Are you talking about the sim tray or the sim reader?

The reader is between the screen and the upper frame. You have to remove everything to get at it. You can see in the image, the access it under the screen, the rear of the panel is solid. The screen is held on only at the outer edges, about 1mm border.
[One (M7) General] layoup:
You mean that I have to remove the screen to find sim card reader ?
[One (M7) General] layoup:
I just checked on IFixit and you are right....

I fixed Htc Desire, Desire Z, Desire S, One S and One X but the HTC one is the worst of them.
[One (M7) General] layoup:
Hello, do you have some advices to remove the screen ? Do I have to warm screen in order to melt glue ? Which kind of tools I have to use ?
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
I would say warm it yes, but not too localized or to hot.

I just pulled my back cover off of mine and i'll have to say, it was kinda a b!tch. I don't know if they changed something on this one ( mine was replaced with a unit made in November) but the top portion was snapped in and glued. I was incredibly impressed at the screen, I had that damned thing twisted like crazy and it did not crack or distort. I did this disassembly with the phone ON to verify that I had full functionality during the entire process.

So using heat would have made this process all that much easier.

I used 3 guitar picks of varying thicknesses and a couple pry tools. I mangled the lower shell, but I was doing this to replace it to black.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
So I finished my conversion. This phone should have only been in black!!

Small problem, before snapping the back on I tested everything and it was all perfect, snapped on cover and now my lower speaker plays no audio, it simply clicks. This only happens when I play music, videos or more importantly speakerphone. I have another black rear cover but if there is a way to just disable the lower speaker with software I would be ok with that too!

Any idea what would cause this?
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Alright, took it apart again and inspected it. Found the problem. at the base of the phone there is a ground clip that covers and grounds the usb board to the main board. Directly above that there is a very small connector with a black and red wire in it, those are your lower speaker connector. when reinserting it into the back cover the red wire moved onto the ground plate and wormed its way between it and a spring clip that ground it to the back cover.This spring clip applied enough force to lightly cut the casing thus grounding the positive speaker feed to the phone case. Kinda a b!tch to fix, full dissasembly is needed to pull that board out, i then used liquid electrical tape on the damaged spot. Let it dry and reassembled. Now its black and perfect!

I attached a photo of the red wire and its location. Be careful with this area, I was lucky the board or phone didn't short out!View attachment 2559847
[One (M7) General] layoup:
Happy that you solved your problem. I just want to thank you for your support because I managed to change sim card reader. Last step, put phone in his outer shell which I haven't yet received.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
No problem with the help, what good is a forum like this if it doesn't help others.

It's pretty straight forward. One major thing is keeping track of the screws because they are all different and not interchangeable.
[One (M7) General] layoup:
To change card reader, I didn't remove motherboard. Just disconnect card reader from upper board and lift up screen. By doing like this, I am sure that all connectors are well pluged
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Yeah, they would be. How was the screen to remove?
[One (M7) General] layoup:
Not very hard, I warmed it with an hair dryer during 5 minutes. After that with an guitar pick placed on the left edge, I managed to lift it up. Now I have to glue it again at mid frame to be sure that it will not move
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
I'll give it a go tonight, I have a spare front, no screen, and back in black I'd like to keep Incase I muck this one up.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Didn't even need a hairdryer, just lightly pushed on the screen from behind, got it up a bit and ran my guitar pick around the perimeter and it jumped out like nothing. Swapped it into my spare black front and presto, I have another full black conversion kit in case I break this one..

I'm very happy with this conversion, I unlocked the bootloader and installed CM11.. I just can't for the life of me get S-off... Tells Rumrunner tells me i'm not root, but i'm clearly root.
[One (M7) General] pradeepvizz:
Good stuff guys, @lz3man Try the new soff tool - firewater soff
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Tried it a dozen times and nothing.. then it hit me, I forgot to allow Root access to Apps and ADB, ran it again and bam, S-off.. Oddly enough, it removed the ***TAMPERED*** flag :)

Running CM11 with CWM with S-Off... Do I need to change the radio to get LTE or is my stock radio good?
[One (M7) General] dbz5as:
Now we need someone to mod the HTC One's hardware to include SD card capabilities :p

I can dream...
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
I have no idea where it would get installed.. this thing had no room ! I had a piece of tape rolled up and it was too thick to snap the cover on right lol

A+ on engineering for this device... sadly F- on customer support.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
No need to adjust radio. LTE worked fine here.
[One (M7) General] _RiVeRsIDe_:
Hello! I found here posts about sim slot replacement. I teared down whole phone, put lcd out, and now i can see sim slot.

