If you are in UK, I am offering a free Jig service for members. With it you can get rid of the triangle on start-up if you rooted your phone and you can get in to debug/download mode if you can't use the three buttons.
You will have to send me your usb data cable, with a self addressed postage paid packaging, which probably cost you about £1.00. And I will free of charge solder a 300k and 1k resistor on two points and send it back to you.
It's hand made and looks a bit crude but does the job, see the pic bellow. I will leave other two point open so you can join them when you need the jig or unattached for normal data use.
This offer is exclusively for members only and one jig per member.
I will not be responsible for what you do with the jig or what the jig will do, I will also not take any responsibility for lost or damaged in the post to or from me. All the risk will be yours.
If you are happy to do this then send me a PM for further details.
PM sent.
Thanks

It is actually not a resistor he is soldering on that wire, it is a chip that will steal all your data from the phone and wirelessly transmit to him. The wireless chip is short-ranged, so he is offering this only in his country, the UK.
thanks
p.s. I am joking, the guys is just doing a good deed.
I tried to search but got no information. What exactly is this Jig and how do I make it. (Seeing that I have more than a few μUSB cables lying around)

hahaha nice one mate
Resets your Download Mode counter thing. But people think there is a hidden counter, counting the times you've reset the counter.
/brainf*ck
I've already got a jig from ebay so I don't need this, but kudos (and a thanks) to the OP for this. Nice one mate.
Yes exactly as the qwerty warrior and others said, and this is my way of contributing, do on to others you expect to be done on to you, kinda thing. Also makes it easy for those who might not have other equipment handy, like soldering iron, solder and resistors. Or not capable of doing it themselves. There are many more reasons.
Lol @kreoXDA, the phone has all the chips build in to it for that sort of thing, and it can be worldwide thing if you install a rouge app.
Thanks for the support you all, maybe some mod can make it a sticky so everyone can see.
P.s. And if anyone doesn't want it for free, you can always make a small donation to me, which I will use to further contribute to the community.

It is not as much fun doing it the rogue software way, as it is doing it the old fashioned spy-chip-disguised-as-an-innocent-resistor way
For donations you would want to edit your XDA profile and add your paypal address (I suggest you set up a throw away paypal address because the email will become public via the paypal donation, I think)

My plug broke, the little plastic piece that separates the pins finally gave out and not knowing I plugged in my USB cable and bent the pins. Now my phone doesnt work. It boots up but beyond getting to the Today screen is un-usable.
Can I open it up and just replace the port? (any tips on where to buy the part, I have the tools already Im sure and am willing to solder really really really small connectors. )
Or am I stuck buying a new phone?

Hey bud..
Sorry to hear that issue , as a Sprint Store & Repair Tech Mgr I would leave it to a tech to get workin on it.. If you want to you can sauder it and try to fix the pins but you run he risk of uniting circuitry when you put back together..which will completely kill your phone.. Suggestion: Repair Center or Insurance.. last option uprgade or purchase a new phone..
this is definitly and absolutly the wrong thread man. you are asking a hardware question of a specific phone on a software developers side ?!
so please accept the rules, because some people here have enought of junior posts like this. Read thread one ! although i wouln'd event post it there.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
Can you ball park the cost of such a repair? I dont mind paying, but if its close to the same cost of picking up a used phone on ebay (~200-250) I'd rather just get a new phone.
Thanks!

That is the part you are looking for right? The little USB female portion of the phone?
It's kinda expensive and risky, good luck with your repair, I hope this helps!

That is the part indeed, and you've just answered my lingering question! lol it would be cheaper for me to get a used one off ebay. If that part costs 50 bucks and a service tech would take at least 1 hour to fix it I'd be looking at a little less than just buying another. I appreciate all the help with this.

A 'One Time Use' XTC Clip, to put it bluntly.
The only drawback I see is when it has to be shipped from hong kong all the way to belgium. Clip + shipping costs + credit costs will still be to much for me, I suppose.
Does anyone know if that clip can be used for other devices as well?

don't worry there will be distributors in europe as well especially around the german, netherland, belgium border

it's fizically not possible without hardware to offer a permanent S-OFF solution, at least not in this moment.
and also don't forget, it's a gold card creator as well. plug in the micro sd, choose device you want make a goldcard for, press "create goldcard" and 10 seconds later, you're done.
this package will include all the cables etc needed right?
Hey Raskal, Thanks for bringing us this solution, Theres noone near me in Belgium that has this device.

