Hello all,
My wife's Note 5 was thrown in the toilet by our daughter. It quit working so I sent it back to Samsung. They said the motherboard was water damaged and not repairable by them. My question is this, there are more international model motherboards for sale on the internet than AT&T versions. Is there a major difference in internal design that would prevent my from putting a N920I board into a N920A? Plus, I would rather have the international model anyways.

It could? Depends if it has the same screw points and fits.

How would I figure that out? I've been looking on iFixit and different tear down videos to no avail.

Hi there,
Looking to see if anyone knows if the Sprint/Verizion models have different LCD-Digitizers than the GSM model. I have a GSM one that just had the LCD crack and i was looking on ebay for some replacements. Some of the cheaper posts don't have which version the part is from.
any help appreciated!

they are all fused... if your up to trying to do it anyways you are braver than I.The displays and digitizers had aught to be identical. The difference between models is the backs, and the motherboards. If you look at the physical differences, the toro/toroplus have a daugter board with a modem on it, and that accounts for the extra depth.
To me, seperating the digitizer and display would be more of a headache than buying one someone had dunked in water and just using the guts from that. Most of the cost of the phone is the display. The soc is only like $30 when buying quantities greater than 1000...

Oh im not planning on separating them. They are sold as one piece, i was looking to see if i buy a combined one if it would matter if it came from a cdma/LTE one to be placed on a gsm.
Shouldn't matter from what I know, they should all be pretty much the same

i'm in the same boat. if anyone is certain that an lcd-digitizer from an lte gnex is a perfect replacement for a gsm gnex, please do let us know.
Hi, so are they the same? I just cracked my screen and want to replace it.
Please let me know.
Much appreciated!

they are not the same. the cables are in different locations.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I wish it was otherwise! the sprint digitizer was much cheaper. Most of the sellers do not specify which version it'll work with and add to the confusion.

Not to mention they have different motherboard layouts so you will have to mod it heavily.

Hate to resurrect this old thread but can you tell me if the sprint and verizon versions are the same? My verizon has a cracked screen and the sprint replacements are DIRT CHEAP compared to the vzw versions.
Thanks!

Even though they're both CDMA / LTE? If you don't mind me asking, how do you know for sure? I was looking at photos of them on eBay and they look mighty similar but it's very hard to tell for sure.
Thank you so much for your replies.

Just like the title says.....I am looking at a replacement LCD for my wife's tmobile galaxy phone but I only find the Sprint one cheap. Are these interchangeable?

my cousin has the sprint one and they look 100 percent identical, form factor wise. Only question is the plug inside the device at the same spot on both devices? Try and look at a break down /disassembly of bothers variants to see what's inside

Well i'm fairly certain the LCD itself is interchangeable, the board is not. Switching the cases from a T-mobile to Sprint will not work, as the boards are constructed slightly differently on the top and bottom. the T-Mobile will not fit correctly in the back of the Sprint case, I (sadly) know from experience. :/
I have a tmonile note 3 but the bezel is all scratched and ugly looking. A friend of mine is selling me a sprint note 3 that he doesnt use anymore. Can i just fit my tmobile motherboard in his sprint note 3 or is it different than the sprint version? Please help. Thannks in advance.
put a case bro

I think the antennas are different in the layout... at least in previous models haha. No idea.
So it wont fit?

From what I've seen in pictures for motherboards on ebay, the antennae connection looks to be in the same location. As for other components idk if their locations are 100% same... So it Might fit...might...
you could just switch to sprint, they have a great promotion running {laughing out loud} /s

anyone importing a note7 for exynos and/or root?
any input isappreciated ,
as of now, there are roots for snaps too, where are you from?

'snaps'?
from ca, usa
snapdragon soc, the ones in usa and canada
I had a snap dragon version, got rid of it and got dual Sim card. Root, battery, dual sim, no bloat. Never looked back
yes, but I think jd342423 from california usa, wants an opinion about getting an international note7, well,
an exynos model is said to be more batt efficient, it was rooted earlier than snapdragons, but, it would present a potentially risk of no warranty support, I would get one of my region, I have taken several devices to my carrier, who only accepts the ones officially sold in my country

Yes but with major drawbacks and limitations.
Hardly your "standard" root method.
I have an FD unit but got it from a store locally seemed a better option than ebay etc.if i have any issues with it i can deal with them face to face instead of trying to get someone over the internet to help with the issue.
Its kind of hard to ignore or screw a customer when hes standing 2 ft from you lol

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?

I believe so far its not possible
I have at&t s4 and i am looking forward to replace it with diffrent model motherboard but many technician says not possible cuz rest of the hardware is also at&t based and will not match the the motherboard
seems like at least one person did it

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.
