Just received my Droid DNA from MobileTechVideos today. Got the S-off because I wanted to root, guide coming soon, but here is how I got my phone back. I sent my phone in new condition, just bought it, and received it the exact same. No indication the phone was open besides the side grill, which I just had to push back in place. Here is my video getting the phone back. Gonna work on a video on how to root today so be on the look out for that.

Thanks! I've been debating myself and this gives me a better idea of what to expect. I appreciate the video, and I'm looking forward to your next one
Got mine back today also. Already unlocked the bootloader and got recovery installed, about to flash a new rom now. Very quick turn around though, I sent it out last thursday and got it back today. No physical damage to the phone at all.

Also I used this as reference for downgrading the phone and unlocking the bootloader, quite helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40324080
I did however reflash the latest radios/firmware after going through all that to make sure everything is back up to date.
Thanks! That's actually the guide I was following hahaha
Rooting video is being edited then will upload as soon as possible

You can actually skip the unlocking process. I just flashed the Engineer's HBOOT, flashed a recovery, and that was it. Made a backup of the stock ROM (not rooted) and am now chilling on a Sense 5 ROM.
Great news. I've got a thread going until tomorrow for those interested in a group rate from them. Glad to see they provide great work. Thanks for the thread!

It will take hours just to load your video if it's 8 gigs. DVDs aren't even 8GBs. You posted 2 hours of a video on how to unlock?

Who currently has access to the dump? I would be interested in knowing if anyone managed to grab the bootloader and other partitions, the system dump though probably more current in this case with the phone dump, has been inside the leaked RUU for about a month now.

I believe everything except for the data partition was dumped. If I'm wrong, the Data partition WAS dumped as well and is being scrubbed to protect the leaker, thus the release delay.
Bought this phone off of the marketplace on android forums. from what i can tell so far is that its a really nice phone. feels nice in the hand, battery cover is nice and grippy. fiddled with the home screens a little bit, pretty snappy. havent really been able to get into the phone yet so i will update later with my thoughts. but i can honestly say that the Evo 3D will have its hands full with this phone. its a BEAST!

motoblur runs smooth? that would be a really big step for motorola..
rootable???? i had to. but in all seriousness, looks like a sweet phone. just wish it didnt have motoblur crap on it. 9 gb internal???????
Yeah I like it so far. Looking forward to activating it later to test it out. And I'm not big on android skins like sense and blur, i like the stock launcher. So as soon as I get a phone LPP goes on it. As close to a stock launcher I can get til there is some CM7 love.

I am very particular when it comes to graphics so I started putting some of these together for myself and thought I'd share. Will be updating when I come up with more ideas.
YOU MUST BE S-OFF or these won't work at all.
Installation
1. Download the splash screen you want to install
2. Place the file on the root of your SD card
3. Rename it PH98IMG.zip <--Don't Forget
4. Reboot to bootloader and update

I apologize for the tease without any date. However, I am currently working with a company on the tooling. What with my Gandpa's funeral last week and other personal matters this weekend, it's been slower coming than I want as well.
Rest assured that once I get the process down, making cases for future tablets will be a MUCH quicker process.
