Why can't we finda ANY of the sony ones? Have we heard of anyone successfully replacing one of the hitachi screens and it worked? Hmm, maybe more than just the screen got damaged in the process of opening it? But it is interesting that no one supplies the screen..

I don't know. I just want to turn my pile of parts into a phone again.

Thanks everyone for your research.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beatle_42:
Thanks shawndh

I followed your link to the Sony LCD vendor and am waiting on approval for the part. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PCLiteratesJax:
Did you get the LCD yet and is it working? I am desperately waiting for a reply from you because I am in the same boat as you. I have a pretty expensive paper weight right now :)

I ordered the Sony screen on the 5th of April and didn't hear anything from them. Yesterday I decided to call them to find out on the status of the shipment and they told me that they are OUT OF STOCK for at least another 2-3 weeks. SMH. Why didn't they post it on their site?? I requested a refund, I am planning to call them back in a couple of weeks to find out if the screen is in stock and then buy it. I don't like to have my money tied up for that long.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PCLiteratesJax:
This LCD screen WORKS for the Sony version !!

UPDATE: I ordered the LCD from these guys and it finally arrived after being out of stock for the longest time and it WORKS flawlessly !! Just wanted to give everyone a head up. This is the place to order it from !! shawndh, thank you so much for posting this, you are a life saver !! ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iynnoji:
Cheers! I was actually browsing for a new phone altogether, but I remembered that I had started this post a while back. I enjoy my glacier but I dearly miss having my Slide. It has the best keyboard I've ever used.

I really do appreciate that your efforts and that you didn't give up like I did! I am placing my order as soon as I finish typing this post.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iynnoji:
Damn. First it took a couple of days before I was finally able to get my account for the website activated to be able to buy the LCD. I then placed an order for the LCD this past Monday, I called today wondering why my item hasn't shown up yet only to find out that the screen has been 'out of stock since last month'. Unfortunately the person I talked to does not know when a new shipment of the screens will come in and advised me that I can either request a full refund or leave my order pending indefinitely to when a new shipment does arrive, my order will be for-filled on a 'first come first serve basis'. Unfortunately, again, I was not told what number in line I am.

So I caved. I've been saving little by little to buy a new Slide and I just placed the order. Though I am not cancelling the order for the new LCD, it totaled $62.12 for one with shipping and I figured that I might as well have a backup Slide for when the LCD does come in.

So if your SONY screen is cracked, just place the order and be happy when the LCD does come in, if ever. But I do sincerely appreciate all the time the other guys have put into finding this source and going through the trouble of ordering/returning parts.

TL-DR

LCD out of stock. Place order and item will ship when in stock again.

Thank you to the guys who didn't give up like I did.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] guitarist5122:
So my wife shattered the digitizer and like most that I've been reading here, while experienced in fixing phones, this one is a complete nightmare. So I ended up damaging the lcd and found out there are different screens for this phone. From the description of what a Hitachi and Sony screen looks like, it appears I have a Sony since it has the line along the width of the screen just under the flex cable. However, searching the part number on the lcd screen, it comes up as a Toshiba screen (p/n 83H00389-01). WTF? My question is, if it was you, would you just order a Sony screen? Are there compatibility issues between the different screens? Could I be a cheap bastard and just order the Hitachi screen? Thanks for any help!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
if you have the dented in line definitely get the sony, the others will not be compatible. i found sellers seem to use whatever part number they want to describe the replacment and they are often false!

so make sure you get some rock solid pictures, maybe even try to confirm with the seller what you're getting. if not you may end up with an experience like mine!

good luck! ----totally agree with complete nightmare!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] guitarist5122:
Ok, thx for the reassurance. Sony it is! Will report back eventually when it's installed.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] guitarist5122:
I said I would report back when I got the whole thing fixed. No issues getting the correct LCD. I found the company, ASK Electronics, on eBay and purchased what they claimed to be a Sony LCD for this mytouch. I crossed my fingers because it was incredibly cheaper than everywhere else, so I was scared in was the Hitachi LCD. Didn't take long for it to arrive in the mail and I immediately opened it up to see if it was in fact the Sony screen. There was some tape covering the dented line, but it was in fact the Sony screen.

