this is what you need ;-)
Can't you remove the glass and replace it?
I've just seen...it's only the plastic insert that is broken is it not?
It's just a thin square of plastic, stuck down with some kind of non drying sticky resin

yes thats what ı need. the plastic insert that is broken
from where ı can find it? since one month I searching for it
This might sound crazy but...Take apart the device. Bust out the broken glass and just put all back together. Get a protective carrying case. Won't be an eyesore anymore and you can quit looking for that little piece.
and Leoni, are you selling the part or just showing off? HA.
Okay I found something that looks like it contains what you need.
I'm thinking you buy it. Remove what you want and sell the rest as is gently used.

Scroll down to where they have the pics in the listing. Second one shows one with glass over camera.
Or what about a dummy phone? They might use the same glass! And you'll have a toy!

beggers cant be choosers
Honestly I think the dummy phone purchase may be your way to go.
You would only be spending about $25-30 USD to have a possible fix.
If this part WERE available, I imagine it costing at least $10-20 USD.
Beggars can be choosers, but you just have less to choose from!
still could not find any seperate insert plastic ):
in fact I have same problem , the first crack appeared after two weeks maybe , then another one after next two weeks , look pretty shattered by now , but surprisingly pics still do come out al right
doesn't really affect the phone , just ruins it visually , and the funny thing is that HTC in the warranty agreement specified already that any external damage to the screen , camera , lens etc. is not covered by the warranty
I wonder if my phone brakes down for a different reason and I send it back , would they void it since I had the camera glass broken , claiming I was handling is roughly

you probably wont find something that small of a part being sold separately, so your best bet is buying the whole case listed before and using the part out of it, or swapping all your stuff over to it. Not expensive but probably all you can hope for unless someone is selling parts off.
broken camera glass
i also broke mine sent it back to htc and for £71.00 inc collection and delivery they replaced it it comes back wiped so back up first
71 pounds for a simple piece of plate-glass that can even be removed and reinstalled without opening the housing? That sounds fairly pricey to me...
And seeing that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem (including myself) wouldn't it be nice if HTC would recognise the design flaw and send out $0.05 pieces of glass to everyone needing one? But knowing HTC that is not gonna happen
I for one am thinking about grinding a thin piece of plexiglass into the right shape and using that. A replacement piece of glass is just going to break again anyway...
I have some kind of bad scratches on my screen, I was just wondering if I choose to replace it will I need to swap the digitizer, screen or front case?
Its not causing many problems yet, but in the sun they show up really bad and make things under the scratches kind of hard to see.

The Actual front of the screen is actually the digitizer so thats what you would have to replace, the font case dosent have a clear part its the digitizer
and believe it or not thats probably the cheapest part of all 3 to replace
and if you choose to replace it you can use this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaAe0xWdkzI

Hello, I also have scratch on the screen, but they're not scratch "lines": in the center, where I touch most of the times, I have some kind of spots, like the screen had worn in that point because is the most touched. Anyone with this problem? What it could be?
Thanks!

Check if there's any protection cover on the screen. In case there's no cover and you see the touchscreen was damaged, try to replace it. Someone already have posted youtube link to tutorial. For instance, you can buy a new touchscreen on ebay (i can't post the link)
How hard will it be to replace the whole housing & lcd + digitizer?
I'm not worried about damaging the old housing and screen. Only the internals I care about keeping intact.
anyone?

those only show the teardown, i'm not worried about damaging the original screen and housing.
the thing is i want to replace a cracked screen, and if the only damage involved is a mangled rear housing, then i can just replace that too and have a brand new looking phone again.

Ok, cool. Sounds like you have everything under control then...
Read the teardown and you'll see how to replace the screen.

they don't have any feedback about putting the phone back together though, which is the only part i'm worried about.

not HOW to, rather if the pcb/circuitry will get damaged in the process.
My jack cover has broke. My fault mostly - the rubber edge of the flap has been damagged, and obviously there is no waterresistance any more.
The question is:
1.Can I change the flap without disassembling the phone? I think I can pull the flap out (with little force), and install the new one...
2.If I disassemble the phone, should I apply the new battery cover adhesive tape sticker (found on ebay)? Or use old one?

1. No you will need to disassemble the phone
2. It's always better to get some new adhesive.
If you decide to do the repairs by yourself, please note that you might lose the water resistance if the phone isn't closed properly after you've finished.
And you'll lose warranty too!

