I've successfully taken my HD2 apart now I'm not sure about the digitizer I need. My phone doesn't have a T-Mobile logo and it came with the leather pouch which I read means it's not the T-M version.

I'm looking for a new digitizer and the one that looks like the connector would fit says it's for the T-M version. Rather than go on about it here is a pic of my digitizer. I'm in the UK so if anybody has shopping suggestions I'd be grateful.

I can't say too much based from picture posted above ...

It could have already replaced unbranded digitizer or it's Telstra, European, Taiwanese version... Are the call and end buttons colored on your phone (green and red respectively)?

If You have enough money, about 89-120$, better choice will be to buy a LCD+digitizer assembly also named LCM, they will work at all versions of HD2, not only T-mobile or European, I tested the LCM from European HD2 with in a T-mobile version of HD2 ant it works perfect. So go on eBay.com and buy one ;)
[HD2 General] hypertyper:
Call buttons are all grey. I've though about getting the whole combo but it's more than twice the price and I'm not exactly rich so it would have been nice to just get a digitizer. I was hoping there would a way to identify properly which digitizer I need. I've sent a message to one of the suppliers on ebay. I'll see what comes out of it.

According to this article the different versions of the HD2 aren't physically the same size in terms of casing. Do the LCM units fit all the same?

[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Clarification

Let me help you:

#1.your picture is defining an uncommon/unbranded TMO(bile)US touchscreen(No doubt about, at least for me!), but grey hardware keys are for international HD2 model, probably you have a (let say) hybrid (home made)version between american(TMOUS) and international model;

#2.nevertheless, in your financial position, I'll look on ebay for an appropriate touchscreen model(there are plenty, most of them with very clear pictures like your's) for about US$30-40;

#3. if you want a combo, as far as I know(and pvii already said it) the 2 LCMs are geometrically identical, but the frame/chasis on which lay on the LCM is different(the american model is longer on 2,0-2,5mm);

#4. international model is cheaper & easier to find.

For more informations/help feel free to contact me!

Cheers!
[HD2 General] pvii:
May be it will be better if You post a photo of rear side of your display or at least say it's product number (from sticker on square copper pad, rear side), i.e. P/N:60H00300-00P is for T-Mobile and P/N:60H00295-00P is for international version.

If You don't have enough money for a european LCM combo, you can buy a LCD apart and digitizer apart, even from different sellers but you have to buy matching parts, both for European or both for T-Mobile version.
[HD2 General] hypertyper:
Thanks for the info guys. The serial number is the kind of solid identification that I was looking for. The serial on my screen ending in 300-00P indicates that it's the TMobile version.

My theory is that since this phone was bought when it wasn't exactly new on the market HTC had switched to the solderless screens which seem more modern?!?

I'm assuming that in terms of connection the digitisers that look like they will fit in terms of connection should work. I'm only worried about the dimensions of it since the casing of mine is smaller than the real TMobile version from what I can tell.

Since I can't find anything else on ebay I guess I'll order one of the TMobile ones and see if it fits. I'll look for a shop with return policy just in case.

Thanks for the help. If anybody has further suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Read carefully my previous post:

you don't have to be worry, the touchscreen, lcd and lcm are geometrically (length x width) identical!

Yupp, any LCM will fit on any model of HD2.
[HD2 General] hypertyper:
I wasn't sure which part was identical but if the digitizers are then what I ordered should do the trick. Digitizer should arrive this week so hopefully I'll have something to report about ;)

edit: Digitizer arrived and fits perfectly. I guess my phone was some weird mutation. Solution is to just buy a digitizer with the correct connection, job done.

Oh and getting the right tape is a total *****. I had to take everything apart again because my tape wasn't strong enough!
[HD2 General] hypertyper:
I thought I'd post my findings and produce some cliffnotes on how I fixed my HD2.

Firstly, if you search youtube for "leo as" and "leo dis" you will find the official HTC videos on how to assemble and dis-assemble the HD2. They make it look easier than it is. Also, they don't separate the digitizer from the screen.

I ordered the tools to "dis" off ebay. Especially the T5 screwdriver was worth getting since it allowed me to find out which digitizer I need. I have a non TMobile version but needed the TM digitizer.

I found that using an old credit card type of card works very well for taking the phone apart. It can reach further into the phone and bends rather than breaking like some of the cheap tools from ebay.

Especially for separating the digitizer and screen it's great. I heated up the digitizer & lcd combo in the oven for a couple of minutes like the video advertised for taking the middle part of the phone apart (you'll see in the vid). Here comes the interesting part: Instead of sliding the card / tool all the way across the screen (between screen and digi), it's enough to just separate it around the edges. There is no glue or adhesive in the middle. It seems obvious now but I got lots of glue all over the LCD which was a bit** to clean.

Another tip that is worth repeating is getting the cheap double sided tape from ebay which is meant for Iphone digitizers (3M branded). I got three of them for £1 incl delivery. I used it to put the "middle" of the phone together. Screen and digi I did with cheap double sided tape which is working but I regret somewhat.

Another tip would be the whit cable (flash?) which goes on the bottom of the mainboard. I put it on top to start with. It's easy to mix up. Also it makes sense to put one end on before you put down the mainboard because that way you still have proper access.

Make sure you have good tape and be patient. I had crap tape and just slammed things together because I was so keen to see if the phone still works. I had to take it all apart again which almost broke the phone because it was coming apart in all sorts of places.

