This take apart repair guide will walk you through the steps of disassembling your MyTouch 4G. This guide aimed the LCD and touchscreen digitizer replacement, but other internal parts may be repaired and replaced too. This guide is a step by step format and can be followed for a quick and safe repair.

This guide will help your replace the following parts on your HTC MyTouch 4G:

HTC MyTouch 4G Touch Screen Digitizer Glass Replacement

HTC MyTouch 4G LCD Screen Replacement

Tools:

T5 Torx Screwdriver

Small Phillips Screwdriver

Safe Open Pry Tool

Heat Gun / Hairdryer (optional)

HTC MyTouch 4G Screen Repair Guide:

The first step is to remove the back battery cover, the battery, sim card, and memory card. Now remove the two torx 5 screws from the back housing and the small phillips screw located below the sim card holder. You can now use a safe pry tool to release the clips from the outside edges of the frame and remove it.

The next step will be to remove the four torx 5 screws surrounding the outside of the back housing. Remove the bottom cover using a safe pry tool. Release the 3 button flex cables, gently use a flat head screwdriver or a safe pry tool. Use a safe pry tool to release the clips on the outside of the back housing. Remove the back housing (frame).

Figure 1​

Release the power button flex cable using a flat head screwdriver or similar. Use a safe pry tool to release the two pop connectors on the motherboard. Now you can release the vibrate motor and slowly ease the motherboard out, releasing the clips with a safe open pry tool. Be aware that there will still be one flex cable connected to the motherboard underneath it. Lift on the side of the alligator (jaw) clip to release the cable and carefully remove it. The motherboard is now out, and can be put back to the side.

Figure 2​

Using a heat gun or hair dryer, warm the adhesive under the front of the screen. Use a safe pry tool and lift the front touch screen digitizer and place it above the phone, careful as it is still held in by a flex cable. Heat the back of the LCD screen to loosen the adhesive. Remove the LCD screen from the front of the phone. Ease the touch screen flex cable through the frame. You are now able to replace either the LCD screen or the touch screen glass digitizer.

Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.

Dang. Thanks for posting this. It should prove useful.
[myTouch 4G General] invasion2:
Yeah. Help a lot of people with replacing their LCD's and digitizers.
[myTouch 4G General] ...Awesome...:
Awesome work bro!!
[myTouch 4G General] repairsuniverse:
Thanks for the support guys!

Glad you found it useful!
[myTouch 4G General] dem0s:
Awesome! Thanks for great work
[myTouch 4G General] Kevinthebox:
Yes, it is a very good guide! :) Although, you should add that people who have sent in their phones to HTC to replace their faulty power buttons be wary when removing the back casing.

This was the case for me, as I didn't notice that the power button "fix" was actually a little piece of electrical film that "reconnects" the connection of the power button. I was unaware of this, and subsequently lost it and now I have a good screen, but no power button and no more warranty lol.

Just thought I should give a heads up to those that wanna open their phone if they have "fixed" their faulty power buttons through HTC :]
[myTouch 4G General] jjbadd385:
I have a spare mt4g with a faulty power button, it won't work AT ALL. I used to have to seperate the plastic case from the chrome bezel at the corner of the phone where the power button is located, & touch the spot on the flex ribbon with a piece of foil to get it to power on. But I was happy when I rooted, s-off, engineering bootloader, then flashed CWM 5.8.1.0, because now when I plug the handset in to the charger, it powers up in recovery mode automatically. I don't know if it is supposed to, but I am just tickled to death that it does! I can now consider selling the one that I use daily since everything works on it.

**EDIT** I just checked this one that has 4ext recovery and it don't power up when I plug it in. So if that's a feature that CWM recovery has, its almost worth switching to CWM on this one..ALMOST! I think 4ext is more stable, and just better over all.
[myTouch 4G General] thomas.owns:
How do you power the phone on without the power button now?
[myTouch 4G General] superbowlmania:
Question ... would replacing the digitizer and the LCD fix a screen that was shorted because some smart person decided it was a good idea to turn the phone on after a dunk in the ocean? The motherboard is fine because I replaced the battery and the phone boots, but the screen remains off. I know it boots because it flashes the button leds and the phone vibrates. Would you recommend an attempt?
[myTouch 4G General] repairsuniverse:
With water damage its always hard to say for sure what is damaged. If you are correct and the motherboard is fine and only the screen is damaged then replacing the screen will fix your issue. It does sound by what you describe that this is the case but with liquid its impossible to say for sure without checking more closely / testing.
[myTouch 4G General] jerkysh:

Hello,

Big props on the tear down thread! I liked it, so I wrote about it for the XDA Portal:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/mytouch-4g-tear-down-guide/

Very awesome work :)
[myTouch 4G General] roystarr:
Thanks

Thanks for this. I am just reviving my glacier that my wife dropped and broke the digitizer screen. They have come way down in price since I had lasted looked at it. Can't wait until it shows up in the mail so I can stop tearing up my fingers on the shattered glass!
[myTouch 4G General] zx3-hst:
Awesome, thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Windiddy:
I have a question, does Asus Xformer Prime use MTP or USB Mass Storage Device when you plug in to your MAC? Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
mtp...but I think a developer working on changing it so transfers can go faster.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Dog KMc:
Hello to the group.

