Does anyone have a service manual for the Jetstream ?
I wanted to take off the back cover and fix a large dent I got on it. I bought the 249.00 special on eBay. Other than that, the screen is perfect and the device works fine.
Now for some rooting and hacking !
I got two of those.lol.
There is a service manual on the internet but it doesn't tell you how to disassemble the JetStream; you won't find a guide like that anywhere.
I managed to open it but the battery is superglued to the back door aluminum plate and there are two rather frail cables that attach the battery to the motherboard and it uses a weird type of clip on connector that I haven't seen before; I didn't want to rip off that connector so I just put it back together and decided to live with the small dent in the back door. Get a nice cover and you won't even see it.
Moral of the story is....if it ain't broken don't try to fix it.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yep, I have to agree with the moral of the story. I thought if it was simply, I'd give it a go !
This will have to do til the next tablet. I'm loving it so far.

I accidentally stuff a microSD card into the SIM card slot. Would appreciate very much if you could describe what tools (e.g.,TORX #'s) and a brief instruction how to open up a Jetstream. Thanks very much in advance.
Are there any microphone controls in this piece? It seems that the when we do a voice chat the voice is not picked up. Any help is appreciated

Sorry for the late reply, haven't checked this site in a while. Honestly I opened mine up so long ago that I barely remember the location of the screws, but you should be able to take them off with a T-6. Once you remove them, use a thin, plastic, prying tool to separate the back plate from the front piece - triple check to make sure you got all the screws out. It takes some effort to do it but be very patient and gentle with it; don't forget the wire that runs from the battery to the metal rear piece once you open it.
If I still had my jetstream I'd make a video or a disassemble guide with pics but I sold mine a while ago; got tired of waiting around for an updated android ROM. Good luck.

Hey,
Does anyone know where i might be able to get a new one? I cracked the glass some time ago now and would like to get it replaced.
Also anyone know where i can obtain a new or refurbed battery cover as mine seems to be peeling.
Thanks,
Healy.
I got mine here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-HTC-HD2-BLACK-BACK-HOUSING-REPLACEMENT-/260655128116?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneFascias_JN&hash=item3cb0419e34
Delivery was quick and the parts seem to be the same as the orginal
Thats great! Did it take long to fit?
No, not too long maybe 30 mins or so.
You need some basic tools (T4 Torx driver and a case opener) you can buy what you need at the same place http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/REPAIR-OPENING-TOOLS-KIT-PDA-MOBILE-PHONES-6-PCS-/110575259857?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item19becc90d1
Then you'll need the first few minutes of video 1 here http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked It's pretty straight forward, basically you take out the battery remove 4 screws, pry off the old cover, fit the new one and then reverse the process!
Just be careful of static, if you're not feeling confident you should be able to find a shop tp do this for you.
Hope this helps

Thanks much! I think this needs to be a sticky!
hey...
just follow the service manual, the phone is *quite* easy to disassemble...
Just one remark : when yo get your old screen, check all the sticky plastics are present on the new one. if not, get the old ones and put them on the new.
I ordered a new screen some weeks ago, got it, and placed it. it didn't work, I think it was because two connectors touched a part of metal... after checking I saw the plastic present on old wasn't on new.... I think it was the problem......
(btw, the s740 screen is really not tough....)
Eh I performed a screen replacement on my fiance's Rose and using the manual helped, but it still wasn't easy in my opinion. All of that conducting tape wasn't the easiest to deal with, and putting it back down was no where as neat as it originally was. And the replacement screen is much darker than the original, although when off they look identical. One of her keys is a bit mushy now too, as the cable in the back was a bit longer than the original so it was folded up in the phone which I don't think helped things out.

