Have you tried it yet?
I just ordered a new Hermes Replacement housing from cnn.cn, however I haven't received it yet.
If you are ordering one just make sure you order the right one for your phone.
For instance, the TyTN replacement body will not work on a 8525 and vise versa...

I was looking over the cnn.cn and from first looks, it seems like the 8525 OEM black housing will work with the TyTN phone.
Is it confirmed the two will not work with one another? They are the same identical phone but with out the front camera on the 8525. If anyone will or has tried let us know.
I haven't tried, but I doubt it would. If you compare the positions on the different buttons - you can see that it the buttons doesn't correspond on the two different models. I'll buy the housing for TYTN to be sure it fits.
Wonder if they supply a instruction manual with it... Anyone knows?
The 8525 case that cnn.cn has for sale shows a front camera hole but no video call button which is something I would prefer, but where do you get the d-pad from? For those looking for a disassembly of the hermes have a look here on the wiki.I think there could be a really good combination of part to make a really nice looking hermes.
Dangnabbit.
I just ordered that Black Housing, but didn't notice the lack of a video call button. I hope it wont matter during installation on my Xda version
I've replaced the housing on my Vario ii for that of an SPV M3100 with no problems whatsoever - it was really quite straightforward. I kept the t-mobile directional pad as I preferred the look of it.
Changing the housing on a model of hermes with a different layout however is not so straightforward as it involves not only changing the keypad itself but also the little pcb underneath which is slightly different between Herm models.
it is certainly possible to replace the slide mechanism, keyboard and backplate between ANY model of Hermes, and some nice combinations are possible. I have a vario ii orange backlit keyboard if anyone wants it.
chinaonnitrous1!
Let us know how it went
Thanks!
they carried 2 housing...the only different is the key pad layout...so pay attention to the key pad...
This company is very slow in responding to email. I send them 2 email about a week ago asking for shipping date...yet no respond
Thats interesting, I ordered something from them on thursday, I got an email withing hours saying it had shipped with a tracking number...
As for the keypad layout, if you wanted to use the Black case you would have to also find the keypad to match it, as well as the PCB that goes beneath. cnn.cn has the parts for the TyTN, but not the 8525.
Maybe someone with good dremel and case modding skills could make it look good though.
Does anyone actually have the Black HTC TyTN that they were supposedly shipping? I was going to get one, but then everyone convinced me not too, I'd be interested to see some pics though.
I'lll get the housing withhin a week.
I'll post pics and everything.

Thanks mate!
chinaonnitrous1 any news on how it went ?
I bought from http://cnn.cn/shop a case for 8525 and the external keyboard because I have a SPV M3100. I am waiting for the package and I'll put some pictures of the case. I hope the quality of the case is ok.
I just received my new TyTN case from cnn.cn. It is a dopod branded case, slightly different colour than my original TyTN case. I guess I would call the colour "graphite".
It is definately an original case off of a phone, it still has the old IMEI and Serial Number on the sticker on the back.
Build quality is good, it doesn't look like it is off a used phone. One thing I noticed however was that the silver metal on the front was slightly pulled up, and there were some adhesive remnants on the side of the case. I'm sure it will clean up fine with a little solvent though.
I haven't replaced it yet, I am waiting on a new keypad circuit board (mine is fried, you have to push it ridiculously hard to get it to work), and I will open it up then and replace everything.
Ordering from CNN.CN was pretty good. Shipping was $5 CAD, and it took about a week and a half to arrive. A signature was required, but there were no fees or duty.

Hi, I'd be interested in the keypad, if it's still available? I've dropped my VarioII and the keypad is slightly bent lol
where did you get the replacement body from?
Cheers
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get spare parts for the TyTn. I've managed to crush the plastic cover over the camera If anyone would be willing to sell me the spare part from a bricked device then I would be very grateful.
They have a Dopod housing here for $53 US

Softbank 2MP Camera Part
I am looking for a camera replacement part for my Softbank. I was the part that caused my Softbank to display totally WHITE SCREEN.
Here is the story:
Last five months I accidentally dropped my Hermes on the floor carpet and when I turned it on, it displayed all WHITE SCREEN. I tot the LCD screen was the culprit and bought some LCD for replacement from eBay. I dismantled everything and tried to replace the LCD but it resulted the same WHITE SCREEN. Then I dismantled the Jog Dial and the Camera and reattached part by part. The jog dial caused no problem but the Camera showed positive result on WHITE SCREEN behavior. Now I dismantled the Camera and my SOftbank X01HT works like a charm... Well almost like a charm with no 2MP Camera... LOL...
So I am looking for the part also to put it back on my TyTn...
Hi guys,
Do you know where can I get the TyTN VGA front camera?

