Can you get any piece lifted? If so, try wd40 on a qtip under it. It may be tedious, but sounds like you're at that point anyway.

Oh my that sucks. Not even a razor blade can lift just a corner? I really don't know what else you could do.
are you absolutely sure there's even one on there? googling that protector it looks to be a complete coverage type, so maybe you're mistaking that it's still on there? there's no way that its welded onto your phone; if a razor blade wont get it nothing will
Well i finally managed to get it off after a few hours of messing with it. Don't know why it was stuck on there so well but its off now so that's all that matters.
How did you manage that? I have the same prob. And i even have 2 Screen protectors on my phone
Thanks

Ok my atrix just slid off my leg and hit the concrete now the screen is busted its unlocked and rooted but I still have insurance on it
The screen is only cracked on the lower leftside along the home buttons and stops before the search button still works ok just
Wondering if its better for me to replace the screen myself or take my chances and send it in on insureance
Im running cm7 Gina reflash something close to stock so it looks stock EXept for the unlocked on the 1rst screen
Hey,
Is everything still working on it? Only thing is the cracked screen? Then follow this:
EZ FIX:
1. Use Fruit Cakes or Pudding to go back to stock build.
2. Find your nearest At&t Device Support Center. (Don't worry the Atrix is always in stock there, scroll to the bottom of the page where it says step 3, find your state, a pdf will open with a list of DSC's in that state...)
3. Take it there and get it replaced!
Yes I'm on AT&T AND every thing still works fine just that its cracked down by the 4 little squares over past the home button but they all still work just looks ugly now problem is its unlocked and rooted if I take it in I might get some greef about that stuff from at&t
But I gess that's what all the warnings were about

Don't look all glum.... You can flash your phone back to stock and re-lock it again, it'll be like you never unlocked or flashed it. Search it up, there's a guide out there!
Ok cool lol yep I'm pretty bummed that the gorrilaz in the glass lost the battle lol i found out that i can get a replacement touch screen cheeper than what at&t is gona charge me so ima going that route

No just suggesting to proof read, instead of making yourself look like the idiot. Little tip for ya! And good luck with the phone. Next time get a Otterbox case. Have been using them for years and they have saved my phones plenty of times. Even dropped a iPhone from 15 feet onto concrete and it was perfectly fine.
soke it in water and claim you dropped it in a puddle on a rainy day or something to that effect, now screen is broke and it will not turn on......problem solved.

He explained it pretty well, plus half the people here have horrible spelling and grammar! And yes the Otterbox case is a phone-saver! When I went with my cousin while she was getting her iPhone 4, the salesman threw his iPhone 4 across the store to get them to buy an Otterbox case!
Does anyone know where to get a replacement bezel? I bought my phone used and it has some nicks and scratches on the bezel. I think I have a mild form of OCD and it drives me insane to see scratches on it. Also what size Torx wrench would I need to take this thing apart? All input appreciated!
The bezel, as in the piece attacked to the screen, or the plastic ring that's slightly higher around it?
The glass piece is about 40~ bucks, the plastic? I've had a quick look on the Google and found nothing, sorry dude.
I am pretty sure it is the plastic around the glass screen. Mine is loose in one of the corners and it is making me upset. I would love to know where to get a new one, but for now, I just have a case on it to make sure it all stays together
My best suggestion would be to just repaint yours for now.
Call verizon if your having audio issues hint hint...I know someone who bought a use phone and it had a few things wrong so they sent them a refurbished one,these phones have a one year manufacture warranty it doesnt matter that you got it used they dont know that.

Hmm, sounds like it would work, but I don't know if I would really want to do that... I might if a replacement bezel is out of the picture.
I know it will work,I bought a used thunder bolt it wouldnt mount to my pc called and told them about they never asked if i bought it used or anything.My friend had the same issues as yourself but i think they may have told them something else was wrong with it and they sent a refurb to them,its up to you but they just send them back and get refunded...
Hmm, the buzzing behind my music is a legitimate enough reason to ask Verizon for a new one. I might go this weekend and see if they will replace it.
You might want to call in they dont have refurbs in store most of the time they overnight them to you.

I bet if I complain about the build quality of the phone and how I'm not happy with it and maybe threaten not to come back when my contract is up they would give it to me I do still love this phone though, so if they will just replace it I will be happy.

