What kit would you need, mate? Have you seen the "RAZR HD & HD MAXX Teardown" thead in the General subforum? All I see one needs is a torx t5 screwdriver and perhaps a piece of plastic... I would suggest a guitar pick, that's what I've seen people use and that's what I'll be using once I find the spare parts for my xt925.
Are the prices the same everywhere, there's nothing cheaper than this? Is it even genuine stuff, Gorilla Glass on top and AMOLED at the bottom? I'm currently trying to find a bricked HD/HD Maxx I could use for spare parts, but if that fails... Huh

Wow. She is insanely beautiful.
By kit I meant getting the package deal that ranges from 87-107$. I was hesitant about ungluing the original digitizer I guess it is and regluing it for sure it won't be as secure as before no!? As opposed to just the glass that ranges about 11-13$

You got just the display, not the full frontal package? Check this guide out, it's comprehensive - http://youtu.be/LaYU70ivV78
The guy added a few strips of his own tape. It's the double-sided tape, the thin one, you can surely buy it somewhere near by.

I've seen mention of the bumper case in a few posts... is there anywhere to purchase it online? Or for that matter, anywhere to purchase it besides an AT&T store?
I haven't found it on Belkin's web site and the only other sites I've seen it on said it was "Out of Stock". I passed on buying it in the store because it was $35 and I know it isn't worth that much!

I agree it's not worth $35. I bought it at the at&t store the other day, and stopped using it today. The tiny amount of extra width it added to the phone was just too much for me. The OG feels much better in hand without a case. It is a little too slippery, though.

Used one of the youtube vids for dis-assembly. Re-assembly is basically just the same steps in reverse. The most difficult part was lining up the placement of the digitizer on the LCD. If you don't get this right, the screen will not fit properly. I had to somewhat set the pieces together all in place loosely to get the alignment right (lcd sitting in the slot with the digitizer somewhat in place in the front bezel), and then take them apart and secure them together better to ensure a proper fit if that makes sense. My first try - lining thing up by eye - was not quite right. I used some 3M 2mm adhesive I ordered along with the tools. Taking the digitizer off is a bear, it takes quite a bit of patience and a bit of force. Reseating the cables is also a pain, use the plastic pry tool to help reseat, and have LOTs of patience during the whole process. Make sure to give yourself a solid hour or more. I just broke my second screen today with a beer bottle of all things, so I'll have to redo this whole process here shortly. Also make sure the front of the LCD and back of the digitizer are very clean, and the adhesive is lined up properly and not blocking sensors. I didn't do this well, and have a slight bit of adhesive sticking out the bottom side about 1mm into the visible area of the LCD, and the back of the digitizer is noticeably "gunky" in the front camera region, which I think is also causing some issues I'm having with the front proximity sensor. Hopefully I'll do a better job this next time. Good luck!
Oh my Chad.... Lol
Definitely out of my skill.
...any recommendations of what type of phone repair shop I should look into? I went to an iPhone based, but "smartphone" capable repair shop and he definitely didn't know what to do. He said it would cost 70$ and that it would be risky...... Not something I'm about to shell out 70$ for especially when I already have the replacement screen

I've seen a couple places online that you can send your phone to and they'll replace the screen and ship it back to you within a few days. Never tried a site like that tho and could be kinda sketchy but that's an option. Also here in Albuquerque there are tons of Craigslist ads for screen replacement here in town so you could check your city's page and see what you find.
Sent from my Rezound using xda premium
I did this very thing last week successfully with no problems. Follow the repair video by repair universe on YouTube to the letter and you will do just fine. The key is to take your time and make sure the phone is heated enough with the hair dryer or heat gun to ensure that the adhesive comes apart smoothly. Take extra special precaution not to crack the LCD screen when removing the glass (digitizer) from it
If you're not willing to take the chance, you could always send it to me (for free) but I can't guarantee a flawless victory

I see what you did there...
If you decide to repair your screen yourself, there are also four transparent pieces of plastic that you need to put on the new screen.
They are for the capacitive buttons, so they redirect the light from the lights on the motherboard to the buttons.
Unless you don't want lights, of course. (I forgot to put them on mine lol, but I don't mind having no lights)
Also, when you put it back together, make sure to seal it very well on the outside so water doesn't get in and screw up the digitizer. You may have to use glue or something else as a sealant.
Every time it rains, my digitizer gets messed up from water getting in. (crossing my fingers for no permanent damage)

I think I read somewhere the reason its plastic is because the metal interfered with the nfc.

