Replacement of glass and/or touchscreen digitizer

I hate to be that guy, but the Glass is glued directly to the screen. You are better off replacing the screen and glass at the same time. It is possible to heat the glue and remove the glass from the screen, but the odds of breaking the display are really high.

"mbrady, that is not correct. The glass is actually not entirely glued to the screen. it is simply glued along the perimeter only. The glass digitizer has a layer of clear plastic sheet in its outermost layer that is directly above the LCD screen. The trick is to gently poke the glass digitzer at the edges. As you do so, you will notice the glass digitizer creating an air space between it and the screen. If you are able to carefully tear in only one section, preferably the corner of the clear plastic sheet, then you can create a handle, which you can pinch-hold to peel off the glass digitizer. Incidentally, if your glass digitizer is cracked in to umpteen glued fragmented, it actually makes it easy to peel off the rest of the glass digitizer cleanly.

This is an instruction prepped from experience, I did it exactly that way. Now if only HTC would have a clear opening for the glass digitizer interface cable so that i can insert it through to connect it to the logicboard. The reset is cakewalk.

Good luck."

Easy fix. Buy a heat gun electricians use (Milwaukee) makes a good one. Buy at any electric supply or possibly home depot. Takes 4-5 seconds along outer edge of glass and it comes off easy. Hard part is putting digitizer cable back thru slot without damage.