I am a New owner of A Google Nexus S GT-i9020T

This is My second Android Device.

It has seen 2 OTA's

1, 3.0-3.2.6 (hours after Activation)(25 Days Ago)

2, 3.2.6-4.0.4 (One Week Ago)

I went on a 5 hour trip and used the Nexus S for GPS (Google Navigation) in Edge Data mode and a car charger connected and charging but after 3 hours the Battery was Dead.(Stock Battery)

My question for the group is;

Is this what I am to expect with the Nexus S GT-i9020T or is this a problem with the Phone/Battery?

I also own the Samsung Vibrant. (for 2 years)

Same exact setup/Charger using My Vibrant and My battery would actually Charge Up full. (Stock Battery) Weather I use ICS, Gingerbread or Froyo roms.

Any feedback on your GPS/Battery usage compared with mine will be helpful.

Other that this, The phone acts Very Good with the 4.0.4 OTA.

Battery lasts over 1day and a half for my usage and charges normaly.

Do I need to request A replacement? or is this normal?
[HTC One X] Raspster:
Anyone have a problem when using the stock HTC browser and when your done, after hiting the home key, sense is re-booting because it crashed? It will never crash the browser but only crash sense after your done using the browser..?
[HTC One X] animaleyes76:
Nope, not a single sense reboot yet. :)
[HTC One X] Terra1:
Yes, have had this a couple of times but can put up with it as its been the best phone to date.
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
The HTC browser is the app that causes a Sense restart most on my One X, but it's not the only app to cause it. I get around 3-6 Sense reboots a day.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
these kind of problems are easily solved by Superchrager, but needs root
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
Sense did not crash. Ics quit sense to free up ram whenever user runs a heavy app. The real problem is ics memory management prefers to kick foreground apps started by user and system process like sense instead of the dozens of cached background apps and bloatware not even started by the user. Htc is partly to blame for not making sense system persistent. But even so this ics behaviour makes smooth multitasking between 2 heavy apps like browser and maps unreliable and slow unless user makes a conscious effort to maximize available free ram on the device.

Edit: oh yes the 2year old nexus one running android 2.2 with 512 mb ram and single core processor multitasks much better than the quad core one x. I not trying to bash. Thats a fact.
[HTC One X] Raspster:
Ahh, ok. This makes sense or uhh, no sense..? LOL. Thank you s
[HTC One X] spridell:
I have noticed that the HTC Agenda Widget crashes sense almost all the time.

So far browser is ok for me.
[HTC One X] deanfarnaby:
It seems to me flash makes this issue worse

If I go on certain websites that run flash - As the flash is streaming or loading. Both the browser and sense crash - well the browser crashes then when I kill it and go back "Home" I find sense reloading.

If I "Wait" for the browser to come back - it never comes back.

After this has happened once, my flash performance becomes none existant - it wont even stream a low quality video without crashing the browser.

According to HTC I have to factory reset to fix it. Looks like I will be staying away from the problem websites untill a few updates are released.

I used to run this "ROM" not the exact build - but I has ICS sense 4.0 ported onto my Incredible S - I never had this issue - even the website that cause me a problem now work absolutely fine. I presume it's a Tegra optimization issue?
[HTC One X] crazybones:
Had the same issue with Sense crashing constantly. However, I resolved by unticking Fast Boot under settings and clearing Sense cashe. Then rebooted the phone and the problem was resolved. It was "crashing" 10x a day, but has not re-occurred since in the last week.
[HTC One X] deanfarnaby:
I have still had browser crashes. but....

I noticed fast boot was on yesterday I went to boot into recovery and it just booted straight back up. Turned off fastboot .. come to think of it, I haven't had a sense crash since....
[HTC One X] crazybones:
I had actually contacted HTC support who advised that there were no known issues with Sense crashing and recommended that I exchange my phone!

Since unticking Fast Boot, the phone has been perfect.
[HTC Wildfire S] matt5eo:

Thumbs up

Thanks for porting :cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
Is it possible to port the status bar to sense 2.1/3.5 Rom's?
[HTC Wildfire S] crzcar:
Can I just install the clock location mod alone?
[HTC Wildfire S] af974:
Sorry, thread closed, the original developer of Reloaded ICS contacted us.

My suggestion for you is to always contact the original developers asking permissions to use his work even if you include credits in your thread.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
I have a RAZR. I went to insert the headphones into the jack as I have before, and this time my headphones would not insert all the way into the jack. I tried a couple of times, and then tried a few different pairs, with no success. I shined a light into the headphone jack, and don't really see anything lodged, just the white bottom of the jack. Anyone else have headphone jack issues?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
I have not had issues like that.( It does not seem to like mine, but it works.)

