Well I went to the sprint store to try to get my chipped chrome and keyboard fixed (I don't have insurance). All they told me was it would be $120 to fix the keyboard and then they gave me this screen and said they didn't want to break my tp so I could try to fix it myself. Of course I don't want to break my phone so I am just gonna try to sell this screen on ebay. My question is what should I call it? I've searched everywhere but the only thing I found was "screen replacement" or "digitizer" but nothing with the chrome.

Not saying your lying but the Sprint store will never give you device parts and tell you to fix it yourself.

Well that's what happened, I found it a little odd myself. I went in, asked if they could fix the chrome (didn't mention kb until after), the guy went to the back room and came out with this screen saying they didn't want to attempt to fix it cus they might break it and would need to replace the whole phone. Then he gave me the screen and said I could give it a shot if I wanted. I did sprint webchat yesterday and she said I should go back to the store and ask them again. She said they noted my acct and it should be fixed cus its a known issue but the guy at the sprint store didn't even look my acct up. I am gonna try again tonight and see what happens.
Anyways what should I call this?
they probably did that because you dont have insurance.
just call it touch screen with chrome bezel and buttons or something .. dont know if there are correct "names" for it
you'll need to disassemble the phone and disassemble the the back of the "half phone they gave you. The ribbon cable is torn, so you will need to use the one from your first device. Use the two to make one good one. Unfortunately, the keyboard is a whole different ball game.
I am trying to put my Optimus S into emergency mode by following these instructions here: http://cheapcellunlockedphones.com/how-to-fix-a-bricked-lg-optimus-s/
I can not get it into e-mode for nothing. All I get is a black screen. Is there something I am missing?
Nevermind, I got it.
hm. well heres a try
it appears i cannot post to where this is most related...bricked p500h's optimus ones. phone number 3. koodo shall hate me but i will lie again and just say no turn on if noone has a solution. everytime its the update-openoptimus as the culprit, the flash after as per instructions with baseband(force close always occurs and thats the next step) fails and phone goes dead. no life. bricked. whats rather saddening is all the hundreds of posts i read here about people calling their phones bricked when they are in fastboot or emergency mode. hell life would be nice...little note to people. fastboot or emergency mode is NOT a bricked phone. phone going dead during a kdz flash and fail with NO SIGN OF LIFE afterwards is a bricked phone. im going to cry if i see someone else say. i haz yellow screen. ARRGH I BRICKED MY PHONE!!~! HAAALP OH YE WIZARDS OF XDA!!!
now..is there some trick to give this guy power aside from a charged battery and plug via ac or usb...some hidden little nub in this phone to hella reset the freakin thing? im not confident koodo gonna send another. although i will say i dont want a lg ill pay for an upgrade above n beyond. i just would prefer to make this work and say to hell with ciaoux (think thats how the young fella spells it) pretty rom...it worked the first time and thats why i want it its nice i liked it then phone bricked somehow. gone through two more tryin to get there. there has to be a way to give these phones some power tho...has to be! pls xda gurus: this is my first post and ive waited awhile for it. how to save p500h no boot no post.
cheers,.
proud champion of actual phone bricking.

