I damaged the digitizer in my N900T and found it cheaper to buy a used phone then to buy a new digitizer. I found a N9005 but not sure if the hardware is compatible. They're both GSM, and I know T-Mobile used the N9005 a few years back, but I don't know if I can swap the mother board of the N9005 with the one from the N900T.
Try these links: (NOTE: make sure you swap the charge port as well as this has the LTE chip which is not compatible with other boards)

I am VERY familiar with the teardown of the N900T. Are you suggesting that the N9005 does NOT have the LTE chip, or the N900T does NOT have the LTE chip? OHHHHH...I think I understand. the Charging port has the LTE chip on it, and MAY not be compatible with the N900T board. Kewl...Thank you.
Afaik, T-Mobile in the USA never used the n9005, only the n900t.
The N900T can not be used in the N9005. The boards are different sizes. Now I know. ?

I am so confused which is better N9000 or N9005, which one is the phone that will get most dev support and custom roms,
please don't ridicule me as I read all threads and still am confused which one is the best version
I live in Israel so I assume I need to have the international version so whic one is it N9000 or N9005
I hope things will not be a mess for us as the N3 has so many different versions that confuses the hell out of regular users.
I think it will be quite an interesting forum and I hope we will not end up in a big mess due to different versions of N3
Here are all the variants:
SM-N9002 Dual Sim variant for Chinese Market
SM-N9005 LTE variant
SM-N900K for KT Telecom South Korea
SM-N900L for LGU+ South Korea
SM-N900S for SK Telecom South Korea
SM-N900A for AT&T United States
SM-N900T for T-Mobile USA
SM-N900V for Verizon Wireless
SM-N900,International variant
SLC22 for KDDI AU Japan
SGH-N075 and SGH-N099 for NTT Docomo Japan
So does this mean that N9005 will be international LTE and will have the most dev support on this forum?????
Will N9005 works with Tmobile LTE? If yes, then I will go get one on ebay and cancel my preorder with T-mobile.

If you are referring to the same exact model here: http://negricare.negrielectronics.c.../2355825-samsung-n9-5-galaxy-note-3-32gb-lte-
It only supports 2g on T-mobile
From my reading in different links i can understand the following :
N9000
----------
LTE = NO
CPU = 1.9 Mhz Octa ( 8 core processer ).
GPU = ARM Mali-T628 MP6
--------------
N9005
---------
LTE = YES
CPU = Quad 2.3 Mhz ( 4 core processor ) .
GPU =Adreno 330
Video Recording 4 times better than N9000.
============
Other Specs same
Highlight:
1- N9000 Faster than N9005.
2- N9000 save much battery than N9005.
Please guys correct my understanding if i am wrong ,
It will not work on T-Mobile lte, just like the international S3 and S4 lte models it will only get edge so if you want to use it on T-Mobile expect 2g web

The 9000 will support T-Mobile's 1900/2100 frequency which is used for 3G/faux G.

i go back and forth to israel but i don't understand the frequency/speed differences both here & there. with respect to the data
speeds, which note3 will work best in both israel and USA?
From what I have gathered having the Snapdragon chipset variant will probably get you more dev support since Exynos chips are closed off.
Well that's also another factor as Samsung doesn't like to is very slow to release the sources for their processors.

I don't think I've seen a single shred of evidence to suggest that the Octacore Exynos is either more battery efficient, or more "powerful" than the Snapdragon S800. In fact, if anything, the complete reverse is true.

Indeed! Now to find out which is truly the best then the only way is to have a side by side comparison of those two to see how they perform and what battery life consume!
Hello guys, I bought a I9505 from Europe a while ago and I'm using it in US, the carrier is AT&T.
The signal outside is OK. but when I in the school building, it's really bad.
So I am wonder if can flash a i337 modem or maybe a I9505G(google edition) Modem to it.
If I can, will it do any help?
Thank you
Of course you cannot do that. It are totally different models.

but according to gsmarena the hardware is the same !
GSMArena is a bad primary source.
The hardware is not the same. An I337 motherboard has a different design from that of an I9505 so they can't be swapped. The major difference between the two boards is in the LTE antenna. You can try flashing an AT&T modem if you want, but even if you do it won't magically enable LTE. The band support is coded into the LTE chip itself and cannot be changed. I would know, as I've tried it myself.
Hey guys, I purchased a N910C which ended up meeting a grim fate but they mainboard was still working fine * tested it on a friends 910c chassis. My question is with the variant with Exynos vs Qualcomm will there be any issue ( service and connection ) with installing a Exynos N910c motherboard on a ATT N910A chassis?
** I am aware the N910C is missing a band for ATT but just wondering of any faults since they are both GSM models.
Thanks in Advance.

All note 4 variants are built on the same size chassis. As long as you use all N910C modules, there won't be any issues after installing the motherboard on the N910A chassis-any variant in this regards.
I understand if If swap everything out it will work. I am speaking of the situation where the mainboard is swapped and nothing else. So N910C mainboard and N910A everything.
That is my concern.

I know this answer is old, but yes, the phone itself will still work, with the exception of anything camera-related, since the Exynos variant uses Samsung's ISOCELL sensor, while the SD805 ones use Sony's. Which means you'll have to replace the camera sensor too if you want a fully-functional Note 4. Learned that the hard way with my AT&T Note 4, using motherboard taken from the N910S variant.
I just put a 910f mainboard in an att chasis and everything works great so far
so i have note 3 SM-N900 , i wanted to change the board on it so i can have 4G internet. If i buy the board and change it will their be any issues i should be aware of? The board is like 60$, it sates that it is unlocked and Europea version, n9005 32 gb.

Hi There,
If you want to explore the possibility of changing the physical modem of the Note 3 or any other physical mods for that matter, please visit Ifixit here:https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+III+Teardown/19209 I dont know how possible it is, people there will help.
@majd_90 try to flash modem in Odin....
So my motherboard is toast (yes, I'm positive) and I'm shopping around for a used one. Since I'm pretty sure all versions of the S8 use the same internal layout & connectors I can probably put any version motherboard in as its replacement.
That being said, which model motherboard would be my best bet for the following:
-Must support T Mobile USA (all the bands they utilize) if unlocked
-Has the best ROM support
a third bonus would be having great worldwide band support since I travel, given it's already covered my first requirement (having all t mo band support).
Thanks.
Well your kinda hindered a little bit because you have to go for the snapdragon variant of the board.
There is root but there are issues with it, and as far as I know not many people are developing roms for the snapdragon variant.
Also the snapdragon variant probably isn't going to work world wide, just like the exynos version doesn't support American bands, the US variant won't work in European countries

Are you sure they aren't pin compatible? I'd be somewhat surprised if Samsung actually had two board produced (but maybe). If this is confirmed by teardown or whatever then thanks for the info
Hello motherboard issue here
I have a s8+ G955FD international version, apparently my motherboard died when i was charging my phone, somebody told me that i have to replace the motherboard but looking online the "FD" version it's very hard to find and also very expensive, any recomendations that i can do, can i replace it with a diferent version of the motherboard or i have to stay with the "FD" version?
