Anyone know where I can get a screw for the i717. I need it for the back plate. It's bugging the hell out of me knowing one screw is missing. OCD I know. I don't want to try ebay because the last time I ordered one for an iphone, it was some cheap stuff.
I would be taking out another screw and take it to the hardware store.

Thanks guy. Hardware store won't have screws this small. I think the smallest I ever seen was 4-40 at OSH.
Thanks for the tip Greg. I sent them an email as they didn't have one listed.

Your welcome ..
I was a bit Leary buying from them at first, as I am from most online retailers, but with these folks, I've been treated beyond good at every turn.
Top notch customer service, and fast delivery at very fair prices.
One note, you are buying from an international retailer based in China....But
They Fedex direct ship, and never miss a beat.
I continue to use and refer them, and prices for parts are sweet as well....g
I have had great experience with tvmall.com
Why not open your old phone and 'borrow' a screw? It works for the Army. The Supply seargent had a technical name for it. Anyone?
hi, you can maybe try getting a screw from another device your not using any more or you can look for one in an electronics store. i think it would be pretty hard to find just one small screw online.

ahhh i didnt't see their price! I just did a quick google product search and did it cheaper than the lowest found there, which was £469 justifying my £459 starting bid
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=htc+mozart&scoring=pd
You might get lucky on ebay either way, I've sold plenty of stuff there for above RRP.
How come you're selling? I played with one today, I really like the form factor. The screen not so much.

Yea got a bid so far! I personally dont like windows mobile 7, android all the way for me. This was the upgrade Orange offered as they dont have the HD for now and so getting this and selling it for one
I'm finding myself in a similar position, I wanted the HD but they have sent me this out. It'll be here Monday also. I imagine there will be more listings after Monday for sure, good thinking on getting that head start. I think I'd rather do that than pay £7 to send it back to Orange.

Exaclty yeah, I want the HD but they dont have it as of yet therefore selling the unwanted Mozart for it. I was the first on ebay but now there are 3 others, one of which was 'highly inspired' by the wording of my listing down to the letter at points lol but my lisitng is at £499 so far being lead by an American, perhaps they cant get this phone right now, VERY curious to see how high this goes!
I intend on picking up the HD from a Phones4u store as soon as the cash transfers

So you bought a new prime with every intention of returning it while your original prime is getting fixed. Maybe you think twice next time or make sure there is a return window.
Considering all the problems with the prime, I am sure you could convince them to tak it back. We were told the same thing about Microcenter, and they took my prime back no questions asked due to all the issues (But in my case we were honestly returning due to the issues)
I'm waiting for the next model - Not worth the cash for a device with issues (Putting foil on the face to improive wifi reconfirmed my decision to wait)
Well that was stupid. Sounds like you need an intervention, lol. If everything works on it, you should have no problem selling it. Maybe even at a profit.

Is it rooted or have any mods done to it

Surprisingly it sold right away. I did take a loss, but it is all my fault on this one. And I'm not a greedy mongul either, so no big deal.

Lol, yeah, CL will get rid of anything with the quickness. My brother called a guy about 15 minutes after he posted a motorcycle up and we had our weekend planned right then
My beloved prime after it was catapulted by my 10 month baby across the room (yeah, she's that strong, we call her Yetti behind her back).
Surprisingly enough, the bad mammajamma is still fully functioning (minus the fact that swiping your finger across those cracks will draw blood, the darn thing is razor-sharp).
Think I can RMA? (The prime, not Yetti)
I tried to nandroid-restore it, but it's still cracked, I'll write a *****en email to the dev with a feature request, "Please make option to restore broken screen or else I'll give you 1 star".
oh, and it made my GPS super-awesome now! I can see 4000+ sats now, some of them I can pick right through earth when they are right below me.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer, I wanted to lock my self in the bathroom and weep like a 6 years old girl who's Pony got hit by a truck.
I'm picking donation for a new TF700, tax exempt.

Dude! omg, it's a brilliant idea, I didn't think about it, I might scoop some clams as a down payment for my future TF700.
So, if any xda members wanna buy fully working prime parts, I'm offering a spring-discount special for xda members only
otherwise I'll list the parts on ebay.
Thanks for the idea mate.

Unfortunately I don't have one.
btw, would it cover reckless-child accidents? I know if a lightning would have struck my prime or a flood or something, it would, though I don't think "my child freesbeed it to the wall" would'nt count (that is, if I'll tell the insurance lady the truth).

