Hi, I think that the motherboard should only work for one specified model and not for another model, but you can try it, you won't pay anything for the test.

There are no stocks in my country for either board (not even second hand) so i would have to order one and i cant find any reference/listing to the porsche design board. Just other parts like the cameras and screen. Even AliExpress just brings up the mate 9 pro motherboard and nothing for the porsche design one, so was checking if it was the same before ordering one.

i think we can not find parts for HTC because its some sort of HTC policy do not sell parts for resellers.
all the things that are sold on ebay are cheap china knockoffs(at least P3300 parts):
TouchScreens
They work but are not the same quality as original HTC screens.
housing/covers
i bought one - visually it really looks very promising but its not the same as original. Its no usable. I dont know how to say this in english properly - ground circuit? is really bad on these knockoff housing covers.

Replacing Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-i9195) MainBoard?

Hi everybody.
My Galaxy S4 Mini suddenly went off when using it while it was being charged. I took it to a repair store and they said the the phone's Main Board/Circuit Board/Logic Board is done and it only can be fixed by replacing.
I have found an old S4 Mini that I can buy on a website, but the problem is that the phone is a 32 GB version and my phone is 8 GB version. Will it be a problem if I replace it? Will the other parts of the phone adopt to the new Main Board?
I have also found another website where you can order phone Main Boards from China, but I'm not sure what to do.
Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks for your time and response(s) in advance.

hard to know as they have probably changed more than just the memory chip, I don't know though. I know that replacement power boards do not always work with newer motherboards, so it's a bit risky. But this sort of thing has worked on other phones, there was an article a couple of weeks ago here on XDA where someone changed the memory 32GB chip for a 64GB in a Nexus (?), but that's a different scenario,
What is wrong with the 32GB phone? If it's just a cracked screen or something you probably have a better chance of putting your screen in that phone and using that, but it's still a slight risk.
Sourcing from China can be risky, but I've bought stuff from there before and it's arrived as promised, mostly via ebay though, buying from Hong Kong is much safer I think.

Thanks for your reply.
The 32 GB phone as you precisely guessed has a cracked screen. I hadn't actually thought of swapping the screen. It could even be a better solution :good: (will ask the repair shop first, whether they will do it).

AFAIK there's no 32 Gb version, only 8/16Gb. Maybe the seller is including the microSD memory in the overall capacity?
I've replaced 5 or 6 mainboards of the i9195, the first two were bought in China (Aliexpress), and they worked ok. the rest of the mainboards were bought to a local seller in eBay with a minimal price difference. Here's a good guide to access the mainboard, it was very easy to do (you only need to follow the 3 first steps): https://es.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+Mini+Home+Button+Flex+Cable+Assembly+Replacement/47582
Keep in mind that almost all the mainboards are second handed, so there's a chance to have Knox tripped or data inside them. I've had all of them with Knox 0x0, but if you really need it then you must ask the seller before you buy it.

It looks like as you mentioned, there aren't any 32 GB version. I assume that's a misunderstanding.
So, taking your experiences, I assume that changing motherboards should fix the phone and it wouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your time.
Hi guys! My friend has a i9190 3g model, lafleur edition, but she wants to use LTE. I9195 LTE model doesn't come in lafleur colors, so I thought to buy i9195 mother board and just put it to 9190's frame. Can anybody tell me is it possible or not?

Hi.
In another post someone has asked a question which is somehow similar to your question (you can check it out here Will i9190 case and screen protector fit i9192?).
If I'm not wrong, the answers suggest that the internal hardware are compatible with other models and/or they fit in other model's case, but you may want to send a reply there and ask your specific question.

G4 Motherboard Replacement. Need help picking the right one?

Classic G4 bootloop. I offered to fix this phone for a family member not knowing how much of a head ache I'd be in right now 12 hours after I started.
Anyways, I've tried pretty much everything. I'm just going to get a new motherboard and replace it. But I've never replaced a motherboard on a phone before. Is there anything specific I need to match up with the new board?
The G4 I'm working on is a H810 (AT&****) model. The firmware is Marshmallow 6.0. Any other info you need, just let me know.
Appreciate the help!

