Search on Youtube and you can find video tutorials of how to take apart the phone. I tried to do it and it didn't go well for me, but my LCD was also cracked and so was the case, so I literally had to take everything off of my old phone and transfer it to another case assembly. In the process of removing the flex cable antennas, I broke two of them and had to order a replacement. I'm just found the parts I need to fix it yesterday.
If all you have to do is the digitizer, then me personally, I don't think it is too hard. I recommend getting and LCD/digitizer combo to make things easier; even if your LCD is still intact. I only bought the digitizer, and it turned out my LCD was also cracked and had to order it separately.
If you've never done anything like this before, then I also suggest you find a repair shop and let them do it. Buy the parts yourself and pay them for the labor.
ok I bought the digitizer and I guess ill go to a repair shoo and let them do it

Not to be jerk man, but to be honest, you might want to look into having a professional do it for you. You've been posting about replacing your screen for a week!

I've never had to replace my screen, so I can't offer any specific advice for you. All I know, is that if I were to perform a repair such as that, I would have researched it a lot, bought a pry tool and some other tools for the job, and figured out what type of adhesive to use. Did you try google? Im sure there's a specific type of adhesive that you need to use.

Good luck and godspeed.
I took my Evo into Sprint because I had some obnoxious dust underneath the screen and they replaced my LCD for the price of 0.
You think they'd do the same cracked?

I'm not sure of their exact policy, but I know that it changed sometime a couple months ago. They used to be very good with replacing cracked screens, and it'd either be free, or just for a minimal 35 bucks. Now I believe that if the crack is bigger than an inch, they won't fix it, and will tell you to send it to Asurion if you have it. I would just call your local Sprint store and ask them what their policies are on having a cracked screen. Or just go down there and see what happens.
I have a replacement LCD and digitizer for sale, all one piece so you don't mess up with just the digitizer which is not that easy
Thas Allota love right there

He said using a t4 driver... I used a t5 when I replaced my speaker.
i know some sprint stores dont even bother fixing screens anymore. they wouldn't fix mine. it was still under warranty so i sent it back to HTC and they had it back to me within 5 days FREE of charge had to unroot my phone and put the stock sprint ruu back on though
if it weren't under warranty, i would definitely do it myself. its easy. just a little know how and the right tools. its surprising how easy these htc phones come apart.
Anyways... Good luck!
So i cracked my screen the other day and looked on ebay and new digitizers are only like 30$. Has anyone used these are will the touch screen work just as good, like i wont have to press harder right?
Also I looked at youtube videos it doesn't seem hard to replace should I be able to if i have the tools? Thanks

I did this. I bought the kit that came with only the glass and sticky tape. It works great. I used a few things to clean the sticky stuff from the bezel but a little knife or small electronics screw driver might do. Otherwise its like the videos I saw. Fixed my wife's Evo in a pinch. If you want to know exactly who I bought mine from let me know and I'll fire up a desktop and look.

Depends on your hardware either your phone is 0003 or 0004 to check go to menu settings scroll down to hardware

Does it still turn on? How is the touch response ? Make sure you dont need to replace the lcd as well. May actually be easier to just buy a whole new housing complete with the front assembly and bezel. OG EVO parts are pretty cheap now and that way all you have to do is take the Motherboard and place it in the new housing.
Still works fully, just can't use screen aka glass. It literally is shattered.

make sure you will use a heat gun/at least dryer or you can damage the screen.
Amazon & or Ebay is your best bet cost wise. Easier access= Sprint Store
Were all the front parts the same ribbon style. My phone is the version 0004.

All the screen/digitizer are the same as far as I know. It's the LCD ribbons that are different (either narrow or wide). I just replaced both on my evo a few weeks back. I played 7 bucks for my digitizer and 15 to my LCD.

Is the digitizer okay? Responds to touch and isn't damaged? If so, then all you'll need is the glass and a lot of patience.

If all you need is the screen, they run about $15 on eBay. I would suggest watching a few youtube videos of the replacement unless you've previously done so.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why cases are available for purchase. Seriously though, you need some sort of protection for an expensive device like the S3 or the S4. Protect your investment and get a case next time to prevent damage from falls.
See tutorial here.

I tried to replace the screen and I broke the digitizer. I got the replaced through insurance but is there any way to retrieve the data from the old phone with the digitizer being broken??? The phone cuts on and when I plug it into the computer it recognizes it as a camera and shows no files. I tried kies but it says I need to unlock the phone which I cant. Any help is appreciated.
I retrieved my data on my old phone by takomg both phones apart trading out the motherboards amd copying tbe old files to my computer. Them I swapped the motherboards back. The whole process took about 30 min.

I would like to get my glass replaced. Sprint seems to be very picky on replacing glass or screens. I'm looking for a guarantee way to get new glass threw sprint. Yes I do have the insurance. Thanks in advance.

If the crack is too big they won't do anything. File a claim.

This,
Use to replace them free with insurance. My og Evo got shattered 6 months after I got it when I fell through an attic and I landed on it. They replaced the screen for free. Now it has to be a crack less than 2" I think.
