Once again, they will not void the warranty for being rooted unless the problem with the phone is software related. I am on my third screen due to dust under the glass and it has been rooted EVERYTIME I took it in. Never had a word mentioned about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand1303:
I just got my cracked screen replaced. I have a rooted evo as well and I was really nervous about the same thing. I took it in and an hour later I picked it up without a mention of anything. So unless u have a real **** having a really bad day I don't think it is anything to worry about. I posted this same topic a week ago and there were a few people who said they already had their rooted evos serviced for cracked screens no problem.

Sent from my rooted HTC EVO using the xda app!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Just take it to Sprint and get it fixed. Rooting only matters if its a software or radio issue. I just got my wife's screen replaced last week at a Sprint store and they didn't care at all. In fact the tech asked me where he could find the boot animation I was using.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
So which boot animation are you using lol!? :D

Also, thanks for the info guys. I think it rocks that Sprints finally doing something right and replacing the screens for free. I was careful as HELL with my phone since launch but the rubber case didn't protect is from concrete and ice.

Frankly I'm surprised at how easy it broke. The outer screen is 100% fine. Not a scratch on it but the glass part under the top part is spider webbed all over the place. Funny black, white and some rainbow colors.

Do they make any cases that clip on that COVER the screen though?

Although, I guess if they are not fixing these for free because as the Sprint store manager put it, SO MANY are breaking, maybe I shouldn't even worry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
So another question..... Do they use completely new screens or referb broken ones with just the parts needed? Hoping that bright white burn spot I have from the CPU is gone.

Anyway I'm on my way back now to pick up my phone. They told me about two hours if they had the parts but they wouldn't know til they opened it.

I said well, it's a Novatech and the tech at the other store said you had plenty of them on hand, it's the Novatech screens on hand. They were like well until we open it, we won't know which one it is. I repeated, its the Novatech, I'm sure.

They acted like they didn't believe me or that I might have been mistaken. I hate when they treat people like they are stupid.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
Isn't there more then one type of novatch though?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Its actually a factor of which ribbon cable your screen has, there are 3 different ribbon cables on the Evo screens of varying widths. They need to check to see which cable your Evo takes before they know if they have the replacement screen for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryank930:
They're gonna replace your screen with "harvested parts". Don't leave the store if the screen isn't perfect.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYCguy2020:
that's true.i had my screen replaced(thin ribbon HW 003 epson)a while ago.they replaced it with a brand new screen and i only paid $35 because i didnt have TEP.the whole process took about 30 mins.

as for unrooting your phone,it all depends on the particualr employee/tech that handles your case...most techs are really cool and won't say a thing,but some are real a-holes.it's a risk.mine was real cool and he even told me how lucky i am 'cause some other tech might have reported my phone and have my warranty voided.I nervously chuckled and thanked him...i also gave him $20 in his hand as a tip for being cool and also for doing a good job replacing the screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
They replaced my screen with a WHOLE new unit. The WHOLE front of the phone was replaced, not just the broken screen.

The unit still had the protective film over the screen, the buttons etc. No bright white CPU mark, whoo hoo! Well for now anyway! :D

I asked, the tech confirmed the parts were brand new.

They even gave me the whole front back because it had my Zagg screen protector on it. They also gave me the info to get it replaced free, which I already knew how to do but that was cool they just gave me the whole front back rather then to peel it off.

So um, the only thing that broke apparently was the inner screen. The one that displays the picture. Any of the other parts I have left worth eBaying? I have the WHOLE front of the phone and there is not a scratch on it due to the Zagg protector.

