[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
I like Jelly Bean. I like how it looks and feels. It's a more mature Android. Plus, I like keeping up to date with software. It's kind of nice to have 4.2 running on the aging, yet good o'l Dinc, when some newer devices don't even have 4.1 yet officially.

Also, I got it working, by the way! Before, when I downloaded the newest one onto 10.1, it would just continuously load when picking a video and not work. After tinkering, I got it to play sound but no video. I could tell that the video player was different than the one I used on 7.2 (also, the newest app). I switched back to 7.2 for a bit and downloaded my apps. I backed everything up using Clockwork mod so I could go back to it whenever. Then I backed up all the Apps with Titanium Backup. I switched back to Tiny's 10.1 and restored the apps. I tried out Netflix and it worked. It was using the same player it used on 7.2. I don't know if it detects Jelly Bean when you download it from Google Play or if it does it when you sign in to your account. When I restored it, I was already signed in, so maybe that's it. At any rate, it works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Well, I spoke too soon. It did work for the first few videos but then stopped. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the Titanium Backup, but when I try to choose a video, it says I've been signed out. I sign back in and I'm back to the forever loading red screen. So yeah, I think it detects which OS I'm on as I sign in. Just a guess though. Just shows that it has nothing to do with your ROM aside from their newest player not working properly on it. It can indeed be fixed via the software with some tinkering.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Can you check the value for int name="nflx_player_type" in /data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient/shared_prefs/nfxpref.xml from a working Netflix in Gingerbread? Easier yet, pull that file from your Netflix backup from Gingerbread for me. Check for passwords in the file and clear them out before giving it to me for security.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Here you go. Says It's using Player 9. I have read that 10 is the newest player. At least I believe so.

Edit: just checked that file on 10.1. It says player 10. That means it switched when I signed back in.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Hmm, if you edit that file back to 9 and open Netflix does it work?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Yes and it didn't work. Then I tried "6". Didn't load. I tried 9 again and for whatever reason, it loaded. It works just fine now, using the same player it did in 7.2. The kicker is that I check the XML file again and it changed somewhat. It now says "6" and it looks different. I believe the Player line used to be before the Logged in line. Now the logged in line is last. If there was some way to force it to use 6 every time, even when logging in, we'd have a working netflix app on your rom.

Maybe "old app version=17" is the key, I don't know.

EDIT: Exited the app. Still works. Rebooted the phone. Still works. There's no log out button, so I assume to log out, I need to clear data, which I assume would just put me back at square one. Seems to be working fine now, as long as I stay signed in. If I somehow have to sign in again, I'll check the xml file.

Attached the file. Just edited the user id part.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaepernick:
Well, it was working. Then it quit. I checked the xml file and it had switched to 10. Didn't sign in or out or anything. Tried the 6 file and it immediately switched back to 10. So, I uninstalled and then installed 1.8.1. Replaced the nfxpref file with the one I backed up and it worked. Funny thing, it's actually using an older version of the player. I believe that may actually be "6". In cm7.2, it said "9" and was using a newer version of the player (newer than the one I'm using now). It seems to work well so far. Haven't tried updating from this yet, to see if the newest one works by updating, but I doubt it would work anyway. I did notice that in the shared prefs folder, there's only one other file with the nfxpref file. In the newest version, there looked to be about six or seven other files.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elnator:
Watching this with interest, if you guys figure it out please post a guide and link to it because you're not alone. My Netflix stopped working when I upgraded to 10.1 as well (interestingly it worked fine on my ICS One-Click ODIN Rom that I got last June, not CM) and this was the first thread to pop on my google search as I've started looking for answers.

*UPDATE* Got mine working using the directions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101525

If the rooting method for the Note 2 is using a kernel and that's what you used on the sgs3, then you are bricked and will need to send it out to get it JTagged.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] repairsuniverse:
The RepairsUniverse team has put together a take apart repair guide for replacing various parts on your Windows Phone HTC 8X. In this guide you will learn the steps to properly take your HTC smartphone apart safely. Repair nearly any internal component on your Windows Phone HTC 8X using this detailed repair guide.

This guide will help you to install the following Windows Phone HTC 8X part(s):

HTC Windows Phone 8X Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement

HTC Windows Phone 8X LCD Replacement

Tools required:

Safe open pry tool

Small Phillips Screwdriver

Adhesive strips

Windows Phone HTC 8X Screen Repair Guide:

You want to begin by applying heat to around the surface edges of the device for about 15-20 seconds on each side. You can use a hot blow dryer or a heat gun.

Next you will need to use the safe open pry tool and begin separating the screen assembly from the frame of the device as shown below.

Once you have properly separated the front of the phone from the device you will need to disconnect 3 Flex ribbon connections that are holding the device together.

After these connections have been released the front screen assembly can be removed from the back housing frame of the device.

Next you will need to turn the screen assembly (screen facing down) with the mother board facing you.

