I have one, but it's not bricked. It's in perfect working order. It has cracks as is usual with MANY X1's and I've altered the battery cover by drilling a hole so it's easier for me to reset the phone and take out the memory card without removing the back. I'm willing to do $180, but since you're looking for a bricked phone you're probably not interested in paying the amount I'm asking, but I thought I'd float it out there. Good luck on your search. Bye!

sorry mate
I've bought a new housing for my x1 so...no need for it anymore.
Thanks anyways. Good luck to you.

I killed my HTC TyTN II "Solved"

I killed my Kaiser by flashing a Touch Diamond ROM to it.
Sent it to repair service and they say the Mainboard needs to be replaced,but the price for repair is ultragious .
I realy need the device,it was a big help in my confused life style.
Can anyone tell me how can i fix it myself. Or where i can buy a mainboard. Or where can i send the device to repair for a cheaper service?
Sorry i have started a new thread,but i think this is a serious matter,cause HTC TyTN II is not a toy"I know i done to it the same as to a toy" and its expensive. Please help.
Thanks in advance for all your help guys.

Touch diamond isn't all that great. It's lyk a Nokia platform on a PDA, why'd u flash it to a kaiser anyway ?!
About the raw materials, you can easily get the main board (for cheep) through any cellphone spareparts shop online through google . As far as repair is concerned, its as easy as performing a hardware upgrade for your pc; un-plug--> plug. If you're still scared, you can google for a stp by stp instructions.

As for where to purchase parts, I'd normally tell you to go here: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~HTC_TyTN_II-972~area~home.htm but they don't have motherboards.
Your best bet might be to buy something from eBay with a cracked screen, because the motherboard, cpu & chipset is usually the most expensive part, and if you fry that it's usually easier to just buy new...
Hope this helps!

Thankx Alex.
I knew that wise words and advice would come out of the inner you.
I went to Mike Channon Home Page and left a message there,im still waiting for a reply.
I will go get the Device from the repair shop tomorrow. Ididnt accepted the price.
I will try and fix it myself,as i have the hability to fix Electronic things as PCs,Laptops,Mobiles etc,thank GOD.
Im low on economic status,but i will try Ebay my friend.
First Kitchen i used was the one with all your OEM Packages. So i love your work.
Hope you keep up in the good path of life .
For some of the others, should ignore any inconscient reply.
Of course i didn wanted to kill my Device. I just cooked HTC Touch Diamond ROM in a Kaiser Kitchen,added some Apps from the ROM i cooked based on C. Stu ROM to make it more colorfull,more alive to our eyes. But it went wrong,and if Man doesnt commited mistakes,so there wouldnt be positive results. Test we need. Mistakes have to occur in order to get better things.
People in Ethiopia have a more confused life than me. Im not an egocentric person, but cool .
I always learned things the hard way .
While I changed my screen I broke the keyboard connector on the mainboard. The brown plastic closing mechanism broke to parts. Any clue where I could buy a new one and if it is possible to change it (solder?)?

he cooked the rom first ... and i'm guessing something didn't go right. OFCOURSE he just didn't straight flash a diamond rom .. he's a cook so i think he knows better than that.

Im sorry for what append to you device. It doesnt make us feel good.
What did realy append ?
What part do you need ?
I have the solution for that. If you need a new Mainboard i can get it for you.
I dont make crazy prices. Probably a new device for the price of a Mainboard,thats what ive done,but im searching for a Mainboard supplier thought .
If you want to know more PM me.

Nope,i didnt straight flashed a Diamond Rom.
I knew i had to cook it. But forgot that i had to Port XIP and probably SYS from a Kaiser ROM to the Diamond one, or the reverse.
Im still on the learning process. But as you must know,Time is the Master.
And learning and take actions till they come correct its a bit time consuming. And i dont have much time these days.
I learned the hard way. I believe thats one thing that will never appen again .
Im waiting for my new Kaiser to arrive. Couldnt find a Mainboard supplier yet.
But i can get Kaisers for less then the price they asked me in the repair shop.

Insidertip: Where can my Diamond be repaired?