@op ...
You could always ebay your Yetti ... i often think about the same.
That just hurts me from looking at it. If you can't scrap it for parts do you think a screen protector would prevent your fingers from getting cuts? If your into programing you can turn it into a test tablet for running and tinkering roms/apps.
Sorry man.
OK guys.. Im about to suck it up and ordering a RIFF box (They're about 150-200 on ebay).
Wondering, IF I do... and I JTAG my DNA, would anyone else be interested in having me do it for them? I'd be looking at trying to get about $30 per phone, and the owner of the phone covers shipping to and from me (First class would be about $3 each way) and I could offer in person JTAGs. (I'm located in Reading, PA).
Let me know... (It's looking like I could have it in under 14 days (all orders come from China)
(I ask here because I did sort of the same thing when the XTC was floating around for some of the older HTC phones and it paid for itself in about 3 months)...
What experience do you have taking apart a phone of this sort? Personally, I'm very concerned with structural condition of the phone after. Are you going to do it to yours when you get it? Maybe post pics?

So glad you asked... Already done..
I will post pics tomorrow... when im sober and with a camera.
Met a gentleman in Philly this evening who had a riff box and some experience JTagging phones (Never did a DNA before.. but, then again, Neither did I).
That being said... Tomorrow, I will post "the secrets to Jtagging and unlocking a DNA (We actually didnt succeed in S-Offing my DNA, but we DID unlock the bootloader, and install CWM)
...The biggest thing I got from it all was flashing the SuperCID as 22222222... Then unlocking via HTC Dev (Full details will be supplied when im less... well, horizontal (Mostly, just a full run down of what we did to get to this point... not sure what parts were redundant or unneeded...)...
\
BUT!!! The phone can, to some degree, be fully rooted after 2.04 by a "general" novice... with some phone disassembly skills and soldering skills (And a $200 Riff box)...

I HAVE an unlocked DNA.. I TOOK the risk of learning how to do this procedure AND POSTED HOW TO DO IT... So, anyone who wants to do it themselves has all the knowledge to get where I did...
As for my "resume"... I wasnt offering one.
And I dont feel the need to prove my abilities when I am simply offering help to those around (and, Ive stated that I would post pics...)...
Only "damage" is on the top... and that's pretty much just because it's not completely snapped back together (Not pushing my luck to snap it all tight as I have to disassemble again and let a little slack out of one of the screws)... The only other cosmetic flaw is the red aluminum sticker above the volume button got knocked off (I need to 3M it back on)
Mind you, this was the fist HTC phone ive ever disassembled... (By deduction, also the first DNA) and it was the first time this phone was ever opened... (The knick on the top near the headphone jack is from me droping it... not from opening)...
Sorry about my finger in 2 of the pics... the camera wouldnt focus on the edge...

who have ordered in tmo store online and received their unit box sealed like tmo local store unit? the first time i ordered online i receive my device in a box that is not sealed. they just place 2 tmobile sticker to hold the box cover. when i open my unit there was a dent and scratch on the back so be aware. make sure when you receive a unit when ordered online, the unit must be sealed otherwise the unit you will be getting is a returned from someone nor refurbished.
just sharing..
PLEASE RETURN YOUR PHONE... do not accept a phone if is not sealed. thats an used one for sure ....contact tmobile and tell them they sent you a used phone when you paid for a new one ...
the box is supposed to be covered in transparent plastic...

that is what i did. i cannot accept a device that has a minor issue! not with the $579 device! if some user here are sticking with some minor issue then it is not me, i always go for the way they advertise the phone. no dead/stuck pixel and a gap. the phone is advertise as zero gap device. but when htc will perfect this design just like the way they advertise it? this phone is one of the best built quality phone at the moment..

every one of us has our own preference about build quality. me i want it just like the way they advertise the device. money doesn't grow on trees.
it doesn't matter if you use case it will not make the gap disappear, it will be there and you know it. and if you're ok with a minor defective device well that's fine with me, that is your device not mine. i just want my earned money to be worth spending on the device.

Its advertised as "zero gap" construction but I agree that people are too anal about it. People sending back all these devices are going to make it very difficult for carriers to replace them if it keeps up.

operating system can be fix by updates.. it is actually zero gaps because it is a unibody device.. everything need to be flawless. people care because they want their money to be worth on spending.what if that gaps will get worse its getting older? what are you gonna do? send it to htc to get it fix? if you are ok with you device with minor issue then that is fine.sharing this to anyone who care not to anyone doesn't care.

Ummm... Pretty sure most carriers ship in open boxes - how else do you think they get the required SIM card in there? All phones I've ever gotten from T-Mobile, going all the way back to the Sidekick II, were just sealed with a sticker.
Same thing with at&t
Same with Sprint
Same with Verizon
And Sprint didn't even use SIM cards back then.

Please search on the Internet how carriers put their SIM cards inside the box and you will see how it works ...