Using a small Phillips screw driver, you can begin removing 12 screws from around the edges of the screen assembly.

Once these screws have been removed you can begin disconnecting the Flex ribbon cables and Antenna flex cables (5 total).

The LCD and the Touch screen digitizer are held in by a jaw connector that can be lifted to release the ribbon.

The two antenna flex cables can simply be pulled out and the Key pad flex cable is a pop connection that can be released using a safe open pry tool.

You can now remove the motherboard.

Once the motherboard has been removed you can remove the upper back frame.

Now that the back housing and mother board have been removed, you can release the second connections of the antenna flex cables.

There are 2 small flex ribbons that will need to be released on the left and right side on top of the green mainboard.

Next you want to move the vibrating motor (next to the camera) out of the way so you can remove the upper mainboard.

Next step is to remove the ear jack and ear piece speaker.

You can now remove the battery and once you have done so you will have one more antenna cable to release and remove.

Last step is to remove the charging connector and the home button from the upper part of the device.

You can now replace the damaged screen for the Windows Phone HTC 8X.

Super informative

Very informative guide. Thanks a lot.

Under required tools, adhesive strips are listed. What kind of adhesive is needed? Size of strip? & where should the adhesive be applied?

Hey,

I have completly teared down my 8X to fix the broken glass. Changed LCD+Glass Combo.

Worked for almost one day. now it just wont start up again :/

It vibrates by pressing power button
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Wold:
Was your battery low ? I've had pretty much the same problems - it turned out that the stock cable that cable with the phone was rubbish and the phone didn't charge up properly - the solution I came with was using a Nokia micro-usb cable - leave the phone to charge for 45-60 minutes and then try to turn it on if it doesn't do that automatically.

Hi. Can someone make motherboard pictures? I replaced screen but I lost idea how to connect coaxial cables.( got picture but i lost it)

Phone awaiting for being assembled to housing but I want avoid mistakes and tear it down again( hard job)

Or you know how to connect them maybe?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] captivater1:
Yeah, the attached picture is acurate. You appear to be missing the cage which secures the camera and boards in place. The 8x is designed with stacks. One board sits on top another, connected by two ribbons. Then those the lower charging board which is laid atop the lower portion of the device rests inside the back housing. It's really not complicated.

As you say, it's just very hard. Also the back housing is very tough to get flush. I advise using a case to minimize the slight elevation from digitizer to housing.

The long coax needs to be tucked underneath the ribbon and behind the gray prongs. The long coax should be nesting right alongside the length of the battery. This phone is a huge pain to fix. You should know that by now.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] pauliusba:
Origin of replacement difitizers and where to get replacement adhesive

Unfortunately, I am also amongst the unfortunate ones who have their 8X screen broken.

I decided to so a DIY repair, because I had success at doing such DIY replacements in the past on my previous HTC phone's. I am aware that it is quite difficult to work on the 8x though.

What I am concerned about is the quality of replacement parts. Where do these eBay suppliers get the replacement parts from anyway? I'm expecting to find a genuine, HTC manufactured lcd+digitizer combo with real Gorilla glass and same LCD panel, but heard that a lot of these replacements, even though sellers claim them to be genuine, are in fact inferior to the original parts, which really worries me. One of the sellers explained to me: "it is HTC manufactured OEM , but not with real gorilla glass" and then added "I am sorry, the supplier tell me the glass is not real gorilla. so I reply to you". There's no way I'm going to buy such a fake part.. Another seller, when asked, described his item: "Hi, this item is oem product make for HTC 8x. and used the original Material to assembly this item as the HTC product. of course i will test the item first and only the item work in good conditons then i will send it to my customer. Thank you!", but it still worries me - I'm not too confident the seller actually knows what OEM stands for. :)

Any ideas on this?

Also, as a side question, I was wondering, where do you get the replacement glue from? I heard they come in some strips.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] lokeycmos:
so I got the mainboard out of the case, but I ripped a cable. I have attached a couple pics. could someone please tell me what ribbon I ripped and what I can do about it? or is it a loss? thanks. I attached two pics.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mc_gee:
Hi guys!

I've just bought for cheap a HTC 8x. I've got it from a guy which tried to replace shattered glass ...no surprise LCD got also damaged during that.

So.

Now I'm sitting her with a disassembled phone and brand new digitizer and wondering - shall I keep it cheap and get just a new LCD or is I safer to go for preassembled set of LCD&digitizer? Is it difficult to put it together (is any glue necessary and, if yes, where it has to be placed) or its more like putting two LEGO blocks together?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] repairsuniverse:
Your best option is to use the LCD + Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly. You repair will go much smoother. If you were to try the other route you would have to use adhesive to attach the LCD to the Touch screen. Those with experience can do this quite well i'm sure. The only issues with it could be dust or possibly not having a flush fit after re-assembly.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] peakcelln:
I have been repairing phones for nearly 20 years. I have my own small one man shop and have litterally opened thousands of phones. This has got to be one of the worst I have ever opened. What a piece of crap design; HTC should be embarrassed. Of course most users don't know this, because they only buy for the look and functions, but this phone should be avoided at all costs. Taking the back off without breaking it is a challenge for most. But separating the LCD/Dig. assembly from the b frame is one of the hardest ever. Once again, HTC feels they need to put far too much adhesive on their phones. Nuclear war would not separate these parts. And for Repairs Universe(Who I respect alot) to suggest the digitizer can be separated from the LCD when it is fuzed, is a joke, and borderline negligent.