But is it soldered there?

It was just glued. Now i'm going to order new adapter.
[One (M7) General] bavarac:
Hi,

Yesterday i change housing with display on my HTC ONE.

Everything is connected, and the rest is just to close the phone. I turned on the phone to test the functions and everything works without any major problems except wifi.

Signal is too weak. I can find signal if I'm 1-2m away from the router.

Anybody know what is this? Maybe cover the phone serves as an antenna?

Thanks and sorry for my english
[One (M7) General] bor3d2damax:
I would double check those blue and Grey wifi cables next to the camera. Try disconnected and reconnect.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Is the back cover still off? last I checked the WIFI antenna was in the back housing.. also make sure all the snap cables are in place properly. sometimes they feel like they connected but they just slid off and never clicked.
[One (M7) General] n1234d:
Hey, I did the exact same thing as you.. However, I have two concerns:

Gaps between speaker grilles and back housing (both top and bottom).. Holy ****, they are huge!! I'll attach pics later.. But it's big enough to fit at least 3 a4 size papers(thickness)

My bottom speaker crackles a lot, for stuff that isn't bassy, just midrange.. Its really noticeable, I'll attach recordings later.. Also, the volume button of my black housing doesn't seem to work.. When I press vol-, it just goes all the way in, and doesn't press the button. Also, I could do with better lock button feedback. Any ideas?

Thanks..
[One (M7) General] n1234d:
@lz3man, and others in the thread, chime in too..
[One (M7) General] UltraNoob:
I have a gap in my top grill as well, but my bottom grill is flawless. The gap allows dust to accumulate in the front camera :( I also noticed that the AT&T housing doesnt "fit" as well as the regular GSM housing that i had originally. The sim tray sticks out a bit and my power button is more flush with the housing. I think i might order a new back housing to try and fix the issue.

The volume buttons should just fit into the housing there isnt much that could go wrong there...

As for the speaker are you running a custom rom?
[One (M7) General] n1234d:
The black volume button looks exactly like the silver one, yet when I fix it in, in just the same way, the vol- button doesn't work. I'm currently using a piece of plastic to get the power button raised, and IR doesn't work (even with the housing off). For the speaker, I think I damaged it while prying the lower grille off (I saw something that looked like a cut, although it didn't feel like one when I ran over it with a small screwdriver.. Anyways, I patched it with a piece of plastic, and although it sounds better, it's still far from what it was when it was good.. Running viper one without any sound mods installed.. Beats makes it sound better, when I turn it off, the mids get boosted a lot, which causes all the crackling. Do your upper and lower speakers look different? My lower one looks like it has a sort of plastic driver over the magnet below. Overall, I feel like a jerk for ever attempting this :P but now, I've gotta make it right to satisfy my really pissing off OCD, so lets see.. I'm thinking of doing a complete disassembly/assembly. At least that'll look way neater.. Until then, if anyone has ideas of how to get my IR working again, please share. It works sometimes, at random, but mostly doesn't.

Thanks

Calibrate touchscreen after repair/replacement?

I successfully swapped out my display and housing but the left 1cm edge of the display responds as if it's being touched 1cm to the right, if that makes sense

do you guys think this is a calibration i can fix with software? or faulty hardware issue with the replacement piece?

or maybe one of my ribbon cables isnt seated properly? i would hate to rip it open again, god i wish i never snapped the housing shut

can anyone help me out?
[One (M7) General] theartialmartist:
Hi everyone, i'm baffled as I just replaced the replacement display assembly with a new one from a new ebay seller and STILL the left centimeter edge of the display simply responds to touch as if its shifted sideways.

is it possible i damaged my phone? the digitizer cable port (the one that accepts the longer cable from the display) looks flawless, and as i said i tried two brand new screens now

i did pop off a tiny piece of plastic from the opposite ribbon cable port (the one that accepts the shorter cable from the display) that gives power and LCD display.. but the touch input seems to come in from the longer cable

Please can someone help with this? its driving me insane :(
[One (M7) General] Skanob:
Has anyone done a housing swap with their camera being the OmniVision module?

The reason I asked this is because I'm looking to see how different is the OmniVision module to the ST (Purple Tint Issue) is?

I am looking to purchase a replacement camera, but hoping that it will be the OmniVision one. And see if the issue will be fixed. Kindly checked the link above and confirm please?

