Does your mate have insurance for when these things happen? Maybe you can try and work something out with his insurance company. Here in Holland you can take an insurance for those things.
I broke the tv of my neighbors when I was young and the insurance company took care of that.
Our you can try and repair it by yourself

Well... Samsung service center can fix things even if have no warranty, if you pay. However, you can tell them that you have warranty, they will not see the phone is rooted before they will fix the phone. If they find out after, no problem, but the chances are pretty small. If you need to pay the repair, put your friend pay as it was his fault. Ask for repair ticket proof and if you will have future issues be sure the phone is unrooted, go to service with the screen repair proof and they will fix the phone. A friend dropped an S2 while was in warranty, gone to service, fixed the screen (she paid) and didn't lost the warranty.

Almost certainly its hardware and going to fail any manufactures warranty inspection due to water damage . Therefore root does not matter as its a chargeable repair .
Alternative would be a self repair with replacement screen and digitizer . That assumes that the fault is with the digitizer only .

As it will probably cost you that for a Samsung repair you don't really have a choice but to pay .
The self repair may be less than a Samsung repair is all i am saying .

i broke my screen in my samsung vibrant..im trying to call my insarance. but before i do that i just want to make sure if asurion will replace it with a refurb phone. and what can you guys say about the replacement phone? can i still root it and install rom. or can i just replace the broken screen?
replacing the broken screen will be like $100 maybe more or less on e-bay. Pain in the ass...I would get your replacement, and you should be able to root/flash/everything....
Tnx for reply... so what s better to do just replace the screen by my self or call asurion and get a replacement. I check for a new screen online. Its about $150. And insurance deductable is $130. What do u recommend?

Depends how tech savy you are the easiest way is to have your ins do it. Yes with your replacement you will be able to root flash just like before so no problems there
i check the video on how to replace the screen and its hard cause u need to take everything out. i think i just call insurance less hustle... and now i know that i can still root the phone im getting. cause i heard that they willsend me a refurb phone and i dont know if its good for rooting and flashing roms.
I got more thing... when i send my to asurion do i need to flash it back to stock using odin?

I would even though the damage is not related. Just better to flash back so they can't complain about anything.
Alright so my volume rocker is not working when I try to lower the volume.. it will push in but not register.. volume up does work though..., how much is Assurion charging for replacements..i know they have expensive fees for top end devices.. is it 90$ or more?

if it's a defect that isn't a direct result of damage or negligence, try getting a warranty replacement before you shell out the cash.

I had the same issue with both the power button and the volume with my TB and I called 611 and told them.
I have TEC and they over night a replacement. I unrooted when I got the replacement and sent my broken one back. Just call them. They will replace it.
if that is your issue, call Verizon... I work for Asurion and they will charge you $89! If you call Verizon Tech Support they should be able to overnight you a replacement free of cost!
Yeah I called 611 and told them. The guy said he would send a replacement, except when I return mine there can't be any damage or I will have to pay 100..I told him I had a little chip on the bottom lip of the phone and he said i would most likely be charged.... that is ridiculous. Because I dropped this phone when I first got it I have to pay 100 because of a hardware malfunction...smh

I had a humongous scratch across my screen, but it was still replaced by VZW for free.
i cant do a ins claim
cant use samsung warranty because it was a at fault accident
How much will it cost to order a new lcd and any reccomended sites
What would assurion say since this phone is a used personal device not original equip
but they still honor the 199$ warranty on atat

I just had a horrible experience today.
I was putting my phone on the fireplace and caught the corner on the edge of the phone.
You can imagine my shock when I looked at the screen and it has a number of cracks across it and looks shattered in the lower left corner.
This was only a slight tip but it still took out the screen.
Has anyone any idea how much it costs to replace the screen here in Ireland.
I only have the phone 2 weeks and this happened. I'm devastated.

