Samsung S9 US Version with a UK Motherboard - Camera Failed - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi, I was given a broken Samsung S9 and the fix was a new motherboard. Im in the UK so I ebayed a motherboard for a Samsung S9. The new motherboard is a 960F but when I replaced the existing motherboard the one inside was a 960U. Now the camera is not working.
Is the fix the flash the new 960F with a new firmware for a 960U? Will that work? Can anyone give me some advise please.

No, the UK motherboard needs UK firmware.
But there are some hardware components that were not replaced, such as the front camera.
Maybe there is a kind of incompatibility.
Or the back camera of the motherboard is corrupt.

Buying a Digitizer:

Hello Guys,
I am currently living in Brazil and and after my n7000 crashed and damaged even the touch, I need to buy a new digitizer for it. It is impossible to get a new one in Brazil as Samsung created a policy that international phones will not be repaired in Brazil (not speaking of warranty, they don't accept even money for that). My mobile was purchased in J&R and is probably Chinese or Korean.
Can someone direct me to a place to buy a new one from Samsung ? I've searched e-bay and the digitizers there are of a generic brand and I am not willing to pay US$250,00 for a generic one.
Also, have anyone heard about any hardware issues with the N7000 ? I purchased another one from Brazil because of the problem above and it came defective, with some intermitent problems, like the screen getting green sometimes (similar to the visual effect when you break and LCD monitor) but it occurs only very rarely. Does anyone knows about any issues about the n7000 models ?
Thank you and best regards,
Amid

The Motherboards go for like 15€ on Ebay
My Phone doesn't start up anymore, any I really want to remove Branding, can I just pop in a new european motherboard in or does branding affect some other hardware aswell?
There are 2 chips exynos and snapdragon so u have to choose the right motherboard or else cámaras won't work as they are made for specific mobo. If u in us swap att with tmobile is the same. If u have euro/exynos swap with euro mobo

A50 NFC version VS A50 non NFC

hello guys,i just wanna ask about the different A50 NFC vs Non NFC,i already have A50 non NFC version and i thinking about to costume or mod my A50 to become a NFC version,is that possible or not? NFC is from the hardware or a software?
thx all
Nfc is a hardware chip so its not possible to make A50 nfc enabled handset
Is that a known fact? Has anybody checked if the nfc hardware is not present in non nfc enabled A50s? Some companies dont enable features in their phones for different licensing issues, but the hardware is still present.
Good Luck With That Move...
It's A Moot Point...
Either Samsung in your Region supports Samsung Pay MST / NFC or they do not.
You can try to flash a different CSC... but I would flash the "Un-Teathered" Firmware version 1st..... then try an Odin Flash of a specific Region's Firmware.
Good Luck With That.. :angel:
If someone figures out how to activate NFC on the non-NFC A50, I would be very grateful and interested.
I bought the A50 in the UAE and never imagined it wouldn't have NFC in the UAE version especially since a lot of websites report the A50 has NFC.
All my phones since 2012 have NFC and I could not have imagined Samsung would not have NFC on a phone like the A50 in all markets.
I guess the first question is whether the non-NFC A50 has the NFC hardware / antenna installed? If it does, then maybe a ROM / region / software solution exists ...
I flashed the Indian CSC rom to see if activates the NFC function in my UAE (non-NFC) A50. It does not.
I suspect the phone does not have the hardware but I cannot confirm this. If anyone has any further ideas for getting NFC working, please share. Thanks.

I think that 505F has diferent hardware than 505FN because 505F is manufatured in India and 505FN is manufactured in S. Korea. So, Im pretty sure that 505F hasnt included Nfc chip on motherboard.
Tearing apart
I teared apart my A505G, and it dosen't have the antenna but there are 2 non soldered contacts. I suspect those are from the NFC, so maybe if I can get the NFC antenna from the European version, it may work. If someone know a repair shop that sells that, please notify me.