I have disassembled mine and it has the ST camera and my first hunch is correct.
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Look at the speaker wires on the bottom, I had pinched mine

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

Chances are the ribbon cable on the IR was either cut, or the actual IR blaster was damaged (I almost damaged mine by pressing it with a screwdriver thinking it was the power button.

Look at proper alignment of all the wires and tape, anything that's out of place will cause it to not site right, zero clearance in this case.

I did a Full teardown and swap, I still have my full silver housing. I would recommend grabbing a black front frame from Ebay, the screen is really easy to swap over (only attached on the perimeter) and swap it out.

While your at it, swap out that lower speaker and grab a new volume and Power/IR button.

Take your time, be careful and it will all work out. The nice part now is that the new housing doesn't have the adhesive so it's simple to tear down again.
[One (M7) General] n1234d:
Did a full disassembly/reassembly in a new housing, and everything seems to work except the IR. looks flawless, no gaps whatsoever except above the volume button, where I had pried the back off.. Also, my display sits slightly above the speaker grilles in the center (both top and bottom), but it doesn't bother me too much.. Baffles me how flexible the display is.. Anyway, I don't care about the phone, I got an m8, and sold this, but my m8 got into an unrecoverable soft brick for apparently no reason, so I have this while my new phone arrives.. I'll post some pics in a while
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Yeah I'm in the same boat, I sold mine and grabbed a note 3

screen replacing

so i have a cracked screen and am ready to change it but i am not clear if any one will work or do i need a specific one ? in bootloader it says m7 ul , and on the back of the phone its pn07130 and after looking around for my part i found that there are a few variants of this phone but does that mean that Display Assembly and Frame are different ??

thanking you in advance for any info
[One (M7) General] Croak:
They should all be the same housing and display, the only variance is the colour options (silver, black, blue, red, gold). I would recommend that you spend a few extra quid on the matching rear housing as well, as it makes the job of disassembly so much easier if you don't have to worry about damaging the side plastic when removing the front panel. My first repair, I didn't have the rear replacement and it took a lot longer trying to be careful...second repair of the screen I had the rear panel as well, and it saved me half an hour or more, and I got a M7 that looked brand new when I was finished.
[One (M7) General] umhhmm:
screen replacing

thanks for the more than helpful and most appreciated info , i have come across so much conflicting info and when i have tried to find my parts i have been told that this front assembly is not compatible with your phone and that it won't fit because of the components inside are different and so on, so i figured that someone with experience would be the best place to find an answer , so you mean that all this time i have been fed a load of it ? and that when it comes to the front assembly they are all the same ? of course the lcd\digitizer are all the same, but where my concerns are the front panel \assembly do they all work on any variante ? i have found a couple of really good hi quality videos of disassemble and assemble so i am confident that i can teardown and put back together with little if any problems but are you saying that just to make sure that it all comes together i should get the back panel as well ? i under stand that it makes it easyier to put it all together if you have all new housing but with just the front assembly i can manage putting it together , the best instuctions are from ifixit.com and , fixez.com they both give enough good clear videos and pics with info that almost anyone can follow with succsess so i guess my question is , if i pick up Display Assembly with Frame from any variante will it fit ? or if i picked up both front and back housing along with lcd\digitizer it will work no matter what ? sorry for all the questions but so far i have been stonewalled by htc when i spoke to them and other than that i have found very little in the way of answers other than here from you and one other member , so once again thank you for the info it has been very helpful :good:

Hi, does anyone knows where to find an original SLCD3 display with digitizer to replace? Are these on ebay or amazon original?
[One (M7) General] umhhmm:
I got mine from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-HTC-.../121447352807?ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:US:1123# i just received mine yesterday i tested it and it seems to be the real thing it has the original htc lcd /digitizer and lcd the housing is the same as the old one all the parts have the official htc logos on them and QR code on the parts point to htc parts so ya i would say it is the real thing , i can't find any difference between the old one and the new one , delivery is fast
[One (M7) General] nikobel:
Ok, thanks a lot. But I have one more question, what 801e or 801n stands for at the description for the model in some products? Where can I see what model is mine? I ask this because I live in Greece and I might order one from European eBay instead.
[One (M7) General] umhhmm:
ok so i just went through all this myself and i have had confirmation from htc that the front bezel is universal so what i mean is that all Front Housing LCD Touch Digitizer Screen + Frame Faceplate Bezel are the same other than colour so you can pick what ever one you want as long as it is for htc one m7 , believe me i researched it to death before i was satisfied i read everything available pertaining to this issue
[One (M7) General] bonesy:
Personally i'd never expect a genuine screen from eBay, pretty much all of them are from China! I have fixed many of my phones but when my speaker grill and charger port broke i opted for HTC repairs. £175 later (they charged me for a screen even though it was perfectly fine) and 5 days after it was sent i received it back in perfect working order, only bad point was they had updated it to 1.57 hboot.
[One (M7) General] morphius88:
So i did the swap and everything went fine until I popped my sim card in. Thankfully I did not put the rear housing back on.

