Hi,

I unfortunately made ​​my THL to brick it :(

After I had created a backup on the SD card in the Factory menu,

I came up with the not so glorious idea still perform a wipe.

Now your smartphone can not even boot into the factory menu.

Is there ne way to bring the device back up and running?

svdoldie

sorry for the bad english

[General Questions and Answers] sam tyler:
Just a quick ask, when you flashed your via ROM flash tool, did you remove the battery? when using flash tool remember only connect the phone to the computer via USB when you select download(and un tick/check preloader ) . Only put the battery back into the phone when when you see the green circle and the tick. then power on the phone. Then use MTK droid tools to back up your ROM,then root the phone and then use MTK droid tools to install cwm recovery. hope this helps you. also look at the w200s thread for root, recovery, roms etc for more advice. Link to w200s thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2646774 and some info how to use flash tool http://www.theandroidhow.com/2014/06/how-to-flash-stock-custom-recovery-sp-flash-tool.html?m=0

sent from my THL W200s/W200c ROM?!

Spigen announced their popular ultra hybrid for the m8. i had one of these for my nexus 5 and it was a nice case.
[One (M8) Accessories] Arthur Hucksake:
Yeah , I like those.

Glad they didnt have plastic between flash and lense... that screws all flash pics, as I have since found out with their other case.
[One (M8) Accessories] shivers316:
That's pretty. Just added it to my Amazon wishlist.
[One (M8) Accessories] jwsm:
Nice. Definitely worthy of the htc m8.:good:
[One (M8) Accessories] thatbimmerkid:
i have the all clear ultra hybrid and it has like a yellow tint to it look in my youtube video, so beware of spigen:

[One (M8) Accessories] GSLEON3:
Yeah, I hated this one, it would ALWAYS set off the bug report capture & drive me nuts. I finally found a very similar case by Ringke, which I like better for many reasons, including having raised buttons, which make finding Vol+ or Vol- much easier. Ringke Rearth Ultra Hybrid.
[One (M8) Accessories] graffixnyc:
I just got the UH inn silver today.. Overall very nice case. Seems a bit better made then the supcase hybrid. The power button is covered which prevents the IR blaster from working but nothing a little razor blade couldn't fix :P
[One (M8) Accessories] chino0131:
Pre-ordered mine several weeks ago. Received it yesterday even though Amazon says it inst supposed to ship until the end of May. I had the Ultra Fit capsule as well, but returned it due to the yellow coloring. The Ultra Hybrid doesn't have the yellow coloring, fits well. Had to immediately return mine though as there was a small crack in the back cover. Overall, pretty decent case if you can go without the IR blaster...didnt try to see if it worked with the case, but assumed it did not.
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
who...so you guys already received it??? :eek:

thought it wasn't supposed to be released until the end of the month.

care to post some pics? I am especially interested in the back, around the cameras and sides as well.

Do any of you guys have the Spigen Slim Armour as well? how is the bulkiness compared to that?
[One (M8) Accessories] chino0131:
That's the Ultra Fit Capsule in your video, not the Ultra Hybrid that is being discussed in this thread...different case. I had the Ultra Fit Capsule as well and did have the yellow coloring. The Ultra Hybrid I had didnt have the yellow coloring.

It shows on Amazon and Spigen as not available until the end of the May, but received mine early. I cant post pics, as I said I immediately sent mine back due to crack in the back. Once I get my replacement, I can post pics, but perhaps someone else will post pics before then.
[One (M8) Accessories] Gja88:
Can we get pictures of this case with the phone on it? And can anyone try and see if the blaster works even though it's covered. (Worth a try)
[One (M8) Accessories] Kurai Kitsune:
I had the ultra hybrid for my Galaxy S4. Loved it.