Well, after letting the replacement digitizer and LCD sit in a cabinet for over a month (we got new phones in December), I finally put it all together today. I don't know about anyone else, but every single time I tear a device apart, I unconsciously sort of hold my breath as I press the power button. There is just always that hope that you didn't accidentally break something unknowingly. Well everything works! Booted right up. No responsiveness issues with the touch screen. No pixilation with the LCD. Very proud with this repair job as it looks as though nothing ever happened and no cracks visible between the digitizer and bezel.

So, for future people looking to repair your phone, even if you just crack your digitizer you are most likely going to need to change the LCD as well do to the amount of adhesive. If you by some miracle get the digitizer replaced without harming the LCD, you are a god. Don't be afraid to go the route I did and order from Injured Gadgets on eBay. They seem to be competent in getting you the right part and were pretty cheap. Lastly, the Hitachi and Sony LCD are not interchangeable or compatible. Get the right part! If it has an indented line on the back of the LCD going the width of the screen just under the flex cable, it is a Sony. No line, it is Hitachi.

Good luck!

Edit: I made a video real quick that I decided to share here and it mentions and shows the difference between the Sony and Hitachi screens. Just for anyone curious.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Hey awesome it all worked out! And great job with the video! You should through a link in YouTube for this forum on xda and another for the company you got the screen from. Maybe even a teardown guide if you used one, anyhow glad all is well!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] guitarist5122:
Not a bad idea. Thx ;)

Right

Agreed I just smashed 2 LCDs removing them the second one I thought I got out with no problems only to reassemble and find out I was wrong . Worste thing is I have the 60h000532 the expensive ones in BOTH phones FML
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] janmay88:
My hats off to you and others that have successfully repaired this phone.

I thought it was just me being a noob to phone repair... Glad to hear it's not just me. That darn sticky tape is horrible!

I'm thinking about repairing the LCD's in two of phones. One had a good LCD before I managed to slice it's cable an attempted flex cable repair. The other was washed in a washing machine (don't ask!), and could potentially have a bad digitizer too.

So I'm trying to decide if I should just throw these broken phones in the trash and move on with my live, or if I should give it another go.

For those of you who've successfully repaired these LCD's, did everything go okay getting your phone "stuck" back together? I assume you didn't use more sticky tape, but did you use any other kind of adhesive?

While I'm replacing the LCD, should I go ahead and replace the digitizers too?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Being the digitizers are just 20$ give or taken I think it may be worth the headache to replace that as well while your in there, especially if you aren't sure if its in good shape.

No need for more adhesive! Well actually I do recommend getting some 3m tape to put around the bezel where the digitizer sits just to keep dust out. You'll find this tape on eBay as well as all sorts of other places (maybe 2mm thick)

Don't throw them away, at the very least sell them for parts!

Good luck!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
been having issues with the light sensor so i was using a different phone lately until i had some time to open it up. i was thinking some dust got in there and was in the way as i could see a speck or two behind the digitizer...

opened it up and it turns out the sensor had broken off the main flex! well another 20 bucks i guess and one more week with a different phone... how does a sensor just fall off! i once loved htc's build quality... then i met the mt4gs... so much lost potential in a phone and a company, too bad htc... really just sad...

I find a place that have various LCD version called DBX. You can also search it but I am not sure there must have the parts you want. Hope you can find it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eLGi:
Hi guys. I have a problem a bit similar to the ones I read earlier but my problem is that I entered my PIN code and phone didn't recognize it. Now I should have an option to enter PUK code and everything would be fine, but I don't have that option. My screen says: "Take a look at the manual or contact with your service provider" (something like this, my phone language is Polish so I may translate something not correctly). I did take a look at the manual but there was nothing that could solve my problem so I'm asking you, members of xda community, is there any way to solve this problem without taking phone to my GSM provider?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
If you are using custom rom try full wipe maybe it would hep
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eLGi:
It didn't work, but it turn my phone language into english so I can write what it says:

"SIM card is PUK-locked."

