[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FalXori:
Thanks a lot!

worked.

Root, then used RebootMenu and now I'm running JB

Power button still acts as volume up but I guess I can live with it (and use Reboot menu to reboot every now and then)

cheers

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
how did you manage to root without getting into download mode???
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Until OP replies, just a guess ....

1. Root from stock 3e recovery (Chainfire method) power button acting as both vol up+ power

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849235

2. Installed reboot app

3. Booted into DL mode and flashed JB with Odin

4. re-root by same method (if root lost during flash)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FalXori:
Yeap, exactly.

Didn't do #4 yet though. I thought that method (without CWM recovery) didn't work for JB
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Not sure about JB, but

With Mobile Odin Pro app you can flash firmware straight from your rooted device and option to retain root.

No need for DL mode

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
hey xda i dont have a linux OS installed so im looking for anyone that willing to help me with my port.

im porting a rom from a certain device and i need this task done with the boot images ill provide.

Decompile both boot.img/kernel

Open both init.rc files

In evoboot kernel replace BOOTCLASSPATH by the one from GS3 boot.img.

recompile kernel.

heres the original instructions if mine wasnt clear.

the gs3 boot is the port btw.

Download Link to boot images

if this turns out successfully ill chip in some money ($2 sorry all i have until i get paid lulz) and give you 50% credit since the boot.img is what makes the rom boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
Not necessarily...It will take a lot more than just a modified boot.img to get the rom to boot. I would know, because I ported Sense 5 to the S3.

The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
I know that, I did everything necessary, just that editing the boot img is last thing to do for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CNexus:
What I mean is, you won't know what else is necessary until you flash.

Personally, I would not recommend following that guide. For things like this, it is too general to work well. It's better to do the init.rc step and then debug the rest of the boot process with logcat.

You will also need your proprietary blobs from TheMuppets github > jellybean branch > jewel.

I will post a modified boot.img later for you.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Z33type:
I have a htc one right now that I am trying to trade for someone in my local area for a LGOG Pro,but I came across a LGOG on CL for 100 dollars and its unlocked. The bad thing is that the screen is crack. He's willing to go down 75 for it for a fast sell. The phone comes with box, original reciept, charger etc.

Can the screen be replaced or fix? Will lg require receipt or will they even cover crack screens?

Overall is this even a worth buy? Considering the phone's 645 price tag.

[One (M7) General] itzsnookums:
Hey Guys i recently dropped my device into some water, no biggie device still worked and everything, but it was an excuse to get a device with slightly better Bin, so i filed a insurance replacement. So i figured i had already screwed it up, why not take it apart before sending it back.....

As with probably everyone we have all seen the IFIXIT tear-down of our device and they had some issues taking it apart, and even damaging the plastic bezel on the housing. So i was intimidated, but i wanted to see if it really was that hard.....

Guys its NOT HARD AT ALL....The hardest part is the plastic on the sides is actually pretty soft, but the only damage i had was before i heated the device up i tried trying to pry the speaker cover off with just a screwdriver (bad idea). This gave me some very very slight damage where i was prying against the plastic. With the heat and then pry this wont happen. (the adhesive is ridiculous by the way, some very strong stuff (I blame 3M)

Step 1: Heat up device with a hairdryer at the bottom speaker cover, your going to need to get it pretty hot (be careful, your speaker is under that)

Step 2: With device still nice and toasty take a spreader ( i used a guitar pick, but i was thinking a hot razor blade slid under might be more effective)

Step 3: Gently work spreader under speaker cover and work from one end to the other, I used a razor blade to get a gab and then work it off, wasn't to hard since the adhesive is warm and easy to peel off the cover. (be careful, you still have to use that adhesive to put it back on, or use another adhesive)

Step 4: Once bottom speaker cover is off take your spreader and place it between the black part of the housing and the silver part (essentially the phone is placed in a aluminum shell, and you need to get it out).

Step 5: With Spreader placed between the chases gently slide from one end to the other, on the right side by the speaker cover is a white tab, slowly leverage this tab separating the black housing from the silver housing, then pry up from one side to the other tell you get a decent gap.

Step 6: Take your separator and go a side of your phone, doesn't matter which one is done first, just like the previous step, place your spreader between the black housing from the silver, and gently slide from the bottom up, if your doing it right you will hear 3 clicks and that side is separated.

Step 7: Take your spreader and repeat Step 6 on the other side until you hear three clicks.

