my oneplus 5 display was broken , so i had this idea about replacing .if you guys have any idea just share it here :highfive:.
No, it isn't possible. They maybe have two connectors in two positions and a different casing. You'd also have to customize OxygenOS drivers

Hi, as I stated on the title, I would like to discuss about the Note 4 Fingerprint Sensor and if we can replace it with S6 Fingerprint Sensor. Initially, I have 2 concerns, which are software and hardware incompatibilities.
A few weeks back, I flash my Note 3 with Darklord S6 port ROM. When I was setting the device up, it promoted me to set up the finger print scanner like the way the S6 asks, so I thought if we port the S6 ROM to the Note 4 it will change the way the sensor works and I no longer need to do the swipe gesture.
However, after a bit of research and discussions, the problem lies within the hardware, so even if I port the S6 ROM, if the hardware does not support it, then it is no use for the software.
But, I have looked around on Ebay and other sites for Note 4 and S6 sensor. They look very similar in shape, but I am not quite sure about the exact dimensions (May be someone in this forum who has 2 devices can do the measurement for me ;D). So I am thinking if we can replace the Note 4 sensor with the S6 sensor and port the S6 ROM to the Note 4, would it technically solve the problem and now we can have the Note 4 with S6 sensor that works like a CHAMP?
If someone has already created a thread similar to this, please let me know and I will delete it or the mod can do it too. This is my 1st post so sorry in advance if I cross some lines
**Disclaimer** Please do not try this idea on your devices if you are not a professional. I am not responsible and cannot be hold accountable if you break your devices. Good day!
Even if you replace the sensor, there's still the software that would need to be reprogrammed in order to utilize it properly. You wouldn't be able to simply replace the sensor and expect it to magically work.
Just saying.

Yeah, I think the swiping fingerprint scanner is part of the security software developed by Samsung earlier on. While the fingerprint scanner on the Note 4, Note Edge, SGS5, SGS6 and SGS6 Edge are probably all the same sensor. It's the security software that would have to be updated in order for it to be used like the SGS6/SGS6 Edge's fingerprint scanner.
I am new owner of a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snappdragon), yet to arrive. I bought it from Fastcardtech who are running a promotion at USD 150. I choose in between the Coolpad Charger C1, Leeco Le 2 and this. Why I decided in favour of the Note 3 Pro? SD-Card, micro-sim tray, headphone jack, flat rear side with no sticking out camera lens, better speaker, lesser bulky black display frame. I did like as well the Elephone M3 actually preferred it in some ways, but not it's sloppy build quality and buggy firmware.
I think the Coolpad / Leeco models might be slightly faster but the Note 3 Pro still holds up well in the upper middle range.
Very busy at the moment reading through all the threads. If you have any essential reading tips I am all ear.
So a few of youare going to roast me over this but never mind.
If I am willing to discard the Fingerprint scanner on my Oneplus 5 and install the OP5T display ( Which is a beauty) . Can it be done? I haven't seen the blueprint or thae layouts but is it possible.
Please be kind.
Respect.
I think it won't be possible from software side. I fear that you should flash oneplus 5t firmware (bootloader??) so it will recognize wider screen properly. I fear you will only end up with hardbricked oneplus 5½t, if you still manage to try it. Keep some kinda blog awake and tell us what you did, how and share some screens
Sounds more troublesome than just buying a OnePlus 5T.
The biggest problem will probably be that the screen of the 5 is mounted upside-down, which caused the jello-effect some people complained about. With the 5t, this isn't the case. So you'll have a hard time connecting the screen to the motherboard. Also, I believe the dimensions are really similar, but not the exact same, so it could be that the screen won't fit at all or that there will be a lot of tension on the glass.
And, as @Vika__ already noted, software will be messy as well. You would probably need someone to write you a custom firmware, although you might be lucky and just be able to use the stock 5t firmware, because the components are the the exact same as with the 5, aside from the screen and the fingerprint sensor
And also using 5t firmware would break atleast second camera, not sure about first one. But it doesn't make sense to throw away camera, fingerprint sensors and maybe even whole phone to try to get 0.5" more screen
Hello, guys/girls.
The thing is I already changed the battery of the device, now I have to change the charging port because it is getting to a point where I can hardly charge the device.
My points is this:
Can I get some damaged galaxy s8 950F with broken screen lets say and just get the motherboard with the SoC and swap it with mine because I hate myself for not searching to see that the snapdragon is bootloader locked and I hate that.
Thank you and have a lovely day!