No. Just JTAG. Forget it, it costs more than a PCB change or even more than a brand new phone.
lol ill try my luck, 3rd replacement(if i was honest with them none of em woulda been outright replaced, but hey i was stupid enough to brick it 3 times, not gonna be so stupid to tell the truth what i did!) tomorrow am i call and say ***k lg! gimme a nexus s! 16gb internal. really ive fought gettin the one rom with 4gb sd-ext for internal memory, non issue if i persuade them with my charm. this is what i shall do. next up...lookup what jtagging is. ive meant to. guess now i will. thinkin without a thought its jtag=tagged for garbage. yanno when they take them in and theres no power. they have no real proof, not the provider i doubt. only on amce lg gets it they know whats was done..if that. fill me in if im wrong. im quite good at gettin **** for free from telus/shaw/any of them like outfits.
JTAG is a device that will flash the dead phone with a working firmware. You need to dismantle the phone and connect the JTAG to a connector on PCB. Yeah, Google it, but as said, expensive and totally not worth it unless you are doing the stuff for living.
totally not worth it..as in how much can these devices be. and how much or where would they maybe be found. i get **** cheaper then most ppl in most cases if the right places are sought out....imma server guy to be honest but lately ive had a pile of this phone stuff start piling up. ppl dont wanna pay much but somethin can be made for sure so maybe, thanks very much for the info i be keepin my ears to the ground! my buddy is tryin to figure the formulas used for imei > puk and imei > unlock. thatd be some handy info to have too. i got this one real nice arc.....nice. boneheads tried random net unlock codes like 200 times before i seen it. shoulda asked about that before i shelled out $5 for a code i had in 2 hrs. lol guess this isnt the place for this discussion tho....
koodos sendin another. easy enough. now. wtf does this rom upgrade to ciaoux's update-openoptimus keep pooching my phones for though. 3 tries.. 3 bricks, never on the actual rom upgrade...but afterwards always force close so i run fix permissions in recovery, followed by the v20g_00 baseband upgrade........this is where it fails everytime. i should note, in the past the lge virtual modem has been present but disabled as required, but not lately. its now always lge android usb modem....i dont think i disabled that guy.....maybe the problem? really leary about running any kdz or lpdm updater now for sure. to call in a 4th time in two weeks with a dead phone my provider is gonna sorta maybe start askin questions......im pretty sure. lol goddam i needa large capacity phone, i haz a 20tb server but only a 512mb capaacity droid phone. messed. ****.
yesterdayI tried to update my phone While doing the update the phone went to Emergency mode(Yellow Screen) and just hanged there. After waiting for an hour, I have plugged out the cable and tried to switch of the phone. the phone didn't switch off. I have taken out the battery and plugged it back in.
After this, the phone is not switching on at all. No display...not powering on.
I have seen some discussions suggesting to press 'Volume up' 'enter key' and power key while plugging in usb cable. Nothing seems to be working. Even when I connect the charger, it is not switching on. It used get little bit of heat when it was charging when it worked. But, no heat (or) no indication of charging at all now.
Could you please suggest what could be the issue how do I solve this the LG guys wont replace my phone cz i rooted it installed CM7 on it
(NOTE : I live in INDIA )
are you able to boot into emergency mode
long press (volup+back+power) all 3 buttons simulataneously.
Are you able to see yellow screen(emergency mode) after pressing this .

Your phone is bricked, and as far as I know it cant be fixed without taking it to a service center. But dont give up hope, since it doesn't even power on, there is no way they can find that you rooted or installed CM7. Trust me, the same thing happened to me once, and they fixed my phone for free. Just tell them phone isn't turning on. If they press for more details, tell them you tried to update through PC suite. Whatever happens dont mention about rooting or installing a custom ROM.
To avoid this happening again, dont pull out the battery while in emergency mode. Thats what bricked your phone.
Thank you for responding to my thread
emergency mode not opening tried all key combi
The LG guys fixed it for free ?? How do they do that if some 1 knows please post about it if any 1 from Lg technical department
You not try using KDZ Manager?, this tool is using for unbrick you Phone, search you the specific ".kdz" for you country or carrier and see search the tutorial on google i use the tool for udapte to 2.2.2 to 2.3.3 on my P500

They will get it fixed for free,but believe me lg service centre is worse.So dnt expect your phone atleast 10 days after u give it to service centre.
With all due respect, I would like to suggest that doing a simple search on xda would have told you that your phone is BRICKED. Many others have bricked their phones before you

Phone dead
Ok i gave my phone to LG service centre for replacement and that girl said to their other repair men that it will go for D.O. ( any one know is that DO ?)
The receptionist said it will take 15 days or more for my replacement
and on the Job sheet she wrote PHONE DEAD
I came across videos and gog's searches and found that dead phone can be resurrected using devices like :
1- RIFF box
2- ORT JTAG
3-Medusa BOX
and few other JTAG devices
I saw a vid on youtube where a guy resurrects dead samsung galaxy phone using 3 resistors in series conncetion and puting its both ends on the usb port of the mobile
I went to local electronic shop and no f**kin one had a transistor they said no no no to me
n i finally went to LG care game them the phone n said I want replacement.
( Oh god india is so horrible Even the LG care did have one of those Boxes to resurrect my phone )
Is it possible that they might refuse to replace the phone if they're unable to repair it?? just asking . I bought my phone 1 week back just 1 week = 7 days
On diwali ( it was my diwala actually )
i completely understand ur situation.. ( i bricked my phone while trying to play around with KDZ , on 20th oct)
however,I got my phone back from the service center yesterday. ( it took them jus 2 days to replace the pcb)
So don't worry, they'll replace the Pcb for you..and if your phone is in the warranty period, u won't have to pay for anything!!

