Pink is also available

[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
Just IMO, someone has to have a really poor taste to get the pink. It looks ridiculous :P
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
Just purchased the Blue housing from aliexpress. Do you guys know if these are actual OEM products?
[One (M8) Accessories] alwin006:
I think they are original, my red housing feels like and looks like on the inside just as my original housing.

Don't worry about quality, It should be fine :good:
[One (M8) Accessories] Zubeplanet:
Hey dude really nice what you did to your phone. i have a question. did you used new glue for the speaker grills or the old and if you used new. can you send me maybe a link of the glue
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
To anyone that ordered from aliexpress, how long did it take to get it?
[One (M8) Accessories] GottaStayFly:
no need for new glue, the way the grill is held on is by double sided tape, i believe there's a link somewhere in this thread that actually had a link for that double sided tape, but pretty sure you wouldn't need it since the grills you get should already come with it applied on it.

depends on the shipping you chose, id recommend paying for the better shipping service cause it takes way to long.
[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
To anyone who might be interested, I just collected my m8 from the service center (they changed my housing for free :D ) the technician is my good friend, he invited me in while he was almost done reassembling the phone. He told me that scratching off the adhesive from the speaker covers isn't advisable, because they are actually transparent (or translucent) and the color comes from a coating under the cover, which we all know isn't metal, but plastic.

Interestingly, he also said that the m8 is more difficult to repair than the m7, only because, many times, the camera modules of the m8 don't get detected on the board, and it's a fiddly process to get it working again. Thankfully, I have a fully working phone, with much clickier buttons now ?
[One (M8) Accessories] RedXXII:
Here's mine. Took me a little bit as they didn't send me the speaker grilles or the card trays the first time around.
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
Looks awesome man.

I just got my blue casing in and put it on. Looks great except...

WARNING!!!

To anyone that buys a new housing for their M8, MAKE SURE when you're putting it in the new housing that you put the bottom of the phone in first (where the charging port and headset jack are). DO NOT start at the top.

I started at the top thinking it was necessary to hold the power button in place and got to the bottom and the charging port is hard as a rock and will not budge to get in place. I now have a brand new housing already knicked at the bottom from trying to make it work. Had to pry everything back out and start from the bottom and it was 100x easier. There is a guide out there somewhere saying to start at the top. DO NOT DO THAT.

Besides that, the housing is awesome. Fits my Sprint variant perfectly. Got the NFC chip moved over and everything. Will post pictures later.
[One (M8) Accessories] Zubeplanet:
Anyone tried mixing the original silver htc with a blue back cover, so that the front and the simcard tray is silver and the back is blue?
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
Blue M8 from aliexpress
[One (M8) Accessories] andybones:
I also would only want this.

dark green would be better but we can't get what we all the time. :)
[One (M8) Accessories] otariq:
Are these aliexpress covers just as prone to scratches like the OEM gunmetal one? My original has a bunch of small scratches from just setting it on tables and desks (both the paint and camera lens) I want to replace it but don't like using skins so idk if I should go through the trouble if the new one is gonna get scratched up just like the old
[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
They're the exact same

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Get the other colors except gunmetal, they'll be difficult to scratch..
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
As far as I know, the housing on Aliexpress are OEM.
[One (M8) Accessories] kxlling:
Has anyone seen a full clear housing? One where you'd be able to see everything in the phone, kind of like the old Nokia phones when you could replace everything. It would obviously have to be mostly plastic, but would be interesting to see.
[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
Nope, you won't get one, this is all OEM stuff
[One (M8) Accessories] kxlling:
Ok, thanks.

All the ones that have been changed look amazing, great work. It just makes it that much better since it's not a normal option for most, stands out more.
[One (M8) Accessories] otariq:
Not really oem though is it since HTC doesn't even offer the phone in these colors
[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
HTC offers the phone in all these colors, they're just exclusives or not available in many regions.. They're perfectly OEM [emoji14]
[One (M8) Accessories] Musti222:
Really god job to all! You made me do the same! :D

wasn't that easy but worked!

because of the shipping to Germany i bought mine from ebay from a german shop
[One (M8) Accessories] kxlling:
I went ahead and replaced the gold front covers on my h/k edition with the gunmetal gray, it actually ties in really well with the gray trim on the back.
[One (M8) Accessories] dmqeaz:
how do you think, will there any m9-look housings for m8?
[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
There won't be.
[One (M8) Accessories] edios123:
I too have the Harman Kardon version and I'd like to change the grills. Is it easy doing? I mean really easy? Because I don't want to damage anything while doing it.

