Hi everyone, I have replaced the motherboard of a s7 G930F with a G930V model, but cameras, proximity and brightness sensors do not work. Probably because on this card there is the snapdragon and it uses different drivers. Is there any way to make it work?
Thank you
Sadly no
Differnet components use different drivers
You have to buy a new housing with components for your motherboard

My question is that the i9500 motherboard is compatible with i9505 componets, for example, camera, AMOLED and Touch, IR Sensor, front camera, usb pcb, etc. My i9505 MB doens't power on and i need a replacement board, it doens't matter if i going to buy a i9500 board, but i don't know if itself would be compatible each other. Regards

I am not a 100% sure, but I would say no. As the CPUs and Chipsets are different. There is a lot behind the motherboards and chipsets, most important to me, voltage management. Lack of power could make a component to perform slower, or the counter side make it burn.
I have two phones. One is a busted screen g935f.
I want to take the guts out of the g935f and put it
In the g935v (which is a Qualcomm variant) and use
The body and the screen of the g935v. Will the parts
Fit? Will it work?
Thank You!
As far as I know the only difference betwee these two models is just the cpu
The design screen size and what not is the same, so it should work.
I've heard that the placement of some of the parts are a little different Between the Qualcomm and Exynos versions but I'm not sure.
That the body or frame is manufactured a bit different from the two.
It would be so much easier than having to tamper with that ridiculous edge screen.
Just take the backs off and swap parts.
Logic would dictate that the bodies are the same
Inside But, knowing how stupid these companies are.
Even if I have to forget about the camera connections. I just want access to all the Exynos roms here at xda.
Hi, so long story short my S8 got destroyed when it was left on top of our car and fell off and got run over. Since the frame and glass were both completely destroy I was wondering if It still worked, and it turns out it does the notification light still blinks and the CPU still gets warm so the board is OK. I was wondering could I transfer the components from the old S8 to a S8+ shell, or would it not fit? I have G950U if that helps.
More than likely it will not work in the S8+ chassis. Screw holes will likely not line up. Not to mention the screen size, specific software and hardware differences on the board itself.
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).
