I have a Verizon N900V with a cracked and broken digitizer. I've been watching on eBay for a compatible donor phone for parts. I've seen that Verizon and Sprint motherboards are interchangeable but I'm not sure about other models. The other models I've looked at are N900T, N900A and N9006. I know the Digitizer itself is the same for all models but I'm watching for a complete phone with bad ESN or one with just the motherboard and possibly USB board removed. My concern is that the N900V motherboard will not work with these models.

I would be 99.9% sure the only difference between the various models is the motherboard thus...all the motherboards are interchangeable. Obviously...putting a new motherboard makes the total phone now whatever model version the motherboard came from.

I need to replace my Rigid Flex Board in my HD2 due to a mishap and was wondering if there is a difference between the boards in the European and the T-Mobile versions of the phone. I need one for my T-Mobile HD2 and I dont see them being sold, all I see is just one version of the thing so I'm assuming they're all the same, but I just wanted to be on the safe side.

I too am curious, if anyone can chime in on this.
Turns out they are pretty much identical on every version of the HD2 aside from the model numbers on the flex board. So I'm going to just order one and see how it goes. I will update the forums on my progress.
Does a Sprint Note 3 screen work on an AT&T/T-Mobile Note 3 ? I have a friend that can replace Sprint Note 3 LCD/Digitizers on broken Sprint Note 3's and was wondering if I could replace a broken/damaged LCD from an AT&T or T-Mobile Note 3 too? TIA
I got my answer via Samsung chat:
info: Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
info: You are now chatting with 'Daisy'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
info: Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK1125601008151X
Daisy: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
david: i have a galaxy note 3 with a broken glass.
david: can you tell me if the replacement LCD for a Sprint Note 3 and a T-Mobile Note 3 are the same?
david: or are they different part numbers?
Daisy: I am sorry to know that the device glass is broken.
Daisy: I would like to inform that the LCD for the Sprint Note 3 and a T-Mobile Note 3 are the same.
Daisy: Samsung do repair the device screen and fix it.
Daisy: Samsung provides one year standard warranty for the device from the date of purchase. Unfortunately, physical or liquid damage are not covered under warranty service cost includes accordingly.
david: so then the screens for a CDMA Note 3 and a GSM Note 3 are the same?
david: if so, can you provide me with the part #?
Daisy: I will explain you David.
Daisy: Samsung does not sell any spare part and we do not recommend to replace or repair the device LCD screen.
Daisy: It may void the device functionality.
david: yes
david: i understand.
david: the work would be performed at a local repair facility
david: however I was told that the LCD for a Sprint Note 3 was different than a T-Mobile Note 3 and was provided different repair costs.
david: this is why I'm trying to see if it's in fact the same part for every different carrier variant of the Note 3.
Daisy: I would like to inform that the Note 3 model is same for all Carrier.

This helped me a lot i was looking for a replacement for my N900W8 and was confused as what to buy, now i understand if you order the LCD only it can be istalled to any note 3, however if you happen to buy it with the frame then im afraid you'll only be able to install it to that specific carrier/model you bought it for unless you also buy the usb flex AND the corresponding back cover for that frame. Thank you for this post OP

This makes alot of sense. I was wondering why there were n900A and n900T assemblies on ebay that said they weren't compatible with each other. So I guess to get the best price, it's wise to buy the frame and the lcd/digitizer seperately and just use the self adhesive on it for a quick install. I'm glad to hear the connections for the lcd will work perfectly with the main board.

Sorry if this bumps this but I found this tread via a google search so I want to set the record straight that if it part includes the frame around the glass and LCD the parts are not compatible and could have a price difference.
Hello
I was just wondering, Is it possible to swap 2 motherboards from two exact S4 ? (both from Verizon) ?
The reason I'm asking this is that I have broken my current Verizon S4 glass ...
BUT I have an my old S4 (also from verizon) that had a motherboard problem (that's why I changed phone in the firs place) and this one is in perfect state (no broken glass etc...)
SO I was wondering maybe I can take out the motherboard of my broken Glass S4 and put it in my old non broken glass S4?
Is this going to work ?
Thanks!!!
Yes it should probably work.

And will all my data will be transferred too ? Or this is not stored on the motherboard ?
thanksss
I have a 32Gb with a dead motherboard. I was looking to buy either a replacement motherboard, or another tablet with a defective screen and harvest the motherboard.
My query is whether the motherboard for a 3G model will fit in a WiFi model case?
I don't need 3G but there seem to be several on eBay with cracked screens.
I think they are the same, but at worst you just move the screen vs moving the motherboard. Just make sure the year of your model is the same as what you have. 2012 is different than 2013

Does anyone know if Samsung's Note 4 motherboard replacements actually have a proper EMMC chip? Or are they simply giving you another defective motherboard with a short warranty?
I'm asking because Samsung in Canada wants $390 to replace the motherboard. Even the service staff guy rudely recommended against it. It only comes with a three month warranty.
So, I'm inferring they don't actually change the motherboard. They most likely just give you another Note 4 and hope it doesn't go bad in three months.
Also - Any suggestion of a robust android phone would be much appreciated. I seems like Samsung is the Ford of phones.
$390 seems excessive. In EU a used Note 4 is ~$150. Note 4 with a broken screen ~$90.
I plan to do the motherboard swap myself and would suggest you check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUDgGaFcCNY&t=287s and decide if you want to try it yourself.

Yes, $390 is excessive, but that's Canada for you..
If you're planning to do a motherboard swap, how will know if the new board has a good emmc chip? Are you buying the board directly from Samsung?

I'm planning to buy a used Note 4 with a broken screen. Possibly even N910C. Now, I cant know for sure the state of the eMMC chip, but it will be better than mine, that is dead