Optimus One
Mik's Cyanogenmod 6.5.8
24 days my phone not back yet QQ
service center guys said my phone has been accepted for replacement and they will send it . that service center guy said this to me in sucha way that i felt like they're go'nna take more days
I'm pissed almost 1 month no phone
any way i can get back at them ?? please suggest
we are on the same boat..... i have tried to update via kdz tool when i saw "V20C"... firmware.... and exactly same incident happend to me..... n now my phone is in the service center for 20+ days...... dont know when will i get... it...
i think flashing "V20C" via KDZ tool is very risky...
LG after sales in india suck man.....
i got my phone today.... they replaced its PCB free of cost..... my phone was once exposed to water... and the battery white bar turned red... and tey detected it ten also they replaced it for free.. hufff it took almost 1 month..... damn slow guys...
My phone was also bricked when i tried to update via KDZ updater.I handed over the phone to the LG service center and they replaced the PCB and got it back within 10 days.
I really dunno why the hell they changed the PCB after all the problem was with the RAW boot image.I came across ORT/JTAG stuffs to repair dead boot phones but i dunno how far it works...
now its more than 1 month and they service center guys keep saying me that your phone is in warehouse and you will get your phone shortly and they kep saying that after 4-5 days you ll get your phoen when ever i reach them .
last saturday i went to them and lashed about it . dunno for how llong i can keep my head cool my dad says get to consumer court if they dont give your phone by this month ( 2 months )
i'm very unhappy with their service
they took my whole package i.e. the phone the box and all the accessories and said that after depositing these you will get your mobile phone dispatched

you should talk to the service manager of your area.... in my case the service center refused to change the pcb but when i talked to service manager of my area they repaired my phone within 2 days...... get the no. from lg website by emailing them....
The same happened to my phone: hard brick, no signal of life, and they replaced the PCB, free of charge. But it took more than one month. So, be patient.
the bottom 2 mm of my sprint evo 3d is not working right. by that, i mean that its sorta uncalibrated. my phone is rooted and it was normal until yesterday. now, if i put my finger on the bottom to mms of the screen then it claims it to be higher that it is.
for example, the dev options gives me a screen pointer overlay option and if i have my phone on the very bottom possible it says its at 888.5 on the Y. my finger trace is followed but higher.
thats a really bad explanation so ill try using a picture from paint
http://imgur.com/lAR48
any questions (i know i did i bad job of explaining it, but its hard to explain.. for me atleast) just ask..
thanks,
colin
That is the most funny drawing I've ever seen. LOL!!!! However, must give you some points for the try. lol *gives you a Thanks point for making me laugh*
haha thanks
my photoshop trial ended a month ago so im making due on paint for this
but i think im just gunna take it in to sprint... i already flashed an ruu and unrooted and got s-on... on the bright-side hopefully ill get a new phone!
same thing happened to my phone. took it to a sprint repair store they told me to come bak in 2 hrs i did and they replaced my phone with a refurb. unfortunatly my refurb is also borked and will restart whenever i connect to wifi. anyways best of luck to u =)
uh oh. i hope i dont get one of those... i never turn wifi off! :O
i plan on re-rooting or rooting whatever phone i get, so hope its not messed up and is in good condition...
you think theyll give me a refurbed white one if i ask?
They originally told me that they didn't have any refurbs at the store and would have to order one but theymagically found one...
I called sprint and complained and they helped me out with a loop hole to get a new phone a year ahead of time and I got the s3. I wasn't dealing with any more crap phones from them even tho they say they r HTC certified

Maybe the digitizer? If it's under warranty, take it to sprint. If not, you can get one on eBay not to pricey.

Hello guys im a long time lurker here, but this is my first time posting.. sadly for some reason my xt910 went down on me today, the screen cracked just by having it in my pants, and it seems the lcd is broken and the touch interface too.. im goint to take it to my provider for a warranty but since they most surely will wipe it off clean when they replace the screen, i wanted to backup my data.. notes, pictures etc.. i have everything saved in my phone memory ( the rest is on my sd, safe and sound).. the thing is... how do i access the data on my phone with the screen like that? i cant access through my PC because i cant unlock the screen..
any ideas? please help...
Try plugging it into your PC and see if the drive shows up. Should give you access. Sorry if you've already tried this.
Pardon my ignorance. I didn't read the last line.

I wonder if tere is a way maybe through motocast? i dunno..
Just an ideo,but how about telling them about that or leaving a sticky note on your phone ??

Well i just came back from my Provider offices aaand... they will let me know in 7 days if and how theyll fix it and if i approve by then they will wipe all the info.. i tried to tell them not to.. but its useless, narrow minded people are all around here in Mexico..
So i have those 7 days to figure out a way.. and try to get everything back.. still from the estimate amount they told me i will have to pay (300 dlls) for the screen replacement i doubt i will go on with it.. for less than that i can get another high end phone.. and i guess ill wait until the screen replacement for this one drops to an affordable 100 dlls..
Ive seen in alibaba.com that they have it for 100 dlls now.. but im not sure.. have you guys ever tried using that site?
