Ill make it simple

Logic Board = Motherboard

IMEI is stored on a chip on your logic board this is all soldered together you dont touch a damn thing on the logic board.

Move the logic board from the one with the cracked screen into the one with the good screen reconnect the lcd and camera and so and your done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ok that's what I was looking for. I owe everyone a beer!

Now, how do I copy the IMEI from the working one and then put it in the replacement motherboard? I have 4.3 firmware on the working unit so I don't think I can root it, so is there a way to make a backup of the IMEI and or EFS partition or whatever I need to change the old unit's identity?

I CANNOT use the old unit's IMEI because it was reported as lost and was supposed to be returned to the insurance company. I just need to switch their identities. I can handle the hardware swap and I'm pretty sure I can handle the IMEI swap if it's possible and I can get some directions.

Thanks again and I need to know how to buy all involved a beer or two!

I may be wrong but I don't believe XDA will allow that to be discussed on here due to potential fraud issues (and I believe IMEI porting may be "illegal").
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Ok so I'm screwed? I paid a lot of money for this bloody phone and Verizon hosed it up with their damm updates. All I want to do is make the broken one work. Is it possible someone can help me? If you want to do it privately, be assured I will not use it for anything illegal and I will not give the information out to anyone. If it's possible to back up the IMEI info when rooting and installing a custom, ROM, wouldn't that be the same thing? PLEASE HELP ME!

Please advise as I am desperate to get my phone working properly again. Otherwise, I will have to buy a new one and I don't have that kind of money to waste! I'd rather make a donation here!

Thanks again

Esn/Imei swapping is highly illegal. Not only does it void your contract but if they catch you doing it they might say you were trying to get away with fraud.. on that note I'll on you some info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xdtrammell:
Yeah all I'm going to say to him is look into imei cloning
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Is it possible to re-flash the logic board with the older firmware using a JTAG? That might be easier? All I want to do is get one of my note II's rooted and be able to install a custom ROM on it.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
Mobiletechvideos can do it. There is a new thread with a member confirming it. Seems pretty reasonable at $75 for the service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xdtrammell:
Hi my phone broke and I just got it back from samsung and they updated me to 4.3 with the no bootloader so no hopes of unlocking it. I would really like to install this rom. Is there anyway to convert the zip into a tar package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geekcop:
If you have the official VZW 4.3 upgrade, you're out of luck. No one has come up with a method to root it yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
This isn't correct. Rooting is possible but not unlocking the bootloader.

And to the OP that isn't an option. However, mobiletechvideos have a service to downgrade the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geekcop:
Good to know. Last I heard this wasn't possible, but then that was a while ago

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInsanity:
I have looked at a few reviews of this tablet and most of them are very positive about it.

I want a tablet that I can write a few word documents on as well as a bit of gaming at a decent price, and given that I would purchase the keyboard with it I imagine it would be perfect for the odd word document.

But before I make my purchase I just want to know two things about this tablet:

Does GTA San Andreas run OK on this tablet?

What is the performance like currently? Do those kitkat ROMS in the dev section impove performance?

Thanks in advance guys.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
KitKat ROMs in the Dev section are whats keeping the tablet alive. They are pretty fast and much faster than the Asus stock ROM.

I dont do an excessive amount of gaming, but it does work fine for word documents.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibleedbinari:
My Galaxy S4 is unable to boot into charge mode (when I plug it in when it is off). It will turn on, but start on the screen displaying the battery icon and never finish booting into charge mode. As a result, it ends up draining the battery and doesn't charge at all.

So, what part of the phone contains the "charge mode"? What do I need to wipe/restore to get it working again? Is something else wrong?

I can post screenshots if needed, but I am doing many tasks at the moment, so I'll only put them up if needed later.

[General Questions and Answers] RoachForLife:
Hello all. Planning to get a MHL 2.0 cable for my note 3 but I also want to hook up a keyboard and mouse. I have a logitech k/b that uses wireless signal via a USB dongle. I figured the OTG cable would suffice but naturally once the MHL cable is in, there is no way to also use the OTG cable. Curious if there is some sort of hub that allows at least 1x micro usb and 1x full size usb, or some sort of splitter? I realize a bluetooth keyboard and mouse is probably another solution but would prefer to avoid if I could.

Thanks!

I have been pestering at&t customer service about it as frequently as I can. Maybe once a week.

The chat guys are really nice but they admit they dont know anything about the update. They admit it has been released over 3 months ago (by samsung to at&t) and that they have to sanction it first. They also say "i dont konw, might be never".

I got a chat guy for AT&T to admit that 4.4.2 for S4 was released 2/26/2014

So if it was this recently, note 3's update is probably coming soon.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
The title really should be changed.

1: it is misleading and makes people think it has been released

2: it has not been released so this "discussion" is exactly the same as the rest all over the forums.

3: it is a question in the OP asking for an ETA. Not really allowed and nothing has been said or heard on when it comes out. It gets released when it gets released. And since it is a question, it belongs in the QA section.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeastSpencer:
if at&t follows their usual update patterns, i expect it will be released in late april or early may (when the s5 is coming out). im assuming they're just waiting for the s5 to come out before releasing kitkat so people will buy the s5 instead of the s4 since it will be their only kitkat phone. just an educated guess :P

Good find on that page you mentioned http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N900AZKEATT

Definitely says AT&T and 4.4.

