You're putting iPhone 4 hardware into the 4s shell?

Sounds like it

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

 kinda, 4s mobo is toast, so going to use the speaker housing, the glass(which a was originally on the 4) the back glass that was spare from another 4s which will be transferred to the 4(bracket change) front glass also requires a bracket change back to the 4 bracket, and possibly the home button if its compatible, will take pictures once im into assembly and have stopped stripping this one of parts

Why...

4s mobo got screwed, update to ios 9(in the fucking update que yet apple store tells me it shouldn't work, ffs) it crashed during the update now the firmware is in limbo, so either I have no phone and a paper weight or I bring my 4 back to life

The components inside the iPhone 4 and 4S are not the same so that wouldn't really be possible if you were to transfer parts.

Oh ok that may work, I was assuming the motherboard itself since they aren't even the same shape or parts.

So your still transferring parts then, cause they aren't built the same internally, not sure how your going to fit everything properly.

Oh I see your talking about the glass panels along with the screen and one or two other things to be transfer over to the 4 I was assuming you wanted to swap all the internals around between the two.