I dropped my cyanogen 7 phone over the weekend. Scratched the screen up pretty good. I told the store upfront that I had rooted. The corprate store I went to replaced my screen NQA. They told me as long as its not a software issue they would help me. Yes, it can be done O:-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocmatic:
So, a friend of mine broke their screen last night and they took it in to get it replaced, not sure if that tech was just being a **** but he said that the policy has been changed as of today. If screen crack is bigger than one inch it has to be replaced via insurance. SMH
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryank930:
Sounds like some BS to me...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocmatic:
That's what I said...calling a different store. I changed mine about a month ago with no issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYCguy2020:
+1 mine had cracks running the entire length of the screen from top to bottom.

just try a different store.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
This past weekend was hell. I am also rooted with Fresh. I also had screen issues (dirt under the glass). Took it to the local store and they replaced my screen with one that was all scratched up and nicked on the edges. They will replace yours with something they have laying around. The guy also noticed that I was rooted and said that although the can work on physical issues with the phone, they cannot work with software-related issues. I called Sprint and demanded a replacement. Arrived today (haven't been home yet to check it out though, but I hear they're only sending out new units due to shortages). Now I have to unroot my current phone before sending it back and re-root the new one. =/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
That's the price you pay for rooting, man. Sure, it's a hassle sometimes, but keep in mind that the majority of the time you're using the system you want to use. I think it balances out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lytbrte:
i just fell and cracked my phone... do you have insurance? because i took my phone in and they just replaced the screen in two hours for free... i have cm7 rom on my phone and they didnt even notice it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualSportDad:
i want to ditch my otterbox case so i went into a sprint repair center yesterday and asked about cracked screens. the lady there told me as well that if the crack was over a certain size that that it would have to go through insurance.

i'm assuming that if a insurance claim is filed that i'd have to pay the $100 deductible as well correct? chances are if a screen cracks it's going to shatter right?

seems to me like sprint is going back on what they said they would do.

i emailed sprint today and this is what their response was:

Simply take your equipment to a Sprint Retail Store or Authorized

Service Center. Repair technicians will determine if you are eligible

for repair or replacement. If your equipment has liquid damage, is in

pieces, or damaged beyond repair, you will have to file a claim or

purchase a new device.

Thank you for choosing Sprint. We appreciate your business.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtracerbullet:
I went to 2 corporate repair stores and 1 affiliate repair store and they told me the same thing.

The worst part is there was the hairline crack that "spidered" out to the top of the phone from the crack center, which was under 1 inch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtracerbullet:
How did you get the replacement? Which dept did you speak with? I spoke with tech support and retentions. Both depts said I had to go through Asurion.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javagreen:
What method did you use to root? What firmware were you on?

Maybe hook it up to your PC and try repair via SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vspeedx:
i tried to repair it using sony ericsson and it's not working..i used super click root
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
Just download flashtools 0.26 and download a copy of the latest 2.1 firmware.

reflash your firmware with the cable.

Then start again what you want to do.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
Can you go to flash mode?

If you can, repair with SEUS or use flashtool - simple.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyruschau:
my phone is ok now

i downloaded .435 rom for flashtool (i think that is unroot)

remove the battery, hold the back button, turn on flashtool in computer, plug usb to phone,

then plug the battery.....

click "flash" on the flashtool, and i keep holding the back button....

finally, i can flash to .435 now

my x10 reborn !!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

-------------------------------

mine is also the same situation

When i tried to use xrecovery to flash from 2.2 beta3 to new.435 rom,

my phone fell down from the sofa to the floor (about 20cm)......

my phone turned off =0=

after that my x10 keeps restart, stuck at "Sony Ericsson",

I cannot get into xrecovery anymore and cannot use the flashtool becasue it requires the usb debugging......:(

can anybody help!!!???

THX!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
You tried this method?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyruschau:
at first, i want to use this method to flash from 2.2 beta3 to .435

but i failed because my phone suddenly fell down.

and i cannot get into xrecovery anymore, so i give up this method.

therefore i downloaded a .435 rom for flashtool from here (which is a .ftf file)

remove battery

press "back", plug USB cable, plug battery,

click "flash" on computer

and start flashing.......
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
I made that xRecovery option and works perfectly :rolleyes:

Both options are good. ;)

Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
Just boot into recovery using hboot and flash there, same with making backups. That's the easiest and most secure means at this time.

