Somebody asked me about this through pm.
My advice is to:
- upgrade to the newest shipped English CE ROM (O2 1.11 or JAM 1.12)
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/
- change it to BigStorage (Two-byte method)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24500&highlight=
- upgrade the radio to 1.13 (newest)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25465&highlight=
- install ROS Chinese support and HWPenCE
http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=3807
http://www.pdabase.com/download/SoftView.asp?SoftID=2635
- clean install all other programs
The rationale is as follows:
- English ROMs run faster than Chinese ROMs and have less compatibility issues for softwares
(you can just upgrade the CE ROM, i.e. nk.nbf, by renaming the Extended ROM ms.nbf and the radio rom radio.nbf)
- It is now very safe to use the Direct Method to get BigStorage and you can install most of your softwares to Storage
- The newest radio ROM 1.13 is by far the best and the most stable
- ROS Chinese supports both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and occupies the least memory. It supports SMS in Chinese even better than Chinese ROMs
- HWPenCE is similar to and even better than the Hand Recognition built into Chinese ROMs
- It is more reliable to reinstall the programs after upgrade, unless you are familiar with the advanced features of Sprite Backup, in particular their add-on utility for ROM upgrades
I think I don'd understand what really is the extended rom.... Can you help me?

Search the forum. It has been discussed plenty.
The Extended ROM is a special part of the ROM, that is used of the providers to add their own and additonal files, that have to be installed on the first use of this device. It only have Programs and Reg-Settings in it. Afetr the installtion of this programs, the Memory Part of the extended ROM is useless for the device. You can't access the extended ROM and you can not save data on this memory....
Therefore the bigStorage hack is used to free this memory-part.
HTH

Many thanks!
So... I'm Italian and I buoght my Jam with std Italian ROM.
I like to have Engl leanguage on all my devices so I hack the Country ID and I installed the WWE ROM.
It works fine but I lost some of Italian configuration and some applications (e.g. eTrust antivirus)...
I think that these applications are contained on Italian Extended ROM... is it right?
If is it right... can I install the Italian extended ROM in the WWE ROM?
Or... can I extract the eTRust antivirus and install it on my WWE ROM?
Yes, you should be able to install the programs of the italian extended ROM on the WWE ROM. Since most of the tools are os independet it should be no big problem.
The QtekS100_ITA_1.03.151 ExtRom is on the FTP. If your version was newer or anything else, than you have to get the files by yourself.....
Stefan
Great!
I've got i-mate Jam with the last WWE ROM downloaded fron the clubimate site...
I'd like to install the extended rom's app of Jam instead of S100...
Is possible to download the Jam's ext rom? ANy link?
Many thanks guys!
The new uploaded ROM is availbale for Cooking.
Don´t know exactly what are the differences to the other ROMs.
This ROM does not include any Stnadard Operator Conifg and it does not include the wmodem application....
Stefan
Trying to build a ROM using the 4.02.04 english version the available space reported by kitchen is only 415KB instead of the expected 4150KB (as reported near selection).
Is it a kitchen bug or the available ROM space with this version is really of 415KB ? :shock:
Bye
Thx for the hint.
Was a typo on my "slow" romkitchen....
Fixed it already.
Stefan
so, will it be better than 4.01.16??? cuz it given me a hell of tough times! what version u recommend for win2003?
Hi, new member here. Just bought my T-Mobile HD2 about 4 days ago.
First I want to say a big thank you to all the mods/senior members/and contributors for creating such a wonderful forum and resource centre for the HD2.
I've read most of the stickied threads and noob guides, but before I get started with flashing my T-Mobile HD2, there are some concerns and questions I wish to clarify:
My T-Mobile software specs (completely stock, purchased on the 24th Apr 2010) :
OS version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila Version 2.5.20121412.1
Rom version 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Rom date 02/22/10
Radio version 2.08.50.08_2
What I wish to do to my T-Mobile HD2 :
1) SIM unlock the phone so I can use any carrier/SIM card from any service provider, anywhere around the globe, since I'm a frequent traveller.
2) Traditional Chinese support, more specifically Taiwanese language support. I have loads of files in Traditional Chinese and having the Asian language support is my top priority.
3) Flash the T-Mobile HD2 to the original HTC Taiwan rom, but retaining the full 576mb ram and 1gb Rom spec. OR Source some cooked rom that contains Traditional Chinese support (Trad Chinese = Taiwanese) that is compatible with the T-Mobile HD2 spec.
So.... from my understanding, based on the stickied threads on this forum, I need to perform the following :
1) Flash HARDSPL
2) Flash the appropriate rom (Which I can't find, I tried everywhere)
3) Flash the appropriate radio (Not sure if its 100% necessary)
4) Hard reset
Am I going on the right track? Please advise, and thanks in advance.
Bump.
A language pack would do the job, I don't really have to flash my phone to a traditional chinese rom.
Any idea where I can source such language pack? I googled everywhere but can't seem to find a T-Mobile compatiable pack.
asian language

the htc msg interface does not allow asian fonts.
but surely the official HTC taiwanese rom should support asian fonts?

Its a good job you havent found an official taiwanese rom, if you flash that rom (should you find it) you will kill your phone.
Your phone can ONLY support the tmous offical 2.x rom, or cooked roms based on that 2.x rom.
The taiwanese rom, should you find it, will:-
1 - be version 1.66 (probably) so wont run
2 - will include a radio, almost certainly a ..51.. radio - result? bricked phone.
Your best option is a tmous compatible cooked rom with the correct language.
no, what I meant was to extract the font from the taiwanese rom. I've been doing some googling and digging on various forums, apprantely you can get a language pack installed, but the links are dead : (
http://ricky119.com/chinesesupport/
Search for "MS Arial unicode font". It's what that website fonts are based on. Be warned that it is a whopping 22 Mb since it is a full Unicode set.
Having the font installed allows you to read Chinese. It will not change the entire wm 6.5 menu into that language.
Also, It does not integrate into the current keyboard software. For Chinese input, you still need something like the one I suggested in my earlier post.
