Can you provide some specifics? Tell us exactly what the problem is with the phone. What does it do, or what does it not do?

First he has to put it in a toilet that's been used and hasn't been flushed to make sure it's legit

Well another thread down the ****ter...
-Red5
After almost 7/8 months I have logged in to XDA. I love my Vibrant so much. It is now full stop. No light, no reboot screen, no response at all. I took it to the local Samsung Customer care. They told me that my phone's motherboard damaged. Can i change the motherboard myself? Where can I get new motherboard? They said they had no Samsung Vibrant motherboard so they couldn't do anything. What will I do? i have not enough money to buy a new android set. Please help me.
Buy a vibrant from craigslist or eBay with a cracked screen cheap

Idk what kind of services you have in your country like craigslist or amazon or eBay but you should be able to find one fairly cheap.

Ebay, Craigslist or amazon are not available in our country yet. Here this smart phones are exclusive and costly. I am trying to find out, tomorrow i'll go to a market. if they can help!!!
I want to know and have searched everywhere and blew up a ton of mainboard pics without a answer. Im going to have a local electronics expert get eather a 64 or a 128gb flash memory. Hopeing the new generation of the super fast ones. And clone my 16gb stock one and solder it into my main board. I know its overkill. But I would have a maxed out note 2. I just dont wana rip mine apart just to get the number. Im hoping some has it already. Thanks

I am very eager to do this as well as upgrade other hardware components (camera, speakers, lte antenna, etc). I hope you are successful in the memory swap. I will let you know if I have any luck.

The 16GB is part of the NAND. Replacing the whole thing might not be too hard. Getting it working again will be.
Yea ill see once I get a 64 or 128 chip. Again after I find out the pinout of the stock one. And find a flashing jig to clone the 16's memory onto it. Ill keep you guys informed but I still need the numbers. Thers a electronic store about 20 miles from me thats loaded to the brim with anything you could dream of and the owner has a lot of jigs and he told me he could clone if / when I find the oe number and if he has it.

I have all the new part numbers from samsung. Have the owner ready to do it. Would anybody be willing to donate a doner phone or somw funds for a phone and some chips. I dont wana decommission my phone. I need it fir everyday stuff and for work. So if people wana get a fund going and if it works out all donaters would get priority on this hard mod. What do you guys think?

Never mind. It would be better to have something to show before asking for a 500 phone.

Hey dude just ignore me. All I was saying is hard to get a device for recognized developers who is going to produce a product. It may be hard to get one to a new member with an experimental idea, but your never know. It would be awesome if it worked!

Someone could also donate 600 bucks to me and I'll play the lottery...IF the tickets win the donators will get priority of the winnings.
Well if I get it going ill update on progress. It would change tha game if I can get it to work . But I do need to comeup with the funding eather myself or with help. But gota love s.a. remarks. I guess I no who will not get any if it works.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
But how it would work. Is have people send me there mainboard. I have/do the upgrade. Flash/clone there old memory and send it back. It would be like your phones the same with just extra sd0 card space.

Like do you guys remember the ddwrt mods for the wrt54's where you upgraded the flash memory to a bigger chip to get mega ddwrt on one that could only run the minis or not flashable at all. Its just an idea. I dont like being held back by verizon and samsung to only 16gb. I need help is why I started this tread. Yea could use coin. But more for info from people that are good at flashing/programming experience. And info on the stock chip. Just stufd to see if or make this happen. That is all.

People on XDA get skittish when people want money for work unseen or high risk jobs. It is compounded by your unknown status in the community.
You will have to build a reputation with the community or show evidence that you can actually do this (I don't actually think you can). Until then, you will have to put up with the smart ass remarks.
I no im new regestered wise but I have been along for years just never realy signed up or made posts. But yea I hear what yall are saying . If it works it worka if not o well. But samy charges 100 to go from 16 to 32. Or 200 to 64. Say the chips costed 30 and I paid someone labor to do soldering an ad flashing say 50. I and a bunch of others would jump on the opertunity. But yea trial and error for now. But a 128gb note 2 and a 64 sd would be money!

Adryn said he didn't think it would work. I don't think I said that. However I actually don't think it will because I would imagine there is kind of major software mods that would need to be done. Kind of like how phones have limits on the size of sd cards they can use. But I'm no developer so I could be completely off, if it did work though it would be sick to have 64gb internal!

Ya I was thanking him for clarifying what I was trying to say. It may work, but he is a dev and doesn't think it will maybe some kernel changes will be needed or use the international kernel. ...I wouldn't really know

Where would you recommend for looking for a new device online? I use straight talk with an AT&T sim. I really want to upgrade and go for an S3 or something else in the near future. Just wanted to know where ya'll look when you are searching to buy a used device.
Cheers

Swappa is good, or eBay.
Amazon often has good deals. You may also want to check the OEM site directly.
