Hi there,
I posted the following message in the "Accessories" section about a week ago, but have had no replies. Perhaps more people look in this more general section, at least I hope so. In the meantime I have tried a couple more "pc repair" shops but without success. I appreciate that people who visit this site and offer their advice, do so on an entirely voluntary basis. It's great that so many of you have such an interest in the product/subject and that you are willing to share your experiences and knowledge with us. Even if no one can help with my problem, I must say that I have enjoyed reading the forum, and until this unfortunate accident I was starting to really enjoy using my XDA. I had upgraded the ROM, unlocked a SIM card, installed stacks of software, it was great. Ah well, maybe I will just have the memories!
"I recently dropped my xda and it would no longer power on, it seemed completely dead. Assuming it was a "connection" problem with the power to battery pins, I opened it up to see if I could see any obvious problem. During my poking and messing about (with tools which were not really suitable) I inadvertently damaged the small ribbon cables on the right hand side .
I took the unit to a laptop repair specialist but he was unable to fix it, he said he could not find replacement cables/plugs that would fit. Do you know of where I could obtain such cables, or can you recommend someone who would be capable of carrying out repairs?
I would really appreciate your advice, I'm lost without use of the xda. Yes, I did regular backups to the storage card, the last one being only a day or two before the accident.
I look forward to hearing from someone, hopefully with some positive news!
Many thanks,
Mikeyg "
does anyone have something like this which i can buy?
hello, i have an xda mini s and it is bricked but the display is in perfect working order, i would have to sell the phone as a whole item as i am not technical enough to take it apart, but for the whole packeage it would be very cheap, regards

HTH.
Ok, so here is my story. I just got a T-Mobile HD2 yesterday. I successfully installed HPSL, and was running Android 2.2 beautifully. Except I had the problem with the distortion during calls. So I started searching...I must have done at least 3hrs of research before I did anything.
So what I was told was that I needed to flash the radio. I read dozens of forums with people talking about trying all different kinds of roms and people even going as far as saying that if you flash one that doesnt work, dont worry just reflash.
Well, I THOUGHT I had narrowed my search down to the rom I needed. I was under the impression that I should use this rom;
(Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)
But I unintentionally downloaded this one;
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.50.11 **(from TMOUS 2.01)
Now My phone wont even come on! Ive heard people talking about un-bricking these phone, but they all start with going to the boot loader. Mine does NOTHING AT ALL....the light doesn't even come on when I plug the charger in
When I flashed it everything went fine, no errors, nothing, I had the htc loading bar on my screen, it hit 100% and it shut off and it wont come back on.
By the way, I flashed it via usb.
I have a bad feeling that I'm screwed. But if anyone can help it would be appreciated. As I received this phone from a friend who switched to the EVO, I don't even have the T-Mobile service yet, I was going to switch at the end of the month. I don't believe I have a way to get it replaced.
OK, so some more research has found that I definately installed the wrong rom...duh. and that this problem is specific to the tmobile phones.
At this point I have been reading about jtag, RIFF box to be specific. I would be willing to pay someone (a reasonable amount) if they could fix my phone. I'm may be willing to purchase my own riff box, if I cant get my hands on a new phone. I just don't want to spend $150 on a piece of equipment that ill only use once.
But if absolutely necessary, is there anyone out there willing to provide me with step by step instructions on how to connect the jtag to the phone, and run the software? I know its going to involve soldering, I have that coverd, But what and where to solder?

i hope someone answers and you get this fixed because after you hit a radio brick.. im lost.. thats time for me to call my insurance company..
good news is.. there are enough bricks on here that if you have to buy something that will fix a radio brick.. if you chaged $30 -$50 a phone to fix them you would have more phones in your hands than youd know what to do with and would def get your money back.
there was a thread that samsamuel and some other guy were discussing this. the other guy (forget who it was) can do this...but lives in south america. if you search for it, maybe he can help. yes, a very looooong shot...but an idea...
Well I have some good news, for me anyway, I did some research and found that the phone I had received is still under warranty until March. So I'm hoping that since its a complete brick that they wont be able to tell It was modified, and also I believe the rom I was trying to flash is actually an "official" rom(correct me if im wrong).
I have given serious thought to getting the riff box and selling the service, I could definitely use the money, but I don't know the first thing about how to use it.
Now, this seriously needs to be done!! What rom should the T-Mobile USA users use to flash the radio in there HTC HD2? I know I'm not the first or the last person who will brick there phone. I searched for over 3hrs and kept getting linked back to the same thread,
([REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread)
Now while that does seem to be a very complete list of roms, nowhere does it give any info on what one to use for what device. Furthermore, I knew what phone I had, what model, the ram and rom size, all the jazz, but nowhere did anyone tell me that the !!T-Mobile!! HD2 was just "Slightly" different than the others. I didnt find that out until AFTER I bricked the phone, as did ALL of the other users who bricked there devices.
I, and most of the other bricked users would agree, there needs to be a thread(maybe even a sticky) that is solely dedicated to us T-Mobile HD2 users. So lets start here!
The primary and really only issue is this...what is the proper radio rom to use on these phones and what is the proper way to flash them? If this question can be discussed it will make many of us very happy.
BTW. Other than the robotic voices, the HD2 ran android AMAZING props to whoever created FroyoStone_Sense_V3.1. its simply amazing!
re post 1 unfortunately you haven't got your information right. the first one will def kill a tmous because it is a ..51.. radio, and the second one will also kill a tmous because 2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x are from test roms and don't support the 576ram giving the same effect as a ..51.. radio.
re post 5 the radio thread you mentioned. i suspect you have been only reading the regular hd2 section, (this section) when in fact the tmous has it whole own section, complete with tmous radio thread with all these warnings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
on a plus note loads of people have claimed on warranty, just don't mention flashing.
Thank you! I love to be proven wrong. (No sarcasm intended)
I had no idea there was a tmous thread. anyway this was the original radio thread
httpa:Z//Zforum.xda-developers.Zcom/showthread.Zphp?t=611787
I threw some Z's in the link because I'm still new here so I cant post links yet.
And no way did I tell HTC that I flashed the phone. I just told them that I put it on charge, went to bed, woke up, and it was dead as a doornail. I should have it back in 3 weeks.
When you get it back, stick to the tmous hd2 forums for flashing info. For everything else, though, I find the original hd2 forums we're in now a lot more informative and active. The phone are identical except for rom size and the fact you can't flash certain radios. But you can use the same software, etc.
Good luck returning your phone.