I'm planning on replacing my screen and I've found this guide, which seems to be a good one: http://www.jmedved.com/2010/01/how-to-replace-broken-screen-on-htc
I've seen that guide in the past but it isn't really helpful...the best guide available is this one http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC_Rose_Service_Manual_A03_GENERIC.pdf
I removed the 4 screws underneath the rubber feet and was wondering what was the easiest way to open up the exterior shell without damaging anything. I understand, by reading the tear down thread, there are 3 clip on each side. Any detailed instruction on how you did it and what you used would be greatly appreciated.
Im currently trying to fix the headphone jack that only outputs through on channel and causes various programs to think that headphones are being plugged in and taken out. It also prevents any sound to escape the exterior speakers unless pressure is applied. Since I'm use my Gtab to take notes for school so I can't part with it for 3+ weeks.
Also does anyone know if the drivers for the hardware are natively in android or are they baked in by the manufacturer?
-Thanks, Oscar
I just opened mine up this weekend. I would suggest starting on the lower left corner as you hold the tablet in normal landscape orientation and work your way towards the dock port with a plastic pry tool...I used a spatula Continue carefully around and your all good.
When screws are removed, try pulling by hand in each coiner to see which one comes loose, when you got one, use a plastic opening tools and pry the back out slowly, if you don't have a tools, use a credit card (the expired one is better ... lol) will be fine.
Can't find the clips
Hi, I just cracked my power jack. I need to open mine.
I still can't find the three clips on each side.
Do you have a picture/vid or any site I can refer to?
Thanks
Any way to remove the rubber feet/caps without destroying them so they can be put back in? The power jack is going bad in my tab and I have a feeling I'm going to need to attempt repairs soon .

see my post above ,,, there are more than 3 clips
for me, the easiest way was to open the flap for the microusb slot (and full size USB port location) and pull apart from there. That point gave me the best leverage to get it apart and then I moved around the tablet to open it up.
good luck!
Use credit card or similar to run around the gap. This worked well from me

Will surely do it soon.
so it seems my battery just isn't what it use to be. phone seems to drop 50% with in hrs nothing running. tried many different roms. I'm figuring more then likely due to constantly being powered via charger. m-f 8hrs plus its in my car dock in my work truck with gps on. then by 9 10 pm at nght i place it on the home charger. weekends seem to be the only time its actually of the chargers. mine is a launch date lte. so wondering if anyone elses battery is shot. i have tep. but of course sprint wants to look at it. im still hboot 1.12. i really don't wanna relock s-on to have them look at it and tell me sorry not replacing. so i figured i would buy a oem replacement battery and have at it. i know i need a t5 and a phone pry. i have both. anyone done this yet with positive results?
Is was wondering the same thing. The last 30% of my battery just disappears. I'm thinking I'll be needing a replacement myself fairly soon

Now your making me worried. I watch a few diy I don't remember seeing them disconnect a antenna to remove the battery. Just a cap load of screws. All the ones for camera cover. Then under bottom cover. Then pop apart. Didn't see a antenna connect. So I will have to remember watch again. I got the Guitar pick style pry coming. New oem battery. And already have tweezers and t5

really? wow i just took the screws out. i didn't even use a pry tool. i used my nail to take bottom speaker cover off. as well as top plastic camera cover. then just worked it apart. the glue on the battery was the most pain part. i just kept even pressure and it peeled right up. replaced it used old yellow tape off old battery to hold connection down. and reassembled. all was good.

When reattaching the bottom piece, is it fully flush, or is it obvious it was replaced?
When someone at the sprint store worked on my original release day device (5 months old at the time), it was obvious the bottom cover had been removed.

ya same for me mine is flush. but when i removed it i did notice the glue tap kinda wanted to roll up. so i basically used my t5 and rolled it flat again before replacing that piece. i bet it bunched the glue tape and they didnt give a rats @$$. that just pops right off. you could fix it.

Yep. Kid got a hold of it before case arrived. Yes its my fault. Should have kept better eye on him. There are only two bids on YouTube. Neither one is great. I see on eBay they have LCD and digitizer and housing. From vids it looks easy. But would like to hear from anyone who has done it. Thanks
So sorry for the breakage. Here is a video that seems pretty good, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm6NwBvo6T0. The process doesn't seem to hard, to me. Good luck.

