Hello,
Today, I am not happy. 2.1 is delayed yaddy yaddy ya.
But I am stuck with the phone until mid-2012 so I may as well get what I want from it.
Sadly I was stuck with T-Mobile when I got the phone and due to this I have the "Sensuous Black" version of the phone.
I did really want the white one so does anyone know were I can get OEM white casing from? Or even a bricked White Xperia X10
(I will probably see a lot of white xperia's on ebay within the next... hour but they will still probably be overpriced even when no one wants them haha)
Thanks in advance.

Could I use the link you posted with

I think that is the tope bit I am talking about, after looking at a disassembly guide
Spent the last 2 hours reading through all the posts and searching Google in regards to finding an extended battery, 1800mah or 2000mah that fits with the stock cover and works with our NFC chip.
All the posts on here are a few weeks to a few months old, so I was wondering if anyone has found the hidden gem? I know about the Korean version with the case mod, but I enjoy the OEM case with the "Galaxy S II" logo on the back. But if push comes to shove and there are no other options, I will go with the Korean one.
So, anyone want to help out?
Korean one is your best bet as I have looked at all the aftermarket extended batteries which do not have NFC in them.
NFC is in the battery not the phone.
But I am also interested in a good, confirmed, extended battery that will fit like stock.

The NFC chip is in the phone and is allowed to be used by a "NFC ready" battery.

It's all good, still figuring the whole thing out myself.
Sent from my fist full of Galaxy S II.
I bought the 2000mah euro version for its cover and i bought the 2000 mah Korean version for the battery. Waiting for them 2 arrive. Then i need 2 sell the euro version battery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
So, can the 2000mah Korean version cover be dremeled down to snap onto the i777 properly?
I'm a little confused, why not get the battery and use the stock cover?

Probably can but i don't have a dremel, that's why i bought the euro version 2000mah kit, it supposedly snaps right on.

Got the Korean version, dremeled the Korean cover to fit on, and then went ahead and bought a SGP Linear case. Looks amazing.

Awesome!
1. Can I get a link to your seller? I have found that a lot of them can't confirm their batteries have NFC capabilities (I'm assuming yours did).
2. How did the case fit after modding?
3. With the sgp case, do you just have to leave off the battery cover section so that it ends up being something like a bumper?
Thanks!

Yes they did, the case fit pretty well - as if it came factory, and nope, the case fits over the battery and the battery cover.
I will post some pictures and maybe a little tutorial and all that when I get home next weekend.
I bought it from here though.

i think the model # from the link is incorrect. "...STD" version is the international non-nfc version. the korean (nfc) is either "...BSG" or "...BEG".

Might be the page which is incorrect, because my battery model number is: EB-K1A2EBSG.
On the site it also says "The EB-K1A2EBSG is the Korean version of the EB-K1A2EBEGSTD. The battery is an NFC version and will fit any Samsung Galaxy S2. However, the back plate is incompatible, and only fits the Korean Galaxy S 2."
Thanks for the link! I'm assuming the site's reputable right? Mind if I ask what shipping method you chose and how long it took? Thanks for all your help!
(P.S. Saw you were from California, my wife and I are heading to wedding in LA. Hoping for nice weather!)

Pretty reputable, it's a French company and being from France I trusted it. I know my cousin who lives in France uses it a lot.
I used standard international shipping and it took about 8 days from being marked as "shipped" to arrive to me in California.
Weather has been pretty nice, not that much rain, spent a few days in LA with my family who lives there, but I'm in France now visiting the other side of my family!
So wait, the battery COVER* you purchased off of ExportPrive didn't need any sort of modification to snap into an i777? I'm a little confused! haha. I'm excited to pick one up! Also by 'Euro' version of SGSII, do you mean the standard/stock i9100 cover? I can just pick up a nice looking aftermarket i9100 case and it'll accommodate the larger battery? Thanks again.
Hey guys so I got my phone today brand new and when I hold it at an angle it looks like there are about 8 spots on the screen that are nothing but white regardless of the background. Idk too much about screens but I'm sure its NOT supposed to be like this. I didn't get a warranty for the phone yet, but I was wondering if there was any suggestions for what I should do. I haven't even had this phone for a day yet

well depends on were you bought the phone...
if at Verizon, bring it back to Verizon.
even if you bought the phone from Verizon online, phone, store, etc. you are covered by Verizon.
If you bought it outside Verizon, then you need to check if there's a return on that like ebay, some buyers will give like a 3 day return or something like that, if that's the case make sure you get a new one.
Either way wherever you bought the phone you need to talk to them..
This phone hasn't popped up with many problems (yet) .
The Rezound would heat up on me and many other things, but the inc4 is very solid IMO
hope you get yourself a fresh one
Thanks boss I'll check with best buy tomorrow they have a 30 day return policy
If you got it at Best Buy they should give you no trouble.

For whatever it's worth I just got 2 of these back panels from China and they both did not fit. They were just a tiny bit to short. And I really tried to force these on too. I could get the top on and then when I really forced the bottom on the top pops out. You can't expect good quality control for something this cheap I guess..
Ah well. At least they weren't that expensive...

For what it's worth, I got one of these in blue, looked good, fit good but it was definitely degrading my reception. I had my phone side by side with a friends (ATT) note II and my phone stayed on HSDPA until the cover was removed. Too bad... looked great.
I've found almost all the parts to change my DNA to white.
I've sent emails to companies, checked , aBay, Amazon and every vendor I can find on Google and I've had no luck.
The piece I need to find is the rectangular part over the Verizon Logo, I'll edit from my phone.

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.
EDIT:
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.

Money Is being a PITA this month and I wanted to try to get all the parts from one retailer, (Spoiler: Nope).
Also been trying to find a white screen and frame assembly, (Spoiler: Nope).
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.

Yeah I cant wait for 4.3 and sense 5 for the DNA. I'm sure we will see the dump for it on here since I have OTAs blocked. I've considered going to a different device a ton of times but never did it cause the DNA is still great. Best phone I've used.

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.
