Go Get 'em Dinc!
Let us know how it turns out. Somewhere deep in the forums, there was a breakdown video/images if you get stuck. Am sure You Tube has some video also.
I remember a post somewhere, a few months ago, where a person changed the display. Seemed you have to be really careful when you tighten the screws (I assume), or you get dead spots on the display. He had to re-tighten a couple times to get it right. Probably all have to be at the same tension.

Thanks bud ill keep what you said into consideration plus my cousin owns a store called the Pod Drop© which fixes pads and phone's mostly ios but he said once I get the screen to bring it so he can help. So soon I'll be back creating my miui rom that was started but halted due to the circumstances...
If you can help me port it to the 501 once I get a stable build id really appreciate it!

Cracks on the side? **Updated**

Hey everyone.
I've had my phone for about two weeks, its been in a rubber case since undoing. I removed the case today to clean the screen and found these 3 cracks in the side of the case. What should I do? I've been very careful with the phone, its never been dropped.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

**Update**
Alright, after much back order and delay, I got my replacement Evo over the weekend, free of charge (it was past my 30 day return). Its a hw Rev 3 Nova just like my last one too. Im glad Sprint did the right thing, maybe knowing this will help others with the same problem.
On a side note, the nice lady that was helping me was taking a long time to port my number over to the new phone. I asked her if everything was alright, and she smiled and replied "Yes, the phone activated just fine. Now Im downloading the new android update for you." ahhhhhh! I kindly asked her to stop ASAP and told her I would apply it later. That would have been aweful, stuck with an unrooted froyo.
Anyways, just thought Id share. Good luck to the rest of you having this problem!

If it has never been dropped or abused, I'd suggest returning it. There's no reason the plastic should be cracking on its own. If anything, something went wrong with the way yours was manufactured.
The cracks are at equal parts down the side of the phone, and then theres an extra one. I have been super careful with this phone, its not been dropped, nor does it have a single scratch of any type on it anywhere. It's in mint condition.
Has anyone else had said problems?

Anyone else having this problem? Will the Sprint store exchange my phone because of this?

I'm taking a dose of the only cure for flashoholism...

This phone is draining my time and killing my soul. Selling it before my wife chooses to sell me. There are more important things to focus on in my life. Already changed back to my faithful Env3. and busted out my 7MP point-and-shoot camera. Ah, the good 'ol days
PM me if you want to make an offer. Close to mint condition. A few minor scratches on the screen that happened before I applied the screen protector. Can't really even see them. Stock battery. Everything works great. Currently running MIUI, but of course you can flash what you like. I can throw in an 8GB card. Offers via PM only, please. I live near Houston, TX if that means anything to you.
I'll post to Ebay and transact it that way if it makes you feel better, but I'll have to take a slightly higher offer to cover their gouging commissions. As of now, it's not on Ebay.
You can see from my post count that I'm not new to XDA. This is legit.
Moderators, let me know if there's a more appropriate place to put this. I figured it was pretty 'general'.
dude thats bad you can't control yourself with that phone?lol instead of getting rid of it you should prob seek help.
lmao @jager. Its not unusual for someone to get obsessed with there phones, they are amazing and can do everything.
He doesnt need to seek help, he saw there was a problem and he fixed it, dont troll

LOL! Yea right.
Look...I am tempted nearly every minute of every day to check this website and get the latest thing. The surest way to get rid of the temptation is to get rid of the phone. I've already reclaimed a few hours of my life just in the past couple of days.
No takers yet. I guess I'll post to E-bay
I have a friend who might be interested. I'll check with him. What would be a general idea of what your looking out of it? (PM me if you don't want to post here please)

sorry but what do you mean i am "screwed" is there nothing i can do
According to said thread, nothing you can do short of sending it back to Samsung for a motherboard replacement.
Its under a 1 year manufacturers warranty. Make up some dumb **** story and send it back in. Thats the advice I got for my SGSII. "Tell them you were on the phone, it started to get stupid hot, and you did a battery pull." If you play a story well enough they should offer a replacement. Or check out mobile tech videos.com and see if they offer a jtag service for the note. Furthermore, if they do, you will want to contact them and explain and see if they could help before sending it in. Good luck, I know how upset I was when I bricked my SGSII.

thanks for your reply but alas i cannot do something like that as it would be considered as fraud and with my job(solicitor) i do not think that would be appropriate
i am very angry about this mind you, iI have read the disclaimer and understand the risks but after reading about a bit it seems like this rom has caused a lot of problems

Looking for recommendation on buying one of these

I keep seeing these things go for less than $50 on Ebay, all of them stuck in recovery or at the Acer logo, etc. I'm looking at snapping one up since it's praised soy well on here.
What do you guys think?
What are my chances of unbricking it?
Some are almost new condition.
I figure for $50 or less I can always take out and sell the digitizer, LCD, battery and get most of my money back. Or I could buy one of the cracked ones and get one good one still for under $100.
Any questions I should ask the seller?
Also any good recommendations for a keyboard and case in 1?
I'm pretty experienced with the whole rooting/ flashing scene, but I don't even try developing.
Thanks in advance, though I'll hit the thanks button too.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk
Yep some of them can be unbricked but you'll probably need the cpuid for that... some of them could have dodgy chip issue, only a new mobo will fix those ones....
Might wanna have a good read thru the guides in my sig specially the first two - things are done quite differently on the Acer compared to other android devices.
Don't think u can go too wrong grabbing one or two of these tabs as long as you're fully aware of the pitfalls...someone was saying new mobos on eBay for 50$...u could go into Acer refurb bizzo...as far as I know there have been no other reports of hardware failure other than the chip issue
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
A new MB on eBay will also be anywhere from $60-80, so for the initial $50 + new MB, you'll have a pretty decent 10.1" tablet for ~$125 + 20-30 minutes of elbow grease that will run JB, ICS, or a couple of flavors of Unix. I love it because it has a grown-up USB port for an external drive (I load movies on a 2.5" SATA drive and carry it in my briefcase).

Man, wish I was in the States to pick up on some of these! Could un-brick them, then re-sell them on the Moscow Market for a couple hundred!!!!!!
The 500/501 is basically bullet-proof, unless you physically corrupt the internal memory. And that only happens in a small percentage.
The UID can be obtained via a linux environment. But with all unbricking methods, some work where others don't. And sometimes you have to have a little indepth knowledge of android and linux.
Once that's done, just a matter of finding the sweet spot.

I have no knowledge to unbrick or repair one of these wonderful tablets. Had it not be that way I'd buy one without any doubt.

Picked up a mint bricked A500 from a local cash converters for 20 quid (GBP) Took about 30 minutes to sort the problem. Now I am the happy owner of 2 A500's. One running Our man Civ's ICS, and the other running Thor JB.
Job done. :victory:

Sorry guys, while I understand this is a good price for a good service, we can't allow any exceptions to our forum rules. We don't allow members to use XDA to advertise their products or services, so I'll have to close the thread.
If anyone is already in the process of a transaction, I'm sure it can be completed via PM.
