[Q] Use new motherboard from US in Germany? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
i hard-bricked my Nexus 7 3G after following a guide to install Android 4.3 and I plan to buy a new mainboard from the US, as there is no hope for me to get my old one working again.
However, I already have read that it will be no problem to use Google Play Store in Germany and such things but what about using my German SIM card with the US mainboard? Will there be any problems, like Region locks or something like that?

I would like to sell my X01HT

Hello guys,
my Japanese girlfriend bought a X01HT with the intention to use it abroad (after the unlock patch), but after using the device for some time, she is not very happy with it and gave it over to me (^^)/
Well, as I have no use of it, I would like to know if anybody here is interested in buying it.
We got the device beginning of November, so it does not have the limitations of the after 2nd December devices.
The imei-patcher was applied, so you can use every Sim Card with it.
Also I flashed the Cingular 1.34 English ROM on the device, so everything is in English.
The device looks like new and has no technical problems.
So is anybody interested ?
If so, you can PM me.
Ah, currently I am in Tokyo, so I would prefer someone from here. Of course we can meet and you can have a look on everything before the deal !

[Q] Which rom to use for a warranty return?

Hi folks,
I own a Galaxy S with a Cyanogenmod9 ICS ROM (which is amazing and works like a charm, by the way)
The phone is now 1 1/2 year old ans shows a massive burn in that's even visible in normal usage.
I called Samsung for a repair and they told me they will do it.
Now my question is: Which ROM should I flash before sending the device into repair. There are so many official and unofficial kernels around and I lost track of.
Another issue: F***ing Amazon sold me some eastern European model instead of a German one (forgot the exact country), so the newest ROM for Germany might not be apply to my device as it may be not yes available in eastern Europe.
I don't want Samsung to tell me I fiddled around with the ROMs and refusing the warranty.
Maybe a not so recent ROM would be the best!?
Thanks for any answer and thanks to the Cyanogenmod team for their great work.

Atrix will work anywhere
You need to check if the one you're looking to buy is already able to use any carriers SIm... if it isn't then there are people on ebay who will be able to unlock it for you and it should only cost you a few pounds.

[Q] Replace S III motherboard from another country

Hey there!
Like many of you here, i have a S3 with a sudden death.
The thing is: i'm from Brazil and bought my phone in China, so the local authorized technical support refuses to help me, because he says it's very hard to register the IMEI number from a imported phone.
I think my only way out is to buy another motherboard and replace it myself, but again, i can't find any here in Brazil, so i'll have to buy from eBay on US and Canada or UK.
Anyone here knows to do it? I already teared my phone apart and know how to manually replace the board, but what about the IMEI number? It´s possible to do that?
There's any other problems or difficulties i might find on the way?
Thank you so much for all our help, you guys have been great here!

eBay auction for 64gb N9005

I cant post links yet, but on ebay if you type N9005 64GB there is only one guy selling this.
Does this seem legit? You have to buy 2 for $1400, anyone want to go halves with me?
Is this going to have that UK sim restricted sticker on it? Will I be able to use the LTE on this phone on the Rogers network in Canada?
Any experts out there that can help me out with all of these things Im clueless on? Im used to just buying an unlocked phone and having it work off the bat. Never bought something from another country like this before.

I exchanged several emails with that guy and he doesnt wont to do PayPal - bank to bank only transfer. Sounds like a scam to me, and if you zoom in on the pictures of the boxes he posts - the white sticker says "32GB". I've already explained to you in another thread UK phones wont work on Rogers' LTE, unless you flash Rogers' modem to it.
Last year I saw where some purchased a '64GB' phone and it was actually a 32gb phone with a 32gb SD card... That was scandalous..
