I just bougth a replace for my motherboard, I have a N9005, and they send me a mother for a N900 (damn!), wich I just have installed, and... it´s not working!.-
Does anyone have tried this before?! I'm pretty sure there must be another component that is not compatible, but I´ll be glad to hear that someone already tried this, because I´m not sure if the "new" mother is fried too.-

SM-N9005 16GB with SM-N9005 32GB board?
My 64,000 Question is if I can change my SM-N9005 16GB board (HK) with the SM-N9005 32GB board (unknown) ?

The LCD frame is different with N900 and N9005. This is the surface where the board sits. Protrusions of each board are different so first of all the board won't physically fit the LCD frame. Second the USB flex is different but could easily be replaced had the board fit properly. If you have the skills you can replace the LCD frame but it's very very involved process as you have to separate the LCD unit without cracking it. I really wouldn't advise it if it's you first time.

This will fit. N9005 is one type of board regardless of capacity.
If remember correctly N9005 uses a different rear camera than N900 which look identical. You may need a rear camera, also the usb flex, antenna cable and rear housing that has the n9005 antennas.

May be it‘s too late for this answer but, by the way I've replaced an SM-N9005 32 gb (UK) with an SM-N9005 16 gb (HK) and worked ok. No problem.:good::good:

[Q] i9505 Motherboard replacement but the IMEI...

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle and would appreciate any help .
Background:
I bought a used i9505 off of eBay that had a broken speaker and fast batter drain. Turns out jokes on me and the motherboard had water damage (the indicator on the inside of the frame was purple). So I decided to replace the motherboard and bought a new one on eBay, that was set with an IMEI of 00/01. Now I've got the new board installed and FW 4.4.2 running on it.
Question:
How do I get my IMEI from my old motherboard to the new one? Is that possible? I've been googling for hours now and found that the only way to do it is to use Super IMEI box/STP boxes. Is there a away to do it without it? I guess there's no easy way of just entering it somewhere eh?
Ps.: The old motherboard runs, so technically i have complete access to it.
Thanks for the help!
Restoring old EFS on your new phone's board is a very bad idea. Really...
The less you will obtain is an unbootable pretty doorstop, besides it's illegal...
IMEI is unique to each phone, so tecnically, you have a new phone

I thought I needed a valid IMEI to make calls and use the network? But I just tried placing a call using the Vodafone internet and it all seems to work. Sorry for the Noobish question, but what is the IMEI then good for? If everything works fine I don't need to get my old one back at all then.
I guess the new board came with one too

IMEI numbers are used by operators to register your phone on it's network.
Think abut it as the unique fingerprint identyfing your phone
got a question too: how did you install the new board? just screwed the old one out, put the new one in and connected all flex cables? would be very nice to know :good:

I don't know why people don't answer simple instead of telling other thing, you can try Qualcomm Product Support Tools (QPST) and ChimeraTool. I didn't tried QPST with I9505 but works fine I9305 version of qualcom. Google provides several articles for QPST...

Ive got galaxy note3 version sm-n900 and ive broke my screen. Now I want to order a new screen and i see that the screen of my model
Is more expensive then other versions such as n9005 or n900v and so. So my question is if i can put a screen of a diffrent model be ause basiclly they are preety much the same screen will it fit? For example if I order a screen with frame of n900v will it fit and work with my n900? Or theres a diffrence? Thanks a lot for the help
EDIT:
sorry didnt see the forum of q&a if can transfer this messege it would be great thank you and sorry

I don't know if the displays are the same or not, so you'll have to do some research to try to determine that. Try to find the specific part numbers, if you can, of the different models and see if they match. Even if they look the same, have the same connectors, and whatnot, but are different part numbers, they usually won't work....
Anyone knows?

Please don't act on my information, research it first.
The url in the 2nd attachment is where I got the clipping of the text in the 1st attachment where they have taken both the SM-900 and the SM-9005 and seem to believe that both screens and digitizers are cross compatible.
Hope it helps,
Cheers.

I know for a FACT the screens are exactly the same size but as you say that does not mean the digitizer connections and ribbons may be slightly different on different regional Note 3's.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Do you want to replace the screen with frame? If so, you'll need to do some researches, as most of the screen comes with frame are not fit with each other. However, if you just want to replace the lcd and touchscreen without frame, then yes, they can fit and work.

[Q] Galaxy S5 G900F with 3GB RAM? real or fake?

Hello
i just bought new SM G900F phone from ali express
well almost everything look good, im doing some bencmark testing and its seems original phone.
every time i get score between 42000-46000 on my s5 with diffrent roms.
tuday i used CPU-Z to check if the hardware is original or its may be fake, im posting here my results.
is it possible that my Galaxy s5 has 2720mb ram???
i'ts show this hardware info on every app, also in antutu.
the big question, REAL OR FAKE?
Apart from the RAM, every other spec from your screenshots are identical to my G900F
Not sure where the apps read specs from, maybe build.prop has been edited?
Factory reset it?

already did, even burned new software over ODIN, original Samsung firmware to be sure.
after that it did 2 OTA updates.
Maybe you got a test model (Engineering sample) by mistake, maybe Samsung were looking at putting 3GB in the S5, and that phone could well be one of their test models
Lucky guy if that's true
I use this, which comes with a widget that you can enable to show available RAM
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.taskmanager&hl=en_GB
Install that, enable the widget, in settings tell it to show RAM on the widget, see what it says
My best is around 800MB free - if you really do have an extra 1GB, it should show well over 1GB free

Could be...
Under the battery, which model is written there, G900F ?
i know that there a few test/demo samples which are G900F's but marked as G900X.

its say its refurbish... (the S\N does not match the Manufacturing Date.)
anyway, i installed some roms today, still 3GB ram
my knox is 0X1 (2) - what does the 2 meaning?
i guess its original galaxy s5 because i succeeded to install some galaxy s5 roms, if it was a fake i guess it would brick because the HW is not the same or something...

Then it could be that you have the LTE-A Model, but on the other hand, it cannot be because the LTE-A has as model number "SM-G901F".

Hi guys.Got a little problem regarding the Note 4.I got a fella who wants to trade a Note 4 N910F with no signal and nothing happens when inserting a sim card with my Iphone 5.The question is, any chance it might be a live demo unit and i end up with a brick?Or it could be something worth fixing?
Kind regards,

Well you would have to flash a stock rom from samfirmware I guess.
Have you checked the settings and about device?

What can i check?It`s a bit tempting to take the trade.Someone told me that it might be blacklisted.
