I have a new O2 German and I want to change the lenaguage to English.
Please, how to do this?
It is possible to load MDA English ROM to German XDA?
Try this:
Works only for upgrade from O2 (any version) to Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60
1. Download the Dangaard ROM image @ http://goztreh.free.fr/eng.exe
2. Extract this file with Winzip to a new folder
3. Extract the attached file to the same folder
4. Start the conversion and upgrade by double-clicking convert.bat
Grtz,
Jos
do not do the dangard one
do the dutch upgrade, is perfect, you will find it here on the web, its from t-mobile nl. and everything is in english. super super quality. I hear of problems with the dangard one. Second reason for doiing the duth/english one is its perfect for further upgrades, no country problems
forgot to tell you
I have an german mda, and did the english upgrade, went back to german, and back to english, no problemo
How to do this?
I made all you said and nothing happen in XDA
I had extracted 2 files to a new folder, execute convert, accept in the black screen, an one of the files in PC were deleted.
And I can detec any change in my XDA., How to know it?
And after, what I need to do to change the language?
Did you first download the English rom from the site mentioned?
If you download it, you get a file called eng.exe.
You have to extract this file with Winzip in a new folder (make sure you have Winzip installed, right-click on the file eng.zip and choose Winzip->Extract to folder...
This should give you 6 files.
Extract the file "Upgrade O2 to DANG16021.zip" to the same folder.
Go to this folder and doubleclick convert.bat.
You get some messages of the ROM being converted, and the upgrade process starts.
What you are doing is putting a new English ROM in the XDA.
The old one is overwritten and all data is lost. So make a copy of the My Documents folder of your XDA (a backup is useless, since you can't do a restore on the new version from an older one).
Grtz,
Jos
Problems upgrqading
Thanks to Jos for the detailed information.
I did all you say, execute CONVERT with the 6 files in the same directory, the box CHECKING THE INFORMATION IN YOUR POCKET PC.... starts, but after lon time I receive the message ERROR 101: CONNECTION ERROR.
The xda is connected and working the activeSync Without problems, but the software says is disconnected!
Make shure the XDA is connected directly to your PC. Don't use an USB hub.
Once you ran CONVERT, you don't need it anymore. Just run HimaUpgradeUt.exe directly.
GER to ITA
I have a new MDA2 German and I want to change the lenaguage to Italian.
Please, how to do this?
You need to get an Italian ROM, but I have no idea where to find it.
And please, just post to one discussion and not to three with the same question...
Connection settings
Ok, I have connected directley the USB port.
It is necessary to have ActiveSync installed? And running?
How to set the xda? Any special mode (bootloader, etc)?
I have active sync installed. Just insert the XDA, wait until the sync is finished and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
Thanks
Thanks JOS for posting,
I have the same problem.
I have Just received an O2 XDA from Germany in German Language...I'll do your suggestion...
My question is: wich differents between O2 XDAII Rom Version 4.20.1081 and the Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60 you suggest ?
Thanks in advance.
Francesco
and 2° question...
There will be problems or incompatibility installing Daangard Qteq 1.60 on The O2 XDAII with the future Downloads Xda II ROM upgrade
coming in early 2004.
http://www.xda-2.co.uk/downloads/xda2_upgrade.html
Thank you.
Francesco
then you can just backup the rom you have before updating
and then change back to the back'd up rom before you update to the later rom
Great!!!
It worked fine...!!!
In 40 minutes I have got my new english rom image...
Thank you Jos.

Can anybody help a poor newbie MDA II user?
Hi everybody! I'm from Italy. Yesterday evening i finally received the MDA II from Germany. It has equipped with:
ROM VERSION: 1.60.00GER
RADIO VERSION: 1.06.01
EXTROM VERSION: 1.60.07
As i can't speak nor understand german language quite well, i started to improve my knowledge in how to change German to English idiom from several days. I downloaded from the forum the ROM version from NL (RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL) that should use the english language. :shock: By the way... an italian ROM version doesn't exist...? :shock: I don't want to do mistakes that could compromize the life of my MDA II, so please, please, please, give me a hand teaching me how to start the upgrading (i.e. before the upgrading, have i to put the MDA II on its cradle and connect to the PC, etc, etc...).
Forgive me, i'm quite less than a newbie :shock: but i learn quickly! :wink:
Many thanks to everybody who will help me... and to whole community of course: you are the best!

Ive just got a little question for allm you cracks out there.
On my m1000 ive got Orange specific apps such as Orange Backup or Orange Update.
Now iff i upgrade to lets say some other rom higher then 1.66 WWE
Will i still be able touse these Orange specific programs?
if not is there a way to get them back?
Ive done a little search on here but didnt find a sure answer.
any help is cool)
Thanx
Yes you can.
Just identify your cabs in the Extended Rom, which are from Orange, and copy them to your PC.
After ROM upgrade, you will add these cabs to the new extended rom.
High again
Ok thanx good idea but how dio i do that? ahhhh wait ill check the forums........ :wink:
Thanx man :lol:
peace
Ok after searching some on here ... i didnt find it.
Can you explain thge prosess to me?
Thanx
peace
UnRAR the exe ROM file (right-click on it, you must have Winrar), you will find 7 files.
Install ER2003Edit (attached), then run it and Open (enter codes below), not with the Auto option, the ms_.nbf file. There, you change Qtek to Orange, then you save. Before you save, if you want, you can edit also the splash screen and the Extended rom. Anyway, once saved, run HimaUpgradeUt.exe and all wil be working fine.
The codes :
ms_.nbf : 0x20040305
NK.nbf : 0x20040304
radio_.nbf : 0x20040306
Heys wow nice. Thanx a lot for that quick help and answer.
Hmmm. Ill try that tonight or tommorrow. exelent.
By the way.. would you sugest to upgrade or wait until the 2003 SE release?

