Long story short. My screen is cracked and is barely visible. The screen works to the touch but i can probably make out 25% of it visually. I was wondering if anybody can send me legit links to another LCD screen or a walkthrough to fix my nexus one. My phone is rooted so sadly no warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys...
Ugh. Call HTC first. Rooting probably won't even come up. Try to get them to fix or replace it first before trying yourself.
Agree with pwig call HTC my girlfriend did the same and they charge only like 120 (i think) for the replacement screen.

Okay i guess ill give HTC a call tomorrow and ill post up how much they charge. Thanks guys!
I think only unlocking bootloader will void warranty, rooting does not feel free to call HTC

you should probably be ok since there is no way the boot loader could affect the screen. And not to be a douche but its an amoled, not an LCD screen.
Hello all,
My friend has an HTC Vivid with ATT and she dropped it this morning and basically shattered the screen. Phone still works just doesn't look pretty. I've never cracked a screen on a smartphone.
If anyone has experience with getting this type of thing fixed what are the next steps? Go to ATT? Go to HTC? Find a local?
Thanks!

I guess that it depends on when she bought the phone, and more importantly, did she buy the insurance plan.
I fixed mine myself it wasn't that hard but there are a few points that may give you some issue. Amazon was selling the digitizer screen for about $30.00 a couple of days ago.

As esloan said pretty easy to fix yourself there are videos on how to do it on youtube or usually there is a link attached to the purchase of the digitizer. I got my girls fixed at a local (Australia) for $150
I saw an ad for a broken One m7 and the guy says he dropped it and the screen is dead, so I was thinking I could replace the screen and make a buck. but before I do I wanted to ask a question... He says when he starts the phone some lights go on and the screen stays black, on my m7 it vibrates and starts up without any lights. could this be a sign that there is more damage than just the screen and digitizer?
Thanks

Honestly, if you are asking questions like this you should not buy a broken phone. Only buy if you are sure you can repair it and know what is damaged exactly.
The M7 can be found for less than 250$ New on ebay btw. not sure you'll make any profit after paying for the phone, the replacement parts and the time to fix it. There are also some risks when opening that phone, many member here sucessfully repaired the M7 themselves and other damaged the phone when opening it, even if they did it very delicately.
Imo doesn't worth it.
But still worth to buy one for 250$ if you want to have one for yourself.

If I buy it it'll be for $60, that's why it's so tempting. but I will definitely put a lot of thought into it before I jump on it.
Remember if you are going to repair it properly, you'd probably want to buy a screen assembly + housing. Its almost impossible not to damage the phone when you open it.

60$ for a broken phone + 50$ for a screen assy + 15$ for a new housing (almost always damaged when opening like said) = 125$ + parts shipping, So lets say 150$ total and you are still not 100% sure it will work and won't have other issue like the infamous bad (purple) camera (25$)" Phone is used and will probably need a new battery, another 15-20$.
So at least 150$ + your time and still not sure it will work (might not be a broken screen, maybe a broken mother board), you might damage other parts when attempting to repair like the tiny flex cables. add an extra 75$ and you can get a brand new and carrier unlocked M7.
I'm glad I asked before going a head with it, thanks guys.
Hi, I broke my screen on P7 and I want to replace it by myself. Do you have any experiences with this process?
Thanks for advises
Can someone just give me a good link for a complete screen, lcd, touch, and glass(free shiping is desirable). Thanks in advance.
Dude.... its a PITA.
The back is "stuck in place"with glue that you need to remove, and then replace. The whole unit then needs to be taken apart. I tried it once, and being used to screen replacements myself, was surprised to fail miserably.
Its not that expensive from a Huawei center, and if its under warrenty, the labour is even free!

I found nice videoturorial on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD24da5bqbc
And I replaced my screen successfully!

I have to agree with Juggles.
There's no point doing it yourself, unless you are experienced mobile phone technician. If your phone was bought new then just send it for repair as it is under warranty.
Cheers

And I have to disagree... I just successfully replaced my broken screen few days ago. It's not that hard.
Is it possible to change the front glass without the digitizer?
After all thats just a couple of bucks compared to the "real-thing", but I gess its not the best option as there isn't a "How to change only frontglass out there"...

Hey,
Just wondering if anyone has come across any Nexus 6 deals lately? The 32GB model was $250 on Amazon a few months back, so something like that would be great!
Just shattered my screen, so I am wondering if it's just more economical to buy a new device...
Cheers,
Su

Your device with a shattered screen is a nexus 6.... right? If it still works, I would say to just keep it in it's shattered state. If not, I would get it fixed or if you can wait for this possibly HTC made nexus.
Yeah it's a Nexus 6... the touchscreen works, but there is a massive chunk of glass missing over the sensors in the top right. The screen turns off and doesn't turn back on when on a call, and it's also sort of dangerous.
I had my phone set up perfectly, and I don't really want to upgrade... so ideally, I would just like to do a Nandroid back of the broken phone and restore into onto a new device (my bootloader is luckily unlocked).
Cheers,
Su

If you're looking at replacing the entire device, why not just try replacing the screen first? Apparently your digitizer is still fine... I think you can get the glass replacement for ~$20 online. It may be a bit more difficult to just replace the glass, but it's doable.
Best case, you're out $20 and some time... Worst case, the new phone cost you an extra $20 and some time.
I just need a fully functional phone again, asap, but thanks for the suggestion. (Also, as mentioned the proximity sensor appears to be broken, and that's presumably not easily fixable).
Cheers,
Su
Check Swappa. You should be able to find something there.
On eBay the nexus 6 are very reasonable
Swappa. I have bought 2 from swappa. 200$

Motorola will fix it for $175.