I never like to go above 65 degrees centigrade(150 F) on my scientific hotplate, but for this i had to turn it up to 72, and it still took me forever with alot of reheats.

My best advice is to never get this phone, or work on it. It's a customer problem waiting to happen. However, if you do, try and find it with the b-frame attached...at least then you only have to worry about the absurd battery/back cover...what a POS!

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

See you posted this awhile ago, so this may not help you anymore. You pulled the charge port PCB up with the MoBo and LCD/Dig assembly. In taking apart this phone, the entire charge port board(PCB) stays down and does NOT come up with the original lift.

A few other tips. Do NOT use the old adhessive as some yahoo on youtube suggested. This is that black spongey adhesive HTC uses on a lot of phones and it ALWAYS needs to be completely removed if you don't want the Digitizer to float. Use manification(Microscope or desk magnifier), tand carefuly remove every molecule. Then wash with a solvent like windex or some I-alcohol. Use a qtip and maybe a soft tooth brush to remove the rest. Then carefully cut your new adhesive strips careful to not cover what was not covered before(Proximity chip, camera, etc.). Also, remove the shiny balck tape from around the edges after you remove the LCD. Smooth out where the LCD fits if some of the old adhesive became bunched when removing the LCD. The more prep you do, the less float and heartache you'll have later on.

I'll add more if I come up with anything significant as I put this POS back together...
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] peakcelln:
After careful consideration, don't effing bother with this POS. If ya think it's hard to take apart, wait til ya gotta put it back in that ridiculously engineered back. From the volume rocker housing to the top corners, it was incredibly hard; and i have alot of experience. There's gotta be a trick I'm missing; but I dont miss many. I tried warming the back, spunger shim, really thin guitar pick shim(My own trick that has always gotten me out of a lot of tight housing problems), Bottom in 1st, side in first, top in first, but nothing got a nice tight seal. Best I could manage is left sound gapped and down volume wont work. This phone should be considered disposable if it wasnt so expensive. I Can only hope this is not the wave of the future for HTC and other EM's, or I'll be looking for a new profession after 20 years..
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] ErwinP:
Crap.

After replacing the screen and putting it back together, I'm facing exactly the same problem. It almost as if you have to use your brand new screen as a lever to let the back cover clips jump in.. what I obviously do not want to try. Have you found a solution in the mean time?

Thank you in advance,

Erwin
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mc_gee:
A bit of OT, but I don't think that it would be good idea to make separate topic for that :)

As I have my 8x allready disassembled (and I have to wait until few parts comes from china anyway) I'm wondering is it possible to swap rear camera module with one from Lumia 920? Any chance that it will fit and eventually work? I do realize that there's a different kind of connector in L920, but maybe contacts layout is the same on ribbon and I could just cut connector off?

Any chance?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] repairsuniverse:
I highly doubt it, but if you have any luck please post!

Two different EM's With different Camera's, Modules, Sensors, etc.? I wouldnt do it either, could short your board...

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

I never did figure it out. I gave the customer a discount and vowed never to touch the phone again. Terrible design, way worse than the Inspire; and that one was pretty bad.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] repairsuniverse:
Thanks for clarifying mc_gee's question about the camera swap.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Clive_LJ:
Yep, I'd have to say in my few years of phone repairs, this has got to be THE scariest phone to fix. Absolute crap! I managed to replace the screen and get it all up and running but putting it back together is another story. So far, I've managed to break the power cable and the volume cable just trying to fit the thing back in its case.

Is there any need for such a seriously tight fitting back to a phone? I really don't want to finish this repair now as I'm afraid I'll break another cable and this is starting to cost me money replacing all the parts (which are also very hard to get hold of in the UK for some reason). It's definitely more hassle than it's worth and I won't be repairing any more of these crap phones.

If anyone has managed to get the back on without wrecking the phone, I'd love to know how it's done. If I do manage it by some miracle, I'll post an update.

Good luck to all those trying this repair.

Downloaded the new Clockworkmod Recovery from ROM Manager only to find that I could not back up to the external SD Card. So I tried reverting back to an older version (v5.8.4.0) and try backing up again to the SD card.

My phone booted into what appears to be a broken version of CWM where none of the volume and power buttons work correctly. Pressing the volume down only makes the screen scroll down. I can't select anything at all. I can boot into download mode but Odin doesn't recognise my phone. Should I download Samsung drivers and try to flash a stock ROM?