Really looking forward to this case but would also like to know about the IR blaster situation. It could be a deal breaker as I'm finding the HTC tv app to be very useful
[One (M8) Accessories] graffixnyc:
I can get pics later on.. The ir blaster does NOT work with the case At ALL. You will need an exacto knife or razor to make a cutout if you use the IR blaster. It was really easy to cut out the power button
[One (M8) Accessories] Kypt:
I just ordered the poetic atmosphere since i know how slim it is from my M7 days. Any idea how much extra bulk this gives? Is it closer to the spigen slim or something slimmer?
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
can you please post some pics with the case? I especially want to know how much bulk it adds. I currently have the Slim Armour and want to change it as it adds to much bulk.
[One (M8) Accessories] Kurai Kitsune:
Very interested to know how much of your power button you need to butcher to make the IR blaster work.
[One (M8) Accessories] rgvelez:
mine arrived yesterday, is the soft clear on the edges and the IR blaster works perfect, is thinner than the ultra fit capsule (i have that too) and provides good protection.
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
pics please!
[One (M8) Accessories] rgvelez:
Here
[One (M8) Accessories] b0gd4n:
awesome thanks!
[One (M8) Accessories] Nekromantik:
Is it lighter then the slim armour?
[One (M8) Accessories] rgvelez:
i don't know, y don't have that one, i only have the ultra hybrid and the ultra fit capsule, but it's really really light.
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
Did you test flash with this? My Supcase Unicorn Beetle has more space around the flash/camera than this and I get diffusion.
[One (M8) Accessories] hamlettime:
Which color is that case? Like the creamy opaqueness on the edge bumper.
[One (M8) Accessories] rgvelez:
yes, works perfect, i don't see any diffusion in the pics i shoot.

they called soft clear in their website, it's like a frosted clear
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
Are you sure the Hybrid is thinner than the Ultra Fit? It'd seem otherwise from their website pics plus it'd make more sense if the Hybrid was a little thicker.
[One (M8) Accessories] rgvelez:
yes im 100% sure, i have both cases and the back portion of the ultra fit is thicker than the polycarbonate portion of the hybrid. I can upload a few pics later of both cases. But trust me , the hybrid is thinner than the ultra capsule.
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
Oh I see, maybe the polycarbonate back allows the hybrid to have a thinner back. I was referring more to the edges around the phone. But yeah, pics would be nice.

Other than the fact that apparently the ultra fit seems to have the yellow color problem, which one would you recommend? Which one seems to provide better protection?
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
Where did you find the Ringke case? I can't find it anywhere for the M8. :confused:
[One (M8) Accessories] rgvelez:
well , the edges are the same in both cases , i can recommend the ultra hybrid over the ultra fit, it's more thinner and no yellow edges due to the soft clear color.
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
Good data, thanks. I tend to concur. So any side-by-side pics?
[One (M8) Accessories] Allen`:
I put a pre-order on Amazon for it, they're sexy. I love the Ultra Hybrids.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Can you try taking a picture in low light to see if you get any diffusion? It would be greatly appreciated!

I wonder if this case would fit in a holster, like one of the Seidio ones.
[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
Anyone with a gunmetal htc one and a ultra hybrid.. Which colour have you bought..?

I Was thinking about soft clear or the silver.
[One (M8) Accessories] il buono:
Glacial Silver with Silver Ultra Hybrid

