My phone committed suicide in the toilet (never put it near it, someone called me and it moved with the vibration and fell) . I was able to dry it, but there is a pink dot indicating this water damage, so I guess my guarantee is broken Everything seems to work well, except that people can't hear me when calling.
There are 2 mics on this phone, so I guess it is the main one under the buttons that got damaged. I can still use voice recognition apps like Google translator, but I guess that uses the second mic.
I have seen a piece for this phone in eBay that is the 3 buttons part, and I think this part includes the mic, so maybe I'm lucky and I can repair it, all I need is the service manual or some guide with pics, and advice to be sure about it.

Thanks a lot! But those docs didn't solve my doubt, some time ago I think I saw some other pdf with much more details and pics about the parts, but I can't find it.
I'm still wondering how to fix the mic. I'll get a picture of the 3 buttons part where I suppose the mic is. Maybe you can advice me
I found this part in ebay, do you think this will include the mic?
I searched mt15 keypad

I just searched "mt15 keypad" or "xperia neo keypad" and selected origin from all countries. I found this piece cheaper in my town, so I hope I can get it there. I just need some advice to know if I should replace that piece, those manuals that taaviu linked don't explain very clearly

Look and find red or pink colored papers in your phone.
One is right in back side battery.
If they are white, then all ok.
If red or pink..then your phone have some water damage.

Did the repair work?
Hello devrruti,
I've a similar problem on my neo and I was wondering if you managed to fix the mic problem and/or got the appropriate service manuals?
Problem description: Phone went in washing machine and now people can't hear me on a call. However, when I put the phone on 'speaker' mode then I can be heard! (Perhaps that's related to the presence of the two mics).
Thanks!
Same Problem with my phone too...

I finally bought it on a local store, I was about to fix it, it just requires patience and take a look at the pdf our videos about disassembling it. It is a tricky part to fix.
But my phone got stolen, so for the greedy person that didn't want to return it to me, it won't be very useful
I never got to try this solution. I still have this part, maybe if sending it is cheap I can sell it to you. If you are a bit skilled you could fix it yourself.
Hi, as many of gs2 users last days I have bricked my beautiful phone ;x jtag cant connect with it, i figured out that there are only two ways, I can buy crushed one and replace motherboard or find a source of flash (emmc) chips and replace it. And there is a question, is there any chance to order this chip? Anywhere? My unofficial service told me that the will try to find this part but I want to find something on my own too.
Same problem here, what came of your situation did you get the chip ?
Dying to know too.. :crying:
its complicated and I needed to use black magic but I have new device for price of 50$, your last chance is to look for broken device
Hello
I have a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100

/ sdcard / efs
Since the files in a folder efs empty where there is no any files and also I do not keep any backup copy of these files.
If I type * # 06 # the results in IMEI is: null/null

I will search but you think the Riff Box Supported Samsung Models : I9100 ??!
and this box will repair the phone??
I think riff box not support Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 but it supported I9100G and i don't if this box it will be fix the problem.
I saw some couple of riff boxes last summer. And from the research I've made with them yes they support i9100 and that was the possibility to repair or modify imei. I don't remember the name of the boxes but as you discribe the box that supports the 9100g it shoukd support the normal 9100 just update the box software.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Unless you know what you're doing, don't try using a riff box or attempt a JTAG. Take it to someone who has already done hundreds of them. If you mess it up, you'll end up needing a motherboard replacement, and even worse, if you're careless with the soldering iron preparing to JTAG, you'll bork your phone beyond repair.
Be smart.
Riff boxes generally don't use soldering. Just a usb filter. And if someone as a riff box knows how to use it. Same for jtag thats even complexer. This yes uses soldering and don't advice that. But the riff boxes are ok. I've used two of them in galaxy s and galaxy s2 like child play. It's not dangerous when you know what you're doing.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
That's right, when you know what you're doing. 95% of people on here (n00bs) don't, it's the whole 'if you have to ask, don't try it' thing which clearly applies in this person's case. I mean, they didn't even have the wherewithal to make an EFS backup which could have fixed this problem fairly easily.
If they're smart, they'll pay someone to fix it.
Yes but i don't think he owns a riff box. Someone he knows owns one. But needs some updates. And maybee can help him. I don't think he should do it be himself.
And friend don't try to repair with i9100g settings from the box. You will loose your phoe!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
very easy my friend if you have ns pro download the baseband repair for that model and then you download the file flash it with ns pro and repair imei with the same box