Pm seller before purchasing
Better to take ur time when making purchase like this
Try Amazon as well
I personally don't like buying off eBay because off all the products that come from China....and they take up to 2/months to receive

MCU GS Hardware request VW

Hi fellow XDA members.
My radio GS MCU died due to hardware issues (broken and in not reparable state lanes due my own fault) and i'm searching for a replacement mainboard. Not the SoM with the CPU/MEM/EMMC
It's a VW DVD GS model which i upgraded from PX3 to PX30 to PX5. (Android 5.1, 6.0, 8.0, 9.0) I have contacted several sellers in China but they all reply they cannot deliver me a replacement part due to the age of the hardware. When trying to figure out i noticed that GS still creates mainboards but with an updated layout and chips but the connection ports are still the same. Not sure why they wont deliver me a replacement part.
Does anyone of you have a broken unit but the mainboard OK that i can buy?
Or let me know how i can in contact with the GS Factory. I tried to contact them using their address on the website of the factory but never received a reply.
The pictures included show you the board which is defective.
FlatcablePort layout:
2 ports for the SDcards
1 port for the LCD and its buttons
1 port for the DVD drive.
Thank you for who can help me out in my quest to fix the radio .
Compatible boards:
GS, CHG, XRC-602-MAIN
I'm from the Netherlands/Belgium.
Looks like a GS board Have you had a look on aliexpress, I see there are a number of resellers selling main boards.
The other option is to try Xtrons, you'll need their model code however. I was able to get a GS board out of xtrons quoting their model number a couple of years ago.
Also, consider an HA board from Dasaita - as long as the rear connector layout is the same, you should be ok.

That it is a GS board, that i already knew It was delivered with a PX3 5.1 board and i updated the MCU in the past.
The seller who sent me the device was contacted but he blocked me off with the message: They dont make that radio anymore so no repair parts. Which i think is a BS story but hey who can blame them. Why selling parts when you can sell a complete unit..
I tried several resellers but almost all denied or didnt answer. They only sell complete sets. I'm only able to find the board from the Dasaita, which is not compatible with my system due to the missing ports for the second SD and DVD player. (The one i found on Aliexpress)
Xtrons was the first and only one to reply willing to help but due to Corona i only get an confirmation around march.
I do not have a model number of their device which is the same as the one i have. I did sent all the info i had with some hope they can hook me up.
I found the same system but the reseller sees my messages (Aliexpress lets you know) but did not respond.
Link: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000175298519.html
It's the same radio with the Android 5.1 manual, the seller only replaced the SoM's and selling them for the price of the newer systems.
Here's one that might be close enough https://a.aliexpress.com/_snm0Pb
Over priced though, you might be able to negotiate.
What happened with the mainboard, possibly repairable?

The board is beyond repairable, i made a screw up and its damaged badly.
A response was received by the seller of the same device stating that they do not sell parts.
I found this one, which meets the requirements and contacted the seller.
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32879522002.html
This one also denied.
Update 12-02-2020.
I figured out that a CHG board is also compatible.
Nobody has a board available? I contacted several resellers but all did reply that they did not sent out parts and even the seller where i did get the unit from denied to sent a repair part and wanted me to order a complete new unit..

Where to buy real LG G4 (H815) motherboards?

All the motherboards on Aliexpress are fake - run @steadfasterX's SALT and it shows they've all been modified in some way, with crazy ARBs of 20 and even 40!
Where (or which seller) would you guys recommend getting legit motherboards, and not frankenboards?
The phone was released in 2015, I don't think LG still makes motherboards for this phone.

I haven't checked recently but there is/ was an Israel- based seller on ebay selling H815 boards. I bought two a couple years back, about $50 apiece, the default language is Hebrew but of course a different one can be selected during setup... Still amusing that the phone dialer shows Hebrew numbering. AFAIK they are real, never had any problems.

Hi guys, I seem to have a franken h815 too. I wanted to find out the actual model by checking the motherboard.
All that I see is a little qr code with one number underneath: RS1017 (or BS1017) and one number on the side: 066C15. I could not find out which model corresponds to that, could you help me?
Edit: Found it out already, the model is written on the backside of the motherboard

I've noticed all the sellers like to cover that part of the motherboard with stickers. Clearly deliberate.