Broken ATT 8525, Touch screen totaled
I was taking photos and drop it right on the face. I was using it as a iPod with a unregistered go phone sim card till I did a Master Reset and now it's a paper weight because I can't do the start up BS. Touch screen is totaled but the rest of the internal parts and battery are good, front cover don't look bad, back is great, have 2 stylus and a hard metal case for it too. PM me here and we'll work something out, Paypal OK. Vince
It's a paper weight to me, I'm not going to put money other than shipping is someone wants to send me a screen for the joy of it, if I fix it I'd just give it to my sister anyway. I'm happy with my Tilt and I'm ready to move on to the Fuse soon, thanks for the replies!!

Need a replacement motherboard (main) for HTC TYTN
Friends,
My HTC TyTN has problems with some connectors right on the main motherboard..... I would like to know if anyone has any spare HTC TyTN which is completely broken and can be usable for its spares......
Also, if any one is aware of any site where I can get the mani motherboard...it would be really helpful.
thanks
Milind
I am interested too in a motherboard of Tytn. I have problem that a connector (for a screen flex cable) on my motherboard is damaged. Is it possible to fix it (for example to change that connector with a new one)? Does anyone know how to do so? I really need help...
thanks in advance
If you are looking to replace your 8125 case here's an excellent deal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360011196557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=023
I've purchased one of these and it includes all the buttons. The antenna cover already had the antenna installed. It even included the black rubber gasket around the display. All I had to move was the ear piece and the vibrator.
I don't know if they are take offs but mine was in A+ shape. They don't include the back cover.
Awesome!
Beats paying $50+ for a new shell...
My only question is; can you move the MDA circuitry to the 8125 shell? Seems logical, seeing as both are the same hardware.
Great find... They also have the wiz200.

I bought one from them and sent a message to them that there was a chip in the corner of one of the pieces.
In the auction listing, it states that they may come damaged but should not affect working order.
So...be aware that there may be cosmetic damage.
They were kind enough to send a replacement, which I should be getting in a few days.
Hopefully, it will be a new piece.
Update:
These guys are great....well in my case anyways.
In the previous post I mentioned that a had a chipped corner on the housing and requested a new piece.
Well, those guys sent out a whole new setup..this one was in great shape....dont know if it was new, but looks practically brand new.
There was never any questions on their end...they just sent out another one.
I would recommend them highly. Great customer support.
O btw, I told them I would send the original one back...they said to keep it.
WOW...top notch guys.
I just ordered one of those cases i'll make sure to let you all know how it comes when i get it!
Very Nice... there were a few minor scratches on the corners and buttons but other than that the housing i bought for my wizard was in great shape! no battery door cover tho
can some post a pick of the how the device looks in this housing?
got mine. no back cover, no screws. so what, do i use the screws from my wizard shell to close the new 8125 shell?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7409Gq51RFE
Gotta check this out.It's alot cheaper than others.
Thanks
I got a Wizard 100 (Cingular Branded) shell. It looks brand new.......not one scratch on it. It didn't come with a battery cover though
Ordered it last night...Should be here middle of the week.I hope it's in good condition.
anyone knows where i can get some extra screws?
i was about to assemble the wizards guts in to the new shell, but the keypads dont line up, if i go along and assemble, i wont have use of the send call button and the end call button, and some other buttons as well
Good Deal
The one they sent me was in great shape!!!
I just ordered a shell for my T-Mobile branded Wizard 200....I hope it will be practically new like the Cingular Branded Wizard 100 shell I ordered earlier...
Well last night was a good night. Playing pool, using msn and sending a few texts when... the shiny new HD went waltzing out of the palm of my hand and then... WHACK... right onto the edge of a table eek denting and chipping the damn front housing. Not ammused one bit
So my question for you boys and girls is... a front cover for the old Touch HD. Does anyone know where to get one from please?
Tried several chaps in Hong Kong via ebay but no joy.
Guessing the answer to this would come in pretty useful to more than just myself who has suffered this kind of cruel fate

