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.

Hi there...
1. i have a Dopod 818 phone and it is in Chineese... do u have any idea how i can change the language features...
2. where can i get the English manual for the phone?
3. is it possible if i flash the phone and put another windows mobile Softwares on it?
thanks.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
Please read the WiKi section for the Prophet (which is you devices HTC name).
You will find instructions on how to unlock your phone and flash it with English ROM. Since as far as I now, no one has actually made a language pack for English (assuming that is the language you want to change it to) you will have to change the ROM.
I am not sure about the manual, but check out our FTP. There should be a PDF there.
Dear friends,
I am newbies for smartphone. I bought qtek s200 in sweden.
I want to be able to read websites in Thai from the internet explore but it doesn't work out.
So I read the qtek user manual about how to change the language. But ther is no Thai language support in the regional setting.
I try to search about how to add new languages, and then I got to know that I got to upgrade Rom.
But I don't know anything about upgrading Rom. It is not in the user's manual.
Can you help me how to do it?
But I prefer to avoid upgrading Rom, if possible. Because I heard that if i do not do it properly, my devices will corrupt completely.
Thank you,
Duan

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:

Dear All,
I've bought the HTC HD Mini few days ago and can't get email reply/new messages working on a fresh Multilingual Swiss French install. Once I click reply/new message nothing happens...
Tried several times hard reset but still nothing. I have tried to install the Swiss German version a it work like a charm.
I'm very new to WM and HTC products and I'm very frustrated not being able to write and reply to my mails.
Please could someone help me to get this working.
Best Regards,
Roma
NB: I get a folder "Mail-Anlagen" which seems to be wrong
In fact, I cannot realy help you, because I have exacly the same issue.
I opened a tread by HTC, but without any success.
In fact, they respond to me that I have to phone directly to the EU support.
The probem is that I broke my phone and I am waiting its return.
Hi all,
Do some one has a French mini ?
Could some one give us the FRENCH name of the "mail-anlagen" folder on SD card ?
I suppose that renaming this folder in FRENCH it will work, but still yet no one gave me this name.
HELP required !
Hi. I have the same problem with a HD mini multilingual GER FRE ITA.
I could perform some tests, the problem appears only when you install it in Italian or French. Installing it in German it works fine.
I opened a ticket by HTC, they answered that they are aware of the problem and they are already working for a solution. I hope there will be a patch downloadable from the support site ASAP.
Many thanks for your feed back.
In fact, I suppose the french and italian version to create a wrong folder "mail-Anlage" on SD card. Perhaps if some one could be able to give me the right folder name in French, I could try to work aroud this issue.
I looked for the name in my old Windows Mobile 5.0 device and I tried to rename that folder, but no luck.
Perhaps it has been changed in Win Mobile 6.5...
I'll wait for an official answer by HTC.
I have the same problem with Persian Language!
Damned !
Hoping it resolves this issue I tryed to update the ROM to the last official one 1.36...
I used my S/N in order to download the right version.
After I installed the new ROM... I discover that only GERMAN was aviable no more french or italian version !
I asked help to HTC... no answer !
I took the decision to flash the French orginal ROM... It was not simple but actually I am very happy and the mail works perfectly.

AFAIK you have to flash a new ROM for this.
@montpoisy
No, normally, with the original multilingual version 1.07.xxx you have only to hard reset the phone. At startup, it will ask for the language. But this version has a bug with email, if you don't use it ok, elsewhere you will have to install the new 1.36 ROM.
If you download the new version from HTC with your serial #, you will receive a german version only. After that you have to contact the HTC support, they will provide an add on for multilanguage, and all works ok.
Another option is to install the original french version 1.36.xxx as explained somewhere in this forum.
hope it helps

Thanks for information, never heard that before.
Thank you Moscard,
The hard reset did not regulate the probleme.
I'll try to replace my ROM by the last ROM french but i want be sure. Is Tom Photon V1.2 Buid 24622 the good version to flash my ROM
Ok, you probably have an original German version. If you had a multingual version is writen on the case with a red label (FRANCAIS / ITALIANO / DEUTSCH). It seems this version is only provided in Switzerland. If you realy own an original mutiligual version the hard reset reinstall all the soft, operators and ask for language at the first startup only.
Remark : For hard reset, after turing off the phone (power for a while) you have to push Volume + and Volume - buttons in the same time at statup (power).
You have two options
1) Official with maintaining the warranty
- Download and install officilal ROM from HTC with serial #. You will receive a German version 1.36.xxx. Don't panic it is all under control
- Ask to HTC suport the addon for multiligual, or download it here :

On this forum, you will find a lot of information about your issue as well
2) Install the original French ROM
See some explanation here:

EDIT
You will find ROM here : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Photon/
You normally need FRA 1.36.xxx