This is my issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOo4q4qGZCc&feature=relmfu

4Ktvs over and out
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AndroidGreg:
Quit complaining about you living in a crappy 4g signal area, I dont get 4g at all. Just use 3g its faster you allready said that on another forun, your just being pissy and spaming that all over, im getting sick of it.

As for the OP's problem, try digging down there with a paperclip first just incase, mine is black inside so maybe you got something white in there? And anyway the RAZR has a really tight fitting headphone jack, its actually saved my phone from multiple falls.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Seriously quit trying to high Jack threads!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
It is some times a bit hard to get them to go into the jack. How many sets have you tryed and when did it start?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
This is all I've seen you post for the past few days. Why not go tell someone who cares?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nailll:
I had this issue! Paperclip will do the job, but be careful. After this little operation I still got issues with the sound even after. Now I need to do little turns with headphone jack too hear something. I think its just a dust or similar. Need to clean it. (I even going to try wd-40. It helped with similar problem with motorola milestone)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
Wow. All these complaints about Verizon. Im using Rogers and getting 6.45 MB down and .89 MB up. Talk about slow speeds!!!

To the OP. I have had this same issue with my Atrix and now my Razr. Sometimes I even have it when I have the audio jack plugged in the phone decides to route the audio through the speaker. Definately my last Motorola phone. I should have learned my lesson when I used the old Mike/Nextel "military grade" flip phones. Those things where useless.

Off topic but has anyone had any issues with the vibrate motor (get your mind out of the gutter!)? Mine with sometimes work while texting and sometimes it wont do a thing. When I turn the volume all the way down it sounds like a dying bee inside the phone. Another weak piece of hardware that also plagued the Atrix.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jonson9688:
I've actually seen this issue with my Droid RAZR MAXX, and did not try to mess around with the headphone jack; I just called Verizon and they sent me a new one. You should probably do the same since it's covered under warranty.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] p.johanna:
THANKS!

My headphone jack stopped working so I went into the VZW store and refused a refurbished phone. I called CS and they wouldn't budge on issuing a refurbished in exchange for my, "I just paid out of my pock three weeks ago!" phone.

I found this thread and just blew "DUST OFF" into the headphone jack, upside down and now it is working! Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dsdesai:
Thanks

Cleaning with paper clip worked for me too.:good:
[Nexus S General] amsweeting:
Hi,

I have a i9020A (ATT) Nexus S stock and the OTA from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 is giving me the exclamation triangle and not upgrading.

The OTA downloads and verifies OK , but errors on installation. Have not found this error on the forum.

Version 2.3.6

Band ver I9020AUCKD1

Build GRK39F

Any guidance appreciated.
[Nexus S General] wultan:
This is how i fixed mine.

Flash stock 2.3.6 - download it from a link somewhere in this forum.

After boot 2.3.6, dial this in dialer *#*#243256#*#*

Go to settings, system, phone info - you will see that your update is downloading.

Should not be a problem after that. Worked for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
As per the topic title, should we start demanding the JW4 source from Samsung?

If I am correct, it has been 6 months since the last source update? :confused:

What are your thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigX:
Ask them.

If they give you the full source of everything they can give you a source, upload it and the community will praise you... and Sammy :)

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naria9:
Demands probably won't get you very far. What Samsung does, or rather, how they do it, is really a courtesy. I'm sure in time they'll offer it, and our ROMs will benefit greatly from it.

Asking never hurts though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phzi:
It is their legal obligation under the gpl. I don't think "demand" is too strong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timpuri_noi:
force those little buggers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geyperman:
The propietary drivers and code isn't under GPL, and they are not required to provide us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxrave:
i think they will release the code as latest present for us...

i have asked them to rls and waiting for an answer if i got some i will post it here

i think some more should ask them to release, but dont demand or get angry... the source is not gpl or something like that
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorigo:
sure would be nice to ask, would help GB rom development im sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajica:
When we get official update from Samsung we will get sources, it was same when we got official gingerbread update. Don't worry you will get proper big ram karnel that doesn't break anything. Have patience people.

This is going to sound really dumb.. but after I flashed this, I can no longer root. SuperOneClick no longer works. :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] zaryab:
Download the Flashtool and root your Phone

Edit:

:/ U flashed the phone with the flashtool already

Just click the root icon

Keep USB debugging on
[Xperia Play Android Development] sairaku:
Thank you. :) I have tried that though, and it just stops at step 2. This is what I get:

Killing ADB server... KillServer 1.06s

Starting ADB server... StarServer 4.15s

Also on the side it says: *daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037*

* daemon started successfully*

Then nothing. If I click ROOT again, it just redoes this. I shall keep trying though. :)

Edit: Used Unlock Root program and it did the job. :) Thanks though for helping out! :D