WRONG - you obviously haven't done it and are giving false information.
The flaps replacement come as a set of 4 for $7.
The "straps" simply push in and NO dismantling is required.

GREAT if won't need to disassemble it!
SO the strap can be pushed in?
BUT can old flap be forced out of the phone?
I tried to pull it out, seems to me it is possible.
(I'll post here the progress of repearing, as soon my flaps ships to me. Thanks everyone for help)

I'm currently experiencing the same issues. Were you able to pull out the rubber strap and insert the new one? My headphone jack flag is cracked on the top. Figured I'd try to replace it if possible at a reasonable cost.

Hi fellas,
I'm in dilemma of whether to have a go at changing my One's housing myself or go to a local repair shop and change it for $60? $60 is the price if I have the parts.
Strictly cosmetic reasons

They are a bit of a ***** if you haven't done it before. For 60 bucks I'd get it done by an expert

Has your phone ever been repaired by HTC before? I've done a housing swap, and it's not difficult at all, if done slowly and carefully

Yes, it makes your job significantly easier . Now, what's the purpose of the housing change? Do you want to change front + back, or only back? Only back is much, much easier.

Looks. Front and back, but I don't have any tools. Do I have to buy the LCD digitizer as well?

Nope, you don't need an LCD and digitiser assembly unless you damage your current one. You have 3 options:
1. Replace the back only (safest procedure, absolutely 0% risk of damaging components.. This is what I'd strongly recommend you to do)
2. Replace back + front speaker grilles (again, low risk method, involves the above and prying off your current grilles and replacing them with new ones, without a full disassembly)
3. Replace complete housing. This involves by far the most risk you can ever take on your phone. You can break any of the tiny flex cables/connectors, LCD, and kill other parts of the phone.
I have tried all the steps in order, and I must say, just a word of caution, it really isn't worth the mess that can be made of it.
I was happy with the 1st method (putting a black back on my silver One, but when I saw the original black one, I really wanted my speakers to be black too.. So I did the second method, and in the process, although I was extremely careful, I poked a dent in the bottom speaker, which makes it crackle. I fixed it with tape, but it'll never sound as good as it was.. Then, there were also huge gaps on the top and bottom, between the grilles and the back, which was because I hadn't managed to get all the adhesive off. In short, to any other person, it was a perfect phone, but by now, my OCD was killing me.. So I did a full disassembly. Everything went perfect, except the screen. Now I have a One with a crackly bottom speaker and two small spots on my LCD
Now that you know what can happen (even after being extremely slow and cautious), what method do you plan to follow? Btw, are you gonna be changing colors??

Nice! Even I did a silver to black conversion. So, which method do you want to go through with? Depending on that I'll give you instructions on what to do. Method 3 is gonna look the neatest of all, 2 will be good if you manage to take off every single last bit of glue, and method 1 will give you a cool 2-tone look.

Okay, let's begin!
Stuff you'll need:
1x HTC One M7 Full housing (front + back), search on ebay.. Like this
Black sim tray (ebay)
A very small sized phillips screwdriver, and tweezers (or rather get a whole kit of that mini sized stuff )
Something like 5mm double sided sticky tape
Glue that melts on heating (not sure what exactly it is called), or superglue. I'd reommend the heat one though.
A hair dryer/heat gun
Old credit cards/guitar picks etc
A razor blade
If you think that you're gonna break your display anywhere along the process, even those are available on ebay for a decent amount.
Now, I watched these videos for reference:
Disassembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZFAsgjCunc
Reassembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5KNmDeJ4Ww
Since your phone has been opened before, it's not gonna be as difficult as it looks in the video. What I did was pull out the volume button with my nail (the top of the button, in the middle), and once that is out, just inserted a card into the gap inside and pryed at the back, and eventually, it got off. Remove your sim tray before you start. Also, see the positions of the clips holding the housing, it'll make removing it much easier. For taking off the display, I'd say, use heat for a decent minute and half, or two, and use a suction cup. This is the only part which isn't made clear on any youtube video that I've seen, so be careful. You could also get your technician to just transplant the display to the new housing.
Any way, ask away if you have any questions, and good luck!

mm in width? 3 would be ok, you'll need two or three strips to hold the battery down.