Will these work? Seems to be cheap.

The easiest part. They're just glued.
[One (M8) Accessories] paul_viado:
finally got the time to do the replacement... Gunmetal Gray At&t to Glacier Silver carrier unbranded..
[One (M8) Accessories] gustav30:
Looks great!

Any tips you can give?

What was the hardest part for you? I'm personally worried about screwing up the plastic housing.
[One (M8) Accessories] paul_viado:
being my first time as well i say it was 2.8 out of 5... 5 being difficult in the difficulty scale.

like you i was worried about the same thing, i didn't rush per say but i definitely could've done a better job

be sure you have a fair amount of sturdy plastic pry tools i.e like guitar picks. make the first insertion and SLOWLY and PATIENTLY make your way around.

you can't tell so much in my pics but there are certain small areas of the black trim that i ended up deforming just a tad because of my prying.

other than that everything else is pretty straight forward..the prying off is the hardest part of it all.

just time your time and be patient. hope that helps.
[One (M8) Accessories] gustav30:
Did you use a hair dryer or heat gun to get speaker covers off? If hair dryer how long did you give each side and what tool did you use to pry those off? Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] paul_viado:
Hair dyer a couple minutes each took a small thin razer blade for the initial lift and the slowly continued to lift.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ehfida:
Please help me! Is that come with sim and sd card trays http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KXSUOAK/ref=pd_aw_sim_cps_1?refRID=13HRWFFG6GKA4MP8VVGP and what tools I need to do this replacement?
[One (M8) Accessories] sdotagain:
Silver with the black trim looks nice.:good:
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
Took the plunge myself and bought the red housing from ebay. Comes only with the speaker grills but the way that i have it set up i think i might just get gold trays. Right now the gunmetal trays that came with my phone also give a nice contrast.

Shown also with a love mei el-cheapo aluminum bumper.
[One (M8) Accessories] n1234d:
The more I see the red, the hotter it looks <3

I still feel that red looked just a little better on the m7 though, the black sides gave a very nice look
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
I thought the power button had to be held in too, but i stopped before i was able to do any damage to the cover. For anyone that is having problem getting the thing on without the power button moving, you just need to have the casing upside down, then slide the screen/phone up in to it and then press the power button end in.

Gravity is a very handy tool.
[One (M8) Accessories] WarCow:
Holy cow, that looks sexy as hell :) I agree that it would look great with gold trays..getting a little Iron Man theme going there ;)
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Bored of my black now so I've just ordered the red :)
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:

Check out the thumbnails below. I only hope my ageing camera captured how good it looks in reality - which is stunning! :cool:
[One (M8) Accessories] gustav30:
Looks awesome! Wish I had the guts to do that!
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Honestly it's not difficult but you do need to have a good balance of patience and confidence! Plus the right tools for the job. This was my second swap so I had a good understanding this time round. Hardest part is getting the top and bottom speaker grills off as that requires heat to soften the glue. Last time I used a hairdryer, this time I was more daring and used a small gas soldering iron with a heat blow attachment. Whilst that sounds more brutal, it's actually better as you can precisely direct the heat. Beyond that step it's all unscrewing and prising open.

Incidentally, anyone trying this I suggest looking for one of these Lego brick separator tools. It's perfect for the job.

Personally, I've always ordered my parts from Aliexpress. Great range, competitive pricing and considering China to UK, usually pretty swift delivery. I've never had an issue yet.
[One (M8) Accessories] squigga:
Sorry to bring up an old thread but has anyone here who's ordered them noticed a difference in feel? Do they look a little different from the original casing? How do I know which to buy and which not to. I want to order one for my gun metal m8 cause I dropped it and got some annoying scratches. Will the gun metal look different? Is it still brushed finish?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I've had both a black and a red one from China and I cannot find any real noticeable difference in look, feel or build from my original gunmetal grey. Or if there are, they are very minimal. The quality is absolutely fine. I'm not sure if they are just good copies or what, but no doubt they probably roll out of the same factory as the originals anyway.

