Hey guys,
As you can see on the pictures, the glass of my Desire is pretty much shattered, but fortunately the screen still works, so I only need to replace the glass.
Question: Where can I get one for a relatively cheap price? Fellow Europeans, give me some suggestions.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Have you looked at ebay? A8181 is a good keyword too.
Looks like this is what you'll be needing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Desir...ssories_RL&hash=item4aaffb5828#ht_1706wt_1037
In fact, ebay is a good site to find it but bear in mind that you will have to disassemble the whole phone.
I had to do it for mine, and I was very happy to have the special screw drivers in the screen package that I bought.
Here is a tutorial on how to disassemble the phone:

You also can find videos on youtube...
eBay is going to be your best choice to get your new digitiser. Try to get one which includes the special adhesive and the tools required for the job. Read/watch the instructions a few times before you start the job. The hardest part is going to be getting the old digitiser off. Good luck.

Yep, I broke my galaxy. Screen and touch sensor works awesome, but screen is fully shattered. Searching at the forum gave me one positive result: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23644712&postcount=6
But i cant find any guide anywhere. If someone know how to make this kind of operation please leave your post or guide, it would be great. Thanks in advance!

the above is for the digitizer w/glass - the below is for glass ONLY

It is very risky to replace the glass only. Doing it this way increases the risk of damaging the AMOLED panel, either by overheating it or scratched/cracked by the broken glass. I've explained it before; if you want to replace the glass only, you'll need to separate the screen assembly from the frame first, then separate the glass from the AMOLED panel. You might end up breaking the panel anyway, so might as well replace the whole thing. But you can give it a go. It should be possible to remove the glass while keeping the AMOLED panel in the frame, because the panel itself is very fragile.
I replaced only the glass on mine.

Hi. This is my story about SUCCESSFULLY replacing only the glass of s2.
Background, you can skip this:
Few months ago I broken the glass of my beloved S2 in an accident, but because I had a screen protector the pieces of glass were kept together and the phone was 100% usable, only the image was distorted because of broken glass.
So I searched the available options: replace the whole display for a price of more than 100euro. Buy a defect s2 with good screen, but didn't found any lower than the previous price.
I had a previous experience with an Ipod Touch with the same problem, when I ordered the glass from ebay and went to a local phone repair shop that destroyed the Ipod. It was usable before going to that shop.
So I decided to give it a try and try to change it myself. I'm a programmer with what can be called poor electronic and hardware skills. So if I was able to do it, and you were able to find this post, you can replace it too. But after seeing some videos I had more confidence on my skills than of those repair specialists that were not careful with the other device.
First I found a clip on youtube about why you CAN'T change only the glass on S2. But I found also the above video with a interesting method, but it required a Molybdenum string that I couldn't found at a good price. Actually I believe that the shipment to Romania made the price to high for the string.
After researching I found the SOLUTION: on a page or youtube clip about how to remove the broken glass. But I've lost the link. Anyway, the procedure was simple. I remember that the video was about replacing the glass on a Galaxy S3.
So I ordered the replacement glass and some adhesive (finally not used) from ebay.
After I got the replacement parts, I opened the phone, you can find somewhere online the instructions how to do it.
For removal I used a pack of plastic poker card. It's needed something to not be to hard to scratch the digitizer, but hard enough to remove the broken pieces of glass.
I started removing the pieces around the Home button to get a feel of the process, and proceeded to remove all the pieces of glass and glue. It took around 3 hours to finish it and 48 cards. You need to lift the broken pieces with great attention and patience. It's not a hard job, but it takes time. Maybe with a hot gun is easier to remove, but when I received the replacement I was anxious to start and did not wait to procure one. During the whole process I kept the phone started to be sure that I did not broke the screen. In case of possible breakage or of a bad scratch I thought that I don't need to continue the procedure. Maybe is not recommended to keep it running, but it gave me a positive feedback that everything is ok.
After removing all the pieces of glass and glue I was able to see some fine scratches with a black background. I used some dust removing solution and then I attached the new glass. I only fitted the new glass on the place and I believe there were some glue left on edges that keep it in place because I did not added any other glue and it did not moved until now. With the new glass the scratches from the digitizer are not visible at all. And the phone works as new, the touchscreen was not damaged at all.
So it's completely possible to replace it.
Before fitting the new glass the cleaned touchscreen was like the touchscreen on S4: it was only needed to hoover with a finger at some distance above, but not touching . I remember that the replacement of my glass was before the release of S4 and when I found about this feature I knew that I already had something like this on my S2.
I don't remember having any other difficulties during the replacement except the removal of broken glasses. And I used this phone continuously without problems since.
Only last night the phone stopped charging and I had to replace the charging port, flex ribbon; but it was not related to glass replacement.
I don't remember if it was needed to open the phone for glass replacement because I opened it when it broke to inspect it and I opened it also few time since then for various tasks.
The total price of replacement parts was below 10$, with glass, screen protector and adhesive ordered from ebay. I ordered also a case to protect the edges for future dropping and was a smart investment. The pack of cards I had from poker set, but It shouldn't be so expensive.
Success with your replacement.