Just received the silver Ultra Hybrid. Looks like it will provide good protection and it's lighter and slimmer than the Slim Armor. There is a small lip for the front of the device.
[One (M8) Accessories] GSLEON3:
Beware bug reports.... Spigen Hybrid cases are notorious for tripping the bug report mailer. If it starts driving you nuts, just disable USB debugging.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I didn't. I have it for the Nexus 5. I assumes they would make one for the M8 as they are making other M8 cases. I do have the Supcase I think, which is very similar, with the raised buttons instead of the flush ones that have a tendency to activate the bug report.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IMBU8C4/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Although it looks like they have now added their stupid logo. The one I got does not say Supcase on it like that.
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
Yeah, they didn't. I actually emailed Rearth and asked them, and the response I got was "Unfortunately we most likely will not be making any Crystal view cases in the future."
[One (M8) Accessories] custo:
The Ultra Hybrid is a fantastic case, but the one I received had a one inch scratch on the inside of the case. Now I have to deal with a warranty exchange...
[One (M8) Accessories] chino0131:
Out of curiosity, where was your scratch? Ive ordered three cases so far, and each has had a 1" scratch in the exact same place. I originally thought it was a crack, but it wasn't all of the way through. It has always been directly under the opening camera (exactly right under the flash) on each case.
[One (M8) Accessories] crushingyen:
My friend and I got the Spigen Ultra Hybrid in Metal Slate and we both have the exact same scratch marks on the inside of the case where you described it. It seems more of a manufacturing issue with the case itself.

Has this been happening with other colors as well? Or is it just the Metal Slate variant that is having this issue?
[One (M8) Accessories] il buono:
Yup I have the same scratch. I noticed it before I first posted here but didn't bother to mention it. I emailed Spigen yesterday. It doesn't really annoy me now compared to when I first saw it, but when you buy something new you expect it to not have a defect.
[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
I hope its not just an issue with metal slate! I just ordered it! :(
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
Glad I didn't pull the trigger on it...
[One (M8) Accessories] kontradictions:
Ditto. I was about to buy one too.

Shame on you, Spigen!
[One (M8) Accessories] rolandhsu23:
Oh wow I thought I was the only one. It is a manufacturing defect. Exact same spot. Exact same scratch.

I emailed Spigen and they said I can RMA the case, but I don't feel like going through the hassle so I might just deal with it.

I suggest everyone with this problem let Spigen know whether they return it or not. They need to know this is a problem.
[One (M8) Accessories] kontradictions:
Post on their FaceBook page. They're very responsive on there.
[One (M8) Accessories] rolandhsu23:
Don't have Facebook unfortunately (Ya i know).

Someone who does should though, with this thread as reference.
[One (M8) Accessories] kontradictions:
There seems to be one person that posted on there already on the 26th.
[One (M8) Accessories] chino0131:
Its on two metal slates that I ordered, as well as the other colors. I assumed it was an issue that comes up when they make them, but hoped they would have worked it out by now. Its not that noticeable, but since I know its there it drives me crazy.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
I just ordered a metal slate also. I'll respond whether or not it's on there once I receive it.

How are you guys carrying the phone in this case? Anyone using with a holster?
[One (M8) Accessories] 19Interpol:
I have it on my silver one too. Drove me nuts at first but over time the case is going to develop fine scratches to the point where this small line won't stand out as much.
[One (M8) Accessories] rolandhsu23:
Oh I was going to order another color too. Guess I'll hold off till its fixed or a better case comes along.

It also drives me nuts too even though it's not that bad. In certain lighting it's very visible.

It really is a shame because the case is amazing otherwise. The plastic is pretty durable, I throw it around and no scuff marks on it yet.

I also use it with the Nilkin glass screen protector and it fits very nicely.
[One (M8) Accessories] custo:
Wow yea mines in the exact same spot. I emailed them and they had the audacity to tell me I had to pay for the shipping back to them to exchange their obvious defective case. I'll be escalating this with Amazon and PayPal if they don't come to their senses
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
I've been thinking about buying this case since it seems one of the best options for a non bulky clear case . Couple of questions to the owners, please:

Is it really thin?

How does it compare with the Case-Mate Naked Tough?

Which color do you think goes best with the gunmetal phone?
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Huh, I thought I just scratched it somehow...I've got the Soft Clear one. Same line, same place.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Surprise! Just got my Metal Slate and it has it there as well.
[One (M8) Accessories] rhe12:
What were these morons at Spigen thinking? That no-one would notice?
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Has anyone received one that doesn't have the "scratch"?
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
So you guys recommend the clear one, hands down? Anyone knows if there are any fake versions of this case yet?
[One (M8) Accessories] rolandhsu23:
Ya I think everyone has that problem. Its definitely a manufacturing problem.

