I have a D850 with a cracked screen, if I bought a different make of the LG G3 would my motherboard fit in it?
Also is the "ESN" on my motherboard? Could I buy a phone with a bad ESN and put in my motherboard (with a clean ESN) and be good to go?
Thanks in advance
Yes, you will be good to go if you bought a phone with a bad ESN and swapped it with your motherboard. As far as a different model of G3, I'm not sure. I would say stick with the T-Mobile version. I know on the Galaxy S3, the Verizon version is different than the AT&T version as far as the frame goes. The LCD and screens are the same. Good luck.

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
Recently my G4 h815 was water damage. Is it possible to replace the motherboard with a different version such as a G4 from AT&T or something like that?
Basically will the motherboard of a H810 or HXXX will work properly on a H815?

i think so, in the G2 if its the same we see refurbished phones that says its a d802 with imei, then after they update frimware and notice funny things . then after reading mother board the phone is a d800/ls980 so he must use those firmwares as thats hes variant.. not d802, so swapping MB's may work.
I dropped my H811 and the display no longer works. I have AirDroid installed, so I can remote access the phone. I did a TiBu backup so not all is lost. I have an ATT variant (H810) and I am wondering if I can swap main boards with that.

I think you would easily be able to swap screen s between models
I can confirm that the MoBo from an H811 will work in an H810. My H811 had already been acting up (doubletap to wake wasn't working, display would occasionally come on very very dim, display occasionally didn't come on - would take 4 or 5 power button presses to wake it). I had an extra H810 and put my H811 MoBo in it and it works! Doubletap to wake works again too!
Good Day!
I got my SM-910A and the network status stays only on emergency calls, bought it in for repairs and found out it that the motherboards needs to go changed. So I was looking on online to buy a new motherboard and the att one is expensive, which is a price for a used one about $99+. So I looked at the tmobile and its less expensive.
So can anyone advice that buying a tmobile board, is wise to put in a at&t device?

Interesting find, I read through the thread and it works good, expect the he gets a notification saying he doesn't the proper sim.
I live outside the US, live in the Caribbean Saint Lucia, the bands won't make much scene for me but my carriers are also gsm running on 4G. I try it myself in two weeks or three.

both phones are basically the same
just that one has an unlocked bootloader, while one is completely dead in development
you won't be able to use all the bands on the phone, but besides that
you are getting more than what you paid for
It will work I've done it before

Yes it would work just fine
It will. Using an AT&T Note 4 here, with SK Telecom (Exynos variant) motherboard. No locked bootloader included.
Had issues with camera though, but I guess I'll eventually figure that out. Shouldn't be a problem to you though, since you are going to use motherboard from the T-Mobile ones anyway.
Hello I'm looking for a new motherboard because i can't root my phone because it's a Verizon variant... Do you know where I can find a motherboard please?

Cost prohibitive. Buy a replacement phone or live with it. With the 3 coming out soon, prices on the 2 will drop significantly and there will be a ton of refurbs available. Already $200 off on Fi.

You'd be wayyyy ahead by selling the VZN phone and getting an Unlocked phone, both on Swappa.
It's easy to take it apart, but not so much putting it back together right.
thanks for your reply but i live in France so i'll try to sell it here
