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.

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?

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...

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!!

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

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...

Hi,
Has anyone purchased one of the HTC 8525 OEM housings from cnn.cn. If so what was the quality like and are they new housings? None of the re-branded TyTn's seem to use this housing so I'm wondering if they are manufacured specifically for, or by, cnn.cn?
Also, what are the service and delivery charges like from cnn.cn.

Thanks in advance.
I bought a blackberry case from them and it arrived in 8 days. Great service for 5 USD in my opinion.
I'm curious about that tytn housing unit too.
They have taken it down for some reason.
O was gonna try it.

8525 Housing
I might as well just add to this thread
You guys think this is worth a shot? The last owner of my phone jacked up a couple parts of the current housing.

That'd look great on the 8525. You may want to check this out for a step-by-step guide.

Judging by it's looks, it only works with Hern100 devices (8525, m3100, etc) and wont work with the TyTN. (herm200)
I could be wrong though.
The D-Pad layout is a bit different, but if you get the D-Pad
http://cnn.cn/shop/cingular-8525htc-hermes-outside-keypad-p-1610.html
and what goes under the D-Pad, you might be able to get it to work.
But that's kind of not worth the effort though.
I am yet to find a stylish housing for my tytn. It's all scratched out but I hate that Dopod housing.
Since there is no flipping way, HTC is going to make the original housing available to anyone, it would have been nice if someone came out with a more stylish design.

I'd love to pick up an all black housing like that but it has one thing that keeps me from doing it.. the front facing camera hole. since i have an 8525.. it would just be an open hole on the front of my phone which would look dumb and get lots of dust inside.

I have one on the way..
is it really hard to get the original HTC grey version? I've seen loads of the dopod versions, some with some without the video button.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290143857315&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019
is htc but dont know if button configuration is right for hermes 200 (Anyone confirm this?) does that have video button??
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....PageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015#ebayphotohosting
Its the closest one ive seen to mine but branded CHT DOPOD
Ive seen people ask htc to replace it but had no sucess. Its really annoying considering we all dont keep the phones forever and selling them off is harder when you cant get the original housing replaced.
that black htc housing DOES have the video button but the layout is different than the herm200.
the red hangup button and the green phone button are not on the right place on that case.
I have taken my tytn apart. What goes under the D-Pad in herme200 looks different than the ones in herm100. Even if you did get that case and the right d-pad, your buttons wont fall on the right spot. therefore the phone button and the hangup button wont work.
I wonder if HTC repair center would replace the housing.

Anyone find a htc dream style housing not like the tmobile g1. ive searched on the forums and on ebay and nothing .
Hi, ive tried hunting as well to find the original HTC Dream housing in Black, the one without the T-Mobile branding below earpiece and has HTC written instead. Ordered one off ebay (after majority if not all were T-Mobile) but arrived today and was T-Mobile, emailed the seller and hope they can supply the HTC one I want!
Anyone know of somewhere we can get this specific housing, as pictured in my attachment?
Thanks
You have to get a rogers Dream housing. I'm using a Rogers Dream, and mine is exactly like the picture. (On the battery backing it has the rogers logo though)
I'm thinking about taking mine apart and painting it.
Good news! I found that if you get a rogers dream housing, then google "htc dream accessories" you will eventually find a website that sells a replacement backing that says "powered by google" which removes all branding! I just ordered one myself and changed my splash so now there's nothing left that says rogers on mine.

I saw these on eBay a few days ago, you should give them a try and post back about the quality/ease of installation. I myself haven't purchased or tried it before, so uh, buy at your own risk haha
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I did a bit of research on replacing the G1 housing. It looks like that these after-market housings often aren't made as precise as they should be and therefore fitting all the tiny parts in the G1 perfectly becomes difficult and even risky. Also, the installation procedure is very time consuming and if you aren't careful, you can permanently damage your phone. Again, buy and try at your own risk.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what type of housing must I purchased to change completely my tilt2's housing? There are couple of housing types on ebay and I'm really lost in all these. Anyone has experience changing a Tilt2 housing to a Tilt2/Sprint/Tmob/Verizon/European Touch pro2 - please give some advice?
Thank you very much.
bump
would like to know as well have t-mobile version and would like to change the housing to maybe a sprint or generic htc.
Not sure what you mean by housing. All I can find on eBay is cases and plastic covers. These are designed to go over the phone, not replace anything. As far as these go, the Tilt 2 has a button the TP2 does not have, so you would need one that is specific to a Tilt 2. FYI, I bought one of the clear covers and they are junk. Not only do they make the phone much bigger (too big to fit in my leather case), but they make the phone much more combersome to operate. The top half is flimsy and gets in the way of accessing any screen elements near the edge like scroll bars and the TM button.
Try here http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-pro2-rhodium-c-277_881.html
the sprint/verizon housing won't fit on the gsm variants (at&t, tmobile, etc) because they are different.
dont know about interchangeability between the gsm variants other than if you put a european front housing on a US one, you'll have a whole where the front facing camera goes.
Has anyone actually replaced their housing with one of these?
I've been looking at one of these <link was supposed to go in here but for some reason it's not letting me> but not sure how hard it'll be to pull the TP2 apart...
It's at eoem.cc under the TP2 (Black & Red Housing Set)
Has anyone actually replaced their housing with one of these or the previously mentioned one?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Troy

HTC has offered at least three versions for worldwide market.
One as GSM vesion - you have checked one min-USB on mobile bottom
One as T-mobile version - you have found overall outlook difference from Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. Don't think T-Mobile housing applying into Sprint, At&T and Verizon.
One as CDMA version - for Sprint difference from GSM, you can find USB section to be difference.
In sum, all of housing are clearly defined service providers. However, somer parts between AT&T Sprint and Verizon can apply for each others, except T-Mobile.
A Verizon case fits the Tilt 2 with exception of PTT button cutout missing. Going with thin hard plastic rubberized coated case ($5 eBay from ittrimming's Verizon case) and cutting slot for button easy task.
