screen replacement

I tried searching all over googleverse and youtube but not luck on a guide on how to open a G2 to replace a LCD. so this is my last resort at looking for an answer. does anyone have a guide or can tell me that its simple to disassemble the device?

Sadly, I wouldn't think there would be a simple fix to a screen like this, simply because of the hinge, although I could be wrong. What happened to the phone, these things have only been out for like a month.

Maybe OP was doing some durabilitiy test... or he was like his avy and fell off the skateboard crushing it =[

lol no, I was going to buy one off some guy on ebay to fix for my GF but so far no dice on the repair guide.

repair guide? LMAO
i think you're going to have to make your own repair guide
you will be a hero to many

Maybe pm the guy that tore his apart on here. He may have some tips.

What do you think about the screen bezel? I'd love to get it off and have it and the batt cover anodized.

Sadly karma has stricken me for posting in this thread I assume. I had a Zagg Invisibleshield installed, and the "solution" got underneath my screen and has messed it up.
Anyone ever find a replacement for this?
Also I was thinking of calling HTC but figured they wouldnt fix it.

Tear down is here:

BE SUPER CAREFUL WITH THE MICROSD RIBBON CONNECTOR. 2 pins on mine got messed up and now the vibration doesn't work...so be aware/be careful!

Here's one you can use as spare parts/replacement screen. If you do get this, I might want to buy the main-board off you to repair the stupid microSD connector...ugh, still can't believe I broke 2 pins on it!
Thanks!

[Q] Same root method for Memo Pad Smart 10?

Better thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153331
I know this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't find a section for the Memo Pad Smart 10 so I'm asking here as the TF300 seems to have almost identical specs.
First off, I only needed a light duty tablet, I have a GNoteII for my phone so I'm not in need of an expensive powerhouse of a tablet as I only wanted a larger screen for some traveling stuff and what not.
But I would like to be able to root and unlock the bootloader on my new tablet once I get it. But I wasn't sure if there was such a thing already in the works, where I could look for it if it is, or if I could somehow help out by providing data from the device when it arrives at my house tomorrow.
If any Dev's out there wanted info from me I'd be happy to help out as much as I can. I'm by no means capable of doing it myself, but I know how ADB works and such so I would be willing to help.
TIA.

I'm getting one later today, and I'm pretty curious about the rooting options as well
Hence the bump.

Haven't found any solution for it yet, if I knew how the process worked I would try to make it happen. But I'm totally out of my element in getting that done.

Hey guys, I'm still searching for the original OTG adapter, does anyone mind ti sell his, to me?

how to root the asus memo pad me301t
Hey I was on Toshiba forums and they have a root method. By using motocrunch not the bootloader aspect just the root you can gain root that way. The original link to the convo is http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...est-rooting-guide-me301t-android-4-1-1-a.html

It doesn't come with one or at least mine didn't just buy one from ebay I got one from there for less than $2
Oh and mine says there was another system update available yesterday but I'm reluctant to install it.I already got the 4.2.1 update does anyone know if the new update will remove root.

It probably will. Others have had luck restoring root using voodoo ota root keeper. I didn't.
But motochopper rooted me again after the 4.2.1 update.
I'll check for updates when I get home and let you know.

is anyone having any audio playback issues with their memo pad?
when streaming HD video from iPlayer or youtube etc, the audio is out of sync for me, which is really annoying!

Another thread has all the up to date in to on root and bootloader unlock for this device.
I'm going to close this one and link to the other here and in the OP.

[Q] SIM Tray Replacement

Hello:
Anyone out there that fixed a broken SIM Tray on the Infuse? Can you please help me out and point me to a tutorial of some kind? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In what way is it Broken?
Do you intermittently lose service (not registered on network) upon reboot?

