Hello all, A newcomer here. :)

I have a Galaxy Mega 6.3 I527M Smartphone (Android). Its specifications are very similar to Galaxy S4 mini smartphone which indeed was release about same time. Former lacks FM Radio whereas the latter has stock FM radio. From what I have read online, chipsets used are same in both and that Samsung may have disabled it deliberately (on hardware level). I was wondering if anyone has some experience dealing with similar projects?

I have attached picture from logic board of both phones. From left, first and second ones are for Mega and third one is for S4 mini.

I have to say I have almost none electronic knowledge but I am willing to experience and learn.

Thanks

This is a very valid post I have taken apart phones and tablets before but never really tried to activate a chip the ad that i got this from I think is more of a ralley to get the company to activate it I believe that the phone has an encryption on it to prevent it from working

Note: If you want a better answer could you add a comment on what you need help with

I think you have to root your phone to get the FM radio to work...I think.