"Please see the User Guide or contact Customer Care."
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
If you inputted a incorrect PIN for too many times the SIM card will lock up and require the PUK to reset the PIN failure counter - that much the phone is actually doing right.

If you don't have a possibility to enter the PUK then all you can do is to see a service point of your mobile operator to have the SIM card resetted.

There's pretty much nothing you can do as that's a security function of the GSM card and not the phone or the OS.

EDIT: Any chance entering **05*<PUK Code>*# or **05*<PUK Code>*<New PIN>*<New PIN confirm># works? (in case you can get to the dialer)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eLGi:
I can get to the dialer, but I didn't know that I can enter PUK there, I'll give it a try and write either it worked or not.

EDIT:

The second method worked! Thanks! When I use this first method it says that is either connection problem or MMI code is invalid.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kinfauns:
When I had a Vibrant, the jig helped me out of a few jams. Not too long ago, I got the Galaxy S2 as a replacement, so when I started playing around with it, I wanted to make sure I had one close by just in case. The jig is a tiny little thing and I'm prone to losing things, so it was long gone by the time I looked for it again. I decided I'd go cheap and ordered one from an eBay seller in China... that was a mistake. It was definitely cheap, but it didn't do a thing when I plugged it in. It wouldn't turn the phone on and it wouldn't put it into download mode. No sense in returning it either since the return shipping would cost more than I'd get back.

I still wanted to get a working jig and as luck would have it, I found a US based seller when I was looking around for a Kindle Fire factory cable. It turns out that he hand crafts these himself and XDA members give him overwhelmingly positive reviews for his products and service. I sent off a PM and he wrote me back in a flash, I put in my order and had it in 2 days! It's nicely built with a lanyard cord on it so I'm less likely to lose it and most importantly... it works!

I've attached some pictures here with the SkOrPn jig, the Chinese jig (the one without the cord that doesn't work), and my Galaxy S2 with the SkOrPn jig in download mode. It might cost a little more than the cheapest jig that you can find on eBay, but I'm happy to pay a little more for a quality product from a guy who takes pride in the things he makes. FWIW, I'm not affiliated in any way to this seller... I'm just a satisfied customer. He doesn't go out of his way to solicit sales of his products, so I just wanted to get the word out there for anybody that might be looking to purchase a jig for their phone.

Almost forgot... I've exchanged a number of PMs with him this past week and inquired about getting a USB OTG cable adapter. He said that while he doesn't currently make them, he'd certainly consider it if enough people showed some interest. Personally, I think a USB OTG cable is at the top of the list of must-have accessories for this phone, so let him know if you agree with me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
Does this one reset the counter on when booting into download mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
I have ordered cheaper ones from china that do the job just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kinfauns:
The short answer is I do not know. I did flash an OS through ODIN at one point, but never looked at the download count to see if it had even incremented. That phone went back to T-Mobile for display issues before I got a working jig and I've only flashed a recovery with ODIN after that. There appears to be some mixed opinions on whether any jig will reset the counter, but I doubt that one jig would reset it while another would not. YMMV.

I'm glad that worked out for you. In my OP, I was just sharing my experience of ordering a cheap one from China that failed to do anything and then purchasing one from SkOrPn that worked as advertised. FWIW, I'm happy with my SkOrPn purchase even though I paid a bit more. Ultimately, I was glad to provide a small amount of support to a fellow XDA member and getting a quality product in return. To each his own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
I would love to support another member but you might want to have him update his ebay postings. As of now it does not list the jig working for the SG2. If he updates that then I would place an order.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kinfauns:
I don't work for the guy, so it's not my job or place for me to tell him to update his listing, but I did send him a PM to have a look at your post. With that said, he states in his ebay listing...

