Hi,
my TP2(european version) is stuck on bootloader - tried any possible solutions found on the forum but to no avail. Since spare parts are quite cheap on ebay, I would like to know if I can swap a Sprint/Tmobile or basically a TP2 US version lower part(the whole keyboard/board...) to the upper part(LCD..etc) of my tp2?
Basically, the upper part will be from the european part and the lower will be the US one. Does anyone know if the phone will work if I do this?
Thanks.
I think swaping lcd part to the sprint usa would be easier.

You would need the board from the GSM TP2 or CDMA TP2 depending on what you are using now. These are not interchangeable. Sprint = CDMA; T-Mobile = GSM. You would possibly also loose the ability to use 3G as it is carrier dependent in the US market.
lower body (keyboard) will fit... switch out the motherboard as well in order to work with your carrier. i did this on my phone.
Will the front camera work if I just swap a tilt2/verizon/sprint/tmobile motherboard on the phone and will the slider fully fit the upper part when closed?
Have you actually found a spare board. These are not actually sold since they are the most expensive and hard to build parts. Unless someone offers you his broken one!
Also, check if you are using GSM now, if so you are probably better off using a european board.

Tilt2 board works on european Screen and vice-versa but the front camera will not work and also the 640x480 MP4 recording won't be available since it seems HTC has disabled these options for the American market. I have been trying with at least 3 Tilt2 boards since my phone broke while flashing firmwares. Fortunately Tilt2 boards are available here in the U.S to swap parts.
the charging port is loose, and I know all my USB C cables are good. Can I replace the bottom with ANY model bottom chin, or it needs to be an H820 like mine is? I want an OEM part, not a knockoff part.
can someone please answer so I know whether to spend 60 bucks on ebay? thanks!!
The chin is a "generic" part of the G5, so yes you can use chins from other G5 models.

I tried the international version chin, and it did not work; it said on the screen "plug in a compatible module." FYI
I have purchased several chins that claim to be compatible with all versions, but they do not work. Does anybody know a way to tell the difference between different chins?
On similar note is there a way arround the issue?

If you look closely there are yellow markings that said
"NA" American Versions
"GL" Global
"SKT" "KR" Korean
"NA"*front *AT&T_XX"from the back of the module: At&t, XX is some random numbers
Also : GET THE RIGHT VERSION IF YOU WANT YOUR CELLPHONE SIGNAL TO REMAIN GOOD. Probably different variants have different antenna frames in the module soo be careful
I have LG g5 ls992 model, I changed with lg g5 h830 motherboard, now I am finding a compatable model module for this. Anyone can help me to find? . No module is not compatable with this board now. Why?
Hello there!
I just wanted to tell you an interesting information about a successful operation for my lg g6.
So few month ago I purchased a cheap lg g6 from a store here in France for my father.
Therefore it was an AT&T model (h872 or 871 or 873), many band where missing and I hated the fact that it is still locked, no rom, no root... all of what we don't like from an android phone.
So I had the idea to swap the motherboard with another model!
As those are cheap in aliexpr... it costed about 40€ for me to get an h870 motherboard, I even had the opportunity to buy the h870ds quad dac and h870dsu (g6+ 128gb rom) for 60-80€, therefore as those are poor in dev section regarding rom, I prefered to go with a traditionnal h870 european version.
Obviously, I've done A LOT of repair, that's why I figured out the compatibility between motherboard, here are the reason:
---------------------
-No different LCD like LG g2 (flashback about LCD only compatible with specific motherboard, different connector etc etc...)
That mean that the main screen is all board compatible
-Same frame for all model (when you search for LG g6 Frame, you don't have any distinction between model , else it'll be : Frame for LG G6 h873/870/... specified)
it mean that every part are in the same place: battery, speaker, type C connector etc etc....
-No difference in physical layout between different motherboard (by comparing visual shot).
The only difference is in the kind of shell that cover the cpu and gpu, which depend on the manufacturing date.
And the Wireless charging/NFC pin. either 4 pin for both, 2 for nfc only, 0 for none of those option. (doesn't matter for making the phone work, it's just an extra that detect if the nfc/wireless sticker is here)
----------------------
It's confirmed to work from any h87x to h870 mainboard replacement.
And i'm 99% sure it'll work with an h870ds, And even h870DSU (therefore, poor XDA dev thread on those model).
using the same material for all board is cost effective for LG, So I can say that, if you really want to move on to a another hardware version, take 40 bucks and a screwdriver!
...Well, I know that modding a software seems easier, but be confident, follow instruction, be gentle with part, don't put any kind of force... repairing is easy, so it is to replace a motherboard.
While you're into it, put thermal past in the cpu to improve thermal temp. And don't forget to remove the simtray
thx
This is a very cool idea. Has anyone actually tried updating a G6 to a G6+ this way? I'd be curious to hear your experience.
I bought a 7T Pro Mclaren 5G a while back off eBay, it was the T-Mobile 5G model and I live in Canada, so when I got it, I tried to unlock it and couldn't, after a long back and forth with the seller, I ended up finding out from T-Mobile that the phone was reported lost/stolen so I had to make an eBay claim, got my money back, and I was going to buy another one, but then I found the Nubia Red Magic 5G so I decided to wait it out until that released since on paper it has better specs for less, turns out it's an absolutely horrible phone and I'm sending it back because nothing works and you're locked out of changing anything.. but back on topic.
Once I get the refund from Nubia, I want to buy another OnePlus 7T Pro, I would prefer another Mclaren model and I like the way that one looks more, however, I'm even more confused now that I'm looking into root/roms for it.
Canada doesn't have 5G yet, so there's no reason to get a 5G phone other than future proofing, but honestly 4G has been fine and I have no issues, so not having 5G isn't a deal breaker, and I noticed on the normal 7T Pro forum here, there's lots of root and rom threads for the non Mclaren phone, but the confusing part now, is the Mclarens actually had like 5 different models that I know of, the HD1910 (china model). HD1911(india model). HD1913 (europe model), HD1920 (europe 5G), and HD1925 (t-mobile 5G).
From what I've gathered, the HD1920/1925 are "hotdogg", and the HD1910/1911/1913 are "hotdog" so I have a few questions, given that there's basically zero support for root/roms on hotdogg, I want to buy a hotdog variant, the non-5G model, but this forum doesn't say anything about the non-5G Mclaren model being included or not, so is the Mclaren HD1910/1913 model the same as the normal 7T Pro HD1910/1913?
I was looking up differences on the HD1910 vs HD1913 and the only thing I've found according to some other forums and sites is that the HD1910 is just cheaper with different firmware, but the global firmware can be flashed on the HD1910, essentially making an HD1913 for cheaper? However I have not been able to find the HD1910 for cheaper with shipping to Canada, the HD1913 seems to be the cheapest option for me.
I'm going to be buying an HD1913, but, the question still stands, is the normal HD1913 the same as the Mclaren HD1913? The only thing I found between them is the Mclaren has 12GB RAM, so would this cause issues with root/roms if I use root/roms designed for the normal 8GB RAM HD1913?
Any info is appreciated.