Hi,
So sorry for the delay in my response. It is the problem with the pin. One of them came off when I removed the micro SIM with the adapter. I will get a good picture and upload.
Thanks again

Picture
I couldn't get a picture of my SIM but if you take the attached on as an example, the highlighted pin is broken.
Thanks

Mine almost broke when I had an adapter. Did it completely snap off, or is it still attached but pulled out?

It has completely snapped off. The first time this sort of a thing happened, the pin was still there and I was able to push it back again but this time, since it was already weak from the last time, it just came off!!! Ironically, I was going to replace that old adapter with a newer one that has notches inside and fits better. It is a good lesson for me to let sleeping dogs lie.

Yeah, the infuse doesn't really need an adapter to work with micro sims. Learned that after I pulled a pin out on mine lol.

Ooookkkk...didn't know that. I could have used that wisdom sooner. :laugh:
I really liked this phone. I was running GB for a long time until I got enough courage to upgrade to JB using Scott's custom ROM (many thanks to him for that) and it made a already good device more awesome. I want to try to salvage it if possible. From the looks of it, based on my rudimentary knowledge, it looks like the tray is kind of soldered to the board and I am not sure whether that is correct or if I can just yank it out. Don't really want to experiment and make a bad situation worse.

If you are looking for someone to fix it for you, a lot of people have good luck with these folks for phone repairs (they did great on my daughter's power button replacement):
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
It looks like they do Infuse "SIM card slot repair" for $50
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-infuse-4g-sim-card-slot-repair/
You ship the phone there, they ship it back after repair/test.
The cost includes return shipment, you pay for the initial shipment (mine was about $8).
Count on being without the phone for about a week or 10 days.

Thanks!

[Q] Digitizer Version

I got my digitizer off, but Im having issues with finding the proper version. I have an FPC-1 Rev:3, but all I can find is the FPC-1 Rev:2. Does it matter? Please help, I want to have this before school starts in a month

Can someone please help? I really need to find this out soon

I have the same problem wonder what to do. Did you buy the rev 2 yet?

Yes I did, and it worked. The one thing Ill tell you, is make sure when you are removing the old digitizer from the mounting frame, you use a hairdryer. Its got some pretty strong adhessive on the other side

I have done digitizers on all kinds of phones, my poor tablet has me stumped. I can't believe getting it out was easier than finding a new one!
Can anyone identify this and point me in the right direction?

Looks like the v0.2 version of the digitizer, you can find a lot of them on ebay. Cheaper than the Rev2/3, lucky you

didn't find any. only v.0.1 available

So, after not finding any v.02's for a decent price I went with a v.01 after some reading about compatibility. It worked without issue even with the knock off screen. It seems to be more responsive than the original. I have also not had the ghost touches or stutters the original one had.

[Q] What are first steps

I'm getting my M8 delivered today and before I run off and S-off, recovery, root what should I do first?
should I let the system do an OTA update, let it run in stock mode for a day?
any tips, recommendations?

I held off on the ota when I picked mine up as I wasn't sure it would work for root and s-off. Be sure of all the steps read through a few times and get to it.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

You're safe to take the OTA first. It'll save you some extra steps later on.
But really, the first thing I'd do is look for physical defects. I just recently noticed my back camera is tilted inward on the left side of the hole and doesn't sit level. No idea if its been making my photos worse or anything but it now kinda bugs me. This comes after exchanging 2x due to other minor physical defects (a chip in the corner and bent metal bump on bottom) so I guess you could say I'm a little upset with HTC's quality control and/or am just unlucky.
I'd use stock for a little bit before flashing anything, but do get S-Off. I find that I really like the stock experience. It's lightyears ahead of Touchwiz.

Well I did it backwards LoL =]
But what I should have done was first thing after looking device over for visible defects is get your 50gb of data from google drive that you get for "free" ha yeah right.. then if you want to get your Isis money. You cant be rooted to get at those two freebies do them first. then weaksauce then follow direction on the weaksauce page to get S-Off. then falsh a recovery and then flash root from chainfire ie flashable cwm twrp Supersu files. then the rest is up to you =] google luck
