Chosen Solution
I have an AT&t iPhone 5 that got damaged while someone else was trying to replace the battery. While trying to remove the battery they scratched what I think is a flex cable underneath the battery. Now the phone wont show anything on the screen. I also have a Verizon iPhone 5 that is stuck in a boot loop and has a bad IMEI. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can swap the logic boards for these phones. I am aware that AT&T is a GSM carrier and that Verizon is a CDMA carrier, but I don’t know if any of the hardware in the phone is different. Any help is appreciated!
you can switch them, but you might as well just move the VZ screen to the ATT and see what happens. A flex cable under the battery in unlikely to have any bearing on the display as long as the phone is turning on.
The hardware is different, you may end up with a little or very significant reception issues but I’m not sure, you have to try to find out.
I have been successful with this swap every time. The hardware is exactly the same.
I am not sure if I am reading correct are you saying that if I change the motherboard of my Verizon Iphone 5 with a AT&T motherboard it will work and fit properly?
Ryu I’m curious as well. Has anyone else successfully implemented the swap?? Also, like the question above, does anyone know where to purchase an original iphone 5 logicboard?
Will swapping wipe out the icloud or will that still be locked after the swap<
