Can i flash roms without my volume buttons. Somehow they broke. The click part is snapped or something im not sure. Can i change roms SAFELY without the use of my volume buttons. Thanks, or even better, i have a bad esn htc hero, i opened both phones and htc uses the same volume buttons for both phones or at least it appears to. Can i switch these easily, is it possible, whats my best bet
Yes, you can flash safely. ROM Manager is your best bet. you're going to want to get that fixed very soon, though. RM can't flash everything.

Well from what I was told it cant be fixed. Its connected to the mother board. A sprint tech messef mine up when they replaced the screen. They ordered a replacement phone but I didnt give up and he wad able to fix it. It wasnt broke but it wad bent.
If it would have been broken I would have a diff evo know.

If there is no physical damage (i.e. scratches, dents, water damage) then it will be covered under warranty. take it to an Authorized Sprint Repair Center.
It's been opened and guy swapped with a perfect condition evo physical housing...I'm looking for a paid for repair or self repair

The volume button itself is simple to change, once you remove the six screws on the back and take it off it just pops right out, same with the power button.
No the plastic tabs on the metal clips on the motherboard...not the actual volume rocker

I had to pick up a replacement phone and didn't have time to unroot my damaged phone. So I gave it to them anyway. I had a stock rooted rom installed at the time. Should I be expecting something to happen, or will they probably not even notice?

What was wrong with the original?
The port was damaged and wouldnt charge
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Probably not if your phone was F.U.B.R. lol if not they might notice somethin if they care which I don't think they will man .
They will probably never notice then. Chopped up for refurbs..
That would be cool.thnx
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nah nothing will happen. If nothing was said at the time you gave them the phone, they aren't going to say anything. They are supposed to check that stuff before they give you a new or replacement phone.

Plus the damaged port is a hardware issue. They can't really claim that you rooting the phone caused the usb port to break. When I took mine in, the guy never looked at it. When I came back to pick up the replacement, they told me to take the battery & SD card out. As soon as I handed them the phone, they tore it apart for parts, then put the back inside an envelope. They probably did the same to yours.

Technically I think they can refuse a replacement if it's rooted, even if it's obviously completely unrelated.
But in any event, to the OP, once you're out the door with your new phone, keep walking and don't turn back.
i just exchanged my phone for the same issue all i did was put the stock rom back on the phone
Mine just broke. -_-

I think it's not possible, or at least that's what the Sprint store told me. They just replaced my phone, then when I gave them the broken one, they stripped it down for parts.
There was someone on here trying to fix theirs, but it was really difficult & I don't know if they ever fixed it.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
It is possible but requires serious micro soldering skills , good (think commercial) soldering equipment and a magnifier with lights. The contact points are smaller than what you would find on IC's on a motherboard.
Thanks for the info guys.
Plainjane, was your evo rooted when you took it for repair. I'm not sure they will repair mine. It's rooted and I know there's a way to unroot but I don't have the phone insurance.

It'd be best to unroot it. And if they swap it [which they should] I think you'll be okay.
My phone was bought off Craigslist and I can't afford a new phone my hardware power button got conductive oil inside of it now whenever pressed it acts like. Held and hard restarts, I found an app called any unlock or something like that on the market my problem is when my phone sleeps it kills the process and I cant wake it is there a Dev who can help me make this program start in foreground I read about it but am clueless so I could really use help also if anyone knows where I can order the hardware button part that would be killer cause I could pay a shop to do the circuit soldering, I use this as my work phone and am worried I as I need to invest 500 into tools for work this month and can't afford repair, also my phone is on boost so there is no warranty, I can not take it to sprint, thank you

If you use CM9 you can set the volume buttons to wake the phone up. Could be a temporary fix for your problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
That sounds good but with it is now I'm not sure I can get it into download or recovery, I can't remember the buttons off the top of my head, but if I can that sounds like a good temp solution, thanks ... do you know if there is a one click Odin for that and if I can just flash it over stock rooted el29 also if its ice based apn settings are an issue for me I need to be able to change them to boost mobiles, I contacted a store that does button soldering and replacement so I may give that a shot on Friday

So my screen is broken and when I connect to PC I cannot see internal memory and kies sais that usb debugging is not enabled but I always enable that so no idea why it isn't working.
Phone is rooted with calks 3.0 GB rom and CWM, I know the phone works because you can hear alerts coming in for messages. Pretty sure I have all the pics and docs backed up via dropbox but I would like to possible save the phone and replace screen.
Never done this before so I am a newb, how much would the screen cost and does anyone know a good parts website for this phone?
Thanks

I have a shattered screen too, but I don't know if the board is cracked too (it looks like someone sat on the phone). Is there a way to check that the phone still functions? It might be worth replacing the screen to have a dev device to mess with...

I didn't think about this, my phone turns on and off but no sound and not sure what it is turning onto. Maybe I will unscrew it and try and pry the screen off to see the board.
Its super easy to fix yourself but the problem is paying for that replacement screen. Almost cheaper to buy a whole another phone

I agree just getting a replacement phone is the way to go, but I need to make sure I did not lose anything on the internal storage of my wifes broken phone. I have all photos backed up to dropbox, but I just need to make sure. Also, the used phone I replaced her broken phone with has a little bit of a beaten up trim around the screen but screen is fine.
When I connect with USB I do not see any drives and Kies says that the phone needs to have USB debugging enabled, which I could have sworn I did on her phone. I had her phone running on Calks 3.0 GB ROM and it was rooted so pretty sure I did it but who knows.
Any tutorials on how to access the internal storage in my situation? If I could do that then no need to replace screen.
Thanks
I may take up that offer to replace for $100, not a bad option at all.
How much does sprint charge to replace the screen? Hell it's just as easy to take this phone apart as my old Evo was and they only charged $35 to replace the screen. Bezel and all. With no warranty on phone

I will have to give that a try, maybe they will do it for a reasonable price. Problem is very long lines at the Sprint store.

Yesterday I dropped my phone, and busted up the screen, and the digitizer, I believe its called... The touch screen no longer responds, but the phone still works, can receive calls etc.
If I choose to replace it through insurance or something like that, they will charge me full price if I sent back a rooted phone correct?
Just trying to way my options... one thread talks about going through ATT's Device Support Center, which maybe the cheapest route.
Any suggestions on getting this baby unrooted without a functional screen/?

Well since you have insurance then just pay the deductible! It's not FULL price tho! Think it's like$125/150 and they'll send you out a new one!! Just tell em it fell broke apart. I don't think they'll want to to send in a busted up phone!!
That is what I did when I broke my phone. Plus it's like 2 day turn around for them too get you the phone..
Just my 2¢®

Without touch screen or visual screen interactions. ..unroot is not possible...
You need screen touch to run triangle away. .
But I think you can get both changed by a repair shop for about $250..
And they don't care about root. .
That sucks. ..very sorry. ..g
