IMEI Fix due to new motherboard? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi guys !
A few weeks ago, I accidentally deadbricked my Galaxy Note I717 (known in Singapore as the Note 1 LTE/N7005) , so I sent it to a repair shop to get the whole motherboard replaced. I just got it back yesterday, and I could not get a stable signal at all , only LTE and GSM on rare occasions for a few minutes. I checked the IMEI and found out that the software's IMEI did not match the one printed on the back of the phone.
Any ideas how can I get this issue fixed WITHOUT buying a 3rd party SDT Box or such items?
Thanks !

From what I know, replacing the motherboard is like getting a different phone. So, you may need to contact your service provider and tell them that you repaired your phone. See if they can update your account to make your service work on the phone.

Galaxy SII won't read sim card

Hi, I saw someone is selling a galaxy s2 on ebay but he mentioned that the phone was unlocked but doesn't read sim card.
what do you guys think? easy fix? or hardware problem?
thanks
Try to perform a factory reset, if not bring it to the service center. My friend also has the same issue but it ended up as a repair , something went wrong with the contact points as per service center.
I'd be wary... Could it be because the phone has been reported as lost or stolen and blacklisted by the network? If that's the case and you buy it, there's no way you're going to get it to read your sim. Given that it's a recent phone, all the legit units are in warranty so I find it a bit strange that the seller wouldn't bother to have it fixed.

Samsung Galaxy S2 smartphone - Motherboard replacement

Hi All, I have been using S2 since 1 n half year. I have rooted my cell many times , recently I rooted my cell with Jelly Bean unofficial , it was working fine for 1 month , yesterday suddenly cell phone was switched off and it did not restart. When I took it to Samsung service center , the person says , there is problem with Motherboard whcih need to be replaced for 10000 rs. Can any one suggest for alternative / lesser price motherboard / any suggestion. Thanks in advance.
Check eBay/Google search to try & buy a 2nd hand broken phone/with a broken screen (someone on here also managed to find a 2nd hand board on its own about a week or so ago, I don't recall where from) you can pull the motherboard out of & swap into yours. If you're not confident doing it yourself, a local mobile shop may do it for your more cheaply than what you've been quoted for what I assume (??) is a new motherboard as opposed to a 2nd hand one.

[Q] Samsung S2 GTi9100 Dead- Soultion Need.

Hi Friends,
I am new to this website and I am here to get a possible DIY solution to restart my Galaxy S2.
Its been a week now and its not working at all . I have checked almost all videos and thread however unable to find a steamline solution.
My phone was showing Samsung logo in case of power Up however after that there was no responce. Tried several times but no luck.
Later I gave my phone to Samsung sevice station , guy gave the assurance to get it done in 3 hrs as its a normal thing. Today, I got my phone back in a dead state and he says (Sir, we are unable to reboot as it has some harware issue and will cost over 8k INR to change the mother board).
Guys, I dont find it worth investing on a 2 Yr old phone. Hence I want to take a chance to get it started myself.
Please Guide.
You can't. Do you think they make this stuff up at service centres or something ? Not everything is a Samsung conspiracy against users.
If your phone won't boot at all & shows no signs of life, what do you expect anyone here to say ? One way or another, if you want your phone to work again, you're replacing the motherboard. Whether you pay a service centre to put a new one in, or whether you source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone (one with a broken screen which is otherwise OK, for example) & either replace it yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop (who isn't a Samsung service centre) to do it, is up to you.
As you've already mentioned you have a 2 yr old phone that doesn't work, and it won't be working again without you spending a not insignificant amount money. If it were me, I'd be getting a new phone.

[Q] IMEI not accepting on new motherboard, other country phone

:crying:
Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me as I was just told that my Samsung Note II can not be repaired at all. Here is the whole story, it randomly concked off and showed nothing beyond the first screen " SAMSUNG Note II GT N7100". I was asked to do a hard reset and reboot, after using Odin and Kies nothing really worked. Post which I gave it for repairing to an experienced person, he tried everything possible concerning the software but later came back saying the mother board needs to be changed with bomb of an expense. I had not option but went ahead with his suggestion but later he got back to me saying " my IMEI Number can not be registered since its another country phone" i.e. UAE & I am in INDIA, so he suggested to try a known Note II pals IMEI number, after doing that it worked but the network did not accept and could not be used as a phone and therefore he gave up.
1) Is the 35K INR spent on it is gone in drain?
2) Can SAMSUNG help me with fix this?
3) What if i try with a friend who travels to UAE frequently to get it repaired from there with the new motherboard and imei registration?
I would really appreciate your honest, rational and a solution way forward to my above concern. Thanks friends!

S10 Lite both IMEI numbers the same after Samsung repair

A quick question...
I have a S10 Lite which was new. It is a dual SIM version and it had two separate IMEI numbers with last two digits of each IMEI being 2 digits apart.
However, it had a fault that required anew motherboard.
As it was under warranty I sent it back to Samsung, they collected it...replaced the motherboard and returned it back to me.
Now it has two IMEI numbers but they are both the same....same as one of the original numbers. The serial number is the same as the old board.
Is this normal practice for Samsung?
Would having the same IMEI numbers make any difference?
It doesn't sound normal to me. I would call the service to describe this and ask if it is normal.
In Note 8 i had a problem. Samsung service replaced the motherboard also. When i got the phone i found out it was 1 card (original it was dual). I don't remember what imei i saw, although i think i saw only 1 imei, so it is not exactly the same case as yours probably.
Anyone samsung service in my area is someone i know. I thought it replaced the motherboard with a single phone motherboard instead a dual phone. But it was a mistake in software. He installed wrong software making it single card phone.. I went there, i waited, we downloaded another software, we flashed it and phone went dual phone again.. If i didn't see it with my eyes i wouldn't believe it, that it was just software for this.
Anyway i suspect some flashing problem also in your case but i am not sure. I don't think 2 same imei is normal. Phone service.
