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.

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!

I've backup the BOOTLOADER + CE +Radio + Ext ROM to a file(use the command d2s adress1 adress2.........) and save it to PC already. (XDA II ) (for both Eng. XDA II and Trad. Chinese XDA II)
I've backup both version of Eng, and Trad. Chinese.
And then I copy the Eng backup combine rom to SD card and enter the bootloader mode in the Trad. Chinese XDA II, it work, it start to flash and completed.
I copy the Trad.Chinese backup combine rom to SD card and enter the bootloader mode in the Eng. XDA II , it work, it start to flash and completed.
It's several months ago, they works.
Yesterday, I try both the Eng/Trad. Chinese ROM on a arabic i-Mate XDA II, it fail at bootloader mode and stop at SD downloading, sections =3, not allow update, I just don't know why?
It's a matter of country ID or different between XDA II and i-Mate? What can I do to continue the flash?
With many thanks

you want the whole bootloader + OSimage + radio + ext. ROM in 51.5M or just Bootloader + OSimage in 3xM?
Do you have FTP uploader provide? I can upload it to you.

How do you backup bootloader? can you post the exact command lines u used (i have the link on how to update the 3 roms but it doesnt mention bootloader)
Also since it looks like we never online at the same time can u upload the image to the forum so everybody can use it, i think it would be big help for all the people in my situation
cheers fella
hi FlashGordon,
can you please show us how can you backup the BOOTLOADER + CE +Radio + Ext ROM? Can yu do it in XDA 1? Thanks
@flashgordon: it seems that all 1.72.xxx versions out there do an update of the bootloader from 1.01/1.03 to 1.06. i tried this by updating my o2 xda2 1.66.231ger to a qtek 2020 1.72.01ger (eplus). there is no set of update files out so far, so a brave guy copied the rom-images of his brand new qtek 2020 to sd-card and spread it around in a german ppc forum. unfortunately i got rid of my old bootloader 1.01 and have now 1.06. from this moment on i get the same message you get when i try to update using a non-o2 update. a second bad effect is that downgrading to version before 1.66 do no longer work.
this is no solution but a little more background informations for you.
good luck
peter
cool
Like satrapo said earlier. I 2 need the rom you have. either on an sd card of to flash to an sd card as i have one. Please could you send it me. i have WsFTP, ICQ, messenger or SD card through the post. I would give you some money when is end it back of course etc.... plenty ways to recieve it.. let me know which is best
Matthew
I've study on how to post the file in these 2 days.
now
CE (Asia O2 Eng)
Not sections=3 is not allow to upgrade.
Even Sections=1, Sections=2 will not allow to upgrade
But................
You can use your own Backup ROM to crack the restriction.

Basically I want to reflash it to the latest suitable ENGLISH Windows 2003 SE ROM. I tought that I could reflash it without learning how to use the complex upgrade tools just by downloading O2 WWE 1.72 update, but when I ran it it complained that there is a country ID error and did nothing.
So I need an advice on:
1) Which Windows, Radio and Extended ROM is should use in my situation (Coutry: Russia, Operator: BEE LINE)
2) What tools would I need to back everything up?
I used OSImageTool.exe, but when I try to load the resulting 32 Mb file with Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor it asked me a password (which of course I don't know) and didn't open it.
Please point me out to the relevant threads with correct ROM download links and upgrade instructions for those ROMs.
Thanks in advance,
--Yury.
Well, it seems that I figured out how to do it. I downloaded the package from:
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2.html
Then I copied the files apart and edited the ROM with the ROM editor for it to think that it's T-Mobile German ROM. It didn't give me any errors and upgraded without any problems. Yay!
Thanks guys for your excellent utilities.
i need o2 XDA II original rom (Asia)