Until what ??? Sweet waiting, dream on !
You dont think it will be released?
hmm i think it will.
Orange is very motivated in the Smartphone and PPC wordl and will continue to boost.
I think beginning of 05 we will see a update :lol:
They don't have any reason to loose money for update. You take your wishes as reality. XDA III will have SE, that's all. Of course PPC world will continue to boost, but with new buyers, not with ancient buyers.

Well they never offered a WM2003 upgrade to owners of SPV and E100 Smartphones so I doubt very much that they'll offer the WM2003SE upgrade for the m1000 I have an O2 XDA on Orange UK and I don't expect O2 will offer it either!

simplified chinese rom
Hi, there:
I'm a newbie from china mainland, and I'm using a dopod696 which I think is an oemed xda II. the rom information about it like this:
ROM: 1.66.07CHS
ROM date: 02/23/04
Radio: 1.15.00
Protocol: 1337.25
ExtRom: 1.66.225
and its Pocket PC version is 4.20.0(build 13252)
I have these questions: is it running wm2k3 or wm2k3se and how can I tell? is there any newer CHS rom available?(dopod's technical support is very poor.) can I use XDATools to backup its rom? and who actually built these roms? Microsoft or the device manufacturer?
Thanks for your help.
Hi, Zhoudan.
AFAIK.
You have a newest XDAII (Chinese version isn.t ??) with OS Windows Mobile 2003 Service Pack 1.
WM2003SE is Pocket PC version 4.21.
ROM built by Device Manufacturer (Vendor like O2, I-Mate, Qtekk or T-Mobile), sorry i do not know you vendor (Dopod ???), may be they are sub vendor from O2.
Microsoft is support OS only.
Thank's

Thanks a lot ajong,
I noticed some people here are talking about rom version 1.72 which seems to be wm2003se, is there a simplified chinese version available?

That's wrong. Until now there is no WM2003 SE available for the XDA II.....
HTH
Stefan
Rom 1.72
WM2003SE is not come out yet, wait untill the end of the year !!.
update to 1.72 rom, you will get WM2003sp2 with benefit increase battery lifetime, bluetooth customization, .....
afaik, not chinese version in 1.72 rom.
i heard O2 will make 1.72 rom which WM2003SE included, but i am not sure :?: :?:

Alex,
Use the attached tool 'ntrw.exe' to extract the ROM image in SD card:
1. Insert the SD card containing the ROM into a card reader
2. If the card reader drive is 'X:\' under your Windows, then run:
ntrw.exe read xda2_166_cht_image.nb1 x:
(where the 'xda2_166_cht_image.nb1' will be filename of the captured ROM, it can be whatever you like)
Then, you can find an extracted ROM file under the working directory.
I have PM you with my email address. Could you please send me the ROM file, please? Or, you might upload it to ftp.xda-developers.com and inform me.
Thanks a lot!
sorry...I already upgraded to se..& didn't backup the old rom

Alex,
Thanks for your uploaded files VERY MUCH! I have upgraded my XDA II to 1.66 CHT successfully!
The zip file you uploaded is actually the ROM file (I used Hex Editor to open it). You can just rename it to any new name with extension 'nbf'. Then, you can flash it to any XDA II device. (Actually you can directly use that to flash)
For how to flash a XDA II, please refer to:

Once again, thank you very much!!

PS: I have tried your link but failure to register. Please advice
You can register the website as free, then you can see those upgrade steps. Actually, flashing with Ext ROM is much easier, and is also included in the thread.
Hope that may help.

Following the official 1.92.190 release from T-Mobile NL, I put together the following pieces
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.903
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL
Note this thread if you're device is not T-Mobile and you want to use this ROM!!
Plz. Post any comments
(This thread replaces this one )
I added an archive containing ONLY the ExtROM.
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-uninstallable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it NOT un-installable if youre using the 1.72.903 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_903.cab from the ExtROM
NOTE: As long as the xda-decelopers ftp facility is not up, vkonovalov has volunteered to host the upgrade files.
The links:
The Full ROM upgrade
Just the Extended ROM
This post is just to let anyone know the Upgrade files are now available for download (by getting it higher up in the latest posts list).
@edSub
When can u upload the 193 extrom?
im using the 190, maybe i can try it on my asian xdaII config.
cheers! :wink:
uppss...it was posted above. spoke to soon. trying it now...thanks :wink:
Can anyone upload 1.72.903 extended_ROM in a CAB format please!
Thanks!
superperry: The RAR file has the ms_.nbf in it.
It is easy to open that one with ER2003Edit which can be downloaded from this site. Within ER2003Edit, you can extract anything you like from the nbf.
Password is 0x20040305 (as for all recent ExtROM nbf files).

Big Thanks! I forgot that we have that program.
What is the difference between this ROM and the 172.190 from T-Mobile? I am not a developer so please keep it simple.
Also can this be installed just like the official upgrades or do you have to do anything afterwrds to modify it?

Hi there all. I just got an XDAIIi from my sis in the UK. How ever after hours and hours of going through the forum I realised that the only way to unlock my PDA is through imei check. I hope that there is a program on the way to unlock them same as the XDA 2. Cheers
