Recent Phone Repairs

     As many of you may not be aware, I broke my glass digitizer of my phone :( so sad. and then while replacing the glass, broke the LCD screen. Here are some pictures of how badly it broke, as well as me fixing it. I cannot thank youtube enough for their help in not only repairing the digitzer and LCD screen, but also for helping me root my phone. Although Apple may be "user friendly" they are far less fun to hack open and make your own. So I don't need Sprint's warranty, or their help fixing my screen when its broken.
Broken Screen



Beginning deconstruction process

Battery Out

Aaron showing that I am actually not doing this by myself...Praise God for YouTube

Unboxing new glass

Taking out Memory Card







All of these are unscrewing the back and taking off back frame of phone.


And the beautiful motherboard of the HTC EVO 4G

Detaching ribbon cables




Motherboard fully Separated

beginning of screen separation, which was considerably difficult for how broken it is


Without the scotch tape holding it together...looks pretty sad right?




SCREEN IS FREE!

Sadly in the process I damaged the LCD screen underneath...bummer

Yeah...that screen isn't supposed to come off...you live and learn right?

Without pictures but there is the new LCD screen and the new glass with a new screen protector from Zagg (highly recommend) This is also showing me updating the ROM on my phone. Cyanogenmod 7 on HTC EVO 4g. Only ROM to use with any rooted android device
