I chose the Carbon Fiber series skin with an Orange True Color Accent, so this review may not apply to every skin series they have available.

Design: Dbrand hit it out of the park when designing these skins. I've used skins on all of my past devices, and none of them were every "perfect." They always had an edge that didn't line up quite right, but with Dbrand the fit and design is honestly perfect. Every port and cutout lines up precisely, and the the step by step guide on youtube that they have is very helpful, and allowed me to apply the skin perfectly on my first try. The carbon fiber feels awesome in the hand, and it provides a much needed grip to a rather slippery phone. With the skin applied, I feel comfortable using the phone without a case, something I usually do not do. The true color skin adds a splash of color to your phone, and has an interesting texture. It is plastic-y but it has an almost orange peel feel that I personally find very comfortable in the hand.

Durability: A common misconception about these skins is that they are going to protect your phone like a case would. They aren't. Skins are great for protecting from scratches and even a minor fall every once in a while. I think the main flaw in dbrands skin for the G4 is the fact that the skin does not cover the sides of the phone, only the front and back. Without the inclusion of a side piece. the phone is very susceptible to scratching, and it provides no protection when dropped.

Conclusion: For $18 ($10 if you just want the back covered) it is a great value for someone who wants to change up the look and feel of their phone. For someone who wants protection and a new look, I can still recommend this skin, however not without a clear case, such as the ringke fusion. Dbrand offers excellent customer support, and a plethora of options to choose from. If you're going to get a skin for your phone, Dbrand is the way to go.

I got the matte black one and its very good
[G4 Accessories] Ramsey:
Which one provides more grip? and by grip I mean, when your hands are cold and you hold the device and it won't slip.

How is that one? Is the feel like matte cases where it makes it non-slippery? Make sure your hands are cold before answering :P. Heat makes plastic stick to our hands.
[G4 Accessories] mfun89:
Carbon fiber for sure. I always use cases, and the added grip makes me comfortable enough to go caseless

Hi,

I am writing because I have some problem with my Qtek S200.

I have downoladed on this site a new ROM wm6pdamobile, I have installed it, and now my pda is blocked on a white screen.

When it starts appears the normal HTC page, the check of OS, GSM etc., and then.... nothing... only a white screen.

What I can do?

How I can format my pda? It doesn't works with active sync, because it can't take a valid IP, and so I can't reinstall a precedent ROM version.

Please help Me!!!!

Hello ALL!

Here is the long awaited HTC Tornado ROM kitchen

This Kitchen is in actual fact the Molski DEVPACK kitchen but its been MODIFIED by myself, Duke_Stix in order to be compatible with the HTC tornado and to make rom editing and cooking easier for EVERYONE!

Please note, before anybody starts pointing fingers, FULL permission was obtained from molski himself before any modifications were made and full permission was obtained in order for me to release this kitchen as the initial kitchen was of course, by MOLSKI!

This was the first kitchen that i learnt to use so it was the first kitchen i modified!

There will also be a modified CORE kitchen released soon too once i can iron out any and all bugs.

Anyway:

Pretty simple to run really. heres a few instructions to get you all started:

Download the attached file: Molskis_Devpack_modified_for_tornado_by_duke_stix.exe

READ THE PDF FILE THAT IS IN C:\DEVPACK\tools\batch\readme

Here are steps:

1) RUN the executable file, you should end up with TWO folders, DEVPACK and Molski.biz Devpack. MOVE the 'DEVPACK' folder to the ROOT of your C: drive.

2) Place ANY nk.nbf that you wish to 'unpack' into the source folder of the DEVPACK folder. so.....

' C:\DEVPACK\source ' Contains your NK.NBF file

3) Go to your desktop and into the 'molski.biz devpack' folder, this has lots of little shortcuts in it.

4) first of all, click the 'dump rom' script.

5) Let it do its thing

6) in the C:\DEVPACK folder there should now be a new folder called......ROMDUMP! (<-- guess whats in here?!)

7) Edit as much as you wish, dont forget to get rid of the first two bytes in the initflashfiles.dat file before you build rom again

8) once you've clicked the 'build rom' script go back into c:\devpack\tools and in there should be nb2nbf_tornado.exe

9) open that, dont touch anything atthe top apart fro the output field, here, I would suggest selecting your desktop and you MUST issue the file name as 'nb.nbf'

10) below that click the tick box next to 'File #1:' it will allow you to select 'file #1' point it to c:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP and to the file called 82040000-OS.nb

11) back in the nb2nbf program select 'OS' under image name

click translate

go to your desktop, move the nk.nbf file there into C:\DEVPACK\tools\RUU_2001

run the 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe'

and away you go! should start flashing

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE README FILE! i will also attach it to the post

also, anyone willing to donate can send any paypal donations to rani0786@hotmail.com and reference them 'duke'! very much appreciated!lol

ENJOY!

AND DO NOT FORGET TO READ THE README FILE!!!!!