I would imagine so, as plastic allows the signal to transfer through much much better than metal/aluminum!! I know from experience as I had the Asus Prime(TF201), before upgrading to the Asus Infinity(TF700T) which has a plastic section on the top/back of the body. The Prime did not and suffered from poor Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS performance. GPS is so bad that Asus sent out a free GPS dongle to all Prime owners who wanted one. The Infinity is amazing and gets great signal thanks to the plastic strip integrated in to the body.

In addition to what has already been said, our device isn't as popular as we'd like it to be so there's very little in the way of customized aftermarket parts. It's sad really, as it's nigh impossible to even find a plastic door with a different color.

Just thought of this, too: our battery door isn't just a piece of plastic. It also contains antenna strips necessary for our phones to work properly, so it's not as simple as just making molds of the part.

Only the EVO, all of the other HTC 2012 devices with NFC do not have any removable parts or doors. It is however located in the same area.
Actually all the antennas are under that plastic panel IIRC. So using metal isn't really a good idea. People already complain about poor signal using metal for the panel will have even more folks whining.

Safe to do as long as you can seal the inside. Those antenna strips have to be left dry.

Get the Ghost Armor Matte full body protection. I absolutely hated the fact that the back of the phone was shiny (gloss) and the other half of the back was not. So I got the matte protection and its all one flat black matte. Got that on day 1...
I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.

I was actually referring to the Flex Minisuit case but thanks anyways.
Hi ,
After i cracked my digitizer i tried to avoid from paying 300$ for fixing it.
I ordered "OEM HTC Droid DNA LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing" - all the parts are already in one unit and factory glued (Digitizer, LCD and Front Housing)
Making the job less complex - no need to glue anything
btw
I did the order from http://www.etradesupply.com - very fast shipping and great service .
now few tips :
1. very hard to open the back cover of the phone in the first time ( it's glued to the loud speaker - need to be patient ).
2. there are 3 antenna cables : 1 of the wireless , and 2 of the camera flash i think - be very gentle to them, they are very sensitive.
3. Remember to remove the "Ear Speaker" from your old phone - it's not part of the new screen ( I forgot it and needed to reopen my phone )
4. Have fun !
If you have questions, i will more then happy to answer :good:
btw #2
If someone want my old parts (Cracked digitizer - fully working, fully working LCD screen and my old front housing - PM me , will discuss on good price to both of as.
Thanks for the post. I just cracked my screen last week and looking at different ways to fix it.
Does anyone know if they have this same part in white for sale anywhere? I want a white screen on my DNA but all I have been able to find are ones that don't come with the earpiece.
Saw on ebay.. but it without the housing..only digitzer and lcd

I bought the lcd and digitizer separate. Then realized I didn't have the adhesive to glue it all back together. Wish I went the whole front panel way..
Same here, I ended up buying the whole housing pre-assembled. Even when I third to glue it the slightest pull on the ribbon cable and part of the screen is unresponsive.

If you planning to buy the same part as i did, it's more easy.
Basic exp with tools suppose to be enough from my point of view.
Regarding the time, it's took me 2 hours - i had to open the phone again, cuz i forgot to place the ear speaker
For the adverse effects:
Back cover - not loose at all, it's connected with hhard plastic clips.
Volume rockers and power bottom - working as before.
One issue that i found, is the charging led, i forgot to takw it out from my old housing

I also agree the OP has a very misleading title for this post. It sounds like they are saying they separated their glass from the LCD and reused it. This is not the case. Not only did the OP replace the digitizer and the LCD but they also replaced the housing.
Great tips tho on removing parts.

Now I'm confused. I thought the digitizer was fused to the glass, but the LCD is a separate part. I see plenty of eBay listings for the glass+digitizer(with soft keys). You're saying if one were to buy that they'd have to glue it to the LCD? I'm skeptical that these 3rd party Chinese products actually use gorilla glass 2 and the same highly sensitive digitizer as HTC's, including the 5" 1080p LCD would make me even more nervous about quality.

No doubt, but Can Not. That eBay listing has errors. It says the x920e in the listing but it can not be. That listing is for a back cover with an SD card. The x920d and the HTL21 have SD cards and a larger cut out on the top of the back cover. The x920e and the DNA have no cut outs are are a couple mms shorter than the other two. Now this one you can use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290940405280