Overall it's like a big, fragile puzzle. I got the phone from a family member who had dropped it so all I had to get was the digitizer and tape. Now I have the best phone that ever lived :p

If anybody has questions, I feel like I know the hardware of the HD2 inside out.
[HD2 General] Egrier:
I also took mine apart to replace the digitizer. I haven't got the new one yet though. I also watched the take apart vid on youtube. Unlike you I didn't disconnect the white wire from under the board. As a matter of fact, I left the other wires attached to the mainboard and just disconnected them from the GPS, camera and Bluetooth boards. At the end of the little channel that the wires are in, there was a little metal tab that held the wires in place. I just bent the tab up to remove the wires. Like you I used a piece of credit card to loosen the glued pieces.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanoid:
Well, I'm attempting to root my friend's t'mobile vibrant, but I've come across an issue with using Odin.

A little info on his phone:

It's the latest rendition of the t mobile vibrant. Complete with a front camera.

I've rooted vibrants before with relative ease, but this one comes stock with froyo, and not eclair like previous ones.

Not a problem, I thought. That's what Odin is for! (right?) Anyway, I follow the instructions on how to use Odin. Get phone into download mode, boot up odin with the pit and tar files. Anyway Odin tells me the process "Passes".

I've seen in videos that after this happens, the phone is supposed to install/boot/whatever, but this one doesn't do that. Instead it shows me a screen with a loading icon in the middle and every few seconds a battery icon will appear behind it. So I've tried waiting it out, but my friend starting getting impatient after what seemed to be 30 minutes. So, he suggested I disconnect it from the pc, so I did.

The phone turns off completely but it loops at the Vibrant screen. I'm still able to get to Download mode, so I'm not completely screwed. I've tried different versions of Odin but they all give me the battery icon screen. Can anyone help me out?

EDIT: Well I found out the battery loading screen is actually telling me the phone is charging. I really don't know what else I could be doing wrong
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Sounds to me like you are using the SGS 4G, or Vibrant 4G, where as this forum is for the Vibrant 3G model. If that is the case, you should look for your Odin image here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1068 , link to the SGS 4G Forums. Good Luck, hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I am fed up with reboot issues and I have created a Facebook page in order to gather as much evidence as possible and send it to LG's headquarters. This is unacceptable and LG must issue a recall as evidence is mounting that this is a hardware issue and not a software one as LG so adamantly claims. I want as many people as possible to join my group and as soon as I have a substantial number of members I will pass it on to LG. They cannot keep ignoring the ever increasing pile of complaints.

STEP 1- Download Odin V1.83 here http://hotfile.com/dl/116095613/1d3d429/Odin3_v1.83.exe.html This will be used for flashing files later.

STEP 2- Download Kies here http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as?L...OUNTRY_CODE=GBR This will install the usb drivers needed for the flashing so install after downloaded.

STEP 3- Download Latest samsung UK Simfree firmware here http://www.multiupload.co.uk/LSLRGURR57 There is no Password Just put extract the .tar file in the zip archive and put it as the PDA in odin and reboot your phone to download mode

STEP 4- Connect the USB cable and Turn your device on with volume down, action and power pressed - press 'up' at the warning prompt Run the Odin EXE you just extracted from the ZIP.

STEP 5- Only 1 file must be loaded in the PDA box the file as follows For PDA load, I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.TAR

NOTE(PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PIC BELOW AND AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU REPLICATE THE SAME SETTINGS AS IN THE PIC AND YOUR GOOD TO GO)

STEP 6- You should have a yellow box on the left side in Odin if you have followed this guide this means you are ready to flash. Please make sure your battery is full wait for any drivers to load and the yellow box on the left should be there if it isnt you have not installed Kies STEP 2 if you have the yellow box on left proceed by pressing start on Odin and relax.

STEP 7- Odin will display a progress meter on Odin and on the phone be patient while it flashes all the required files once done it will reboot the phone and goodbye o2 logo on boot and shutdown. When the phone finally boots back complete setup. And there you have it a fully debranded samsung galaxy s2 hope it was easy to follow enjoy.

STEP 8- One last final step is to change your CSC code by typing this code in the phone dialer *#272*<your IMEI># (the code will be listed at the top of the screen. If you're coming from O2 PAYG handset it should say O2U. Now Enter recovery (volume up, home, power keys together) and do a factory reset and choose reboot phone Check your CSC code again Hopefully it will now say XEU

Rebrand your firmware back to O2 original firmware for warranty purpose or you just want to go back to o2 original rom download it here http://www.multiupload.com/VHX20NJEAP There is no password extract the zip file to the desktop you should end up with I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100O2UKD1_HOME.TAR The procedure is the same as above just start from STEP 4 above skip STEP 8 use the same settings as shown in the pic below enjoy.

Why would you do that if you can just do it like described in this post for free?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] risq:
Because this guide is to de-brand your device, NOT unlock.

It will get rid of carrier references and customisations by the carrier etc.

This method puts the put to "How Samsung intended" - Software wise. However, you will still be locked to the carrier you were before.

Hiya,

The best source for the branded and unbranded firmware is samfirmware.com. You need to be logged in to download anything. I saw there many uk carrier's firmware. Some of them you can update via kies, but the firmware in your phone must be original (stock that came with phone).
