Warranty of my S2 is over and motherboard of S2 is damaged I guess because of overcharging... I took it to the service center, but they told that motherboard needs to be replaced....!!!
So my question is if I place this damaged motherboard to the in warranty S2(My friend has bought S2 few months ago) and my friend's motherboard to my S2...
Will it work ??
Will the service center get know abt this to get motherboard replaced in warranty ???
Will I get caught ??
Is there any Identification for motherboard ???
Thanx in advance...!!!
Don't know man never tried such things.
Its hard to tell .
The board has its own Id also but I don't know that service center persona check this or not

So I've been trying to repair my phone for three days. (I don't have a backup of my efs folder) I've tried the steps in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
NOTHING WORKS, the drivers provided don't install my phone. I really don't know what to do. can anybody help?
Is it that the drivers will ONLY work on the AT&T S3?

Yeah ofcause u have to pay for a repairment,u ****ed it up and want someone else to fix it..
BUT,it's not that expensive and it's worth it and when u get back from repair..backup your EFS folder with"k-tool" free from market and with galaxy s3 toolkit v5(by mskip).find it in "original android development"
How much did you pay to get it repaired?

Hi there Folks....
My SGS3 Pebble Blue suddenly went dead. I leave my phone overnight with 17% battery charge, I dont remember well if the wifi was on, but in the morning it was completely dead, no button respond at all. Thinking that the battery has been emptied, i plug in the charger, but the phone doesnt respond, not even the LED nor the battery display that is charging. So, I leave it on the charger for a couple of hours, like 3 or 4 hours but still its dead.
My SGS3 is running at Omega ROM v34, everything is working fine before the incident, no lags, no system crashes. It is made in vietnam and I got it from a local network provider in Phillippines.
What can i possibly do to revive my SGS3? I could not send it to Samsung for warranty because, first it is running in custom firmware, next is warranty is completely void because i have already replaced my LCD Screen last month. I dropped my phone and the Screen was damaged so I ordered a screen replacement and I myself replaced the damaged screen.
Please help, I have no idea what happened....
Sounds like the S3 "Sudden Death" issue that was in the media some days ago (so the chance is high that it is a physical defect and you can't do much against it...).
Try a google "Galaxy S3 Sudden Death" search and you should get tons of informations about the issue. As far as i know Samsung Support repairs/replaces damaged devices without trouble.
Looks like they replace the mainboard on those damaged devices. Some people are saying that it might be some sort of planned obsolescence that kicks in to early.
That would also explain why Samsung is not talking about those issues at all and repairing/replacing damaged devices without further asking.

Unfortunately my S3 died on me as well on the eve of new year!
I'm waiting for the holidays to be over so I can send it to the Samsung service center.
Hopefully, they will cover the repairs with the warranty and they will not notice that my phone is rooted and running on custom software..

Does it mean that my mobo died even if I can still boot in download mode?
Thank you!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk HD
Yes... To double check... Go to download mode and see whether brand name ''i9300''is there... If no, pit partition messed up... Confirm motherboard dead..

Have sent in the unit yesterday to the service center. They have checked the download mode and asked me if I did some rooting and I said no.
From the download mode they cannot see the product name but there is no custom binary download numbers too so they said it is covered by warranty and just this morning, I called them up to follow up and they said they already ordered a new motherboard. I asked again if there are no problems with regards to the warranty and they have confirmed that it is indeed covered. Hopefully, in a week I'll get the repaired unit

So have you gotten your phone back yet? Which service center did you bring your unit to?
My mobile's motherboard is damaged(it is in warranty)..problem is if I sent to service centre how do I know that it is changed or just temporarily repaired..coz there are 3 to 4 service centres in hyderabad city..I asked one the service centre to replace my product coz it is damaged in fist week itself..he intelligently repaired the motherboard temporarily(instead of replacing it, so that he need not replace the product) and said sorry sir it was not a motherboard problem it is some connector problem and it was replaced..but im really worried.. now its temporarily ok..but in future it will create so many problems..I have to run around service centres and that to I will have no freedom of using custom roms(this is the main reason I bought s3..so please guys CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO KNOW THAT MY MOTHERBOARD IS REPLACED or any app that can tell my mobile's motherboard model no. ..PLZZ HELP ME..

IMEI number changed is a clue
Dowbload the emmc checker app from the play strore...if the chip no. Is oxf7 then it has been changed most certainly... And if it is still oxf1 then it may or may not have been changed.

If you have a backup of your EFS from the old mainboard and the new mainboard then compare the nv_data.bin files @ 0x00180000 if this data is different then the mainboard has been changed. If you still have the old mainboard and your taking it into service and want to know if its been changed while in service, then *#03# and compare these numbers, is most simple method.

Technically speaking, what data (and from where) is that command reading?
If you have one of the bad boards, aren't they obliged to change it anyway? If you say that your having issues that software cannot fix then I can't see them simply sending it back

I think I have this problem too.
I can't flash any ROM in my phone. One time I tried to flash a ROM via mobile Odin (I have done it many times before) and it get stuck and i has not able to enter either download mod or recovery so I send the mobile to repair and they "repair" it under warranty. But actually I have the same problem and when I try to flash a ROM with pc odin it also gets stuck...at "Get PIT for mapping.." I don't know what to do.. They should have replaced the motherboard but they didn't.

You need to use your warranty and take it back to your service centre or repair shop.
Where are you located? If your not under warranty, I do dead boot repair, among other things. For much cheaper than a repair shop, online JTAG service, or filling an insurance claim, I might add.
