is it working?
I haven't replaced it yet because I want to make sure that I can do it in the first place. The thing with the samsung mobo's is that for different carriers there are slightly different models - for example, Factory Unlocked is SM-G930V, T mobile is SM-G930T, etc. I want to be able to use a same motherboard but different variant because I'm not on AT&T so I wouldn't be able to use it as my phone. In your repairs, did you ever notice if you changed out a motherboard for a variant from a different carrier?
Is it possible replace mainboard G930W8 to G930F? I have bricked G930W8 and living in Europe
G930W8 and G930F are the same motherboard layout (it's written right on the board "G930F/W8") so it will definitely fit. The daughterboards are model-specific, which I believe is due to the antenna configuration. I would stand to be corrected on that. I'm not sure that it's going to cause you any problems if you didn't have any signal/channel issues with the W8 before it became bricked.
There are sellers online selling the G930W8 and G930F motherboards as directly interchangeable, for what that's worth.
So the problem can only be with the antenna? Thanks for reply
I have a blurry spot on my screen, a Samsung S8+ G955FD (dual sim). I can only seem to find replacements for G955, G955F, which from what I gather are single sim phone parts. Will that still fit with no problems?
If not does anyone know where I can purchase the correct screen and digitizer from? I will have to have it shipped to my country.