[HTC Aria General] frenchie007:
what are the differences between the liberated rom and cm 7 nighties? what are the advantages of the two and which do you prefer?
[HTC Aria General] Noz85:
One is froyo and the other is gingerbread. I prefer CM7 I guess I got use to the awesomeness that is the CM projects.
[HTC Aria General] kazerak2:
I prefer liberated FR0008. I tried 6.1 and 7, however, I missed the HTC widgets that those two lacked. Also the cyanogen mod ROMs were laggy on my phone, just slightly but noticeable.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
liberated also has sense and CM does not. LPP has most of the sense widgets though. I prefer CM7 by far over liberated. You just have to decide if you want sense or not. I couldn't stand the sense ui so I tried cm several months ago and never looked back.
[HTC Aria General] frenchie007:
whats so bad about sense ui?
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
it's a personal preference...if you want android for what it truly is, go with one of the CM builds...if you want android for what HTC cosmetically made it with their sense ui (i.e. pretty widgets and programs and this and that) then go with one of the liberated roms. There's no reason your phone should be laggy on any of the ROMs to be honest, so don't mind what that dude said about it being laggy. If it seems so, overclock it slightly. CM7 now has a built in overclocking utility. Basically, if you want customizability to the max go with a CM build. If you want to be restrained by HTC and what they offer, go with one of the liberated builds. As I said in the beginning of my post, it's personal preference.
[HTC Aria General] frenchie007:
oh thats awesome. i actually have been using cm7 and was just curios what other people prefered. im sticking with cm7 too. thanks for letting me know about the built in overclock, thats quite helpful since i had been using setcpu instead. works great but can you explain what the first three presets are: interactive, conservative, and userpace? i understand the next three but not those ones
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
I personally cannot but I'm sure someone can.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I know conservative just scales up a little less aggressively. Not sure about the other two you listed though. Setcpu had a description for all the different governors types though.
[HTC Aria General] drblack2013:
I thought they both run FROYO, but CM7 runs a Gingerbread Theme.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
The OP asked specifically about CM 7 nightly (AOSP 2.3 Gingerbread) vs. Liberated . CM 7 is currently a Gingerbread 2.3 development project while CM 6.1.1 is the official Froyo 2.2 AOSP project release. Liberated FR series is also Froyo 2.2, but it has HTC Sense instead of the native Android interface.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
No...CM7 is built from the 2.3 source. What brswattts released for CM6 was THEME, CM7 is AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) 2.3.

[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
So the current iterations of cwm seem to have trouble working reliably with the newer froyo ROMs, and koush's recovery (although seeming to work correctly) is quite broken. So......

please find below a new recovery package that should work for any ROM for the fascinate, mesmerize, or showcase.

This is a "red" cwm recovery, and it will work with both voodoo and non-voodoo installations.

cwm-recovery-ALL.zip can be flashed via any cwm recovery.

if you are using odin, then use the cwm-recovery-ALL odin (.tar) package.

updated 3/29 - thanks to GizmoDroid for help with fixing fix_permissions script and root permissions typo that screwed up nandroid restores

updated 3/30 - fixed 'umount' typo - actually *fixed* fix_permissions this time - fixed odin/heimdall recovery attachment
[Fascinate Android Development] Prince135:
Thanks, I just installed it. I'd rather not have a broken clockwork mod.
[Fascinate Android Development] jackmei2:
thanks, will give this a try!

ok, so I flashed this in the old cwm and it does come up red, but also says CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery, is that right?
[Fascinate Android Development] renf:
In what ways is the old cm broken with froyo? I haven't noticed any problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] FDro:
Thanks! Good to have a fully working recovery again.
[Fascinate Android Development] superchunkwii:
Yeah, I'd like to 2nd this question. I have DL30 and CW worked for me in setting that up. Granted, I haven't tried anything else after that, but I'd like to know too.
[Fascinate Android Development] CrushD:
Well I've had weird things happen when flashing stuff (I was using the "new-cwm.zip") , seemed like data being written where it shouldn't be? Just flashing theme files or own stuff I want to add, and I've had the following stuff happen:

Nuked my radio, had an unknown baseband and calls would never work, fortunately Radio Odin fixed it.