I think Spigen should send everyone affected a new one with prepaid postage to return the old one included.

They obviously messed up with QA. They should be responsible.
[One (M8) Accessories] Michael77500:
Hey, just post to notice you that I receive my Ultra Hybrid today. I have the same problem as everyone here, same line at the same spot...

I bought it on Amazon so I can easily return it and buy a new one!
[One (M8) Accessories] 19Interpol:
Yup you can return it but do you mean buy a new Ultra Hybrid or a different case? It's a defect they still haven't fixed so buying a new one more than likely will result in the same thing unless we all just got a bad batch. I just kept mine though. Got used to it and the phone looks very nice in it.
[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
I hope mine doesn't have it. I should have it in 2 days.. I'll let you guys know if I have it as well.
[One (M8) Accessories] Michael77500:
Yes sorry I meant buy another Ultra Hybrid. :)

I think i'll wait some days and return it to get a new one and hope for a one which don't have this problem!

Below is what their support wrote:

"Thank you very much for taking your time to contact us and letting us know about your concerns for the cases.

The exiguous line near the camera cutout is a mark made from the manufacturing process and will not hinder the functionality of the case. Our product developers are looking into updating the design in the future to change the ideal location for the injection to have this mark be less visible and improve the aesthetics of the case.

However, if you are not satisfied with the current case and would prefer to return the item back, please do let us know and we will do our best to assist you with the return!

Thank you very much for your understanding and we will let you know of any update on this case as soon as possible."

What about you guys ?
[One (M8) Accessories] Xylomaphoner:
I'm a big Spigen fan now. I got the Slim armor case, and couldn't be happier. Well, I guess I could be .1% happier if the Blaster would work with my case, but w/e. Small sacrifice for such an awesome case.

This Spigen case also looks pretty awesome.

[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
Received mine today... Same scratch.

Also there are 3-4 very small dents in the transparent part of the case like a depressed dot.. Too small to even feel. Can only see them in a particular angle in light..
[One (M8) Accessories] alwin006:
Here's a reply I got from Spigen ebay's account a few days ago. (sorry about all this french)

It sounds good, I'm still waiting for my case to arrive.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Has anyone tried making a hole for the IR yet?
[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
IR works fine here... Using metal slate if it makes a difference.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Really! I'm gonna try it then... I assumed it didn't work. I have metal slate also.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

Nope, definitely doesn't work for me. I figured since the power button was covered it wouldn't work.
[One (M8) Accessories] exmobr:
must snatch one up, thanks!
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
So what's interesting is it seems to work but it's pretty inconsistent. For example, I can turn my TV on, but I can't turn it off. With the case off it works every time. Makes no sense to me. In any case, I may not bother making the hole since the case is easy enough to take on and off, or just pry off the top part. If I had kept the Slim Armor I probably would have made the hole since it's not as easy to remove quickly.
[One (M8) Accessories] vari9:
It's pretty consistent for me.. But I haven't used it much... Will test more and let you know.
[One (M8) Accessories] pj1980:
i bought the mint one on amazon and returned it, it looked great on my silver m8 but for me the phone was just as slippery to hold as using the phone bare, i wasn't putting it down on a flat surface because i was scared of scratching the clear back which isn't practical, and on the minor side mine came with a complimentary crack near the camera lens cutout as some other buyers have reported getting.

as much as i like the idea of letting the beauty of the phone show through right now i'm using a speck grip case and that case keeps the phone from going anywhere, i'll see how it goes through my 30 day return policy at best buy. for many this case would be great but it wasn't the case for me.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Anyone has the clear/Silver color case with the gunmetal phone?

