problem with a hybrid N900T .. !!

[mirosaw2]

hello guys ..
how are you all .. ??
hope you fine ..

here is the story ..
have one N900T with a weird problem ..

Unfortunately xxxx has stopped working

then restarts itself ..
so, i flashed the phone many times with a different firmwares .. but still same ..
finally i figured out what cause the problem ..
that phone is not a 100% N900T .. it's hybrid Note 3 ..
only PCB is N900T but all Flexs and other HW things is not ..
some are N9005 and N900A ..
so, kernel what causes the problem ..

so, i tried to flash custom roms but phone doesn't boot at all ..
so, what's next .. !!

thx in advance.

That's a new one for me....How do you know it's a "hybrid"? I've never even heard of such a thing, unless someone rebuilt it using different models....

by looking into the phone after i've disassembled it ..
only PCB is N900T ..
Charging Flex .. N900A ..
Antenna .. N9005 ..
that phone has been aggregated ..

and i really don't know what to do about the restarting and Unfortunately messages problem .. !!

I think it's obvious that your best course of action at this point, assuming that the phone is under a T-MOBILE plan, is to exchange the phone under warranty or upgrade or Jump, etc... There is just no place to begin troubleshooting a device that is a very unique "one-off". There is no common baseline from where to begin if in fact the hardware is from different models.

I'm fairly tech savvy with an engineering background and I've never seen any device, built and packaged for the commercial retail market, be so obviously disparate as you claim. Sure, manufacturers try to use common parts (although a different line item number) across their similar platform products in order to save money but even then the parts are marked properly and not obviously from different models.

If you can, return it. If you purchased it from a private party then I wish you the best of luck.

EDIT: This device worked at one time, I'm assuming. If you acquired through private sale then you should be able to take it to a local t-mobile and ask that they flash it back to stock. At least you will have a working phone. If you get it back to stock remember to get a good nand back up before making any changes. You can also try the "W" version of a ROM or try an AOSP ROM.

This is interesting. Please do let us know how it all turns out.