The "SkOrPn JIG" is compatible with all known Galaxy S class phones, including the following:

So, that list is not an exclusive compatibility list... it's an "including, but not limited to" list. There's no difference in jig specs for the different models. If it works in those phones, it will work in the SGH-T989. I've also posted a picture in my OP with the jig in my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
Yes I understand it's not your job. I was only suggesting you let him know since you have started this thread in an effort to spread a kind word and support a member.

Also in the event I had ordered a jib from his ebay listing and it did not work I wouldn't have a leg to stand on regarding a refund because the model is not listed but I do understand what you are saying. In closing I'll kindly bow out of the thread since your reply seemed kinda aggressive.

Have a wonderful day. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kinfauns:
Well, it wasn't meant to be an "aggressive" post, so I'm sorry if you took it that way. By no means was I yelling and there certainly wasn't any spittle flying at my monitor as I typed my reply. ;)

I was just trying to make things clear and I also understand why you'd want some assurances. Personally, it didn't even occur to me to make sure this particular phone was in that list before I ordered. If you have reservations about it, I suggest you send him PM. I'm sure he'll vouch for his product and tell you that it will work in this phone. Good luck!

It is already listed in the eBay ad for SGSII. I have sold over 1900 of these to xda members, teamwhiskey members, edt members and via word of mouth in multiple IRC channel's since 2010 and to date it has not failed on any samsung phone, the only failures have been phones with corrupted bootloaders a.k.a hard bricks. Also you said SG2 and I'm not aware if any SG2 devices so I can't list that device. All Samsung Galaxy S and SII series smartphones use the same resistance value for Download Mode as far as I know including the latest Google Nexus.

Thanks to the OP for getting the word out on my premium high quality Download Mode JIGs. There is NO OTHER JIG made as good as this one PERIOD ;)

It has come to my attention that some devices do and some don't have the Counter Reset feature. It is up to the purchaser to know if their phone works or not with that feature as I only guarantee Download Mode. Apparently the i727 or T727 (lol not sure which it is now) does not have that feature yet it is based on the SGS2 internals.

What is even more disturbing is I can not find any information that suggests the T989 works with even download mode. I found this Q&A that seems to suggest that Download Mode works but Counter resetting does not. However again, lol, I am sure I have had customers with a TMO t989 purchase my JIG and they were happy as can be, so Im not sure if they ever tried the counter reset thingy. And my tester Alexea sold her SGS2 to get the Gnex.

Please if anyone can let me know for sure one way or the other I would appreciate it... I get emails all the time asking me about the SGS2 phones and the Custom Binary Counter reset feature and that feature is not present on my T959 test phone.

EDIT: kinfauns says his T989 definitely goes into Download Mode, but he does not know if it works with the counter reset feature of the device. Also, all my ebay listings have been updated to include the T989 and many other devices.

Needed a jig (you never know when you'll need it) and the lanyard is a pretty cool feature. Also, I didn't trust the ones from China. Just couldn't bring myself to order something that was such an unknown (no matter the low cost).

Just ordered a Skorpn. Thanks go out to the OP and SkOrPn!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SkOrPn:
The Chinese ones are not much different, in fact its the same exact connector and the only difference is the Chinese jigs are not tested to make sure the pins in question make contact, and so there is about a 15% failure rate, or even higher maybe. Someone like myself test each port before I even solder the resistor onto it, so I can weed out the bad apples and throw them away. They also do not test it on an actual phone to make sure it goes into download mode, and I do ;)

Hence why they are so extremely cheap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tynen:
So is this jig for when the key combination doesn't work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kinfauns:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XPerties:
This is true and the word "guarantee" was never used. In the ebay listing it details all information regarding the product and does say:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SkOrPn:
Yes, its for soft bricks and or difficult key combinations when needing to use Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SkOrPn:
Yeah Adam Outler might have a way to fix completely dead SGSII phones, I know he does for SGS anyway, but not sure for the 2. Download Mode is part of the boot loader on SGS, so if it gets corrupted by say Kies (which MOST of the hard bricks I came across were thanks to Kies) then the phone can still be flashed via JTAG. Not sure if JTAG is available for SGSII.

Download Mode is a guarantee "IF" your phones bootloader is intact and working proper.
