[CRYING]Xperia fell from 2nd floor..

please help me. do you know how to repair my xperia x1? it's just fell when i tripped in my college's stair. and now it won't turn on and the body is kinda broken....... help where can i fix this? does this void the warranty? and how much will it cost me? will the sony replace with a new one? if i sell this, how much is it worth? the phone won't turn on. i can see the chip is bent. the casing is opened in the volume button area. but when i connected it to the charger, the illuminating led works fine...

I think it is not covered by the warranty so there is 3 solution:
1- you have an insurance for your phone which can cover this damage
2- you pay to repair it
3- you buy a new phone

I feel you.. I dropped mine from the 3rd floor and it died :/
Luckily I managed to get a new one from my insurance.
If it's only a home insurance you've got, make up a story that you dropped it at home somewhere

u might say u dropped it from a 3m high table
anyway i hope u luck buddy i would feel bad if my xperia dropped from 2nd floor.

can you tell me more about the home insurace...?

I wonder one thing - how can insurance cover something you did (=it's your fault that it's damaged)..??

Ummm ...next time you crash your car (your fault) will you not claim on insurance?

AFAIK insurance covers faulty devices, or when they brake by themselves.
Just pay for it to be fixed.

You are right. My bad.
I remembered that the store guys offered me insurance, but I declined.
I can fix anything software related (xda ftw ) and if the hardware brakes, I'll just send it to a random phone repair shop. No need to pay huge cash for insurance.

i think ill take you up on your offer of i can fix anything software related...i have 6.5 roms but when they are coupled with a rhodium dialer i cannot pick up about 90% OF THE calls screen nor hardware button when i go to pick it up it jsut stays on the incoming call screen and then goes to miss call.. u think you can help me figure it out heres a thread with people with the same problem..oh yea if i use the orginial dialer all works well.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4070391...pm me if you think u can figure it out thanks

We can rebuild him....
My Xperia fell off my motorcycle and got run over by a car coming behind. I got a new casing and display from one of the Hong Kong parts vendors and rebuilt it myself from a YouTube video on how to assemble/disassemble X1.
It's like BRAND NEW!
Give it a shot. Check out the YouTube video first to see if you think you can pull it off.
Good luck!

omfg guys, am I the only one who treats the phone well? There is a topic about falling from the 2nd floor, X1 in the toilet.. My oh my, I feel now like an renegade

I was talking about the problems I had so far on my phone + the help from XDA obviously . Plus, I have never used 6.5 for a long period of time, so I can't help there .

I never had any of the cracking, peeling and w/e as well. Just treat your phone better peeps. That's the secret .

I kill my SGS

i had an Doc & Stefunnel's ROM v9.1.4, just the 3 button Combo doesn't work, so i've decided to repair it.
i didn't understand/misunderstand the RazvanG instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
and install Raz-Fix-SGS.zip as update.zip in CWM and reboot the phone.
The phone is dead. The phone doesnt turn on, recovery mode doesnt work, download mode too. The unbrick with 301K Jig doesnt work too. Odin doesnt see my phone, i can't flash again bootloader, cause phone is just dead.. i dont know what to do. i know that i misunderstood the instrucion, and it is my fault, but i beg you to help me...

if recovery, download, and usb jig dont work, then your phone has passed away its an awful time and requires lots of grieving...
the best you can do is send back to samsung and blame it on an official kies update.
unless you have insurance ?

but what about rooting phone, and unbrand soft? when official service back it to life, they have to flash new official rom? will they know, that i had unbrand soft and rooted phone?
am i the first person who kill SGS? or someone has the same problem?

if it wont turn on or go into any mode at all, i dont know if samsung them self will bring it to life. even if they do its in such state it wont work until a new rom is on it (which they will do) then they would never know. (i think)

can someone confirm that?

Hey mate, for some moths ago, i did a soft brick my phone, i could not get ito Daonload, recovery mod.. using 3 button combo, so i send it back to Samsung for repear, and hopeful thay fixed my phone, but thay said to me, that if i brick my phone again thay will not repar it for free. my phone was rooted but i had Stock Rom 2.2. But thay never said anything about that i had rooted the phone.
So mabye Samsung will fix it for you. if thay dont want to fix it, tray to pay som dollars and thay will mabye fix it.
Good luck mate, and sry for ur phone.

but you wrote, that you can't get into Download and Recovery using 3 button combo, my SGS can't get into Download and recovery even with 301k jig. Your phone work normally and You just can't open recovery and download mode? My is off all the time

can someone confirm that?
The answer is you have broken your phone and your warranty.
Only a service centre can deal with it .
Will they find its been misused and charge you unlikely but not improbable .
Take it in then if they say you are naughty boy and its going to cost xxx then your choice to pay or walk away .
jje

haha well said.. MR.FROG YOU HAVE BEEN A NAUGHT NAUGHTY BOY !!!!

What was the outcome? Did they charge you?

I would guess not...if they had charged him he would have been back complaining about it.
If his phone was dead as they say, likely they just flashed it immediately or swapped it for a new one. I agree that in that circumstance I would be hard pressed to think how they would know he had rooted or modded the phone.
Personally i feel the best way to handle that situation is to go to your local proved rather then Samsung and just play dumb. They are far less likely to dig deep to see what the trouble is, especially if you are upset and holding up the line. They will just flash/replace and move on...especially if you have insurance on it.