I recently replaced the LCD screen on a OnePlus One, other than the size, it was almost identical to the Mate2. couple parts in different spots but it had enough of those #%(@!)% rice grain size screws that I put them on a magnet, to make sure I didn't lose them.
Yes. That is one of the vids I was talking about. The other one was actually for a mate. Not mate 2. The thing I don't understand on this video is he never actually gets to the part of the screen replacement. So, I am presuming that with this phone as long as I purchase the LCD+digitizer+frame. Then it will just be a matter of putting all the parts including board back in to it. On eBay there are choices. You can purchase just the glass or glass and digitizer or those plus what they call the frame. While on my phone. Only the outside glass is broken. I am going to buy the kit that has all three. I would give just replacing the glass a shot if I could find a video or tutorial. I have looked everywhere. Nothing. The closest thing I could find is the vid on youtube of the guy changing just the glass on his mate. Unfortunately, he never says a word in that vid. I guess it's just to show it can be done. I'm really stressed by all this. I would prefer to just change the glass if only I could find some info. I presume it is like a Samsung where glass is glued with local to digitizer. I have fixed those type on a s3 and note 2. Was not that hard. Just be sure to heat properly and don't scratch digitizer. With no idea of how it is done on this phone. I guess I will get the kit and hope for the best as of course. It has to come from China. Waiting....Thanks for the info and I will do my best to make a vid so others can learn from my mistakes? Lol or hopefully success.
Have a hair dryer or a heat gun handy just in case. On the OnePlus, the screen is "glued" somewhat, to the plastic frame. It is a LOT easier to separate if you heat is up a
bit. Just heat one side, then you the (as I like to call it) guitar pick tool to start to pry it up, then to a little more at a time, so you don't overheat the broken screen.
After you get the screen off, make sure you scrape around the edges of the frame, to ensure you remove any sticky residue. You don't need to heat up the new screen. Once you press it down, it will stick quite well.
If it were me I would get the entire kit and be done with it. There is too much that can go wrong with the hairdryer and peeling the old, broken screen from the digitizer. With the kit, it's just all screws and dismantling then put it back together. Much easier.
I hope that is right about the kit. The thing that scares me is what will the quality of the parts be like? I know my digitizer is fine. So I'm going to try the kit first. If it fails due to bad parts. Then I will still have the option of just doing the glass. The cheapest I saw for the glass was 18.00 bucks. The kit with shipping was 58.00....Not really a huge difference. Again its the quality of the parts that scares me. Of course the vid on youtube makes it look easy. But I'm sure he is doing it on a phone that has been torn down a few times. Its always easier then. As I said. I intend to video all this. If nothing else. There will at least be more info available to poor suckers like me..lol. Will see in a couple weeks if the Chinese ship time holds true...
I'd bet the quality is the same as OEM.

One other thing. Just wanted to ask. You say the one plus is about the same? Are you saying that because there similar in how their made? Or do you know something about where their made. Thanks for the info on the glass. I have done it on Sammy phones. Has to be similar. Kit is already coming. So I'll go that route first try. Wish your repair had been on a ham2. Then I would feel better. I guess I get to go first. Lol

The one I ordered for the OPO looked identical, except the routing for the lcd screen connector was just a little different, but in no way caused a problem.
I wanted to update you guys on how the repair of my screen is going. I have some info to share and trust me. It is important if you ever need to DIY on this phone. Most are aware of the video on youtube. Ive watched it several times and I always got the feeeling it looked to easy. Well, my screen and dig assy came in today. I was going through the process of tearing it down and everything was going well. Untill i got to the part where you remove the power button cable. The one that runs along the side of the phone. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWEN. In his vid. He makes it look like this cable will come off with gentle pressue. BULL****. It wont. It is glued Tight and you will just winde up tearing it. I am so pissed. I wish he would have just said to buy the cable with the kit. Its 10 bucks on ebay of course. So, now I have a torn down phone waiting for the cable. I was making a video of the repair. When the cable comes in. I will finish it and upload to youtube. The other thing he makes look easy is the removal of battery. Again, its not and you could damage it too. But I managed not to. Anyway i am really upset right now so sorry for cussing. I want to find that dude and shake his hand and smack him at same time...

I have worked on several phones. None are easy really. Most all companies use some type of adhesives. Alot glue the batteries in as well. Dunno if you tried it but heat seems to help with the glue. Seen a guy do it with a hair dryer. Worked for me as well with a screen replacement. Never took one of these apart so I have no idea if they use heat activated glue or not. Good luck!
Well Thanks for reply. I too have fixed a few. As long as I have something to guide me. Im Cool. Vid or written indtructions. Yes all phones use some sort of glue. With this one on the cable. Heat would not have helped. You would just melt the cable. I was expecting some adhesive. But not like this. This was not meant to be reused. Period. Thats my point. I wish he would just have said buy the cable. No way it is coming off in one pc. The speaker is also glued down extremely tight. I think I got it. Its still in one pc. Interesting enough. There also on ebay.
I really just want people to know about the power cable. If you have to replace screen on this phone. Get one. Your gona need it. Now it may be middle of july by the time I get the cable. I went ahead and tore everything else out of phone. Tomorrow I will put all back into new assy. But i wont know if it worked till cable gets here. I forgot to record taking out the other pcs. I was just to stressed. But I do have some good vid for most of it. Gripe is now over. il be back when cable gets in...