I asked the AT&T chat people if KitKat 4.4 was available/rolling out yet and Shandale Sun Bear (wtf?) said (I quote):

Shandale Sun Bear: I do only see that the only devices that got the update was LG devices. The update has not be released yet for other devices.

Since it was released for AT&T Galaxy S4 ......... clearly these guys are all complete ****ing idiots who dont talk to each other within their own company.......

I responded.

ryaske: It has been for Samsung Galaxy S4....

ryaske: I know that for a fact

ryaske: So please double check your information

ryaske: I am asking about Galaxy Note 3 however. I checked if there is an update available through the phone and there is not, but now samsung's website says I should be able to buy one from your AT&T store with 4.4 on it........ so I'm wondering

Shandale Sun Bear: Samsung say you can buy a device with the update on it?

ryaske: Yes, because that page I just linked you to says clearly "AT&T Galaxy Note 3"

ryaske: And it says under specs, KitKat 4.4

Shandale Sun Bear: Samsung releases an update but we fully test the software and push the update to customers.

ryaske: Yes, that I'm aware of ... I'm asking, have you started pushing that yet for Note 3?

Shandale Sun Bear: No we have not. Samsung may have released the software but AT&T has not sent the update to our customers due to further testing of the software.

I've recently been having a play with the Voice Tag function on my Wizard. I can call any of my contacts by voice, and I can perform a plethora of functions on my phone by voice (helped by the added hardware button functions that Pocket+ provides). Now i'm wondering if I can do even MORE by voice, i.e. a spoken password, dialing by saying each number, that kind of thing?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
Yeah,

Dump the cheezy Cyberon Voice Dial and get Microsoft Voice Command or Cyberon Voice Commander.

Both allow you to access PDA functions such as launch programs, access calander etc.

Additionally they allow "Dial 444 555-1234"

In my opinion MS Voice Command is better.

I've played with Cyberon Voice Commander because it will read e-mail and text messages but I've found it to be useless. Also Cyberon has too much of a delay from activation to ready for voice input for my tastes.

Oh yeah, neither of these requires "Voice Tags", they work by recgonizing your spoken voice!

Cyberon Voice Commander costs about $20,

MS Voice Command is about $40.

Both can be purchased at Handango.com
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Danny-B-:
Now ... call me silly, but wouldnt it be a slight security risk shouting your password at your device to unlock it ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kyphur:
Maybe that's why none of these products supports it!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jimmyhauser:
I have given up on MS Voice Command. It works well, as long as you dont use it with Bluetooth.

It dials once or twice, but then stops responding to the Bluetooth command button. The only way I can get it to work is to press the bluetooth button twice to redial the last call, quickly hit the button again to cancel the call, and then, sometimes, the long press will initiate voice command again.

Jumping through hoops like this make the program pretty worthless to me. To dial numbers in the car is all I need if for, and that is where it doesnt work. I will stick with the voice tags.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
That's not VC's issue, it's your BT stack issue. On my K-JAM I press once to activate the BT audiogateway, press again to issue the VC. Works every time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jimmyhauser:
Press once activates the phone over bluetooth (sometimes anyway, sometimes nothing happens at all), pressing again does nothing. Believe me, I have tried EVERYTHING. I was messing with it for two hours doing every combination I could think of. The only thing that works is a double press for redial, end the call right away, then I can activate VC again(sometimes). And the cycle repeats.

On the other hand, built-in voicetag dial works everytime, and I dont have to activate the bluetooth first. One long press prompts for voice dial EVERY TIME.

So I beg to differ, it is an issue with voice command.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jthornburgh:
Same for me. Sometimes the recgonition isn't the same over bluetooth, but I never have to try more than twice. I use my VC for everything.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
So how do you account for it working consistantly fine for some, and others not?

BTW, my VC is loaded on the device, not on a storage card.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] makelly2:
VC Usage Vs. VS VC Memory Usage

I've had VC on and off of my 8125 since I bought it in April.

The main problem I have with MSVC is whether its use (or lack there of) validates the amount of memory it uses.

For someone that makes calls primarily off of his recent call list, I find that the usability benefit does not outweigh the memory usage.

Wish there was a way to disable / enable the functionality, as to release that memory for other applications.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jimmyhauser:
Believe me, I am not an expert on this, I am just trying to figure things logically. But I would bet it has to do with the fact that you are probably using a different bluetooth handsfree device than I am. Maybe that was what you were referring to when you said it was a bluetooth issue. Or maybe it is the fact that you have a different model of phone.

What I am saying is that it cant be the bluetooth software on my phone, because the cyberon voice dial works fine over bluetooth, where the MS voice command does not.

And I have voice command on the phone also. All my programs are. I only keep music and videos on the storage card.

And voice command works great when using on the phone itself. I am amazed at how well and how quickly the recognition works. It just doesnt respond well to my Nokia car kit. And maybe that is the problem.

My wife's car has the same bluetooth kit as my car, I am going to try it in her car one of these days to see if I have the same problems there. She has a Nokia 6682, and her bluetooth voice dialling works great.

And also, does VC really use that much memory? If so, I think may take it off the phone. (I use it a little when not in the car) But if it is considerable, then I agree that it is not worth it.