08/10/11 - Doomlord has purchased a replacement X10 for further Dev, THANK-YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED
Update 03/10/11 : SETool unfortunately unable to fix Doomed X10, the hunt for a replacement continues. All suggestions welcome as it is in our interest to fix this ASNAP.
PLEASE HELP THE REPAIR EFFORT IN ANY WAY YOU CAN, CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO DOOMLORD - THANK YOU.
Click here for Doomlords' thread in Q&A regarding the problem.
One of our greatest Devs (DoomLord) has managed to brick his x10 (in the name of development) and unless the costs are significantly small enough to be worth the repair - the phone will not be replaced by another X10.
That said i thought it would be in all of our interests to open this thread to see if anyone has a "spare Parts" x10 that "might" help fix the problem. Or indeed encourage users to pool together to help.
Doomlord - i hope you don't mind this, if you do please let me know and i will request it is closed.
@ALL XDA X10 owners, it has been mentioned that it might be the motherboard that needs replacing.

Hello all. I was member dolce davinci until I asked to get my account closed. the reason I wanted it closed was to get away from xda.
My deal with mycomouterisjunk left me with a broken one s. HTC charged me to get blackrain1983s amaze fixed ( thankfully he is covering half the cost ). both deals are solved but I am left with a damage phone and my bank account in overdraft.
And the bummer of all, usps denied my insurance claim on the one s.
My reason of making this thread is to ask for donations. please, what ever you have will be appreciated . the LCD for the one s is $160, I am not asking for the whole thing but any little monies will help.
I still don't have a phone, I am using black rains amaze untill I ship it in a couple days. some members offered to donate phones but since i closed my account that didn't happen.
I know u guys might want proof that I am DOLCEDAVINCI and I will post some later, we still have a power outage in the DMV and I am on a phone.

Did I miss an election where you were appointed to be a spokesperson for all forum members?
Well here's how I see it:
You sent the Amaze to the guy and he said it was bricked. HTC did NOT honor the warranty meaning there was something wrong with it like water damage or dropped or something. Then the One S arrives to the other dude with a cracked screen. Both deals looked kinda shady. And it should not cost that much to fix an LCD/Digitizer/screen assembly at a 3rd party store, maybe at HTC it would be that, check around bro. Also, you said blackrain was going half on you with the Amaze right? so you're not out TOO much. I say sell the One S and buy a cheaper device, or trade it for a Sensation or something as-is if you can.
You then ask to have your account disabled because you want to steer clear of XDA, but create a NEW account to ask for donations for deals that looked shady that you're already getting half for on one? That is serious nuts dude.
"I want to stay away from this site, but changed my mind to come ask for donations because of my bad decisions"
That's just unsavory bro.
And yeah I might be coming off as heartless, but I did donate to jcash and I do help out when it seems warranted.
Just my opinion, you can think on it or chew it over or throw it away or whatever.

"Who gives a f***?" can actually mean that the person who said doesn't actually care and not necessarily implying that NO ONE cares, although that implication is also a valid interpretation, so the possibility exists he meant only to communicate (quite emphatically and bluntly might I add) that HE does not actually care and did not mean to infer that no one on the boards actually cares.
I am still battling it out with HTC. I had my card on file from when I wanted to get a replacement battery but that doesn't give them the right to charge me. everything went like it was supposed to be fixed free because they didn't even alert me through email but there is a hold in my account pending removal from HTC USA for 249.99.
after long aruing through email, black rain sent me $140 but out of that I still have to send the amaze to Jordan with express ( or else there will be no tracking ). I am not asking donations for HTC repair cost. I am trying to get to get rid of it . hopefully its an error because when I track my repair status it doesn't show any update.
I posted here because I can't see the market.

Just call HTC and ask if you're being charged or not, sounds like you're not even being charged.
With the shipping to Jordan, find out from blackrain if no tracking is ok, or work something out, maybe he'll help for shipping (since he agree to pay half the repair cost that may not even be charged).
It sounds like you can work this all out so you have a phone and everyone is happy without having to solicit donations here, the fact that you don't want to be on XDA but came back just to ask for donations looks bad too.
HTC wouldn't just charge you for ****s and giggles. I remember my sister broke my N1 and was hoping they would just replace it since they already had to replace the screen twice for faulty hardware. Well they decided I would have to pay for it and they sent me multiple emails and even a certified letter until I responded.
For legal reasons, they won't charge you without documentation of you agreeing to the costs and terms. They might put a HOLD, but they won't charge you. I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend once at a hotel I was not staying at and they put a hold for $100 on my account, but only ended up charging me the actual cost (something like $40-something).
You can just go to your bank and tell them you didn't authorize it. They will remove the hold while they investigate.
Problem solved.
Now can a mod please close this pathetic thread.