Use your phone insurance to get it repaired. Job done.
I don't have phone insurance. Car phone wear house wanted €15 per month and I could not afford to pay that.
I was going to see if I could insure it now with a third party and leave it a week before reporting the problem.

I've no issue with you scamming an insurance company - I'm firmly of the belief that there is a special place in hell for those parasitic bastards. But if you do go legit, I'd expect to pay easily over €200. I had to replace my screen in Sweden and it set me back the equivalent of €300 so I would guess Ireland is probably not that far off.
fonefunshop.co.uk charges about €250 plus shipping I'd guess and will deal with customers in Ireland.
Found this on adverts.ie. €165 but that sounds very cheap considering that to buy replacement screens alone to fit yourself is more than that. Would be wary.
And what CFWH is doing is extortion.

It's not really fraud if he pays for at least a month. After all how can you be charging £15 a month to insure a phone, that's terrible.

How do you insure a product without some kind of product inspection of some sort? I don't do insurances, but it is stupid if companies offer insurances without examining the product in the first place.

Yes it is you pleb. It's fraud, end of. And the reason we're having to pay £15 a month is so that the insurance companies can recover some of the costs from people carrying out bogus claims like you're encouraging him to do.

I contacted Samsung Repair and they gave me the number for Fondmenders in the GPO. I called them and they will replace the screen for €160.00
Its going in on Thursday and should be ready Friday.
I also get insurance for €37.00 per year with Zurich so I'll keep that just in case something else happens to it another time.
€37.00 per year is a long way off what Car Phone Warehouse where charging.
Anyway I'll know on Friday if I get a happy ending.
Don't you have something like household insurance in Ireland?
Something similar happened to me.. 3 days after i got it, dropped it in SAND (yes, SAND!)
The edge on the left side got chipped, like a small paranthesis ( - it was outsided the used screen, in the space between the used screen and the edge.
However.. 2 days later.. it got stolen, i never got around to fix it
Now i've got a new one..

Look who's calling who the pleb, when my phone gets spoilt I buy a new one, I won't be insuring a phone for any reason.
And since I work for an insurance company don't tell me that the £15 recovers some costs because it's bs.
Don't take everything so seriously, the OP want going to take any of the bad advice anyway.

If your saying that what I was considering is fraud then what do you call it when the insurance company pay an uninsured no tax and no licence driver then put my premium up to cover the cost 3 fold.
Don't talk to me about insurance fraud when the biggest fraudsters are the insurance companies them self.
I have had lots of occasions when the insurance companies screwed me over.

Just to update on the broken screen.
My phone went in to FoneMenders in the GPO Arcade (http://fonemenders.ie/) yesterday morning at 9:30
They replaced the screen within the hour and only charged €159.99
I had got prices from other compaines as much as €270.00
The phone looks brand new so I'm over the moon with the repair, very professional.
I now also have a flip cover and screen protector on the device. Only short of wrapping it in bubble wrap
I really don't want to go down that road again.
I still have my insurance policy on the device so should anything happen again I have that to fall back on.
I'll never understand why people don't insure their phones straight away for this exact reason...

Hi. I've read almost all posts on this forum and I couldn't find solution so I'm asking for help. I hope you won't slap me badly
So my problem is with network in SGS III (i9300). I bought it with error during dialing "not registered in network" and it's saying "only emergency calls", with stock branded adroid 4.3. Then I've started to fixing with other roms but always the same error (I haven't done EFS backup). I have IMEI which is correct with this under battery. I've been trying all methods which I found on xda and other forums and I couldn't solve it. Anyone has an idea how to fix it?
Either the imei is blacklisted, in which case you've bought a stolen phone, or the efs folder is corrupt in some way.
Take it to a reputable repair centre, they will be able to repair the efs, if the phone is genuine.

Don't take it to service center. Cost!!!!
Take it to a little local shop and they will be able to fix a corruption of the efs easily. UK price is about £20 to fix this.
If its blocked then you can sell it for parts or be a good boy and hand it into the little local police station:thumbup:
