if a phone is locked in the uk, will it work fine everywhere else apart form the uk ?
Thanks Franz
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 !

Do you know this?

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 ?
Ofiaich
Have not heard yet - but I'll look around...
After having been able to get in touch with QTek France, they pointed me towards HTM.
HTM told me that to get this update (if it's the last one), THEY had to do it, that they will NOT provide the update on an internet site and that it will cost us poor froggies 59€ !!!!
Can someone confirm this ?
Hello,
Why don't you use the last Swiss Rom Orange? I upgrade 3 days ago and it's perfect for Orange France users, because it's french and Orange
And last but not least, That's totally free!!!!
Regards,
Well, i must change my signature by the way now....
Well I could, thou it's not an SPV M3100 that I have, but the plain french version of the HTC TyTN.
So if any warranty issues appear, I won't be eligible
Hi everybody, i have these samsung s5600 that i bought from ebay france and how i live in Belgium the phone do not work. Can you help me get unlock the phone like i saw for other models from Samsung ? Thank you.
Hi All,
I bought a new Galaxy S3 from saturn shop in Germany.
I can't use it in my country (outside Europe) due to region lock.
I searched the web for a fix and saw that Chainfire developed an app for this issue in Note 3.
is there a more dedicated solution for S3? (I can't find one).
thanks,
Shalili
I have the same problem.
Samsung did not warn buyers that they should put a local sim on the first use. Now I have a completely useless phone.
Until now there is no solution on internet.
My solution was ... I bought a Sony Xperia ZL and Samsung is dead to me.