Please post your case and phone color combination, guys
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
I came across this when I was researching the case. It's a review of the "soft clear" ultra hybrid with the gunmetal phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW5bZh9wky0 I have the metal slate on mine with the gunmetal.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks, I had already seen that review. Are you happy with your color combination or would you rather have the silver case?
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
I really wish on Spigen's website they had pictures with the gunmetal phone instead of the silver phone since it's the most common and the color that's available on every carrier. Anyway, I do like the metal slate color combo with the color of the phone. When I saw a picture of it I knew I wanted it. I think I saw a picture of someone with the gunmetal phone with matching case and it was fine but didn't grab me like the metal slate did. But I've always liked that color. You could always order both and return the color you don't want.

Here's a picture I came across of the gunmetal with the metal slate: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8-accessories/391867-spigen-ultra-hybrid-case.html
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
It's strange indeed. They call silver to a color that best matches the gunmetal phone and not the silver phone, don't you agree? Returning the case is not a viable option because I pay 6 pounds for Amazon.uk send me the case to Portugal so I would have to spend another 5 or 6 euros to send it back.

Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Ah I see. I wish I remembered where I saw the gunmetal with the gunmetal ("silver") case. I guess you'd have to make a comparison of the pictures and go from there. That's what I had to do since these cases weren't in any stores near me.
[One (M8) Accessories] alwin006:
So bad, guess I'll wait for a new one
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
I wonder if they're going to automatically give everyone that option of receiving a new case or if we need to contact them first.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
I just got mine and love it. Should have get it from the beginning. Seems solid and looks good. Would love of they could make one with a proper clear bumper, I got the silver to go with the gunmetal phone. I have the same scratch under the led, very visible.
[One (M8) Accessories] alwin006:
I just want to let you all know that IR Blaster still works with the case. The signal is weaker but it does work.

EDIT: OK for Silver color, might not work with other colors
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Which color do you have? I have metal slate and mine definitely doesn't. I've gotten used to popping off the top of the case when I need to use it.
[One (M8) Accessories] alwin006:
See my previous post, I just received a Silver case for my Glacial Silver HTC One
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Oops sorry was reading too fast... lol. I wonder if the silver one is more transparent than the others. Whatever.... no biggie. If it bothers me that much I'll make a hole in my power button.

The ir blaster is working fine here with the slate case. Easily my favourite case, and I've got a few!

Really? That's weird. Not sure why it works for some and not others.

Forgot tot add that I'm using sinless GPE rom and the smart remote application, hope this helps M8!
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
You know what's funny... I just tried it again and it worked. It seems I have to be a lot more intentional about what I'm pointing at instead of just pointing in the general direction. Anyway... pretty cool!

I just received my slate ultra hybrid, and I have to say that this case is on of the most elegant cases out there!
[One (M8) Accessories] RAM_1994:
Does the flash work fine?? Or is this cutout too small? I had cases with biggest cutout, but still there were problems with flash.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Yup, the flash works fine, surprisingly. I haven't had any issues. I was concerned about this too.
[One (M8) Accessories] bjkc:
Does this case damage the phone?

I would like to buy this case but before buying I have same questions. I have read that hard cases may cause some scratches at the body of the phone. Does the hard plastic part of this case scratch the metal body of the phone? Thanks.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
I think it does a little, on the borders, especially if you are always taking it out . But it protects the phone very well
[One (M8) Accessories] OGhoul:
You could always throw a skin on. I think that's one of the perks of a clear case, is putting a skin on and not having to deal with the sticky edges picking up dirt.

I just received my gunmetal Ultra Hybrid. I do have the mold line, but it's not that bad. Feels almost like the phone is naked. I can confirm that the IR blaster works through the gunmetal colored rubber. You just have to really aim it.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
I'm about ready to just drill a hole in the power button to get the IR working. Trying to do it thru the case doesn't work consistently. It's easier to just pry off the top of the case and do it, but I noticed the other day that the TPU is starting to stretch up there just after prying it off a few times.