Personally I feel the best way to handle that situation is to man up and take the consequences for f*cking up your phone. Get it fixed, and pay the repair costs.

I would say that you should go and try it at a Samsung support store. If they don't want to or can't repair your phone then I'm sorry for you.
But at least try it even if you have to pay.

i searched up google and it tells me that red dot is indicator of water damage to phone..... after drying up i can boot phone... it is turning on... i havent tested other functions cuz i found some more water so i left it to dry..........
i will take it to samsung tomorrow and hope for best...

Please take a picture of the red dot. I wanna see it.
And maybe we can put a waterproof sticker over the red sticker so that when the phone actually does fall in water it won't turn red. Then remove the waterproof sticker and give it to the service center.

Oh you are that Delhi guy. Remember me
And for your phone.
Did you tried downloading mode. If working flash the stock rom. Then took it to Samsung guys.
But I think you should let it dry first fully and try your luck.
Better try with a dryer after removing the battery.

Yeah better let it dry first. I think putting the phone in a bowl of rice helps as well.
Edit: This might help.

Warranty is void anyway because of the awesome red dot stickers, so you could have told him since you'll be paying for the repair. But if telling CM7 is just an app worked then that is going to help a lot of Mini users claim their warranty. Thanks for sharing, man.

Trust me, the Service Centre guys are that much Educated, that they don't even know about Custom ROMs and to detect whether the ROM is rooted or not.

You referring to the current situation (Water damage, but Phone's working) or a fully bricked state.
And, they think Kies software would detect the Phone with a fully bricked state?
And if the phone is working, how much time would it take to look on "About Phone" section. From there, the Service Centre guys could easily detect whether Custom ROM is installed or not.

good luck but unfortunately I don't thing it's going to be alive again...please let us know...

There is no waranty that covers water damage to the phone. Only phone insurance wich i doubt you have. If they inspect your phone, they will void your waranty because no matter how much you dried it, water leaves marks. Anyway, if the screen is ok and the phone boots up, you wont have to pay that much for the reparation.

You may be right that they can check in "About Phone".
But I have witnessed cases that the service center guys acts like totally idiot and can be easily fooled.
I think most of them don't have knowledge and they just do a GOOGLE SEARCH.

Once I told them to repair my headphones just after 7 days of purchase they asked me to give my phone, I asked Why?
They (she)replied: we have to check phone. She typed some number on the dial *#*#1234...something and some other number to get details.
I even asked them to upgrade it to gingerbread from froyo and i gave my phone.
Then next day I came to get my phone with repaired headphones
and those foolish! Mad ass people reflashed muy phone with what: froyo over froyo and i lost everything.
I asked (in anger) why did you reflashed with old one. In that they said gingerbread is not yet available.
As far as for flashing they surely used kies.

I9000 Damage by Water ?!

So i bricked my phone and it seems like that nobody can help me ...
My Phone shows no reaction i don't know if a USB JIG would help.
---------------
I pay every 3th month for an insurance (If my phone get damage by water)
so if i let my phone fall into water they would send me a new phone ?
ps.: Sorry for my bad english :ssss
OH wrong section sorry i report .... was before on Q&A

Try the jig first. It's cheap. Just order one off ebay.
Also make sure that your warranty really does cover water damage. As far as I know there is no warrranty that covers water damage, though I suppose your carrier might offer additional coverage in return for extra charge.

you have insurance?... the no need to worry... they will fix it.. if it`s not fixable, they will send you a new one
that`s how insurance works.

are you sure you can't acess Download mode? either way try the USB JIG first

I have warrenty from the market i bought it from and an extra warrenty for water and fall damages
the normal warrenty goes until 13.08.12

You mean if i let it fall into water ?

just bring it to the warranty and chill out, insurance will fix it

But what if they see that i flashed a coustom rom ?

Then you get a very very big invoice ...

Unless if they can fix it, they won't be able to tell that you are on a custom rom.

Just bring it to them, dude! If they know you've flashed custom rom, that mean your phone fixed. Just take the phone and say good bye. Will they put you in jail? If they do don't worry. Just tell them I buy your phone because of custom roms, if there were no custom roms every phones just look and do the same **** like each other, if every phones look and do the same **** so instead of buy this costy phone why stupid I buy another cheaper 10 time than. You know I am like addicted of flashing custom rom. I flash every new rom as soon as it posted. I think my phone will be brick like you, man. But I don't care, as long as I feel good )

This has happened with me too. Got my mini hard bricked and it was not under warranty. They will charge 5k for replacing the motherboard. I suggest you get yourself a new device instead of getting this repaired for 5000

My frnd told me earlier, what he did was, he went to his frnd's shop and made a new fake bill with date for under warrenty
Now go to cc with fake bill, in countries like india this will work but this will work only if u havent gone to care before cuz once u go there, they have saved copy for bill for first time
Try this only if u dont have any other option left instead of buying a new device
Whats wrong in trying, worked for my frnd he was lucky enough
