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!

Hey guys,
I just got my XDA II and I would like to try the Orange m1000 rom.
Is there anybody that does have an UK version of the Orange m1000 rom?
Thanks
Panja
The ROM i refer to in my previous post on the Danish Orange ROM is entirely in English - except for a GPRS default setting pointing to a Danish gateway. You can easily change that.
It can be downloaded freely from Orange in Denmark.

Alas NOPE!
It can't ('out of the box/from the download') be used to update an O2 XDA2 though, because it fails the country check instantly.
As I just tried exactly these things when you posted earlier this morning mate (UK time).
I tried to run the M1000 Denmark (english language) ROM update, on my UK O2 XDA2 today.
It fails straightaway - "Invalid Country".
Not sure if you can hack it or something to allow this, but it's certainly not something I would know how to do, or feel confident trying.
have you tried chancing your country in the local settings before the upgrade ?
you could always change it back
Thanks for the replies guys!!
So what do I need to do to upgrade to the m1000 rom?
Cheers
Panja
if you can get around the country thing then you need
a cradle and the upgrade exe file
Rudegar,
No mate - the country code issue has nothing to do with user set values/user defined regional settings.
It is something hardcoded into the device ROM to identify its country.
It can't be user changed.
It is a hardware check made when starting a ROM Upgrade.
Pity though.
what if you change the exe file to zip and take out the nbf file ?
and install it bootloaderwise ?
would it not work then ?
Er, run that by me in Swahili, as English just lost me...
Nah, seriously mate, I have a basic idea of what that means, but can you be more gentle with me and give me more details?
well if the exe file is an install file
then it's really a selfunpacking zip file
and if you change it from
WHATEVERNAME.exe to WHATEVERNAME.zip
you can unzip the nbf file from inside the zip
and you can use the xdatools to flash the nbf file to a sd card
and upgrade your device from the bootloader
at least thats how you do it on the xda1
Hey everyone,

You can get your device to function in English by flashing the ROM.
Roms can be downloaded from O2, T-Mobile, iMate or from this site if you want something more than just the standard stuff.
I can personnaly recommend my 1.72.903 (when I can upload it here) or my 1.72.902 rom.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13301
To get in onto your device follow the instructions by dcs in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
You will need a minimal knowledge of german to find out the specifics of your device (the part where you need to run HimaUpgradeUt.exe), but a onlien translation tool should be more than enough to do the translation
ok! the more i read the direction....the more dumber i get...Just so cofuse and ...........god know!?? Thanz all for all the info.
hallo guys i've upgraded my Qtek2020 with the 1.72.04ROM to 2003WMSE WWE. Once i've realized that xdaIIs is just qtek9090,i've downloaded qtek9090 last rom from windowsmobile.it and i would try to install it into my device. but i've stopped bedides the fatl country error. what can isay?

Hi,
I have a HP rw6815 with an old ROM in Italian language. I've found on hp website the ROM upgrade (v.1.12.00 (24 Jul 2007)) for the English version.
Anyone has made this upgrade from a language different from English to this one in English?
Where can I find the AKU version of my HP? (What "AKU" stands for?? )
Is there any way to backup my old ROM and to reinstall it?
Thanks

You need to mod the update program to get rid of the language limitation. AKU - Adaptation Kit Upgrade, just like Service Packs on desktop Windows. You can search detailed info on Google. You will find your AKU info on Settings - System - About, in line 2 you will see something like "OS 5.1.478 (build 15698.3.5.2)", that means this device runs AKU 3.5.2.
You can always download ROMs from official site.

there is a way to backup the ROM. to dump it on an SD card, but getting it back would entail a lot of work. However, if you would be kind enough to share the ROM dump of the new upgrade. The ATOM community would be grateful to you.
ROM Version
I just hacked into this ROM. Sadly, this is still an old ROM, though, it is released just recently.
[Core OS]
Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs
[Versions]
OEM: 5.1.0.2600
SYS: 5.1.14989.2600
SYS: 5.1.14989.0
SYS: 5.1.65535.65535
NET: 1.0.4294.0
This means it is an AKU 2.6; so, no need to dump this ROM.
My hp rw6815 already comes with the same OS build (5.1.14989.2600) of the ROM upgrade... So this is only an update that fixes some bugs.. But because of the many bugs it has, I need to install it.
How can I mod the installation program to get rid of the language limitation? Is there someone who has already done it and tryed on their rw6815?
Thanks

I'm not sure if this will work, but in our Atom, we just enter into bootloader mode before upgrading.
Does anybody try this for rw6815?

Where I can find detailed information how to do it (I need to change polish ROM into english one)?
Thank to Russian guys from 4pda.ru I found how to update my ROM to 1.12.00 WWE (from polish ROM).
The answer how to do it has been published by ArHon and I hope he don't mind if I present his solution here
At the following location: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/939824/hpRUU.rar there are two patched hpRUU.exe files. First one is for language change only, second one is for both: language and models change between rw6818 and rw6815 and vice versa. Thank you ArHon.
Best regards,

Damn!!! Why can't I speak Russian!!!
But please bigu1975, tell us what have you done on your rw6815.
Is it now in English?
Is it now a rw6818? (but, what for? I know that 6818 model has radio FM, but hasn't got WiFi!!!)
So, tell us more!!!
The problem is that my russian is also very poor. I just used first file (language patched only) and I upgraded my polish ROM from 1.10.05 to english ROM 1.12.00. I have rw6815 and I used the orginal english ROM for my device.
I used the following procedure:
1. I downloaded from HP web the ROM update for rw6815 - sp35815.exe file.
2. I duble clicked on them and extracted all files. When the update application run I clicked on cancel.
3. I deleted orginal hpRUU.exe file from created by sp35815.exe IPAQ directory.
4. I copied then new patched file from provided link.
5. I run upgrade proccess as it is described by HP. This time the hpRUU.exe program didn't check my language, so after 15minutes I have new ROM
I believe that using second patched hpRUU.exe you can load the rw6818 ROM into rw6815 (and vice versa) but I didn't check this.
The orginal post is under link (russian laguage):

I hope I helped...

eheh I cannot ask you to translate whole forum!! By now I use Babylon Translator...
But if you can go to that forum, read all posts and make us a summary...
And maybe, can you ask them if there is a way to backup old rom before update? I'm not sure that my warrenty could remain valid after update...
Thanks

If I correctly understood the russian posts there is a way to backup the ROM on SD card but it is rather hard to brink it back
In the link to forum there is a link to file which makes the ROM backup on SD card.
Yes, it works.
I had the same problem with a turkish hw6815. I used it and it worked with no problem. I would like to thank you you for the help.
what you cant understand?
Cool. one of my colleagues is now the proud owner of an English rw6815 (it was Dutch prior to the *successful* crossgrade)
Sorry for my english. When I try go to link http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/939824/hpRUU.rar I get the next error:
Warning: require(./sources/misc/attach.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /data/pda-main-www/forum/index.php on line 463
Can you give another link. I have the HP rw6815 and I can't change the language of WM5.
Thank you.
