I put a t mobile board in a Verizon frame, due to cracked digitizer.
I had to cut out part of the frame with my dremel. I got it all to fit in. I used the t mobile back, With the antenna's.
The phone boots and runs good, screen, sound, wi fi.

Everything works, except I get no signal for cell service.
Help, why don't it get cell service?

Well for starters, you know that verizon and tmobile runs different networks right? (former is CDMA, the latter is GSM) So right off the bat there may be hardware differences.

There are a number of "pins" or bracket looking type things on your mobo. You may need to bend some upwards a little to ensure proper contact.

I did that once, but that is all I can think of to cause that. I tore the T mobile lcd out completely to see if there was anything in the frame. There was not.

thank you for your reply.