Step 8: Take spreader back to the bottom and gently pry up pulling the black housing out of the silver Back housing, while doing this you may need another spreader to pry the bottom and then go around the sides to make sure it comes out freely.
[One (M7) General] serialtoon:
Man, excellent photos showing us the goods. What i wanna know is that the heck causes the power button to sink in the way it does. Seems hit and miss with these. Some people get very responsive power buttons, others get mushy clicky feels. Weird.
[One (M7) General] Acill:
I couldnt do that to my phone. Were you able to put it back together and have it still look good and function as before?
[One (M7) General] itzsnookums:
Yes it works just fine, i have been abusing it on purpose, it has yet to screw up, I love this phone. But i have to send it in here soon lol

Good job!! By the way you left you jar of weed in the photos, LOL BLAZE ON!!!!!!!!!
[One (M7) General] itzsnookums:
Here is the power button, it has a black sticker over the top, but the button is just a little piece of plastic that pushes the little button, not much contact area really.

video will be uploaded tomorrow, sorry upload is taking forever
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
If you have a gap, there is no need to take the phone apart.

Just get some super glue in there and clamp tight.

And here are the OEM replacement parts if you screw up :D

http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-housing.html

I was wondering. Is it possible to ONLY touch the body (ie the housing + speaker grills) and replace them? There are a lot of people who scratched their ones and may want to replace the outside.
[One (M7) General] itzsnookums:
???? not sure what u mean?
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
In the picture, it seems you have thoroughly torn down the entire phone.

Some people may wish to simply change the speaker grills or the rear case (metal + plastic sides). On a scale of 1-10, how hard would that be?
[One (M7) General] itzsnookums:
The speaker covers are the hardest in my opinion, they are glued on not to be taken off, the hairdryer though helps the glue get loose, and then taking the spreader and gently prying up, if i do it again i will heat up a razor blade and slide it under and see if you can re-use the glue.
[One (M7) General] amolbali:
Gap Issue

I have a quick question..i'm from India..and here 90% of the phones have gap between the speaker grill and the rear case..and someone told me that the top grill is attached via a screw and the bottom grill is glued to the phone motherboard..

So my question is..since the top grill is screwed shall i buy a phone which has some gaps on the top and almost negligible gap on the bottom? Is it safe? Because i was afraid that the grill might detach from the body if i drop it..

I have already got two phones without gap..and the first one had a problem with the speaker and the second one had a problem with the camera..and i have to get a new phone this week..so please reply asap..thank you!!
[One (M7) General] Terra1:
So what about the battery, an easy replacement if needed or no chance?
[One (M7) General] Tinderbox (UK):
Supposedly HTC has said the OneM7 is highly reparable, and was designed with repeatability in mind, but it requires a special tool to repair it without damage.

Nobody seems to know what this tool is, so at the moment you still have to return it to HTC.

John.
[One (M7) General] stirkac:
they have a few of highly specialized machines built for One exclusively, and they cost a lot of money. they are custom built for htc so don't expect them hitting repair shops. they designed One to be repairable only by themselves (and probably profit additionally from broken screens etc). this way they can save the casing if everything else dies and sell it as new.

they have announced to press that they will try their best to fix qc and service problems. this is what we get apparently...
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
i have heard this few times, but i don't understand the significance of these machines as it seems like a person with proper experience/instructions can open them manually without problems.

[MENTION=2104796]itzsnookums[/MENTION] - Thanks for the post, has given me the hope for fixing my broken phone. i probably have a dumb question here. Can the digitizer be separately replaced? i see that the digitizer is separately available in etradesupply and hence the question.
[One (M7) General] fcknalf:
ifixit gave a rating of 1 for fixability.

but if HTC can fix my One and then warranty the repair, itd be worth the money imo.
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
What happened to your phone?
[One (M7) General] itzsnookums:
the display is so thin and laminated to the digitizer, doubtful if you can separate them, i would look but i did some durability drops and throws with the phone, i'll tell you guys this, this phone is a tank.....
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
I'd love to be able to swap out this grey body to a stealth black one... Us Canadians didn't get lucky and only one provider got the black, last week... Did you video the disassembly of the phone?

If he is able to get the dis-assembly video, i guess that's going to go viral :) i don't see any proper dis-assembly videos on the internet as of now.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
I hope its as easy as he says.

Can anyone identify the one screw that holds the top grill in place? Is it accessible when you lift the board out or do you have to dig deeper?

Hopefully the red casing comes out soon. I'd love a red HTC one.

[One (M7) General] Gvr4-330:
According to this video, it looks like it should be possible to just "pop" off the back cover and replace it without touching the rest of the phone.

The front speakers are going to be harder.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkedw4_27k
[One (M7) General] Tinderbox (UK):
The HTC One does not have a plastic back cover, unless he is talking about the fake HTC One, strang because the back cover in the video look aluminum.

Maybe it`s a language problem.