There are two McLaren editions afaik. The T-Mobile branded one and the international one. There was a serious issue with updating OOS firmwares when unlocking the bootloader on the T-Mobile devices.
I'm not sure if all custom ROMs are supported on the McLaren edition unfortunately. Also the back of the McLaren edition has far more text on the back as the pictures suggest. Look here: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61VYQo5lEuL._SL1600_.jpg

The HD1920 is the Internation 5G, and the HD1925 is the T-Mobile 5G, but there are also the three other non-5G models, the HD1910/1911/1913, and I'm looking at an HD1913, so that's the non-5G international model, I just don't know if having 12GB of RAM is going to cause issues if I try to root it using tools for the normal 8GB RAM HD1913 and same goes for standard 8GB RAM HD1913 specific roms, can they run on the 12GB RAM HD1913?
I'm just confused because the "Mclaren model" (hd1920/1925) has it's own forum on here, but everything there only mentions the 5G models, nothing about the non-5g Mclaren hd1910/1911/1913, and over here in the non-5G section for the hd1910/1911/1913, there's nothing about the non-5G Mclaren models, so is this phone just compatible with the normal hd1913 stuff because they're the same model number, or does having an extra 4GB of RAM actually make it different resulting in root tools and roms not working? I'm so many confused lol
From what i know is that the International NON 5G McLaren (HD1913, i own this model and i am in the Netherlands) can be seen as a normal Oneplus 7T Pro... Oneplus customer service confirmed this for me.
The OnePlus support page has a download section for roms for all of their devices, but McLaren was not present in this list. They confirmed that i can flash the 7T Pro firmware and the hardware should handle itself, and the extras like the boot animation and themes are stored somewhere within the hardware so you'll keep those as well.
In case of rooting, i think you can use the tools for it as most probably magisk is used and a patched boot img will be made and flashed from your existing firmware. However i have mayor trust issues so i did it myself, used fastboot and adb commands to pull the boot.img and patch it in magisk manager and flash it via fastboot. Just make sure after each OTA to use magisk manager and flash magisk to the inactive slot so you'll keep root after reboot.

I have the op 7tpro hd1910 non 5g and all custom ROMs from the 7tpro thread work on it. Some mods ex renovate ice work on the 5g models as of 3 days ago, but not all custom ROMs support 5g models

Okay awesome, this is exactly what I needed to know, I feel a lot more confident about buying the non-5G one now, thanks!
I'd rather wait out the whole situation about 5G and what it's dangers are for your health, as everyone is spitting out rumours about it (talking about the amount of radiation it sends out and that stuff, not the 5G causes corona bull****). Besides it will take some time for 5G coverage, just like it did with 4G so getting a device right with it in an area that is not covered yet is a bit waste of money... For me 4G is fast enough.
5G will most likely also cost you a lot more money each month.