We'll I should have my phone back within a few weeks. Apparently HTC repair is backed up, its got something to do with the Nexus One. I didnt say a word about it being hacked, so I hope they don't find out. But anyway, I wanted to thank all of you for the positive feed back with my problem, and for linking me to the right forum. I was expecting to be bombarded with people calling me an idiot, and saying things like "use the F'ing search button", but Instead I was given very useful and sympathetic replies, and all the info I need to not make the same mistake twice. Thank all of you, I wish the users of more forums could be this professional, helpful, and quite frankly this grown up.
Thank you.
P.S: Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not HTC will be able to recognize that the phone was hacked?
As others here, I faced a cracked screen on my Folio 100 because the screen popped a bit out of it's housing.
As others, I faced a Toshiba that said: user abuse, basically saying I was a liar regarding how the problem occured. Repair cost higher than initial purchase of the tablet.
So... I told the store I bought it from I was willing to go to court. I don't care about a few bucks. It's the principle. The store went back to Toshiba, time passed. Somewhere along the line, the store found out I'm also involved with the biggest tech site in the Netherlands - which e-mail address I never use for orders as I don't want to get special treatment. So guess what happened...
Toshiba, out of the goodness of their hearts, still did not acknowledge my issue, but offered to make a special exception for my case. Surprise surprise. The snag however, they still state my issue can only be user abuse although I have stated to be prepared to go to court over that.
Very nicely done: the offer to make an exception for me, means I have no case in court for the warranty part. But... They're essentially still calling me a liar - I don't like that.
So... I have opened a thread on their forums, that are known for letting disappear the entire Folio section an many realted posts. See how they handle that.
** XDA spam prevention, I can't post the link: you'll find it on toshiba-europe.com / forums / thread.jspa?threadID=65243 **
If you have issues with your Folio, especially the screen showing to be coming out of the housing, however little, post it there. I'm not the only one facing this.
Contact details are in the post @ Toshiba forums. Looking forward to your posts and if you'd rather keep anonymous, your e-mails.
Thanks.

Posted in your thread, I totally support this!

I have the same problem with mine. The screen sometimes pop up in a corner about 2mm. I have not taken it to the store because I figured they would tell me it is just rough handling like you was told.
Samsung Galaxy s6 Edge | Completely Broken Screen | Need USB Debugging & PC Control
Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be able to use this forum and access the infinite knowledge the community has to offer. Let me start with what I have already read and searched, then I will go into details.
I did a search here, and read the little that was related to my issue. Some of the more relevant threads that started to cover my issue where very old and left off where I needed help. I did not want to necro those posts which lead to the decision to post here. If that was the wrong choice, I do apologize. Some of the topics that turned up results for me are here (had the same issue but wrong goal. Also no replies), here (Was very descriptive and helpful. However I am too much of a novice to understand most of it. Combine that with it being over a year old and one reply, and I get a dead end.), and here (which suggests I can do it with a wireless connection, however my phone has no screen to complete some of the tasks).
I read this, and this. But I am unfamiliar with some of their terms and methods as I mentioned earlier. I have only ever rooted one device in my life and it was thanks to a program. So I have VERY little knowledge on how to use a lot of the tools and knowledge being given to me in a lot of other forums. That's why I am calling on all of you to not give me the answers but teach me so that I can do this on my own and even pass on the tricks I might learn to others in my situation. After all a simple breaking of my phone screen has put a hold on my life. I have no access to my email, my bank account (online), my business website, and every other part of my life that uses 2fa. Why?? Because I can't use my phone to get my codes to login to my accounts. Like every other dummy, I never backed up my "one time use codes" I mean after all I ALWAYS have my phone on me right??? -.-
My Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Sadly I do NOT have USB Debugging enabled. I bought the screen glass and was following the advice of a Tutorial that suggested I could separate the glass from the digitizer as my digitizer still worked at that time, when the digitizer snapped. Completely my fault. Now with the phone having NO screen I am left without a phone. But it gets worse because you know my handy dandy PC? Well I've had the OS for over 5 years and decided to do a fresh install. Oh but I really did.... Only to discover what I already knew and had totally forgotten. I needed to re-register all my accounts to the "New Device". Sure no problem just use that phone you always have with you to get your code and login....
I am out of options and getting more and more frustrated by the minute. I don't have enough cash to go buy a new digitizer as they are the same price as the ENTIRE phone is Refurbished. The phone number I had is useless as it was pre-paid and I switched to Metro PCs with my wife's phone. So switching sims to get a one time pass-code isn't going to work. That leaves me with trying to access the phone with no screen, which I know is possible thanks to all of you amazing people.
Im in need of desperate help so if you can teach me anything that would fix my issue I would be forever grateful. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and please just ask me what details I need to provide if I left any out.