Hi,
The XDA Diamond of my little brother has some cracks between the display and the touch-surface. (see attachement)
I sent the device O2, but they (their service-partner) said "no warranty" and want ~ 300€ for the repair.
I just looked into the service-manual, because I thought about repairing it by myself.
But I think it's to difficult for me.
Now I wonder if anybody know a cheap mobile-shop, who can repair my Diamond.
I live in Cologne. My Brother (and my family) near Hannover. (both in Germany)
But Online-Shops are also good.
Thank you!
the screen is on ebay - item 230285205211. They also offer repairs
search for the dismantle guide (sorry don't have it to hand)
i also got cracks on my screen just like your brother....
I decided to order one of the replacement screen from ebay that comes with the needed tools to do it myself. i payed about 25 dollars including shipping and should receive it anytime from now.... If you r willing to wait , i ll post feedback on how hard it is to do it yourself.
About dismantling the diamond u ll find easily links from google.
Good luck!
how do the cracks actually appear in the first place?
was it the result of something the manufacturer might classify as "abuse" or "accidental damage"?
Often I pick up my phone (HTC Victor) and think that it feels quite fragile compared to something like the N95... so i treat it accordingly - ie, with a little more care..
I already looked throu the disamble guide.
@Sebienbon
It would be great, if you would post feedback and maybe photos of the repair process (step-by-step) wich are not in the disamble guide.
Meanwhile I will do one more try with the service partner.
@bobbified
It just happened. I think my brother carried the device in his trouser pocket (jeans) when he was riding by bike. But imo such a expensive phone should be strong enough.
Also theere is no damage on the outside.
@hays
Thanks. But I am not sure if this is the right part.
My LCD still works. All pixels are fine.
But the "whatever" between the LCD and touch-surface is cracked.
Thanks everybody so far
i just got the kit this morning but the screw driver is wrong( probably because of a different country , i live in denmark and the screen comes from asia... so i ll go buy a tiny screw driver that i miss and then give it a go
Hey,
I´ve got the same problem. But my Screen is more broken
Although it works.
I read the Service Manual too but im not sure if it works with this part:
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Because on the last Picture in the Manuel you see only the front part of the phone and nothing about the part linked above.
So I w`ont open it before I`m not sure whats exactly to do.
Also I asked some firms do make me an offer for repairing the mobile phone.
The best offer is 129,00 € or 169,00 € if the dismantling create scratches on the Display under the touch screen because they are glued.
Very expensive!
Now I´m waiting for your experiences too.

Any update?
no updates
Man i wish i know of the manual to take this apart. You can fix it yourself if you take your time man, and dont be like me man. I took it apart thinking that the black tape under the battery is just tape!!!! And rip the mini-usb power ribbon. Man my heart sank.. So on that note if any of you guys know of a site or store to order parts from. please let me know also....
@lphar56
Is the diamond display made of glass and not the plastic stuff some other screens are made of???
The display is LCD so im guessing glas.. but it has a Touch Digitizer over the top.. that can scratch very easy and is only £15 off ebay
GET INSURANCE........
IF IT BREAKS, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR CLAIM FOR A STOLEN FONE
HTC diamond screen replacement
Hey guys!
AFAIK the cracks that appear are in the glass of the touch-screen-unit.
so i try to figure out how to replace this part only.
Is it glued to the LCD?
Which glue sould be used to fix it again?
Or does it even come with the screen?
I'd like to post a guide here if it works, so please help me answering this last question!
Also, replacing only the touchscreen would lower the repair cost to a third...
Thanks!
Still no update?? on the steps to remove digitizer?

Kaiser in Spanish

I have a quick question, if I am about to buy a Kaiser in Spanish all that I have to do is flash the phone with an English ROM and I'll have a regular Kaiser correct? Please help quickly because I don't have much time to buy this phone.

ebay is your friend my friend ... search for replacement keypads for kaiser. And secondly why don't you buy from someone here??? alot of kaiser users are selling their kaisers as they are switching to the fuze or someother new phone for htc.
hell I would love to buy from someone here but the thing is people are looking for a lot more here then on EBay right? Like I mean I am looking at them on Ebay for like $200? If some one can offer a deal around there I would much rather buy from here.
parts replacement
It seems to me the two best sites I have found for Kaiser parts, are CNN.CN and cellulardr - both sell the keypad

Display doesnt work but touch do!

Well, this is my first thread, if i got this in the wrong section, im really really sorry!
Like the title says, my display isnt working like it should, i can use the touch (even play music and stuff) but i cant see anything, do i need to buy a new display? If so, i searched for it and its selling like one piece, display and touch, and i dont know if im going to get scammed with the "repair" in a local store and just re-connect the display or something like that, i wanna know before i take the xperia to that place, a quick help guys! :good: :silly:
And again, im really sorry if i screwed this forum with a misplaced thread
(It got wet, then i just left it in the car with a ziploc filled with rice for a week, and powered it on, everything works but the display the soul of the xperia :/ )
Thanks for reading!

I had the same problem too bro, but let me tell you taht your display is fine don´t spend your money buying a new one, i tried mine with another cellphone i bought just like mine and the display was good then i send it to repair and the guy told me that one of the five cristals of que mother board that gives the video signal was burned and that´s easy to fix but the problem is to find the spare, it´s a very tiny piece and the only solution i see is to find a damaged tx and take that cristal to repair mine, while that happens i´m using the one i bought is just the same and newer but i would like to repair the other one to sell it and recover some money you know.

So its a little piece from the motherboard?! ): i was thinking that only a display-related stuff, not a tiny cristal from the motherboard ): that means everythibg in my Xperia v is going to get lost? ): the store told me that the fix of a new display is $600 in my country, (like 45-50 usd) but i wanna open it by myself and rebuild it from scratch, the thing is that i dont know how and i dont have the tiny screwdrivers xD
So, your advice? Remember, its a xperia v (lt25i)

Well you didn´t say that it was a v, but i guess that is the same problem but is wear cause v is water resistant unlike my tx, my advice y that you try out the display on another cellphone in my case the display wasn´t damaged so don´tspend your money without knowing well what´s wrong
Xda members, please help! share your experience if you had a similar or the same problem with your xperia v, i wanna fix it, im using a crappy phone while the other one is in a necessary vacation :crying:
Help a bro, and a bro will help you too :good: :laugh:
