Hey everyone,
My friend SWIM has a few question regarding Galaxy S2 (T989). SWIM currently has two galaxys, one is blacklisted/unusable and the other has a busted screen.
First off, since SWIM has the blacklisted G2, is there a way to take out the motherboard from his busted one and install it into his blacklisted one?
or is it cheaper to just replace the screen and can he do it himself?
Thank you in advance.

The board is very easy to replace. On the other hand the cracked screen isn't. With these phones you actually have to purchase the LCD/Digitizer/Glass to get the screen fixed. It's a pain in the ***.

Hello All,
I cracked my screen on my sprint Touch Pro 2 CDMA Rhodium World, but i have a GSM Rhodium for parts, are the screens/digitizers compatible? I have read they are and then that they are not? Anyone have first hand knowledge about this?
Thank in advance
cheers,

Well I Tried it...
Howdy Everyone,
I hate to be "one of those peeps" who answers there own questions, but I this afternoon turned out pretty boring and I figured the phone was dead anyway, LOL!
I tried the swap I took a LCD and digitizer from an AT&T GSM only Rhodium and swapped it for the cracked lcd and digitizer in my Rhodium World (sprint HTC Touch Pro 2).
so far so good, it booted up and acting normal, but it only been like 5 minutes, lol, I will keep you posted.
cheers,

hi there read that you replaced tp2 cdma lcd with at&t gsm one. i am facing same problem my verizon tp2 need replacement of digitizer and lcd hows your one going on
OOOHH!! I posted a thread asking this SAME EXACT question for no reason! Took me some googling to find this.
So, tell, tell! hows it working so far?? I'm eye-balling an AT&T Digitizer+LCD on eBay for my Sprint phone, and don't know if i should go for it!
Every part should work fine, mix n match. Except for 3G which pertains to hardware.

I recently dropped by GNex and the screen got shattered. :/
I've been looking for a replacement screen online and found that replacement screens for this phone are relatively expensive. But then I found a part labelled as a replacement screen for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I was wondering if this part would work with my unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus? Would it be compatible?

In theory it will fit, but no idea if it works.
There shouldn't be a difference right? I mean isn't the sprint version supposed to be the same except for the radio?
Don't think it will fit..
Someone went ahead despite the uncertainty, he have not report back yet..
I guess I will go ahead without certainty too...
im pretty sure it doesnt. i believe the cable is in a different spot.
so my first S3 LCD screen cracked and i went out and bought a used S3 off CL (i even called sprint and they said it had a clean ESN) i get home to activate it and then won't because the guy called and reported it lost.well what i am wondering is can i just remove the motherboard from my old s3 with the cracked screen and swap it with the bad ESN phone? would i have to also swap out the radio as well or just the motherboard?

Yup it should work fine. I have done it before with a few phones including a s3. Just Google "taking apart a s3" and you'll find video guides on it.
It may seem difficult but it really is a easy thing to do.

Hi everyone! I have a quick question. In the process of trying to replace the broken screen on my S3, I ended up breaking the LCD/Digitizer -.-
I was on the hunt for a replacement i747 so I could switch out the motherboards, but on Ebay, I saw a listing of a Sprint phone that had the i747 motherboard inside of it. So my question is, could I place my motherboard inside any of the S3 variants and it will work? I know it will work with T-Mobile, but what about Sprint, Verizon, etc? Thanks :3
Nope. It won't fit.
The sprint version lacks a Sim tray so that's One incompatibility
Thanks for the answers! I'm guessing the phone I saw actually just had the Sprint LCD in the i747 housing. Or something like that. Either way, I just decided to buy another cheap i747 and switch out the boards. Thanks again
My LCD screen recently got messed up. It's showing a pinkish red line straight down the middle veritcally. After doing some searches, i found similar issue with other people who had a cracked LCD screen. I don't have warranty anymore after tripping knox so my my question is can I use a LCD/Digitizer from a donor N900A for replacement? Sorry for the noob quesiton lol.

Thanks. Just needed a confirmation and yes i know i can find it on ebay. I was cautious at first so I just wanted to ask before throwing money on it.

Tripping knox does Not trip your warranty. ....if you pay for insurance, get it fixed
