Dear Forum Members,
This is an excellent place where people try to help each other. However, I have read EVERY post on changing languages and none of them is clear enough or general enough to be of much help. This is partly confused by the multitude of languages and operators. Can one of the experts please give a step-by-step guide or put it in a FAQ so that we can have this wrapped up once and for all? People are reluctant to flash their device based on vague instructions due to the possible consequences (making a shiny door-stop).
Things that would help:
Will the device work properly irrespective of what operator's ROM you use?
What is the latest and / or best ROM for e.g. English?
I recently bought an O2 XDA II in Germany and flashed it to English using the upgrade from O2 UK. Now my device has English except for all the phone functions are still in German. So, this procedure is not as simple as some people claim. So I need to flash again with a second ROM to take care of that?
Please, one of the experts help us out and save yourself time. For example LumpiStefan has written "read the forum" several times in response to this question. If he had read every post as I have then he would know that this is not so clear or easy.
Thanks in advance!

German into English
Hi, I'm with you.
I have the same problem. I have a German XDA II and want to change it in English.
I posted some mails to several specialists on different forums. I'm waiting for an answer. If there is something interesting I get back to you.
Note: I didn't try to put an english ROM update on my XDA II cause it seemed a bit too "conflicting" to me. No problems besides the phone still being in German?
If not, can you already provide me with a link?
Thanks
Grtz
as far as i know the language is hardcoded in the rom and the only way to change the language is to change the rom
excluding arap and asian language i think because they seem to use an extre tool to get their chars supportet

Hello everybody,
I recently posted a topic about the need of a step by step guide in relation to upgrades of XDA's or other subjects but, they had to be in an understandable, easy to follow English for the less gifted amongst us. With this I mean the non pure computer language specialists.
Well, with thanks to PDAMobiz.com I found a very useful guide made by Caustic. I used it and it worked perfect to change from a German 1.72GER to the 1.72.81WWE with Blackberry. It can also be used to upgrade to WM2003SE as stated in this guide.
It is a fairly simple procedure, you only have to replace one file with another one as described. You will need WinRar or some program of this nature.
Again, I want to warn all users that it worked perfectly for me but using this information is of course, at your own risk.
All info can be found here. http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=143&KW=Caustic
I hope some of you can benefit from this.
If you have any comments or more step by step guides to offer, please do reply to this topic.
Greetings

Please try to burn the rom two time. When you burn it, you may find a error message about the vendor ID error.After that, please don't do anything and just execute the burn rom software again. Please try it again. If you have any enquiries. Please post in here again. I also need your help. Would you mind capture the screen and send to me.(Esspecially the phone screen.) I hope I can use this to make a Faq. Thanks!

i read it but i cant find any useful or i messed up something. anyway thanks for the reply. still looking for a answer on my concern. tnx guys
Firstly, you need restore the original ROM.
You can find the ROM in here: http://rapidshare.com/files/17340626/RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
You can apply this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295735 with this ROM.
install hardSLP first if you have not.
Hi everyone, this forum is great and have seen lots things that I'm sure will be of use but having only ever had standard mobiles before I;m not sure where to start!
I've got a T-Mobile branded HTC touch dual which is unlocked to all networks but other than that it's standard.
I basically want to remove all traces of T-Mobile from the phone and set it up as HTC made it, or better if possible?
Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I've tried searching but don't know all the terminology yet so I don't know what I don't know!
Thanks in advance
Start here.............

Click stuff & read. Every phone needs a "ROM". You want a non T-Mobile ROM. First, Flash with HardSPL, then Flash new ROM. Then read Wiki about tweaks & crap like that. Viola. The key is read, read, read! We all have to do it too. Wiki is your friend. Wiki likes you. Wiki wants to play. Be one with the Wiki!
Hello,
I need certain help. I've looked everywhere in order to find those custom ROMs for my tablet 'GoClever Tab R75', but to no avail.
I've found a thread on these forums somewhere, but the guy who replied on the already asked question was Polish and I didn't understand a single thing he wrote. Translation awful, as usual.
He did, however, provide 2 links for some "Softwares" and "Kernels", none of which I understood. I don't know what these Kernels are, provided I'm totally new to this whole rooting thing, nor do I know which "Software" to choose from all of those further links following that very link the Polish guy posted.
I just want to know if there are ANY custom roms for my tablet, because I just won't apply those Softwares or Kernels this guy posted knowing nothing about them and what they are supposed to do. Not that I'm saying that this Polish guy is unscrupulous or anything similar, I'm just saying that I don't understand any of those 'intermixed numbers and letters' in the descriptions of those links he provided.
Thanks in advance.

Can you not google translate on the page that the link takes you to??
Hello, thanks for the quick response.
Sure I can translate, but as I've told you, I'm new to all this rooting stuff and I just don't know what those kernels are of which software to choose.
I could just use someone's help, someone's who's experienced with these things to tell me whether there is a custom ROM for my tablet or not, that's all.
Can you briefly tell me what those kernels are, I'm just curious.
I'll find a way to install it but I just need to know how to find it. (the ROMs)
Anyone?