Don't try this at home kids...
I now back to my desire z after the galaxy screen is toast. JUST the heating alone destroyed it. ... Now gonna buy the LCD/screen assembly and do it right.
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app
if you are not a technician, I suggest you give it to someone REALLY capable of, what do you mean it is not at all easy and the risk of doing damage is very high.
Otherwise follow the advice that was given to you, buy the whole block
Necro thread, but I agree, it is not worth doing so. In order to be done properly, you need to have a very thin wire to separate the two pieces. Not something i would do myself. Much better to replace the whole assembly instead.

Mistakes were made, pockets had holes in them, phones were dropped. Now that I've gotten over the original shock of dropping my glide, I'm reviewing my options. I think i want to just replace the glass myself, but i can't find the part. I've seen a few places selling the whole screen assembly, but from what i can tell, my actual screen under the glass is fine. Does anyone know if i can get -just- the glass? or is the screen and the glass glued together or something?
edit: oh god, a thousand apologies. really didn't mean to post this in this section, could a mod please move? i cant seem to find the delete button.
According to this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VchAeu8Ku5k
I dont think the glass can be changed without the screen.
This does not belong in the Development Section and I am wondering why no one hit the report button....
Thread Moved & Thank You.
I recently bought a cracked oneplus x in hopes of fixing and using it. So I went ahead, heated it up and took the glass off. This went fine. I set the heat around 90-100° C and the glass came off just like it would from any other phone. The display is only glued on on the sides/bezels unlike Samsung phones in which the whole panel is glued down. This obviously made things easier. To my surprise the loca came off pretty easily with some rubbing alcohol. Before removing the glass you have to take off the soft keys, which are glued to the glass. These are connected to the back of the screen assembly by a connector which you can see in the pictures. It was when I went to buy the part I realized I had made a mistake: I couldn't find any. So I am stuck with this for now, and if anyone knows where I could buy the glass please give me a link. Regardless, I hope this is informational and helpful to anyone who might want to attmept this in the future.

I was hoping to do a glass only repair with loca uv glue since the glass alone is substantially cheaper. Thanks, however, I atleast have that as a backup, since it is at a pretty reasonable price for an amoled panel, if it takes too long for the glass to be available.
till now .it seems only this site sell the oneplus x lcd display.it looks like a professional website and can be trust

mnath need your help
m opx screen got a crack after it fell down Touch is working and i had initially thought of replacing the entire set which cost around 8k but after reading your thread i feel it can be done by replacing just the cracked portion.
Can you guide me on how to get it done ? pls ping me on whatsapp 9633318375 (Sony, kerala)
Could you pls tell me how to put the glass of the phone ? Ping me on whatsapp (081282213266) isya pramesta
I would also love to know how you got the glass off!
I bought the glass by itself, and I'm hoping that I would be able to recreate your result, so if you can tell me a bit more about the process that would be nice!
Did anybody get more details pics/instructions on just replacing the glass, mine arrived today and I would like to get it done?
Also does anybody have a specific recommendation on the LOCA adhesive to use to glue the glass back on?

Please any one suggest me how to replace only the front glass of one plus x
This is above and beyond being that the part for glass+LCD is like $30 on ebay.. Like you're risking the fact that the adhesive is like a little worse and a sunny day could easily destroy everything. If you're going to repair this phone, do the glass and LCD together.
Thanks for your reply...

If you only need the glass it is available on ebay :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Front...317149?hash=item235e06281d:g:DGgAAOSw6n5XwQUT
I have few questions, what did you use to heat up the display ? I don't have a heat gun, will a hair dryer do the job ?
Also are there any ribbon cables which I need to be careful about while doing the process?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, i did. But no video for oneplus x.
And since it has a super amoled. I dont want to take any chances.
I have only one shot.
Totally agree with all of you, I recently purchased just the front panel glass and really wanted to replace it, only for my local phone repair place won't do it without the lcd and digitizer... If someone can post pics or tell me if a hair dryer will do the job, I would give it a go myself

Hey guys, good day.
My HTC Desire Eye screen cracked (I accidentally dropped it) and it really looks horrible. I am planning to replace the screen myself, and I am asking if anyone repaired their phone by themselves as well. I'll be buying the parts needed in eBay. I am also wondering if I can only replace the glass and not with the LCD? The LCD screen still looks impeccable despite the cracked glass and touch works perfectly. However, I am yet to find a tutorial that shows replacement of the glass module only.
Thank you very much in advance.

U can find tutorial on YouTube. And yes you have to replace entire screen not just the glass.
My advice is get it replaced from a expert. It doesn't cost much. Also buy original screen don't get a bad one.
