Probably, but you'll have to pay
Wow, so glad you posted this thread. I was 100% unaware you could even take the HTC One M8 apart, replacing parts is a whole new thing to me that I'm glad to be aware of now.
you can look it up on ifixit.com
I can fix laptops and stuff but I wont touch a cell phone due to the small parts.

I just dropped my phone. Smashed the screen. I'm wondering how many people have attempted to get the screen fixed for how much. Or if I should do it myself.
Such a bummer. Still owe 200$ on it to.

I replaced my digitizer screen. It wasn't that complicated but it does take time.
I recommend parts4repair.com they sell parts for all brands of smart/superphones out there right now. I broke the screen on my Incredible S, well the digitizer. Got a new one for $20 CAD. replaced it myself (did take a month to ship) and was good to go. Parts were great,got a little tool kit with all the wee torx bits. Check it out!
Ii already voided warranty with s-off
There's a guy in my city that will replace digitizer for 90 can or 130 if LCD is cracked also.

He says it will take 1-3 business days. I assume cuz he has to get the part

I work at a repairshop and I have done several digitizer replacements on the VIVID, its a little tricky since you will have to lift up the upper part of the LCD, or remove the LCD entirely. Doing so increases the chance of you breaking the LCD and then you will have to replace both screens. If you dont have a good heat gun and the right tools, you should take it to someone with experience.
I watched a tear down. While a probably could do it. I think your right. I'll just pay to get it fixed.

HTC quoted me.140.cc for a screen replacement

Yeah Nevermind, screens from the source are expensive. I'm used to seeing small charges from the usb ports dying out of warranty not screen repair

So I just got my phone back from repair for a broken screen. The repair totaled 189.99. I was however quite surprised that they seemed to replace the entire outer body of the phone. The back was scratched and the speaker bezels had a few nicks in them. All was replaced and my phone now actually has the magical zero gap shiz they talk about. I know its still my phone cause the serial is the same and it came back with ViperRom still on it. Just wanted to share my experience.

Just wonder if they put a new shell on it because they messed it up taking the old one off? Good deal though, you got your screen fixed and new shell.

Yes, I'd be curious of which facility was it sent to, also?
And may I ask the OP, did you send it from somewhere in the US?

I sent my phone to Houston, TX and it came back with scratches on the back and a bad power button. The gap was worsened.
Still my phone, probably a new back though.

Broke my screen couple of days ago. Searching for digitizer since then on ebay, amazon and etc. Can't find proper one, all of them have Droid DNA or ordinary Butterfly.
Any ideas where I can get one? maybe Taiwanese site?
Thanks!
That sucks. Sorry to hear bro.

I wonder if Butterfly/Droid DNA's digitizer is compatible, they seem to be almost the same screen, but there are some slight differences though and this may simply be explained by different OEMs. (GSMArena's tests show quite a lot of similarities between Butterfly and Butterfly s screens)
Problem is the that Butterfly doesn't have a second speaker, thus shape of screen is different
I saw etradesupply.com has the screen assembly, you could give it a check

try parts4repair.... im always get my htc sensation and nexus 7 replacement part there...
Does anyone here have experience with getting a cracked screen replaced? The device I'm talking about should still be under warranty (it's 1 and a half year old) and was bought via Amazon. Should I send it back to Amazon or directly to HTC?

If you cracked the screen yourself, then no warranty will cover it.
The point is that I didn't do so, it broke inside the pocket of a jacket. It's only one crack going from one side to the other.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That is still considered your fault. If you had received it that way, you could have turned it in.
I'll try to return it to HTC and see what happens. I'll post my result right here.
Sorry for the late reply, but I decided to repair the phone on my own and just ordered a digitizer / touch screen panel. Will be a bit tricky, but I've already done it with another phone.
So like 2 months ago I dropped my m8 and broke the LCD screen. I returned it to a stock Rom and put it back to s on before I sent it back to get fixed. HTC refused to fix it because of "warranty" issues. So does HTC replace broken LCD screens or just cracked glass? Or did they notice my phone had the harken karmen firmware?

Why take it to Sprint when the HTC Advantage program should replace a damaged screen at no cost? Even if he has Total Equipment Protection from Sprint it will still cost $150 to get a replacement device (through Asurion). It would be one thing if his phone had a hardware issue that caused the screen to mess up but his issue was physical damage due to the phone being dropped.
