Interesting find, to say the least. I wonder what it is though. iFixit's pretty thorough, and I can't imagine they'd miss any obvious way into the casing...so whatever this trick tool is, it must be fairly clever (which could mean either brilliantly simple or...well, not. )

Only that the tool costs about 1 million dollars. Those bastards. I know people enjoy the kind of design like apple, but I prefer those that use screws. I opened my touch diamond after it dropped on ground and display didn't work. I plugged the cable back in, and it worked again. Well, that old day is gone.
I had 3 refurbished Ones, all with separate problems. I assume they did not have this magic tool.
It probably not a "tool" that you can hold or have shipped to your house.
It's probably a 1 ton machine with precision heating elements and clamps. None of that knifing crap.

Hopefully this tool is effective and reliable. My phone's main board has to be replaced, so they'll have to open it up. Now that I know they have a special tool, I have the right to raise hell if they send it back all screwed up.
bump
looks like someone has found a way to open it with minimal damage it seems

basicly what you see there is whats underneath the 5 buttons on the bottom on the HD2. Atached to that should be whats underneath the rest of the HD2 (a large curcit board so to speak) FUBAR in my opinion.
IM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BRO!!!
So sorry so sorry.
I know it sucks. I know.

I have suffered same thing before. I had to buy hd2 for parts just to replace!
It's very easy to try and remove mainboard without lifting latch for terminal. I had already taken mine apart three times before I forgot about it on fourth try and I heard a "pop"...I **** my pants, cried and got to looking to buy one for replacement parts.
I am currently looking to buy hd2's so let me know if you want to part with it.

Rule #1. Don't ever give your phone to a pissed off person... exhibit A attached.
Instead of replacing it with a new Captivate I went with the HTC Aria.. maybe not the best choice, but I think it will do the trick. I like the size, and GPS actually works out of the box. I plan on frequenting the XDA Aria section.
I'll prob try to sell my busted up Captivate on eBay, for anyone that might have bricked their own phone. Other than the screen the phone seems to work without issue.

hope you had insurance.......
poor , poor cappy...
What's the problem? That'll buff right out!
Wow that pic made me almost cry!
It's like watching a snuff film D:
Edit for helpful-ish answer: Hope you were paying for the insurance =/ I don't know where you'd go about getting replacement glass, and standard manufacturer's warranty won't cover physical abuse like that
This is gorgeous. The only problem? It has Blackberry OS all over it stinking it up to high Valhalla. Put WP7 on it and I'd run you all over to get to it.

not bad, it actually looks nice
now it'll take a real test drive to see if it can actually type as fast as the older keyboard design
Why the hell would you want to have WP7 on that? Small screen, physical qwerty to make absolutely no use of your epicly smooth keyboard ... And you can run all over my cat to get to that thing, stupid expensive. lol

LMAO! hahahaha...I have two cats.

I will admit, that is a pretty sexy device ...

Yeah, both of my girls are special to me. My older one has a puking issue also. I have to keep her one food and never alter it. Any changes and her stomach can't take it. My other one is a female Garfield. She's a garbage disposal. Wherever there is food being eaten, her little eyes will be watching it and she will make sure everyone sees her. She's a little butterball.
Yeah, designed by Porche is definitely a plus.
Let's see the modded back of hTC One M8 trying to be alike hTC 10
The story begins since the phone felt down and got some scratch, and soon he realizes he has to do something and with the inspiration from newest hTC flagship, he had spent more than five hours to make hTC One M8 back looks alike our newest, hTC 10. So surprising !
Work done by a Vietnamese hTC Fan and he called it's a hTC 18

Neat.
What tools did he use? It actually gave me an idea to polish my whole, scratched up phone.
he was asked to provide the instruction video already, since it's available I will post for your reference

Looks like op won't answer about how this was done.
So if you don't want to risk ruining it even more and got few coins to spare i recommend you wraps from dbrand.com
Ugly just like htc 10

Is it the phone or the case? What's that ring? I don't have that on my pixel 7

"And it burns burns burns the ring of fire."
I'm fairly certain that's a magsafe compatible case charging ring reason than it is a "Pixel 7 [itself] is starting...fire hazard" device issue/reason....
You're lucky Google is giving you anything for it....that is most definitely not Google's fault as a manufacturer; there is no way this is a Samsung Note 7 exploding issue nor has there been any news/public statements claiming anything like it -- I'm fairly certain you may have misrepresented it as such, but they still sent something to appease you, so I imagine you should be happy at that (even if it doesn't quite cover all the medical bills that have resulted by this)....
Yeah, I understand the phone got hot causing the magnet to heat up but it wasn't designed for this. Depending on how that magnet works in relation to things like reverse charging, that wasn't something Google implemented to be used. If it was a factory Google case then I would understand. Like I said though I do see your point. I would suggest anyone who's able to root, flash a custom ROM like lineage and you won't deal with any of these heating issues. Android 14 also runs a lot cooler because it doesn't have the issue with pixel launcher anymore, at least it seems that way so far.
