I was wondering if anyone had the speaker for the epic. Mine blew and now it sounds like crap listening to music. I talked to Samsung and they said they'd fix it and it'd take about a week. But as of now my warranty is void,rooted and custom rom, I have a pretty good idea on how to replace it. But now I need the speaker. I tried a few places to no avail. So now I am on a quest to find one. Any help would be awesome!

Odin back to stock, and there will be no trace of a custom anything. Then take it in to a Sprint store, they'll order a new phone and have it for you in 2-3 days.
Thanks, I'll stop by sprint tomorrow and see. If all else fails I crack this baby open and fix it my self. After looking at an exploded view it looks pretty simple to get too.

Odin first! And even if Sprint *****es, go through Samsung. You have a warranty, the part failed because of a manufacturing defect, you're entitled to a free repair. Never give up!
OK. I'll try to go the warranty route. Imma tinker, I don't know the software part of androids and cell phones, but the hardware I can figure out! So I try to mess with them some times.

Thanks for your support! But we'll still be here when you get a replacement - probably with an update.
Hopefully w a built in vibrant/fascinate puzzle lock screen since I have no clue how to make it work now.

It's not out yet, but we're looking into it.
Sprint repair centers have the part. They switched mine in about 30 minutes. I didn't even have to give my passcode - just played some music from pandora and made a speaker phone call to show it was busted.

If you have insurance, it's a free repair. If you don't have insurance, it's $35 and probably shipped to the store, you keep your old device until it comes in (1-2 days) and then swap it out when it arrives UPS.

Do not take your phone into Sprint if it is rooted you might get a rep that knows what to look for also remove your memory card because off they will look for nand backups also.

I need to know a convincing argument to get him to not be pissed. I actually got my phone from him and it was under warranty, I was just sick of not being able to do everything I want to.
Can you guys help me out?
hahaha nice...
just tell him you can always unroot if needed
If or when it screws up, flash the official HTC RUU and then it's back to normal. They don't know if it's rooted or not, if they want to see it flash the RUU.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
If he is worried about the warranty, you can always go back to the Spring software by running the RUU from the Sprint/HTC website and the phone will return to the Out-of-Box state... so no worries there.
On the other hand, install a custom ROM (aospCMod) and show him the difference on what all you can do with the phone... as compared to the Sprint software.

Your question has already been answered, just run the RUU to get it back to factory state and magically the warranty's back in effect. What exactly is he pissed about? It's kind of hard to help you devise some type of argument if we don't really know what he's saying since you can undo what's been done. Hmmm...maybe try telling him to stop being such a girl about things and grow a set(no offence to any hermaphrodites who've rooted their phones). If he/she doesn't, refer to my previous drunk post

Tell your Dad that when you master new technology, you are improving your skills and knowledge so that you will be able to secure a well paying job. Tell him that when you do secure that job, YOU will buy HIM a nice new phone!
Try this, used to shut my dad up and leave him pissed with this one:
"When you can explain what I've done wrong and why its wrong, you're a good parent. If you can't explain what I've done wrong you're probably just feeling threatened by my intelligence and natural talents."

run the ruu, show him it is all back to normal, then flash whatever you want, but this time don't tell him about it.

I'd certainly donate.
It's an acer thing...i dont think money will help..
should help if we make a list with people that want to donate for the problem might draw a good crowd...
it might help even more to get enough donations together to buy a device to send to a well known developer. usually where the problem lies is that they do npt have money to go and buy another device since they have already invested in other ones. once a really well know developer gets their hands on the device we have is when big things start to happen. you just gotta find one willing to accept the device and hack it.

Yes, it'd be great to have a custom honeycomb rom especially since the source has not and never will be released (until ice cream sandwich, anyway).
I'd be willing to front some clams for the cause...I'd love a good custom ROM. Thats the whole reason I'm keeping my Gtab even though I got my Acer...I like to tinker with stuff and see what happens.
I was thinking about this myself the other day, but I've heard that XDA frowns on this behavior.
I pledge $25 USD to the first dev that unlocks the bootloader.

I actually have a slightly damaged but fully functional A500 that I would be willing to borrow out for a few months before I jave to sent it in for the insurance claim. I even posted the offer right up here with rather unenthusiastic replys.
If anyone knows a suitable candidate, my offer stands.

A fully bricked Epic certainly is a rare occurrence in the wild... I only remember hearing about issues with that one twilight kernel in the froyo days, and some mention of a bonsai beta (the sad thing about the bonsai incident was that those users had to pay to get that brick-maker...)

Hey I have a working phone. Extra phone and replaced the screen myself, an Epic 4G. Planning to sell it. I want to sell it
if its not compatible i dont think odin would even install it would it and even then you still have odin to fix it unless you manage to wipe out the recovery... did you manage to find a bricked epic i am just curious...
since upgrading a while ago to my current Galaxy Nexus, i checked my Desire HD before getting ready to sell it off, and discovered while it was sitting gathering dust, at some point it died.
I've researched a bit, and found it has the "7 vibrations" behaviour upon trying to boot. I'm happy with my galaxy nexus, soon to be replaced with a Nexus-4, and i loved the Desire HD the whole time i had it. it was a good run.
So if any one could use the spare parts, or clever enough to un-brick it and get even more use out of it, i'm offering it up to a good home.
Just respond with your interest, and maybe a little about why you want it, especially if you're a Dev as i'd love for it to go to the most useful person that benefits the community as a whole. I'll give people a week to respond, then i'll choose the candidate i feel best serves the greater good
Enjoy !

Why everybody is stating that their devices are bricked? a brick is lifeless and so should be the device. A messed bootloader should not be fixed by flashing a RUU. That can definitely bricked the device.
Messed bootloader have been a big issue since the GB update. Fix for it can be found in the guide in my signature, thou does not work for all devices and bootloaders.