Had some /data apps disappear. Had some /data/data disappear. On reboot had Setup Wizard pop-up, even though I still had my Google account registered.

Hoping this new clockwork is completely safe. I suspected that clockwork was responsible for my weird happenings, so data-wiped and haven't flashed anything, so far fine functioning.
[Fascinate Android Development] hbc.ciccone:
Using this is it easy to flash back to a prior set up, for me it would be back to dj05 w superdark and voodoo5?

Ive been holding off on froyo bc I need wireless tether, preferably unreported tether. But I really want to play around and see what the fuss is about. Ive downloaded every dl30 rom, havent installed one fearing I cant go back easily
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
/data on the fascinate is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

koush's recovery mounts /data as mmcblk0p2 (THIS IS OUR /DATA/FOTA. THAT'S BAAADDD)

under most circumstances this does not matter , because recovery.rc mounts data CORRECTLY before cwm gets to it, but there are circumstances where /data can be unmounted and then remounted, in which case cwm is gonna mount mmcblk0p2. If things get written there, at best you've got a **** load of FC's to deal with. At worst, a dead radio.

I've pointed this out to koush before, but was met with a "half-response", and to date it not been addressed (except for the recoveries that I've posted)
[Fascinate Android Development] PJnc284:
installed. When I go to do a backup, it gives the messages below. Backup seems to run fine though
[Fascinate Android Development] vlucchetti:
Thanks, jt.

Copied to sdcard, booted into recovery, ran the program, keep coming back to green, no red.

ETA: Interesting. If I go to recovery from ROM mgr and try to load from sdcard, it does nothing, but if (while in ROM Mgr) I load from SDcard, it works. Got the blue screen, ran update, red appeared.

I likewise get the error message mentioned previously, but got it at install. Backup seemed to ahve run fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] Krustys_:

[Fascinate Android Development] beenz:
Yes, that is correct. It says in the OP. But it may have been edited since the time you posted and my response, so I'll let it slide :)
[Fascinate Android Development] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
thank you JT!!!!! I thought it was just me, Ive had to start over again with my data about 6 times now becuase of Clockwork either not restoring my backups or my phone freaking out once I restored the backup. Thanks again!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] jackmei2:
haha thanks... but he said it will be red and that it is not for voodoo, so that's what I wanted to double check since it does have the voodoo menus and all.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Lets see:

Broken mass storage function.

Broken data mounting function.

Couldn't wipe properly because of the above.
[Fascinate Android Development] nmyeti:
The couldn't wipe properly bit me once already. Glad to have a proper recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Thanks very much for addressing this issue.

For a while, I felt like a fresh n00blet, wondering what I was doing wrong. I tried flashing versions of supposedly compatible cwm's in different ways, always coming to the mounting errors.

Other than the errors from the missing graphics, this one works error free.
[Fascinate Android Development] stayin100:
Scared to mess with this since i haven't experienced any problems with my current cwm stuff from pre dl09... Might just go ahead and do this tomorrow. For some reason I feel more comfortable using the odin method, so I can do all this over my Super Clean 1.0 with Neon GT theme and not have to do any data wiping or anything first?
[Fascinate Android Development] Powell730:
So this makes no sense and I think its a weird coincident but as soon as I flashed this my beta version of swype started the force close loop..

EDIT: so weird, I had to uninstall the installer and swype itself using titanium backup and then download the installer and install again (had to do it all twice). Seems to be working again now tho..

Superclean 0.7.. aka Froyo.. Thanks devs!

[Fascinate Android Development] xHoLyx:
Thx JT, gonna flash it now.
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
Just wanted to point out that there is a typo in the recovery, under mounts and storage. If you mount dbdata, you can see that it then says "umount", instead of "unmount".
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
Isn't this essentially linux, so... shouldn't "umount" (sans 'n') be the correct command? Or is it different in Android?