Hi, great video and great timing, my screen cracked yesterday after a "screen first landing from my bed". I already ordered a replacement one and your video gave me great hints on how to dismantle it, however I'm still wondering if anything else is needed to put it back together with the new one. Does the screen comes with some kind of glue on the sides? Any tape that I need to take in consideration? or it should just snap back in place?
Thanks for doing this tutorial and I would appreciate anyone who can help me with these questions.

I'm aware that they have them on Ebay, dozens of them, but every one that I have seen bought has a screwed up X-axis.
When you install yours make sure to test it BEFORE you take it down.

I think he means to test it before you permanently mount it.
There doesn't seem to be any way to remove a cracked digitizer from the mouning bezel without destroying it. Even though your glass may currently be cracked, I'm sure it still works at least. If you remove (and destoy) your digitizer glass, you won't want to discover that your replacement has the left and right axis reversed.
Disconnect the ribbon cable for existing (cracked) digizer glass. Connect the new digitizer glass. Boot your prime. Make certain that the new glass is the right model and the left/right is correct.
Even easier than that. Compare the rev numbers of the replacment digizier and the existing one. If they are different revs, you'll be hosed.
I've begin to notice my screen isn't quite calibrated properly, like when i use swype, the line trail is almost always wonky and it doesnt get the word I intended of course.
Also another clear indication for me was when i tried to draw, and it wouldnt draw a straight line lol.
I'm not to fussed if it doesnt get resolved as it's only a temp phone but would still love to get some insight into the problem.
That would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance

CM7 and yeah tried google but to no avail and i saw a post here but it was to do with a faulty replacement screen...
If you take at the screen shot each diagonal line was drawn straight (or as straight as possible) and each kink and line which is radiating away from a diagonal line came just by it self :S
and this was drawn with no special brush, just a pencil tool. Mid boggling
online photo sharing
Is this happening on other ROMs too? Have you tried to reflash the ROM? It could be that there was a small flashing error because my screen is working good. If this isn't helping, I don't know...

That's the piece! However if it's attached to the bezel shouldn't the white screen/LCD already have it in place?
center part
Some places call it a Midframe, other places call it a Bezel , if you want your DNA to be completely white you will need this. The part above the speaker is attached to the midframe housing. Also, look at your phone, inbetween the Glass and the Back cover the Bezel shows thru. If you do not get this, in between the back cover and the glass will be black.

OMG two more, it helps to know what your searching for I suppose;

I'll give it a go. Whenever I take something apart I tend to take photos of the details to give it the best chance of going back together.
Looking for the best place to order the parts. I'll be ordering this weekend, hopefully, then 14 days from China more than likely.
Yeah hopefully... I have waited 2 months for an mhl cable from China once and have told myself that I will never again (at least from Amazon) order from China

I can't wait to see your results. I'm a bit afraid to pry open this phone as it's so well held together and without the glue / gaskets I fear I'll never quite get it back together the same. DNAs are pretty rare out there, and white DNA would be awesome.
Ya I don't think HTC can even repair this phone properly. I've had two replacements now and they are refurbs as Verizon is cheap. As I press around the sides and the back the phone crackles a bit, as if popping something into place. This never stops though. Kinda irritating, at least for me.

These sellers are also HORRIBLE at answering email. The only one I found who was helpful, before I knew, white was doable, only sells the black screen.
I'll get the tutorial up but it's just taking time. After taking some incredibly awesome photos with the DNA recently and with 4.3 coming I don't see a need to change devices.

besides Dev support the Note2 had nothing better than the DNA. My wife has one, I used it a week before sending it back for replacement. The screen isn't as sharp. The Exynos is slower, the camera isn't as good.
You're better off with the DNA.
You should post some pics of the end result. It would be very interesting to see what it will look like in the end.
Also, what is the total price of all the replacement parts? I might even be interested in making to transformation to my Dna as well.

F*** Me. I broke my new glass. Dang it. Well I need to get more white parts anyhow. Thinking about this more, I realized I haven't seen any white SIM trays or white usb covers. SIM tray needs to be x920e/DNA but I suppose the usb cover could be any butterfly variant. Have you seen these two parts around on white(or anything but black) ?

All the parts, except screen adhesive, can be bought from parts4repair.com and the total price of about $155 seems inline with others.
@thehoovie I doubt we'll see a white sim tray for the reason you mentioned.
Not finding a white flap is a bit of a mystery though. I haven't found one.
