Having an O2 with a German ROM and wanting to install an English ROM, i contacted O2 UK asking if it was possible to install a UK ROM instead of a German One and this is the reply of O2 UK support:
"It is not possible to use a UK ROM on a German device - this is because O2 DE has a product called Homezone, which requires additional tweaks to the radio-stack to work correctly. The radio-stack is tweaked for each country, as are the ROM files. If this German device is flashed with a UK ROM it will break and then not work at all."
Knowing this, would the installation of an english ROM as you guys r suggesting hurt the device because of the Home Zone thing?
Can't we just use a generic English Rom from microsoft that would not hurt the device?
i am currently using the device oustside Europe, so i do not really need O2 carrier services.
Your feedback is appreciated.

I just bought from Internet with eBay a second hand XDA from Germany and I'm italian. All the O2 rom upgrading instructions say: "This software must only be used to upgrade devices sold by O2 UK or it’s partners" I'm using Vodafone Italy and Gprs Can I upgrade this stuff with this Rom Upgrade?
Again .... shall I choose the language or maybe when I get the xda I will get it in german and cannot switch at least to english?
I understand these are boring infos for someone but very helpfull to me
Many tks for this wonderfull and helpfull web site and forum
ciao
If you're happy with a ROM in English, just download the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.1 from here or here, run the exe, and you're all set.
İ am a mda2 user. İve bought my device from Germany and after that i changed its ROM to an english one using a rom editor to change its country id .. This encouredged a close friend of mine and he bought a O2 XDA2i. And since both me and my friend have no idea about German language we immediately tried to convert it to an english ROM. All of the ROMS we tried stopped giving country id error messages so idiotically i tried to flash a himalaya rom merged by sin which can pass Counrty id problem by itself.
And using this wrong ROM i killed his machine. It now only displays serial or usb (when connected to cradle). Someone told us that if we flash it with a original German ROM it can work again. But there is no German ROM downloadable . O2 england has a rom downloadable for xda2i but germany doesnt have. where can i find one?
Can someone tell me where I can download the new O2 XDA Stealth english ROM please? I tried O2 website and it won't allow to download because it says this device doesn't need update but I need to reflash the phone, thanks
I was wondering the same, I'm getting the same message on seeo2.com
I need something to remove this horrible eZitext and make it multi-tap
Hi guy,
I am from Taiwan and use Stealth Chinese OS. I searched O2 website for ROM upgrade but found nothing. Then contacted O2 support for inquerying if any ROM update. They replied me no chinese OS upgrade. May I know if you are using OS other than English?
Also I have aother problem is Chinese OS EziText doesn't support user defined dictionary. It really upset me. Even it's Chinese OS, I want to use ezitext latin english to input. but how come I can't define my dictionary? There are so many slangs, special names not in their built-in banks. As I know, at least english OS provide this function. But what O2 replied me is "Can't help".

For the Greek part ,the best you can do "at the moment" is use Paragon language extender which is reported to be working quite well,as for the Crossbow part ............
There are also localization programs: paragon has one and www.sunnysoft.com has one. You can also find greek keyboards: www.resco-net.com
Another option is to change your rom to the Greek rom if you can find it.

From past experience I'd be very cautious of using a Greek Rom from ACE HELLAS even if you can download it from their site as they tend to lock them to the IMEIS of the devices sold in Greece.
Υes ..... that's right... I have tried to put a rom from ACE and i couldn't because it was locked...
agreed on ace hellas...if I had not upgraded to pda mobile dopod I could have offered you a switch since I bought my device in Greece (not sure I can revert to original greek rom).
go here : http://www.qtek.gr/forum/
register and download the last rom for artemis!!

I don't know about the Greek site, but Qtek's Dutch site (www.qtek.nl) has a similar option. To get access to the Rom you need a valid IMEI number. In other words, if you don't have a Qtek, you cannot download this Rom.
I noticed that the attachment in the Greek forum is not a rom update but essentially an update in the Greek interface. It would be great if we had an update to wm6.
Where you find the greek rom from ace???i need it... tnx

Hi there!
I am looking for an official ROM for the Opal/Touch Viva/MDA Basic.
Everywhere i look people say like "get it from htc.com" or "you can download it from their website".
There are no ROMs for download at www.htc.com!
If i choose germany as country it's even better: it tells me there is no device called touch viva. (I bought the device in germany!!!)
Anyone please can help and tell me where i can REALLY download official HTC ROM??
then, what is this?

What difference does it make ?
doesn't most people in asia have other letters than western countries??
I want english version. (In fact i would like german version most, but since I can't find a newer version than the translated one posted on this board I would stick with english one.)

Hi guys, same here. still looking for a stock german rom. i had mine extracted but the extracted files are not working...
I talked to HTC for a german ROM now.
They told me there isn't a stock ROM in german because there is no german Touch Viva.
For the T-Mobile MDA they explained to me:
"Even though the phone is now unlocked, they (T-Mobile) still own the phone serial number so you will only be able to use t mobile roms, so the best action is to contact them to see if there have a update, if not there is not going to be one available for you to download."
So it seems like HTC does not provide any german ROMs for Opal
i think you can change the language pack... these links might help:
