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.

My phone was dead (had to change motherboard) so I sent it back to the lg service center.....
How long does it take to fix my p500?
#Maybe it's different from your country but never mind
if its in america from tmobile it will only take a day or two but they send the phone first
I don't think they change motherboard for a bad update or flash rom went bad kind of dead phone. They just hook up the phone to a jtag (something) and flash fresh rom.

OP never mentioned it was due to bad update/flash. Anyway it shouldn't take more than a week for you to get your phone back.
Well 4silvertooth is right.....
Is the flash KDZ problem
Thanks for all the replies

You should be fine if you are in warranty.. You will get either a replacement or a refurbish one, as long as it was not physically damaged or the water sensor has not been tripped.

When a device had problems and is sent back to the shop, they fix it and sell it again, that why refurbished stuff is cheaper.

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?

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

Hello Xda I've soft bricked my S3 I can access download mode.
I got into this problem cause I flashed Supernexus it worked fine for a few days. Until I went into bootloop and couldn't do anything I couldn't access recovery so I just flashed the stock rom and now the phone only boots into download mode and can be viewed by odin also it says on the phone please connect to kies in recovery. I done this put the phone doesn't get recognised any ideas and help will be appreciated
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda app-developers app
if you can't access recovery after reflashing a stock ROM, send it to service
and ask for help in the help section, not here
They won't help because its rooted and stuff also i have a slight crack so sending it into service will cost me like 200$ to repair
What build are you using? Looks like I'm moving away from that ROM 0.o

yeah, the other option is to throw the phone away. your call.
or you can also be doing something wrong.
or you can hope for me to be wrong.
i've been searching around an they calling this the ''sudden death syndrome'' and can happen at any time to a select few all you have to do is send it into service and get it repaired for free but i can't because i've got a slight hairline crack so my warranty is void and they are asking for around £150 for repairing this phone
You have a software problem not hardware. The crack has nothing to do with that. I had a crack on my S1 but sent it to service for new USB port - no problems.

I've rang them again after you said this and said sorry we can't do anything until u repair the screen by us or yourself. Also they said we can't guarantee that the problem I got was not from my crack so they said no to repairing for free they asking for 135£ to repair the crack
Then they'll replace the motherboard for free
