Galaxy S7 Motherboard Swap (Snapdragon to Exynos)

after learning that the American models of the Galaxy S7 with the Snapdragon chipset has a permanently locked bootloader, i went on my way to buy a motherboard from the international model of the Galaxy S7 with the Exynos chipset because they have unlockable bootloaders to swap out with, and i think it went pretty well

i did this because #1, better performance, and #2, custom rom support and easier to root

and yes i am aware of the camera not working. that's because of the differnt sensors (Snapdragon using the Sony IMX and Exynos using the Samsung ISOCELL), but i will buy a camera for the model next time

so uh, here's this stupid video i made just for fun
