You won't know how to replace it your self, plus - the razr is one of the hardest phones when it comes to a full dismantle if you've cracked the LCD. I would say, send it to motorola

One of the hardest? It's actually really easy but you lose the water proof. The screen and digitizer is one piece making it a very easy replacement.
Try replacing a digitizer only on a nexus one or hd2 compared to them the razr is child's play

I would like to keep it water proof....can I purchase both pieces in tact?

If you want to keep it water proof and make sure it has gorilla glass send it to Motorola. If you try fixing it yourself, and something else gets broken, you've voided your warranty.
I sent a RAZR MAXX to Motorola to have a broken screen replaced. They "misplaced" the phone and couldn't find it. So they waived the repair cost. ($179) I did finally get my phone back, fixed. 11 days after they received it, good as new warranty intact.
Compared to a any other 4.3 device..i would say this is the hardest
Just wanna say the phone is not water proof its water resistant at best.

Hi!I'm from Romania too.Unfortanely,here in Cluj I don't know any repair centres.Two months ago,my loudspeaker stopped working,and I got a new one from eBay.I changed it myself.It is original,and it's working well.The price was good too,8$(~25 lei).So I recommend you to grab a new screen from eBay.
Hi ,
After i cracked my digitizer i tried to avoid from paying 300$ for fixing it.
I ordered "OEM HTC Droid DNA LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing" - all the parts are already in one unit and factory glued (Digitizer, LCD and Front Housing)
Making the job less complex - no need to glue anything
btw
I did the order from http://www.etradesupply.com - very fast shipping and great service .
now few tips :
1. very hard to open the back cover of the phone in the first time ( it's glued to the loud speaker - need to be patient ).
2. there are 3 antenna cables : 1 of the wireless , and 2 of the camera flash i think - be very gentle to them, they are very sensitive.
3. Remember to remove the "Ear Speaker" from your old phone - it's not part of the new screen ( I forgot it and needed to reopen my phone )
4. Have fun !
If you have questions, i will more then happy to answer :good:
btw #2
If someone want my old parts (Cracked digitizer - fully working, fully working LCD screen and my old front housing - PM me , will discuss on good price to both of as.
Thanks for the post. I just cracked my screen last week and looking at different ways to fix it.
Does anyone know if they have this same part in white for sale anywhere? I want a white screen on my DNA but all I have been able to find are ones that don't come with the earpiece.
Saw on ebay.. but it without the housing..only digitzer and lcd

I bought the lcd and digitizer separate. Then realized I didn't have the adhesive to glue it all back together. Wish I went the whole front panel way..
Same here, I ended up buying the whole housing pre-assembled. Even when I third to glue it the slightest pull on the ribbon cable and part of the screen is unresponsive.

Just replace my screen with the HTC butterfly screen. Looks much better without the Verizon branding imo

I've got a cracked screen and was thinking about doing this... Wanted to ask how much experience (if any) you had doing this kinda stuff and also how long it took you. Also did you see any adverse effects (such as loose back, volume rocker, etc) from doing this?

If you planning to buy the same part as i did, it's more easy.
Basic exp with tools suppose to be enough from my point of view.
Regarding the time, it's took me 2 hours - i had to open the phone again, cuz i forgot to place the ear speaker
For the adverse effects:
Back cover - not loose at all, it's connected with hhard plastic clips.
Volume rockers and power bottom - working as before.
One issue that i found, is the charging led, i forgot to takw it out from my old housing

Hi
I got a white screen with red soft keys advertised for the 920e from eBay. Images here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44703091
I also agree the OP has a very misleading title for this post. It sounds like they are saying they separated their glass from the LCD and reused it. This is not the case. Not only did the OP replace the digitizer and the LCD but they also replaced the housing.
Great tips tho on removing parts.

Now I'm confused. I thought the digitizer was fused to the glass, but the LCD is a separate part. I see plenty of eBay listings for the glass+digitizer(with soft keys). You're saying if one were to buy that they'd have to glue it to the LCD? I'm skeptical that these 3rd party Chinese products actually use gorilla glass 2 and the same highly sensitive digitizer as HTC's, including the 5" 1080p LCD would make me even more nervous about quality.

The LCD is a separate part, but I heard about how it is difficult separating the LCD from the glass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fTqPqh0fNkQ#t=559 at 9 :17 starts to show the front coming off. When I did mine, as my glass was broken, there was no really saving the LCD.
I cant tell the difference between my replacement, from a USA seller, than the original LCD.

No doubt, but Can Not. That eBay listing has errors. It says the x920e in the listing but it can not be. That listing is for a back cover with an SD card. The x920d and the HTL21 have SD cards and a larger cut out on the top of the back cover. The x920e and the DNA have no cut outs are are a couple mms shorter than the other two. Now this one you can use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290940405280
I broke the glass on my screen by dropping it. I'm wondering if there is a good link to a video on how to do this and good place to buy parts?
I've too and have purchased a two if them from Amazon and waiting to replace it once delivered.

What are you buying from Amazon? Everyone is saying it is nearly impossilbe to replace the digitizer alone. Do you have any experience with this? Is it possible to replace the whole screen instead?
How much are they quoting at service centre for replacement
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium HD app
Yes I got it from Amazon, and successfully replaced it "just the cover screen".
It hasn't any connectivity... Need to be patient as possible till replacing process specially when you remove the old one.
You can watch "how to" on YouTube.

Stupid question. Replaced plenty of screens before. My sister has a Verizon gs4. Cracked screen yesterday and over nighted a digitizer without my help. Lol. Its for i9500. Which is international version. I am assuming this will not work with the Verizon us model? Thanks.

I work at a cell phone repair shop. The digitizer runs through the LCD on most newer Samsung phones, so did you buy a LCD/glass combination piece or did you buy just the glass lens?
would really like to know how this goes. I have a glass screen protector which I have cracked, hopefully just the procter and not the screen itself. haha either way let me know how this turns out
Just the digitizer. Her LCD is fine.

on the s4 all carriers the digitizer is fused to the lcd the outer glass has nothing to do with touch.
the outer glass just protects everything no connections at all so its not like the older phones.
google youtube the glass lcd digitizer repair.
I had to fix mine

In fact, the LCD screen and digitizer can be used all the models and only the frame under the screen is different.
Thanks. I figured that out. Never changed just the glass before. Always been digitizer. It was kinda nice. If you leave adhesive on LCD. Just heat up rub off and clean with water and windex mix. Worked great for me in a pinch.