So when the sim card is in, i get no service. The sim card works fine in the backup phone that I am using.

It doesnt give me any errors or anything, just has no service. Any ideas? Maybe I screwed up my antenna somehow, although it looks fine?
[One (M7) General] dali13gr:
Hello everyone,

I just replaced the LCD on my HTC One and when I turn it on I get nothing, it's just blank, with no light on the capacitive buttons either. The device starts-up normally as I here the sound but the screen is black.

The only light that lights-up is at the bottom right corner if I press the power button continuously. It starts blinking and then the phone restarts. I must point out that the previous display, although broken, showed picture. Now, even the broken screen does the same thing (blinking light when continuously pressing power button).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) General] eosman:
Sounds like the displays ribbon cable isn't connected properly. Only way to fix it is to open it up and see. I tried to fix my HTC one and some how damaged the cellular and WiFi radio. I got the display to work but that's it. I ended up buying a new (used) HTC one instead.
[One (M7) General] Croak:
Chances are pretty good you haven't actually damaged the radios, you most likely just have a bad connection with the ribbon cable that connects the daughterboard (top) to the motherboard. That's the cable with the locking connector on the main motherboard side (just above the long display ribbon cable), and the push connector on the daughterboard side. It's fairly easy to get it partially seated on the locking connector (while it looks like it is fine) and have poor or no connection to ALL the antennas as a result (radios are all on the motherboard, which is the part that sits on the battery, covered in copper).

Take your time to reseat the cable, use a plastic tool to make sure it's slid as far as it can go into the locking connector, and isn't angled (not uncommon for locking connectors to pop out a bit one one side, make sure the black "flap" is parallel with the connectors). Then make sure the push connection on the daughterboard is making good contact (remember it was fabric-taped from the factory for a reason).

And while it might seem obvious, make sure your coax cables (the thin wires with the metal ends) are all seated properly, but odds are that's not your problem since you lost both WiFi and mobile.

Finally, make sure the back cover is seated properly, if it's not fairly flush all the way around, you could be making poor/no contact with the little antenna leads on the inside of the back housing. It's particularly important to "slide" the top of the display/motherboard assembly into the back housing first, then snap it closed all the way around.

A good test to see if you've seated it properly before closing the case is checking to see if your power button is "springy". If there's no spring feeling when you push it, or its too mushy, that's a good sign you don't have the top seated in properly. That could mean the three contact spots on the top of the back housing aren't mating up properly with the antenna leads on the top daughterboard, which could also cause connectivity problems, since that's the "window" through the metal case for signals.

ir blaster not working

Hi all,

i recently changed my purple tint camera with a new module. Now it works perfectly! However, now my IR blaster doesn't work anymore.

Anybody got a clue what it could be?

I saw you can buy a seperate power flex cable button for the M7, and i think the IR blaster is on this part as well, can anybody confirm this please?

Mayby i will try to put in a new power flex cable..

Did any of you already did this once? I am not sure how to remove this cable, it feels like it's glued to the frame.

Regards,

Bart

Double check to see that this is snapped on tightly.

I'm not sure since I already had a bunch of parts lying around and decided to "modify" my phone.
[One (M7) General] bluefender:
front glass only

i have a crack on just the front glass, lcd underneath is perfect, phone works perfectly..i just cannot live with the crack

on the front, i have seen them on ebay for a fiver, is it a case of just applying a little heat then use guitar picks on the edges

then lifting out craked glass, i know their is glue to be removed from lcd, do i have to take back off as well
[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Your better off buying a new lcd and glass.. the glass is bonded and it will be a bigger pain to separate the glass from the screen then the extra money to buy the assembly.. ie go work a bit to make the $100 it will be easier then unglueing the glass.

[One (M7) General] umhhmm:
after changing the front housing glass and digitizer i also found that the WiFi was weak if it worked at all as well after closer inspection the guide i was following had the antenna cables in the wrong order after switching the antenna cables to the correct place everything worked fine , i believe that it should be the grey cable in the bottom position and the blue just above on the main board and the blue should be in the first connection on the upper board and the grey in the second connection