John.
[One (M7) General] codexv:
Looks too easy?:confused:
[One (M7) General] Gvr4-330:
I think it's a language problem. He's means to put it between the plastic (white part) of the back cover and the screen. Also, the back has already been separated in the video (does not show the actual separation).

My take-away from the video is that once the back is popped off, there is nothing else that looks like it needs to be done before popping a new back on, except making sure the power button is in place.
[One (M7) General] codexv:
Makes sense. We shall see.
[One (M7) General] Gvr4-330:
Yep... the hard part will be getting the back off, but I am hopeful that whenever it comes time to sell my HTC, I can swap over a new back and not worry about the dents and scratches that I may have accumulated over that time.

Question:

If I have a recessed power button (as in, 1mm under the plastic), how would I go about fixing that? What replacement parts would I need?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) General] Hesster:
If you don't care about the IR blaster, your best bet would probably be just buying a case with a covered power button. There's tons of them out there. If your power button is too recessed for the case, just fold a tiny piece of electrical tape and stick it between the real button and the button on the case.
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
Well its not so hard to press that I want to reduce the practical functionality of the phone.

I was thinking maybe I could open the phone up and actually change out the defective part.
[One (M7) General] Hesster:
Seems a permanently depressed power button would be a warranty issue? If you bought it from your carrier, call them first. If you have a dev edition or bought it used, call HTC. The warranty is transferable and they will honor it one year from the date of manufacture.

Opening it has a high risk of damaging other parts and will definitely kill your warranty. I wouldn't do it unless there are problems not covered by the warranty and you don't have insurance.
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
It's just that if I send this in, I may get another defective device back. One with terrible scratches or with worse camera tint than I have right now.

I guess you're right. I'll just have to take a(nother) leap of faith.
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
[MENTION=4756031]sauprankul[/MENTION] if you have warranty please do sent this in. I don't know about your previous experience in phones but this one is not bad but just needs some skill.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

I just watched the video for the first ten minutes or so when the case is being separated, have to say i am not happy the way he is opening. having opened & destroyed a HTC One before i kind of can speak here.

According to me there is actually not much of use of heating the device for so long or for that matter no heat other tutorials used no heat to separate case.

The front and the back case are held using 3 locks on the either side to hold them together, heating probably helps loosen but i think it might also de-shape the lock so that it might not fit back again properly.

infact he mentions in the video that if its taken off and put back once, you can easily take it off and put it back again - which implies that lock is not as strong as before.

i also wonder if other parts might damage in the way it is opened. i will comment back after seeing the complete video, but my first impression on opening is not good.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

and for the sake of comparison - The OP's method of opening the case works perfectly fine and you can re-use the back of the case for sure.
[One (M7) General] xorgu:
my rear camera was not working so i dissambled my phone and destroyed back cover and speaker grill but everything works.

now i have to buy spare parts but i don't know where to buy, there are some spare parts on ebay but i don't know if they are OEM.

please can u tell me where can i buy oem parts?

i need:

backcover

speaker grills

rear camera
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
I would suggest to buy from etradesupply. The only objection I have with them is their shipping fees which is little costly 19 $. I probably have been pampered by free shipment offers in eBay for many small items that I buy. The difference is seen when you ship material for 30$ and shipping costs 20., however you get it on just two days via DHL. Their material is perfect A class and they really pack it so well.
[One (M7) General] mdiaz33685:

[One (M7) General] designgears:
There is some glue around the areas where the clips are.

I have an idea I am going to try out.

I am going to remove the volume button and then find something I can push in the length of the phone and see if I can get those clips to come undone and then suction cup that side up and hopefully completely remove it from the shell with ease.
[One (M7) General] gimmeitorilltell:
My One has shut off the cell radio or it just quit working. Since you've had yours apart, do ya think that the antenna wire could have possibly came off from mine rendering the cell radio? I've lost the "roaming" select features on my phone but it may be due to the radio not working. I just don't wanna tear it down if I don't have to, but I don't mind since it's useless to me right now. The wifi is still working great!
[One (M7) General] lampel:
Not sure if it helps but on the one s a disconnected antenna would do nothing more than no signal - all the options were still there. Have you tried a hard reset and flashing a new radio?
[One (M7) General] gimmeitorilltell:
I have gone as far as flashing the ruu. I'll post pics of my "mobile data" & "more" buttons under settings. You'll see there isn't anything to select roaming. Maybe it's due to the radio not working?
[One (M7) General] lampel:
I'm really surprised the RUU didn't resolve it. That would have been my last suggestion. What carrier are you on?
[One (M7) General] gimmeitorilltell:
It is a sprint branded phone but I'm with page plus. This was my last resort before taking it apart, which I have not done yet.