HAPPY COOKING!

[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
Looks like duke stix forgot to add a rename command in the batch file.

The wizard NBF WDATA start address for the OS is 80040000 and the tornado WDATA start address is 82040000, so rename 82040000-OS.nb to 80040000-OS.nb and it should work.

Customized ROM hanging in spash screen

Hello Duke,

I am currently in the process of customizing my own ROMs from other user builds thanks to the tools you provided. I am having problems though...I have used multiple nk.nbf (different os) files and dumped then rebuilded without modification just to make sure I have the technique correct. That is without modifying initflash or hv files and going right to rebuilding after dumping and I am hanging on the first screen. I then need to manually go to bootloader for reinstall.

I then checked with my modified ROMs following pdf religiously (ie deleting first 2 bytes and leaving last empty line-initflash...and adding REGEDIT4 and leaving last line saving as unicode-rgu...following instructions provided) and yet I continue to hang on the first screen.

Do you have any suggestions??

Thanks again,

vjgrace

Well I am doing that for the past two days ... but still cant figure out !!
[HTC Tornado] burkay:
There are a couple of things you need to do, but I don't have links for each of them, so you need to find them in this forum and do them yourself:

1. superCID you phone. unless you do this, you can't flash your rom. at least that was what happened to me.

2. download one of the roms, I am using the VA_alpha rom, which quite stable and functional. you may use the others as well. but I recommend VA_alpha for now.

3. Follow the instructions specific to the rom you downloaded. Basically you need to connect your phone to the usb, connect via active sync, then run the rom update file and let it do its thing.

4. depending on the rom you used, you may want to add some extras after flash. especially phil's version needed lots of things to be installed after the flash. VA_alpha has almost everything in the rom, so you don't need to deal with many things after the flash and start using your phone immediately.

Have fun!
[HTC Tornado] imfloflo:
I install Phil's rom and nothing else and my phone is Ok and i can do anything for a basic use. (phone/sms/pic)
[HTC Tornado] burkay:
well, as long as you want a basic phone, you don't need to install any extras. After all, this is why they are called extras, right? But then, if you are just looking for a basic functionality phone, why bother yourself with upgrading to an alpha operating system?

oups, I miss it :p

PDAVIET and Gullum are great, but if one of you could fix the wifi "catch" (sorry for my english) i want to say " don't have to play with power button to catch my home network"(maybe a regkey for detection timming), it would be difficult for me to make a choice between PDAVIET or Gullum (maybe the perfect one with GPV(GullumPdaViet)"touch"TNT1.0 ;) )
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] smarvest:
Why choose HTC X-Button

Hi Gullum,

After tested HTC X-Button and InClose Mobile. I find that InClose is a better software because it has more functions and options to hide excluded applications and rotate, reset, screen off etc.

Perhaps you should include this as the prefer application instead of spending more time on HTC X-Button.

Cheers

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Hello,

I've moved your thread to the correct section to find help. :)

Please look here to find the recovery.img

Download the 4.25.654.18 Full Firmware from RUU (fastboot flashable) and the recovery.img can be pulled from that.

Good luck,

Sloth
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
I don't have s off so I can't flash firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
He didn't say anything about flashing the full firmware. He simply said to download and pull the stock recovery from the file. You can then flash the recovery via fastboot commands (you do not need to be S-off to do this).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
What Magnum_Enforcer said above is correct.

BTW you can flash firmware if you are s-on...it needs to be signed firmware and you need to re-lock your bootloader :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
Will replacing twrp uninstall supersu or should I do that first? I kind of want to unroot too.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
No it won't. If you want to unroot and go back to the stock recovery I recommend running the latest RUU. This will put your phone back 100% stock and unrooted with the stock recovery. The RUU thread can be found below.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
Can't I just put it on my sd card and hboot it from my bootloader? Because I thought you were supposed to do that with a zip file version
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
It's a .zip file so there is no install instructions, am i doing something wrong?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
This is the RUU.zip you want to use.

Edit: you need to re-lock your bootloader before running the RUU.

Instructions for flashing from hboot:

-using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card

-boot into bootloader

-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button

-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update

-press volume up & let it do it's thing...

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
How do i check md5?

Sometimes if you are not using 7zip it will give you the corrupt message.

I use WinMD5Free
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
Md5 said it's good but it says it's invalid
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Are you putting the zip you downloaded or the zip you extracted from the downloaded zip to your ext sdcard?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
it won't let me extract period
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Weird he gives 2 sets of instructions.

Use this

Rename to 0P6BIMG, copy to ext sdcard, boot into bootloader, flash from ext sd card
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
well i guess im screwed
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Meinls:
Is it just a bad file then?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Did you rename it correctly?

0P6BIMG.zip the first letter/number is a zero not a letter "O"

Also make sure it is 0P6BIMG.zip and not 0P6BIMG.zip.zip

Have you tried the RUU.exe yet?
