Has anybody tried to disassemble a Legend yet? Are there any pictures of the insides below the top plastic cover on the backside?
There are some pictures at mforum.ru but there are not shots of the most interesting part - just the aluminum case before and after.
Sorry I'm not allowed to post the link but google for "HTC Legend no disassemble".

How brave you are!!!! By the way, how have you dismantle it??? I can´t see screws in the upper side??
Cool, thanks!
I guess you need to lift up both plastic covers to get to the screws.
Hi, show us how did you do it, please..
great pictures shown there!!
can i confirm if the wifi antenna and the gps antenna are located on the top plastic (camera area) while the phone antenna is on the battery cover??
or are the wifi and gps antennas all the same, located on the battery cover??
thanks for the answer in advance.. haha.. this can help me decide what areas to hold on to the phone for specific tasks..

Tools
The first time I took it apart I used what I had, I just had to grind the tip of the scalpel, and it worked. But now I have invested in a tool kit.
Have fun…

i've just opened the camera area .. How do I "push" the phone backwards and the rest of the way out?
Will post pictures in a second ..
hmm .. it is not possible to post links to my pictures outside this forum yet ..
Admin - please verify ASAP !
You have to push on the phones bag side to get the display forward and up, be careful not to bend the metal by the microphone in the top.
I really dont know how to get it out the right way..Piece of S***!!!!

Hello to all,
First of all i wanna thank you for any help in advance.
I have a mentioned phone for a litle while but the problem appeared when Xperia fell on the ground. Now my mobile looks like it went tough a war.
I decided i will change the housing, but i have few question.
When you buy a new housing is there the front screen protector, or this is allready the screen? i needto know if sony xperia housing has someting over the screen or is it the display allready?
And if this is changable i would like someone to describe the procedure.
You can se pictures below. All the dots on the display are deep dents.
Thank you for all of your help

I have a problem with the cracked screen of my Xperia Active (st17i). Since the repairing cost the service centre will be more than half the price of a new phone, I’ll most probably need to order it and replace it myself.
I haven’t done this before so I’ll need all the advice you can give me both on the hardware and the software part. If anyone have done it before or knows how to do it all tips are welcome.
On the hardware part:
In ebay I found replacement modules including both the screen and the digitizer, BUT not the metal frame to which they are attached. For reference you can see the attached photos. My question here is:
HOW or CAN I disassemble the LCD and the digitizer from the metal frame of the phone at home? They seem to be glued firmly to each other.
On the software part:
I understand that changing the hardware is only part of the problem. If I’m not mistaken after that I’ll have to flash the firmware and calibrate the new screen. The guy from the service centre explained that if I do not find the correct version to flash with the damage may be even worse.
So my questions here are two:
1) Can anyone point which is the correct version to flash (and instructions)?
2) How or Can I calibrate the screen?

This has been done with other devices but this may work for yours too.

Hit thanks if I helped you in any way.
Thanks for the link. I was looking at this topic before, but I am not sure whether it is about solving software-related touch-screen problems and if it is applicable in my case (screen replacement).
Does anyone know whether is it really necessary to flash the phone at all?
I also found an article online on screen calibration for xperia active and xperia mini. Here is the link.
It says there I should install ETS software with SETool. I have no idea what this is or how to do that. Can anyone help?
Hi guys,
I accidentally sat on my Z3 Tablet (I know how that sounds, but I had it in a messenger bag - not used to carrying those - got on the bus, sat down and there it was right where it was not supposed to be) and now I got a nice case of cracked screen.
As far as I can tell only the glass is broken because the screen and digitizer still work fine and with any clue how it is built inside I am definitely capable of fixing this/replacing the glass/screen as a whole. But after looking for a while, I haven't found any teardowns/fix guides etc. Because I am reluctant to do this "blindly" (although this would be my final choice) I wanted to ask if any of you has seen something that could help me or maybe even had the same problem and fixed it?
This is my first post and usually I only read in this forum, so I want to thank all of you who participate here for the massive amount of useful information
I also have been looking for teardown instructions and found nothing so far...(Not that i have something broken, just curious what's inside )
Hello,
The screen of my aqua xperia being broken I decided to replace it myself, for information I already perform this operation on several other mobile so at this level no worries.
I would like to know or find a good quality screen to buy on the net.
So if you have sites or good plan I am taker
Then, after the repair done, I would like to know if my sony will always be waterproof or not?
I use a special adhesive for screen and to reattach the back of the device (Zhanlida B-7000) :good:
Thank you very much for your reply
