Maybe put the motherboard with sm-n910f on sm-m910v?

That is not a good idea. While both devices may use the same Snapdragon 805 SOC, they use entirely different modems. As the N910F is a international GSM device, while the N910V is design for use with the US Verizon cell carrier.

modem also located on the motherboard

I don't know what you mean by that. But if you want to fix your N910F, you need to get a N910F motherboard.

I sm-n910v want to put the motherboard from the sm-n910f, will it work?

I think if you're replacing the motherboard it should work without any issues

It will work but you will have to use a Verizon SIM card. As the N910V is design to work on Verizon's network.

Can the IMEI of another phone be used on a note 4?

Thanks all. Please delete.
Switching IMEI is illegal and it will work AFAIK

I some how changed imei by downgrading DBE 5.0.2 to KK then updating it to BTU LP then installing simple rom. I didn't want it to happen but it did. Phone works fine.

I am aware it is illegal. I am not asking how to do it, or if I should and not saying that I will. Simply asking if an imei can work on a different device.

Where did the new imei come from? Not sure how that happened.

Yeah, it can work on a different device, obviously don't do it.
The consequences can be severe if caught messing with the device's IMEI #

As I said, not sure where or how but it changed it. I only realised it when I was selling it. This guy buying it checked the imei from the dialpad. And it didn't match the box or the back of the phone.
I installed BTU Lollipop for him before selling.
It was N910F European one.
Now I just got N910C Arab one.

Yes, I definitely will not be doing it. No worries. Disregard anything I said before, this is simply research for an emulator and android app I am developing.
Qualcomm devices are prone to getting the IMEI corrupted, my Qualcomm Note 3 kicked the bucket that way after some custom ROM experiments. Exynos variants are much less susceptible to this, so I grabbed a N910C this time 'round
For those curious: Qualcomm NV tools can save your device's IMEI and CERT - these absolutely _must_ be paired to access a mobile network. You can backup and restore IMEIs this way, note that installing another device's IMEI and CERT pair is highly illegal.
Even Samsung repair shops don't transfer your old IMEI when swapping motherboards (because doing so would be a violation of the GSM spec) - they give you a new sticker!

Well, by that logic, as long as you have the imei sticker, put it in your phone in place of your old sticker, and change to that number, you will be fine.
If only there was a tool to do this. Can't seem to find any. Oh well. : (

Freedompop locked device

Hi,
My brother came back from the States, he'd bought a Galaxy S4 there, and apperantly it's locked to Freedompop (a cell company).
I was wondering if there was a way to get it to work on any company ( 'factory unlocked' if you will).
And whether or not it is a legal process.
Thanks.

A G4?
Sorry mate, but you're in the wrong forums then. These are the Galaxy S4 forums.

There are ways to unlock the phone and use it in other networks.
One of the is to buy the unlock code from the carrier in which it is locked.
Another is to use unlock methods found online. I am not familiar with such methods, so you might have to wait for other people's replies or do some research.

Thanks for the comment I'll wait for more details about unlocking without contacting the carrier.
Is the region away from chain fire not working? It should be possible depending on if it's IMEI locked or not

imei in new motherboard

I had put new motherboard to the galaxy note3 sm-n9005 and I must also put the old imei. How can I do this? Is there any specific program? Or If there is someone who can help me with this situation..
Thanks a lot !!!
You want to put your old imei into the new motherboard?
There is no legal way to reprogram the IMEI from your old device on the new motherboard. Your new board should have a new IMEI - this should be used instead.

Yes. I 've been told from the place I bought the new motherboard that I must put the imei from the old motherboard and I don't know how to do this

Sorry, that would be a topic of illegal nature and therefore not allowed here.

So you assumed that the fixing the IMEI would get you your SIM network? Did you get the famous "baseband: Unknown" problem?
Because that's something entirely different... or so I've been told.
What baseband/modem what CSC??

What ROM are you running? Are you on stock? What is your baseband?
All of these questions can be answered by taking a look at "About Device" in Settings

I am on official lollipop
Do you have baseband and CSC correct for your network.
Suggest returning to service center if you don't know .

I had the same problem. Tried all kind of difficult how-tos, but the one which did the trick is just try to flash another Kitkat firmware (one meant for a different country). I bought my Note 3 in Belgium, so I assumed it needed a Belgian firmware. That was not the case. A French firmware did the job!
