newbie: o2 xda german to English OS? - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

hello guys,
I was wondering if someone could help me with a step by step guide (or maybe a link to a thread with needed information), how to change the operating system language of my o2 xda?
I currently own a German xda, and would like to have it in English...
thanks for your help!

You can start with this thread:

HTH

thanks,
but is this working fine with the European 900/1800? since it was created for American market 1900...

yes you can... extract the .exe file using Winzip or Winrar
take the Nk.nbf file, use XDAtool or XDArit tool to burn it on your SD card, upgrade using SD method... then it will only upgrade your ROM not your radio stack
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
from the thread the url points to
so the nbf is the rom for the pda part
and the radiostack upgrade is another file in the
exe file if you dont mess around with the radiostack upgrade
your phone will not get messed with

Problems updating ROM, I need help, please.

I'm trying to upgrade my XDA with ROM version 3.14.16 GER (Model number PW10A1) with the upgrade file (v3.17.03) downloaded from O2 UK website (I mean, I would like to change the language only). When I execute the upgrade file runs ok, but after several steps occurs the following error: ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC.
I also have tried with XDA Os Image tool (downloaded from this web) with Source:...NK.nbf and Destination: Device Memory (via Programme A) but there is another error: Programme A not found -run with '--register' error openenig target device (but Porgramme A is installed on my PC).
Thanks in advance.
What language are you trying to change to?
Now it's in german, I want to change to english.

Ok I suggest you upgrade to the Qtek 1010 ROM
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
The D/L comes with both the ROM and the Radio Stack Upgrade last time I checked so just do the ROM.
or you can go with the XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
either way your ROM will changed to English.

Thank you very much but I've tried the two ways. The first one doesn`t work because there is only the Radio Stack Upgrade file and with the second one I've got the same error than before, ERROR 007: NO ROM IMAGE FILE. What I'm doing wrong?
I don't know anything about the German ROM, but what about using the SD card flash method? It lets you get around the Programme A problems that occur with ROM's such as those from T-Mobile.

I don`t know very well that method. What I have to do? Do I have to do a copy of the ROM file to SD card first and then copy it to the ROM of XDA from the SD card?
Thanks a lot.

Basically I linked to the information necessary to do SD card flashes from this thread, as well as covering other issues with changing ROM's, such as with the bootloader (5.17 is an extra technicality) : http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3860. You will need an SD card reader which shows your SD card as an extra drive in explorer.
Let us know if you have further problems.

WM 2003 OS on XDA1

Hi
Is it possible to get WM 2003 on the XDA 1. ie upgrade the 2002 version supplied with the XDA1
If so is there a step by step guide to the process.
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Ric
I read this message on this forum and would like some help please
"T-mobile WM 2003 for MDA I will be available 29.Dec.03 ???"
Yes it is possible to upgrade your XDA I. I put the T-Mobile Backup-Rom provided here on my XDA I and it works perfectly. How to do it, is explained there as well. But be aware that the ROM provided there is a German one. I don't know how to change it into an English one.
C U @ Mallorca
The ENG version is here ftp://tmobile:[email protected]:21 .. but be careful as it contains the upgrade for both RSU and ROM.

How can i upgrade my O2 XDA I to WM2003?
thanks in advance
Marco

your device is 900/1800mhz = the A model
the upgrade you trying to put on it is the american version hence tmobile.... which is 900/1900 the B version
gaz
EURO Upgrade
Where can i found an european wm2003 upgrade (in english, not in german)?
marco
the versions of wm2003 you can only use are:
v4.00.01, v4.00.05 & v4.00.11 no other versions of wm2003 as of yet the others are american versions.
www.yorch.net
Gaz, ur right but the A,B difference is significant only for RSU upgrades. That's why it's performed with TMO 4.01.00 file as it contains both RSU and ROM upgrades. But if you use Winzip to extract the ROM files only, I don't think it will show this error.
However, I 'm still waiting to see a kitchen option based on 4.01.00, but seems the focus now is on XDA II stuff
Is there any chance you could send me the 4.01.00 file, can't find it anywhere. Ronnie
just check 6 posts higher in this thread :wink:
Your a GOD, thanx :wink:
Hello Biso;
I downloaded the file, right clicked on it and used the winzip options to unzip it to a folder where I found a file named upgrade and a folder named English. I found the folder to contain the rsu, so I did not try to use it as you recommended, and I double clicked on the upgrade.exe file. Unfrotunately the same error message of device a and b came in and I could not continue.
What I am doing wrong.??

Nothing wrong, All upgrades made by operators will do such check and since your device seems to be PW10A then you will always get this error if you use the EXE method.
In the \English directory, you will find a file named NK.nbf which should have a size of 32 MB. After extracting this file, you have 2 options:
1. If you have SD card and reader/writer, put it on the SD card and flash your XDA through the bootloader.
OR
2. Use the XDAtools from this site and make the source is the NK file and the destination is the XDA flash ROM.