With any luck you may save someone else a headache!
pckarma112, so sorry for your frustration. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I was going to suggest the the same thing as Moody. Heat from a hair dryer usually helps soften the glue but isn't enough to destroy anything (usually).
Just so we are all understanding, can you show a pic or provide a link of what you purchased? Was it just a screen or an assembly?
Again, sorry for your issues. Hang in there.
Parts
Yes I can. That is if I can post links. So Il try. This is the link for the power cable: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=291410104104&view=all&tid=1181571120019 This I just ordered yesterday. The deleivery is anywhere from middle of July to second week of August. Im keeping my fingers crossed that I got a good vender and will get a good one. They say they have already shipped it and gave me a tracking number. But the number is not showing up yet. Ive seen this before with china stuff. I will give it a couple days and check again.>... The next one is for the screen kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141653108269?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT > Cant say enough good things about this vendor and kit. It looks and feels outstanding and I recieved it in two weeks from china. That is pretty darn good. Now, the only thing is since I have no power cable. I do not know for sure if I got a good one. But, like I said. It feels like a quality part. The last item is a phone repair kit that really helped with this job. The metal and plastic spudger really helped with battery and other small parts like camera and vibrator. For the price I suggest you get one.

As for the screw driver. Dont do what i did. I bought a cheapo 1.69$ one. It was crap. Lucky for me. I had one from a previous kit I bought and it worked fine. Hopefully these links will show up for you guys. If not I will try with a different browser.
Just so its clear. I do have a hair dryer that I keep for samsung screens. I thought about trying it on the cable. But I have worked on these kind before. There is a really fine line between warming the glue and melting the cable. This sucker had enough glue to hold the hoover damn together. Ive seen it before and Im pretty sure you would melt cable before the glue would give away. Thanks you guys for advise and just letting me vent. I do hope that anyone who attemps a repair can learn from my mistakes....lol. Thanks again.
I've been taking stuff apart and SOMETIMES successfully getting it back together for over 40 years, sometimes with the odd screw leftover, but hey, where do our extra screws come from eh?
I replaced the screen on the OnePlus for a friend a couple months ago and WOW, they need to make these screws JUST a LITTLE smaller, don't you think? I find that keeping a small magnet on hand comes in handy to keep track of those tiny a** screws.
pckarma112- Nice job on the post of Parts. Only problem is the first link failed. Said it was too old. Again, thanks for sharing and letting us learn from your mistakes.
Thanks for the *cough* compliments. The link is bad because seller is sold out. However, you can try this one:http://www.ebay.com/itm/111501320079?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT......If that does not work then there is this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-LCD-D...412?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f3f160554 This is same only black. Again, these people really treated me well. Im sure there will be new auctions when he restocks. There are also plenty of others. Price varies a little. Im really delighted that you find small screws to be a pita. Thats just awsome. lol Keeping a piece of tape on the table really helps. Just drop them on to the tape and I promise you will never lose another one. I would really like for this thread to be helpful to anyone that gets unlucky. So, I am trying to be ernest about it all. That includes honesty with no hidden attitude. When I say thanks. I really mean it.
By the time and god willing the power cable arrives. I will hit the big 60. This will not be the last phone I ever repair( I hope). But it sure has been one of the most interesting. Thanks again guys and may your screws never be loose.
Thanks

Thank you. You gave me a good laugh and it was much needed today. In fact. Its needed everyday in this world. The kit of screw drivers that I own are indeed magnetized. Thank God. Seriously though. If you think these are small. Try repairing a watch. Now your talking micro. I have worked on about a dozen or so with my brother. He is a master clocksman. Makes good money still and when ever he needs help. I get to learn from him and make a little too. So, Im blessed. I also lost track of where a couple screws will go on this phone. But, got it figured out. It is nice to know that none of us are perfect. Thanks again bro.
