I didn't find any specific answer to this but I think it won't work. For what I could read, the radio (among other things) isn't the same/placed the same.

The board and case internals are different. A search will turn up the difficulties even swapping screen/housing assemblies.

Swap board from international s3 onto at&t s3 screen plus digitizer?

As the title reads is there anyway to do this? I wanna be able to lift the board of an international s3 n hook it up with my sgh-i747 screen /digitizer but I found out that the frame on the i747 screen doesn't exactly fit the international exynos board n hence the board won't sit properly on the frame. Is there a way to achieve this? Like a frame mod or something?
Thanks

[Q] Tmobile?

I see sprint optimus G has GSM band 1900, is this true? If it is, it means it can be used in tmobile as long as unlocked. Can anyone confirm it?
I would try the AT&T version...

i dont see the problem here..
open up phone, desolder eUICC chip from mainboard, solder on a sim slot, mod housing so sim can be removed easily, insert sim card, do a nexus 4 conversion, swap efs partitions with a nexus 4 efs.... so simple.

Motherboard switch

If I was to get a hold of a sprint s3 is there any reason I couldnt open it up pull the motherboard and replace it with my tmo s3 motherboard?

Pretty sure others have done this. Never seen how successful they were though.

Theoretically, yes, but theory is not always the same as reality.

Buying a new housing

Hey all, I'm trying to look for a new housing+lcd for my tmobile galaxy s3. Just wondering are all housings and lcd interchangeable for this phone? Or do I need to make sure it's for the tmobile variant? Thanks