Thank you very much Biso, you were of great help. I just flashed the rom and I know I will enjoy it. by the way I changed my device to qtek 1010, to have an extra 32 of ram.
BTW do you know a cool site from which I can change the skin of the phone. I just did not like the TM logo

Sorry for late reply. Dunno why nobody has replied to you yet.
I don't know if you can get a french version of ROM, but the one in English released by ATT for Siemens SX56 (A.30.09 ENG) works very good. I upgraded my Qtek 1010 from version 3.14 to wm2003 several versions cooked in Jeff's kitchen but I have so far found this to be the most stable and convenient. Not only that, many bugs in the earlier versions of wm2003 are fixed. (Multiple Reset Notification bug still exists but it can be handled by scarybear software available free at http://www.scarybearsoftware.com
You can get it if you follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5623&highlight=qtek+wm2003
I discovered that the Activesync method to flash this ROM does not work. The Program A just does not run. I used SD card method. It works.
The ATT release comes with ROM upgrade and Radio Upgrade files. If you are not having any problems with your present radio, never attempt to upgrade the Radio Stack. You can find enough dead devices if you browse through this forum.
Somewhere I read in this forum that the NK.NBF file can be extracted from the downloaded file, however I could not figure out how. I ran the application and quit before it started to flash the device. You can find the NK.NBF file in c:\Program Files\SX56 Upgrade*\...\english\ folder.
You can get the .nbf file out by just opening the .exe file with winzip. At least that's how I did it
Perhaps it can be done with winzip. I use Ultimate Zip and it does not allow it
i just change the extention from exe to zip and the file acts like any other zip file

Conver MDA Compact II with WM 5.0 from German to English

I just bought a new MDA Compact II and it has WM 5.0 loaded. I noticed another post that said they didn't knw that the device supported WM5, but it does (maybe only the II version does). Anyway, I am a native English speaker and I would like to convert my device to English (right now it is in German, came that way from T-D1). Does anyone know if anyone has done this sucessfully on this version of the MDA yet? If so where can I get the SW and tutorial?
Thanks!
Randy

heres the rom, you'll also need to run Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID first so your able to install other langauges. A search for that on here should bring up the file
Thanks Dave, just to verify....that is the English MW5.0 for the MDA Compact II, right?
Thanks for your assistance!

I need this ROM very mutch! I asked for it long time ago!
But this link doesn't work, downloading not starting and I can't enter to this FTP-server.
Can you help me, what is a problem?
Oh, now i understand my problem it was a firewall :roll:
I allready download this ROM and utilites for flashing. Thanks!
It is a standart ROM for MDA Compact II? Can I star the process without risks?!
i didnt upload it but its under the charmer folder so i'd imagine its the right one. The original file is called
RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe
is that whats in the zip file?
here is what was in the zip file
EnterBootloader.exe
nk.nbf
Readme.doc
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
ROMUpdateUtility_wizard_noID.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResourcee.dll.
How can I tell if it is WM5.0?
Thanks again!
Randy
certainly looks like a rom package. the nk.nbf file - properties of mine are
Size 70.5 MB (73,927,680 bytes)
Size on Disk 70.5 MB (73,928,704 bytes)
Modified 26 November 2005, 13:06:52
also look through that readme, should show shots of the phone with tmobile on the corner

Qtek S200 (Prophet) roms

Hello All,
I'm a newbie in this forum so forgive me if I'm asking something that has been already asked (I've looked but couldn't find it). Does anyone know where I can find the official Qtek S200 roms, I'm hesitating a little bit to upload a non qtek rom just in case something goes wrong. I wouldn't want to end up with a € 600 phone that doesn't work.
Thanks
If you want the WWE version, I think this is the one:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe

Don't afraid of non-Qtek ROM Qtek is very lazy in update release. I got Dopod 2.15.13 on my born S200. Thу latest Qtek available is as old as 2.9.7.
The ONLY difference between the devices from differend brands is the logo on the panel. Sure.
thanks, I will give it a try

This is the latest from Qtek. However, the latest across vendors is from Dopod. To upgrade to Dopod WWE ROM follow the tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49298
Sorry in advance for the question
Just as a newbie.. I got Qtek S200 in German (bought in Switzerland) and want WWE version. I guess this thread shows the right steps. Am i right ? the procedure shown here (with the ZIP file) is good for language change ? Does the S200 will change ALL menus on Win Mobile to English ?
Thanks a lot for your answer !
PD> I saw the commercial JFAWM USB card that claims to be a simple way to do it too. What do you think ? is better for a newbie to buy it to avoid problems ? Thanka again.
Is there a newer ROM from Qtek in WWE or GER?
Upgrade tool says that i need a newer ROM for upgrade - now my XDA Neo is in Bootloader Mode
that qtek ROM is corrupt
I think the Qtek WWE ROM in ftp is the latest from Qtek & if after downloading it can be unzip, then it is not corrupt.
Can anyone enlighten newbie here what's IPL and SPL ?

The file in the ftp is in fact an .exe zip file (a self-exploding/executing zip file) where you can unzip it either with winzip or winrar. Try opening it with either one of them.

I did not said whether it is corrupt or not. I only said it is a zip file & if it can be unzip then it is not corrupt. I already downloaded it before & like Lui-kim-Su mentioned, it was good in the past but not now.
Anyway, I have a copy of it & I have uploaded the file.
