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

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 ***.

Stick with the exact same thing. You'll set yourself up for failure in the long run. I cannot tell you exactly but can only help guide in the right direction. Good luck!

allright well thanks thats what i did... i just goota wait till it comes
Let me start by saying my phone is rooted but my wife's is not. She never lets me root any of her phones.
Well we are going on a cruise in two weeks and two nights ago we check wifi-calling. My phone worked fine but hers would not setup no matter what we tried. We ended up calling T-Mobile and they also could not get her wifi-calling working so they sent out a replacement that was just received today.
Well the replacement had the Knox counter tripped at 0x1, (she uses Knox at her work) every time you boot the phone lines of code telling you the phone was either booting up or booting down, radio enabled or disable bla bla bla...would run across the top of the screen. It had half the bloatware apps missing. It was like someone rooted it uninstalled a bunch of bloatware and then just shipped it back to T-Mobile. It did at least have the stock recovery.
Plus the phone had two dead pixels right in the middle of the screen...What a joke!!!

Odds are someone did root it and found the multi touch error or more likely the dead pixs and called in the warranty. When they come into Tmob they just see if it works, clean them up, and ship them back out unless they got the samsung tool to reset knox and stock.
I get this is a big deal because knox is used and if need be just send it back saying knox is broken.

I hope I don't receive a Knox tripped phone. Since this is the first reported case of anyone receiving a Knox tripped phone, maybe they are shipping refurbished bricked phones from here on out.. I will report back once I receive mine.

Since Samsung won't honor the warranty if Knox is tripped, then a TMO refurbished phone, sure as hell better not have it tripped already. If it does, get another refurb. No way they can refuse you on that. They put that stuff in the phone, not you, so it better work on their end, especially if you're buying it to purposely use Knox. Phone doesn't work as advertised? Return it and get another one.

The box they shipped it in you use to return yours to them. The UPS label peals off and under it is the return shipping label.
I already pealed the first one off but the return is going to Mesquite Texas.

Just got my phone and it had Knox tripped. I think it only matters if it goes to Samsung not t mobile they use a outside company.
NOTE 3
I can't believe they're actually sending out replacements with Knox tripped.. According to Tmobile, their techs also check for the Knox counter upon receiving a defective phone sent in under warranty. If it's tripped, they charge an out of warranty fee to your bill. This is very unfortunate for people who need to send a replacement in for a new replacement having never rooted, but still have a tripped counter at no fault of their own.

I'm not sure if they actually do check, but they say a tripped Knox flag will void your warranty and result in an out of warranty fee. I'm sure some will and some won't.

Correct but they are shipping them all messed up. They might fix the issue and re flash stock but never fix the Knox issue cause they so short on stock of replacement phones.

That's what is concerning. If they are using the Knox flag to void warranties, they should not be sent out tripped.

Just got off the phone guy said not to worry about the Knox setting cause they only look for water damage and physical damage. Asked to speak to supervisor and he said same thing. Added a note to my account stating I got the phone this way. He said I would have no issue.
NOTE 3
I recently purchased a digitizer off ebay to replace the cracked one in my boostmobile sg2,,,now iam getting no service what so ever...i was told it was compatiable it being a sprint digitizer....is there any programming i need to do from my end....After contacting boost, they couldnt find anything wrong..i can only think maybe its has something to do wit the internal antenna...which if iam not mistaken is located on the bottom back panel near the charger port...i tried another back,,,but i get the same results....
Sounds like you need to tear it down again and make sure all connections are correct and secure. I'm betting you missed something. If screen lights up and responds to touch it no way has anything to do with the replacement part.

Well luck will have it,,,i broke the phone down again..and to make a long story short,,and a short story shorter..i broke the screen on the replacement digitizer...so the mystery remains until the second replacement arrives...but i was wondering do i use the meid/dec no. off the replacement digitizer or do i use the no. off my original digitizer??when i retore service to the phone

The ESN # is part of the system board, it has nothing to do with the screen/digitizer.

Ok,,i asked because after installing the new digitizer,,i connected the phone with the Dec No. that was on the replacement digitizer and i did get service....but when i disconnected and reconnected with my original Dec No...thats when i get no service all together,,,I guess we are talking about the same numbers...the ones printed on the digitizer itself..mine says Dec or Meid No. not ESN.....the reason i didnt keep it on the same Dec No. that came on the replacement was that signal was very low..going in and out ...then it dawned on me that i didnt use my original Dec No. so i switched it over...then i got no signal whats so ever...i just figured that i was suppose to use my orginal Dec No.. since it was my original board that came out the phone...so its just kind of strange that i would get service from the replacement digitizer Dec. No. and not my own...anyway will experiment when the 2nd replacement arrives..thanks

ESN = dec/Meid, and has nothing to do with the display. All that info is on the system board.

My question isnt about the display...iam asking what ESN do i give boost to activate the phone...my original ESN on the crack digitizer or the one that came wit the replacement digitizer...Note.. that when i used my original ESN i got no service..but did get temp service with the ESN on the replacement...Iam trying to figure out is there something wrong wit the replacement digitizer or is there a issue with which ESN iam using...to why iam getting no service at all...Which iam aware that all that info is on the board...but its printed on the digitizers

And I am trying to tell you that there is not an ESN on a digitizer.
A digitizer is nothing more than a thin transparent sensor the size of the lcd, located on top of the lcd, to show where on the LCD you are touching. It has no intelligence or storage capabilities what so ever.
There is not an ESN printed on a digitizer.
If you have an ESN number somewhere then you are not talking about a digitizer.
As far as getting service. My guess wold be that you might have broken or bent one of the spring touch connectors in the case that connect the antennas. Without having it in my hands I have no way to know for sure.
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.