It's almost a certainty that it would not work with just a motherboard swap. As far as I know the screen and frame and probably some small parts like the vibration motor, headphone jack, fingerprint reader, loudspeaker and possibly the wireless charging coil would be transferrable. You'd need the G950F motherboard, charging port board, camera modules (Snapdragon cameras are Sony IMX while Exynos cameras are Samsung ISOCELL and aren't interchangeable) and possibly the black plastic module at the top rear of the phone that contains the antennas. Basically you'd need a G950F with a broken screen to get all of the required parts.

Thank you, Sir!
I am glad I post it here before buying the broken phone!
I have never changed a display before and I don't think I can do it because of the curved screen and I think I will brake the working one so I think I will stick with it.

Well, you wouldn't actually be swapping the screen, you'd be keeping the screen and frame of your G950W and basically transferring all the components from the G950F into it. It's not terribly difficult to do if you have all of the parts, but you'd have to do your research to make sure you know how to do it. Lots of videos on YouTube and a guide on iFixit to go by.

I will second this. As i have repaired and dismantled several s8s. Their not really hard. But you most def need the right stuff to do it.
Thank you for the answers, gentlemen.
I will try that and see what happens.
Hi, I would like to put the motherboard of my mi9t pro with broken display in a mi9t that I took used. Can I replace only the motherboard or should I also replace the charging board and other components?
Disassemble and see if the LCD is the same, if so, just replace screen - I did that before in Samsung, HTC, Apple, Huawei.
Replace all components... Main camera sensor is better, has laser focus, faster charge port and etc
So could I just buy replacement parts for a PRO and upgrade my non pro model?

No because these parts needs snapdragon 855.

Easier to sell and buy the Pro version.. You would only keep the frame, front camera and Screen.
I replaced all the cards, the pro also has an additional board to connect the GPS antenna (the pro has two gps). Everything works well, but I had to swap the heat pipes which are different between the pro and the normal one. I don't know if it would turn on the same but the pro's battery cable has two tracks at the top (the normal one has one)

Do you have pictures or video? It might help some people..
I leave you some photos that I took with only the disassembled motherboard of the pro. I had to reassemble it today to replace the thermal double-sided tape that when the heat pipe is dismantled it gets damaged (in fact I had too high temperatures). I did not have to replace the heat pipe of the normal mi9t as it has not been damaged.

Did it work?
I have a dead mi 9t (motherboard) I want to fix with a 9t pro (broken lcd).
Were you able to make it work?

did it work? I got my Mi 9T damaged on the board level (overheating and keeps rebooting over and over). I already tried every ROM flash I could do and rule out other components, which led me to the motherboard being the culprit. Planning to slap on a mi 9t pro motherboard I will buy online. Please let me know if it worked, and if what had to be done to make it work

never mind. The Mi 9T chassis and parts surely does work just fine when you slap on a Mi 9T Pro motherboard in there. You just need to replace the main camera for it to work. Do in mind though that by swapping in a pro motherboard into a non-pro chassis will not give you Dual GPS, and probably a little more heat output (A lot more if you happened to receive the Pro Premium 855+ variant). However, it would be a very clean swap if you can find the necessary parts to make all these features work.
The parts that will need replacing to make it like a Mi 9T Pro:
1. Main Camera and Telephoto Module (otherwise, you wont be able to open camera app). Wide angle camera doesn't need replacing.
2. GPS board, Speaker Module for the Pro variant, Antenna cable (for the Dual GPS)
3. *Optional* Mid frame and Graphite Heatsink (if you can find one). I myself had to replace my mid frame and then cut myself a 0.5mm copper plate.
4. *Optional* Super AMOLED display and flex cable (only make a swap when you absolutely need it. My replacement OLED screen works just fine except for confusing my taps sometimes as glide typing, but it also does this on my plain Mi 9T board).
But if you only want to make a plain motherboard swap, you'll only need to replace the Main camera and telephoto module. The rest are pretty much plug and play, just make sure to apply a generous amount of thermal paste so you wont overheat by that much. Been using my phone this way for about a week now and so far no problems.
EDIT 12/23/22: You don't need to replace the charging port and charging flex and batteries. They all still work fine without replacing. I'm using a 33W charger with Scene5 monitoring the charger output and I can say it's sending 27W to my phone without problems (but I had to replace my batteries when I destroyed it trying to install multiple batteries).