SGS2 service manuals attached (with thanks to TheUnderling). Rest is up to you.
thanks for your reply. All the info that you have read are from service manual but I can't go ahead if not have confirm of part description. In service manual have only part number or I'm wrog?
thanks again
You have admitted that changing individual components is not easy (damage to two other parts while replacing one) the fact of the matter is that all the components on that board are micro sized and surface mounted....aka...really difficult to successfully replace....you could end up paying a small fortune to get that board working again.....
Why not just "cut your losses" and buy the entire board from somewhere like ebay for what amounts to small pocket change.
But be advised....there are 3 versions of this module available. ...rev 2.2, rev 2.3 and rev 2.4
You have to match the module in your phone or it STILL won't work...

I have not damaged have lost because I have removed them for having a better management but me they are falled to earth and not them meeting
It's very difficult find to a good price the low price that I've found is 100€. rev are for all country? I can change with a motherboard of other country without problem? if someone can help with a good price or with components I will be very happy. Thanks keithross39!
The "rev" version is dependent on how old the phone is.....it's not country specific as the voltage available at the charger output is USB standard. ....
Take a look at this thread. ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265091
it'll show you where to find the right version number.
When I replaced the board, I got my replacement from ebay for £6 gbp (7-8 €?) So it's really not that expensive to do......
Edit....it's the USB charger board, NOT the motherboard that you need to search ebay for.....

I have already change (probably have a different version you're right) but with service manual I've check and the cap near the u504 have 5v so should be ok or not?
I need to replace the res and cap anyway... someone have info about this? Thank you very much all
You're welcome re: the service manuals, btw.
thanks but in service manual have only the number of part, no description about cap and res value. :crying:
Hi again!
I have my Note II which unfortunately took the 4.3 OTA update so I guess it's a done deal until they find a way around it.
My question is, I have my first Note II which was dropped and broken the 2nd day I owned it by a clumsy friend. Thankfully I had insurance on it and I told them I lost it so I could keep the broken one for spare parts.
Is there a way I can switch the guts and then switch the IMEI, MIN or serial number so I can root the old one which never took ANY updates whatsoever?
I know if works, it's just got a cracked screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and compensated. I'm hoping I can do this because once I get his back working, I am rooting it and loading a custom ROM immediately and locking it down to prevent any future updates,
Thanks

Correct. If you want to for further satisfaction you can take a heat gun or a hair dryer to the sticker on your old device and mover it over to the new frame so that the nbers match.

Ok, I reviewed the dissasembly proceedure, but I only see a single motherboard? Is there a separate board, module or chip that holds the IMEI? I have to transplant the identity of the working unit to the old one but keep the old part that hasn't taken the 4.3 update? Is that possible or do I need to wipe the IMEI and rewrite it by some method?
Did I miss something??
Thanks again.

Your IMEI is stored in your flash storage you just need to move the logic board over and plug all the connectors in and your good to go.

Ok what is the "Logic Board"? Is that the main motherboard in the unit or is it a daughter or sub board? I need to use the old units system board that hasn't been updated to 4.3, but transfer the IMEI from the working unit to the old system board.
The problem w
here is I don't know where all the data is stored. Where is the firmware stored? Where is the IMEI stored? Are these two separate boards? If not, I need to electonically copy the IMEI infor from the new phone which is working and has been updated to 4.3 and copy it to the old board so that I have the existing identity in the old units system board and then swap that to the new phone with the good screen.
I'm probably making this worse since I don't know what the correct terminology is and where the firmware and IMEI data is stored.
Phone A is working, good screen but has been OTA updated to 4.3 firmware
Phone B is working, broken screen, but has NOT been updated since manufacture.
Need to make one phone with good screen, Phone A's IMEI or identity and Phone B's non firmware updated circuitry. I can't use the identity of Phone B as it was replaced under insurance as lost. I just reported it lost instead of broken so i could keep it for spare parts. It cost me more in co pay, but at this point, it was worth it as I have a phone I will be able to root and ROM!
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for your help.

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.

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").

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!

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.

Mobiletechvideos can do it. There is a new thread with a member confirming it. Seems pretty reasonable at $75 for the service.