you can buy from me for completely at $150
HTC TOUCH HD T8282 BLACKSTONE HOUSING+CHASIS+COVER

anyone in the UK selling these please? thanks
and that priceabove is quite high! you can get the cover and digitiser for $10 more on ebay.
Saw a complete housing @ brando for $ 79.50, so it's far cheaper than ugn53's.
Shipment seems cheap also.
BTW, never bought from brando, so I have no experience with them.
I've bought Screen protectors from Brando in the past. Their website is trustworthy.
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Hope it works out. (I'd die if the same happened to my HD !)
This is why i insure my phones... i pay nothing luckly due to my contract but 6 quid for others and it covers accidental damage and loss. I have used in on my old phones (Kaiser and Hermes ETC) i have a 15 quid excess....
Insurance???
I have Orange Care to but... how can you wangle it so i can get one on insurance for something like this? Surely you'd have to tell a porkie somewhere along the lines, wouldn't you?
Nice but not quite right...

Sadly mate, if you look at the contents of that package, it says nothing about a FRONT cover... have a look.......
Features
Replacement housing for your HTC Touch HD.
Package Contents
One middle chassis
One back cover
One battery cover
Nice effort though!
Sorry for you mishaps but at least it didn't hit your screen...
Insurance...
... so that was a decent idea. If anyone fancies doing what i did should they get into this situation, i just rang orange SIM upgrades, registered my new SIM, waited 10 mins and then rang through to Orange insurance.
Told them i simply copied my contacts over and upon switching SIM's back while i waited for my new one to be activated, the brand new HD, due to being very shiny and a little bit slippery (weell thay are a bit, aren't they!) wen right through my hand and hit my desk leaving a very nasty dent with a rough edge.
£15 quid later, a new one is out to me between 9 and 1pm tomorrow
Happy days are here again! lol
*THINK* Now, should i stick the Orange ROM back in it?! LOL

No need. Told em i did the sim swap as they told me to for insurance purposes and it fell out of my hand due to being shiny and handed on the edge of my desk. That's the truth... almost! Cost me 15 quid but hey, i was in credit anyway so no biggie!!!
me sits in teh corner and cries - little un decided it would be fun to scrape my phone face down across a stone fireplace - no insurance = unhappy zoomee.
Balck Stone Service Manual
Hi
i am facing a similar problem mate , my HD slipped out of my hand and bang hit the asphalt in the street , the bottom part of the front cover got a nasty dents.
I went to HTC care center in Dubai and they confirmed i cant replace the frame alone , i have to replace the whole LCD . Check page 88 of the service manual.
The cost of replacing it would be 234.128 USD (860 AED).
i wont pay that for a dent , at least for the time being , the device is fully functional.

I'm curious, was it actually a new handset?
Because Orange tend to just give out refurbs.
HI, I'm looking to order a new screen online and replace it myself.
I see lots at very reasonable cost on ebay and alliexpress. I'm just wondering if some of them are not original. In fact not all the suppliers even say that the product is OEM. They say things like 'if fits your G5 perfectly' which seems an odd think to say in any respect. I'm in west europe so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate. A supplier from UK rather than China would be great as I need it asap !

Well i live in the UK and have ordered a new screen off ebay twice, neither of them claiming to be OEM and they have worked perfectly. First one experienced screen burn after a while, just like my OEM screen. Second one i currently have is perfect no screen burn and personally I can't see a difference in screen quality compaired to OEM.
One thing you absolutely MUST do is buy a screen that includes a FRAME, do not i repeat do not buy the screen without the frame pre-glued to the back. I did this with my first screen and i had to rip the frame off the old screen and glue it onto the new one. Makes like 100x more complicated.

HI, thanks for that. I'm in Ireland and intend to buy from a UK seller as no one sells them on ebay Ireland. Would you mind to tell me the ebay shop you bought the good screen from without the screen burn, I'd greatly appreciate it!
And yes you are right , buying with the included frame makes perfect sense as I've noticed they don't cost much more than the digitizer alone and would make the process so much easier!
