Hello!
I am very new to HTC and Windows Mobile and am thinking of replacing my slowly dying Tungsten T3 with the Vodafone 1605 !
I am also aware that I could buy the unbranded TyTn!
What I need the most is to be able to send and receive my emails in Japanese. I know both Docomo and SoftBank will release or have released the TyTn.
My question is - Can I re-flash or change the rom to this one ?
Docomo_HTCz_ExtROM_JP.zip
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Extended_ROMs/
I know from reading other forums that I should be able to read and inout Japanese but the process to do that does seem complicated..

I found other pages too...
My thinking is that the DocomoHTCz_ExtROM_JP.zip file may give me the language settings that I need...
I am very new to this! The Tungsten T3 was easy!
Any advice is much appreciated. I have one month to go before I can upgrade, or I can proceed and buy an unbranded TyTn !

If you can try please tell me how it works!

Hello sesaru,
sorry, I do not know that software and have nothing that I can try it on.
Looks interesting though...
Anyone else help?
By the way, have you been able to buy a HTC Hermes/SoftBank X01HT ?
I am interested in that or the Docomo version! But maybe it will not work in the UK...

Ext ROM means extended ROM - it contains all the bundled software so thats probably not what you want to be doing. The latest dopod WWE (world wide English) rom works on the voda 1605 I flashed mine with it, I only chose dopod because its the latest, I'll probably switch to i-mate once their upgrade comes out. Dopod has the game Another World on the ex rom which was a pretty cool flashback to my Amiga childhood.
I only see a Chinese dopod ROM on the wiki, no Japanese.

thanks very much! I understand clearly now.
I guess I need to do the procedures outlined here -

but a bit scary for a beginner.
Or wait for the Japanese ROM to appear,

I just got the SoftBank (ex. Vodafone) X01HT 3 days ago. Basically the unit is great, works quite well here in Japan although there are certain restrictions:
The wireless modem is disabled - that means I cannot use the X01HT as a Bluetooth modem for my laptop (very annoying)
I don't know if the unit is SIM locked or not (I just have Japanese Vodafone SIMs to test) I know though that my Japanese SIM in my mobile worked in the UK.
I plan to flash mine with a English language ROM, my command of Japanese is not really too good (native German speaker...)

I wonder why that was felt necessary?!!

That's interesting. I tried my UK Vodafone SIM in a few Vodafone Japanese phones last month and they did not work !

OK, My Sharp 902 Ferrari works well in Japan except for data. But data is extortionate anyway.....
There is a great plan in England for roaming! Calls within Japan and back to the UK cost only 75 pence a time, but for up to 59 minutes, using my free minutes!
I heard that sim free phones might become available in Japan. Have you heard os such a thing ?

Have not heard yet - but I'll look around...

Hi,

It worked very well but unfortunately I can use this program only works for Spain.
Does anyone know a warningprogram which I can use with my Tom tom for Italy?
Thx. for the help.
