Possible to swop TMO TP2 with generic HTC TP2 housing? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories

Hi there!
I've a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 that is quite beat up & I want to replace the whole housing.
Problem is where I'm living right now, the T-Mobile housing costs double of the standard Touch Pro 2 housing.
Is it possible to fit the motherboard, flex cable & LCD panel of the T-Mobile onto a HTC Touch Pro 2 casing with the power button?
I would need the touch screen & call/navigation buttons as well.
Please advise me if you know anything about this.
Thanks!

Dopod 838 Pro replacement LCD.

Need help!!!
Smashed my LCD and orded a replacement from HK. The part number they sent me was 60H00037-00M. After installing it, all I get is a white screen. Sent it back and recieved another one with the same number and again the same deal!!!
The part number Im chasing is 60H00056-00m or TX0704APAA1. I think it is a mfg by Hitachi.
I cant find anything with this part number on the net and was wondering if anyone knows if there is an equivalent that could be used insted.

Are you sure that your connections are secure and lined up properly? I replaced the screen on my 8525 and the ribbon cable was not connected properly the first go round. It is the one with the tiny screws.

Teknics, are yoy refering to the two incy wincy screws that fasten the ribbon to the d-pad at the bottom?

Yes that cable, but also make sure the ribbon cable that slides into the locking connector on the main board is in properly also.

I am looking for a TX0704APAA1 for my HTC Tytn.
Apparantly this is the Hitachi model other models are also available on ebay (Samsung and Toppoly). As I understand Samsung and Toppoly are not compatible with one another apparently they use different controllers.
As for the Hitachi I have know idea whether it is compatible with Samsung or Toppoly, which is why I am on my quest after the Hitachi...
Anyone know where I can get one?
I think this one might work.

The 60h00032 or 60h00037 did not work on my dopod 838 pro.. I just got a white screen.

Faceted Backplate on VZW Touch Pro

Just trying to find out if anybody has been able to install the iconic faceted "Diamond" style back and replace the flat back on the Verizon Touch Pro. Does it fit?
I was thinking of buying one off ebay.
Searching around I was only able to learn it wasnt compatible with the Sprint model because of slight body diffrences. The Verizon model however, does feature the sharper square corners.
I can tell you for sure that the Verizon Diamond cover Will Not work on the Verizon Touch Pro. The squares are the same, but it isn't thick enough (extra thickness from the keyboard on the touch pro.)
I tried this when my Touch Pro touch screen broke, they let me use a new Diamond temporarily until a Touch Pro became available for warranty replacement.

Will Euro Touch Pro 2 battery cover fit on T-Mobile Touch Pro 2?

The reason I ask is because I personally prefer the aesthetics on the Euro Touch Pro 2. Also, I don't want that stupid flap sticking out on the side of my Touch Pro 2. The Euro Touch Pro 2 battery cover doesn't have the ugly flap. I dont swap 2 million SD cards on my phone anyway so all the flap does is get in the way. My T-Mobile Wing does that all day long. The flap for the MicroSD gets stuck or comes out when putting the Wing back into it's case or when I slide my hand on the side of the phone.
Yes, I know the only real way to tell is if you actually try it (I will get my chance August 12th. I have a friend with a Euro Touch Pro 2 so I will try the battery cover swap, then find somewhere online to buy a Euro Touch Pro 2 battery cover), but does anyone know more than just "dimensions" of the phone. Anything like actual locking points on the back of the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, etc?
Well, discovered a solution on Ebay. Replace the entire casing for the USDM Touch Pro 2. Hopefully this works. Then I can get something close to the Euro Touch Pro 2, if not better. (Won't get confused for being an iPhone all the time!!!)

At&T Tilt2 housing

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.

[Q] Can a Rogers dream housing be used to replace G1 Housing

I have a Tmobile G1 and i want to change the housing to a Rogers Dream housing. Is this possible? I want to order the housing as soon as possible.
Thanks
Jason
Housings should be identical (except for branding, of course)... Havn't tried, but I'm fairly confident... Only difference is the radio chip on the board itself...
The T-Mobile G1 has circular buttons (end call, menu, etc.), whereas the Rogers Dream has rectangular buttons. All portions of the case will fit except for the lower fascia.

I stand corrected, he's right the fascia buttons are different...
The Conclusion?
In conclusion?
Would it be possible to just replace the lower fascia buttons of the G1 with those of Rogers Dream?
Thnx
Sure if you build something that connects the button to the housing.
Connects the same, replace housing, buttons and all and you'll be fine