Tbh 5G is a standard that includes different frequencies. If any concern can even be valid, it is millimeter wave as the other frequencies are already deployed.
And even in this spectrum it isn't harmful at all. Keep in mind we absorb slight space radiation all the time. Keeping a high wattage (I'm talking about 50W+ radiation close to your reproduction organs will do harm but that's a whole other kind of scale).
It is unfortunate that people often try to pinpoint the first thing they hear like Corona caused by 5G. It is important to remember how everything works and what is plausible and what not
Perhaps 5G isn't that harmful, i still keep my caution as i haven't had the time to inform myself fully yet... Just viewing articles that come by during lunch hours.
My first thoughts from hearing the news about people setting cellphone towers on fire because of 5G causing Corona... Wich deactivated and damaged the tower and the use of emergency numbers... What an absolute ********.

Yeah I'm not after the 5G at all, 4G has been more than fast enough for what I use a phone for. Plus, Canada doesn't even have 5G yet, that's why I'm looking for a non-5G OnePlus 7T Pro Mclaren, no point paying more for the 5G model and lose some functionality to root/roms for a service that isn't even provided yet.
As for the whole 5G thing, I think the main concern behind it was people not understanding that 5G ranges from like 24MHz to 300MHz, and it's about the frequency. So a RADIOwave goes up to I think around 1GHz, and MICROwave frequency is like 1GHz to around 300GHz. and some microwaves operate at around 2.45GHz, so already your standard wifi router in your house is already spitting out microwaves from 2.4GHz to 60GHz depending on what model you have and what frequencies you're using, the difference is the wattage, a router is basically nothing in comparison to an actual microwave oven that cooks food, those can go up to 700w for a normal household model, even more for industrial models.
So basically, we're already exposed to microwaves everyday, the wattage is just so low that it doesn't cause us any hard, and even if it would over a long period of time, our immune systems can rebuild faster than the radiation can cause harm, same as getting x-rays at the dentist, harmful, but our bodies are stronger. It doesn't cause any concern at all. Now there's known information that the US Military uses 95GHz with a custom panel that's attached to Hummers for crowd control to break up riots. The difference is that people think that the 95GHz range the military uses which is proven to produce enough microwave non-ionizing radiation to make rioters bodies uncomfortable, they over heat and get sick from heat stroke with too much exposure causing them to stop rioting, it's not life threatening and tests have shown no signs of skin cancer as a result, but it's aggressive enough to work.
The issue though, is that when people see 5G going from 24GHz to 300GHz and the military uses 95GHz for crowd control, people think that if 5G uses those higher frequencies it's capable of, it's going to cook everyone like a legit microwave oven. The only difference here is that ONE of those Hummers produces up to 2.5MEGAWATTS for a 2 second burst at full power using two diesel engine generators. So far all of the 5G towers that are being burned down, they don't have a diesel power plant at every tower, and each tower drawing power loads like that would overload the entire grid. So from everything I found when I was looking into why people are burning down towers is they just don't understand how low the wattage is on a 5G tower and there's people hyping up these hummers saying that 5G will cause you to die and Covid-19 is just a government cover up and it's actually 5G and all this other nonsense, but in reality, 5G is completely safe, if someone DID hook one up to a 2.5Mw source.. we might be in trouble lol
Now I'm not saying it's SAFE, like, end all game. There were studies in Germany about just cell phone towers in general, they did a test with like 1000 people in a 400m radius of cell phone towers and the people closer to the towers were 50% more likely to get cancer from testing, and 10% observed cancer right at the towers, but this is also over the span of a 10 year test. So, ALL cell phone towers cause cancer, it's just a matter of how close you live to one and how long you've lived there, and even then, you have a 90% chance of not getting cancer, so the risks are still low. Not comforting, but low enough that I wouldn't start losing sleep over.
Here in The Netherlands we don't have 5G either, but it is planned for this summer (which is cancelled this year). There are phones already out with the specs ready... And even if it was already supported, i am not willing to pay 10 to 20 euros a month more for the speed i am not gonna use.
But does Canada only have the 5G variant in the stores? Or is the phone not available at all?
As far as i knew the concern here was that it would cause cancer or certain health issues in the long term, as it would need more transmitters/towers to cover the area for certain frequencies. I never believed in the first place it would be extremely harmful. What i do know is the closer you live to one off the towers, the more chance you get of developing cancer and a few other things. Besides, i have a high end router in my bedroom and i am not dead yet.... Maybe i should move closer to a tower so it would go quicker....
Governments do stupid stuff... but i believe they would not allow a network to be installed that would be that dangerous, or keep installed if things do turn for the worse.
I also believe that this is going too off topic that eventually a mod will warn us
