hello,
i hard bricked my nexus and send it to a samsung partner for repair.
they told me that they changed the motherboard.
does that mean i get a phone without my old data? is everything gone?
do i have to unlock and root again?
Yes.
Flash is on the mobo, replace mobo = different flash.

Hi,
I sent in my XDA Nova (HTC elf) for warranty replacement
and got it back with changed mainboard, so with changed IMEI no.
Now, when I tried to recover it via Spite Backup, it seems to work, but it says my password is incorrect. I think its somehow encoded with the IMEI no.
Does anyone know if I can change the backupfile, so there is no password required??
Thanks very much
Using JTAG or USB jig? Is it possible? How much it will cost for JTAG or jig? I went to service centre and they said that motherboard needs to be replaced and that costs 200$ which I don't want to spend. Have anyone tried JTAG or jig?
JTAGs is no longer available in phones. There's no magic jig and it all depends on your issue. If you have bricked bootloader and phone is still detected as QDLoad 9008 etc then it should be possible by flashing blankflash files current or newer than your previous firmware. If it's not possible, then there are ISP points available on the board so any store who have hardware for reading/repairing eMMC should be able restore bootloader using that. Keep in mind that this requires to get the display out.

So is it worth it to repair eMMC or just send my phone to lenovo professionals?
If you find a decent shop that have the required hardware and will charge you less and this in fact is your problem, sure.
Hallo
I am planning to replace my Note 2 motherboard with a new motherboard. The board, when it arrives, will most likely be completely blank.
How do i install a bootloader so i can get to download mode and then use ODIN to flash a ROM? I don't have access to any methods other than what can run my PC?
Any info, links, advice, hints would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance
As far as I know, the motherboard should not arrive blank.
Where did you order the motherboard?
Ordered the motherboard from a Chinese Company

Good news it it at least the bootloader installed.
The motherboard is used so it should come with at least a bootloader.
hi,
a few months ago my note2 stop working.
Neither switch on nor recovery mode.It was dead. A couple of weeks before i flash the cyanogen mod firmware and everything worked perfectly. At that moment i did a backup of efs and every part of the old original firmware. I try to recover but the only solution i found eas to buy a brand new motherboard from england. It arrived eithout imei. I try to reflash my old efs but there should be a check of the motherboard number and it didn't work. I would like to recover the phone. I know perfectly that procedures to write imei are not legal in my country because they are used to hide stolen mobile. But this is my phone, i can prove it, and I would not use the Samsung costumer service as it is too much expensive. Is there anybody that can suggest me where to find howtos on writong imei and resume my mobile?
Many thanks for the support.
I have never heard of a brand new motherboard not having an imei. Does the motherboard boot a stock Samsung ROM?

IMEI should be on new motherboard. Writing another IMEI onto a motherboard is illegal in some countries so we cannot allow this thread on XDA.
Contact the place you purchased the motherboard from.

Hi.
I'm sending my phone to China to repair it under warranty (proximity sensor is not really working).
What do you think, should I restore to the original ROM before sending it?
Thanks

Check with the store you bought it from. I used to have an oneplus 3 and I sent it in service and it came back with the official software, locked and everything. No one asked anything. I actually sent it twice and the second time they replaced the mo-bo too