Original left. Aside from a few more stamps and markings on the original, hard to tell.
[One (M8) Accessories] cindy-wu:
What i post is a Chinese supplier, the price is very reasonable. Just recommend it for you. Maybe the next time you can save time. Because Aliexpress has so many stores and the price is different. You may need to think it over and over. A good supplier will save u money and time.
[One (M8) Accessories] Pikezer1337:
Hey man when you ordered speaker grills did they come with adhesive or did you use something else to adhere it once you put the new ones on?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Comes with adhesive already applied mate. Just peel off and stick.

[One (M8) Accessories] Lobster!:
Can somebody help me find black speaker grills? I can't seem to find any, and I really don't want gunmetal gray ones anymore.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I don't think you'll find pure black ones. HTC don't have a model that uses them. The Harman Kardon black model had champagne coloured speaker grilles. Closest you'll get is grey.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lobster!:
Are you sure? What about this one? Cause I looked on Ebay and they do sell black ones but every account is out of stock :/
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Yes I stand corrected. Did not realise the M8 EYE had black ones. I've not seen them myself.

Edit: some listed on Ali as 'black' but no knowing for sure if they are:

Hi guys,

I wanted to change my scratched battery cover but the service center asked me 260$ to do it!!!

I'm going to place an order to Aliexpress for a new battery cover and I will follow the ifix guide and all the previous posts to change it.

It seems to me that there is no way to get a battery cover with Ncf antenna included..is it right?

thanks to all

[MENTION=5039407]Chris_c81[/MENTION] or anybody else for that meeter..

I am getting m8 in few day's (130€ all working, just the housing is in bad shape), and I've already ordered new back housing from Aliexpres..

Now my phone has creaked camera lens.. dose it come with the housing? Did yours?

I'll be probably ordering front LCD also, is there something that I have to be careful for when I order? Any tips?

And my main concern, is the IR blaster on housing? I mean not IR but the black plastic on the top? If not, any ideas where can I buy it?

Thanks.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Hey mate, to address your points:

- Yes camera lens comes with the rear housing.

- I've no experience replacing the LCD but check iFixIt's Teardown for a guide. I think it's a whole lot trickier then just a simple housing replacement.

- The black part forms same part as rear housing so replace the rear housing you replace the black part also ;)

Good luck! :)
[One (M8) Accessories] Bucika:
Thanks mate!! :) I've already saw the guide on iFix it! I'll give it a go!

Will report and post pics, when and if it goes my way! :D
[One (M8) Accessories] ext109:
I made my phone blue couple days back. Went pretty well! Only problem is that I accidentally did damage the black trim around the body, which I thought was part of housing so didn't treat with care. Is there any (easy) way to fix it?
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Unfortunately not. I nicked mine in a few places too but on the whole, minimal damage. It forms part of the main guts of the phone so its not an easy task replacing it.
[One (M8) Accessories] h8rift:
Yeah, its a separate piece. Seems like the m8 is three pieces deep:

Display

Mid-housing

Rear housing

The mid housing handles that black plastic trim. I got one from aliexpress and didn't end up using it.

If anyone would like it, I have it up on Swappa's boneyard. Comes with gunmetal speaker grills.

Know that it will be a fairly in-depth process to remove those cables under the rear housing to free up removal of the mid housing. Review ifixit's guide thoroughly if you plan on doing this

replacement.
[One (M8) Accessories] ext109:
Something else I've noticed on the blue M8 is that the speaker covers look very plastic-y and glossy, which does not match the rest of the body AT ALL... Does anyone know of there's a more authentic looking one available anywhere?

Sent from the One
[One (M8) Accessories] bombo_b:
You are referring to the midframe/bezel here.its the part of the m8 that the display assembly is glued to. And also all the phone parts are attached to it: battery,tap speaker,Cameras,sim and sd slots.

Not a diy repair unfortunately.

If its dented just gently shave it with a razor blade (i said gently)

Hello guys!

I'm new here, and i find very good this website!

I want to ask if some you can give me the ROM about this phone NOTE3 N9006 MTK65982, I bought from aliexpress on the store HAIXIAN TECHNOLOGY

I update the phone first time today, with a rom gave me the seller, but this make brick the phone. Infact it not turn on. Only off.

I tried also many rom from needrom.com, but no way, flashtool says me : BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032), so I know this is why the rom is wrong.

So I was wondering if someone had already bought from this seller and had the original rom of this model...

However, with a broken power button, that could make things difficult because you have to get into fastboot mode and if you can't boot to run the adb command to do it or use the button combo, then that could be tricky.
