First off my apologies should I be out of line in asking.
(Lame excuse but I never take time to read anything).
I was recently given an O2 XDA Mini, the problem is it's in German v1.12.01
and I'd like to continue to have the standard O2 Crap, but I'd like to be able to use an English version of the ROM.
So heres the rub, could some Kind Soul hook me up with an Original O2 XDA Mini ROM ~in English~?
Thanks.
P.s. Could someone ~as an alternative~ kindly recommend a Non-Operator (e.g. O2), version ROM?
I've tried the OS 1.12.00 / ExtROM 1.12.920 / Radio 1.12 and it still had O2 Crap on it, and worse still.
It was according to O2 outdated as a newer version was repoted for it.
Then latter on my XDA got locked out of using the O2 Updater altogether.
I have since managed to return to the Original German Version of the ROM, but I'd really like to be able to use English on my XDA Mini.
So again thanks...
Search the Magician forum for the procedure. Many generous members have written guidelines. Secondly, read the wiki. It will also point you to the ftp and you'll be able to download an English O2 rom.

I made quite the mistake yesterday. I have an MDA compact that came from T-Mobile Germany and originally had german as the default language. It was easy to change to english by going to regional settings & selecting english.
So I didn't think twice about using a German T-Mobile ROM upgrade - and now I'm stuck with GERMAN!!! Regional settings doesn't change the language any more! what the heck?
Sooooo, I need a WWE .exe ROM that will load - I tried a UK WWE and I was told by the installer that I had the wrong language and install could not continue. Is there a way to go back to WWE? I don't care at this point what version.....
Also, I have downloaded from the FTP server other ROM versions but they are all .nb1 files and, despite my best efforts, I can't understand the proper way to install these. I've looked thru lots of posts and found one set of instructions but they were very hard to understand. HELP!!

is wwe 1.12 stable? btw do u know the different between all this
WWE_11200_172_11200
WWE_11200_550_11200
any idea?
Yes, for me its stable... I used both of them, but I think, 550 is more friendly, but I couldn't know your taste...
If I remember well, 550 is a Qtek S100 rom, 172 is an Orange or something else.

yeah that right jorde, ur memory is good.
but most of people in this forum says that v1.12 is not stable due to gprs and bluetooth problems & and it also used more memory than the old version. Is that true?
btw jorde, did u know how to update the caller id? because it says dll file is being used unable to update the callerID. Even after I restating, still being used. can u help me with it. thanks..
I think, everybody on this forum always want to use the best and the newest SW... For me its ok, I had only a little bluetooth problem, for my bluetooth gps I need COM8 port, but XDA mini has COM5 by default, but I got a good program (GPSGate) to make it virtually.
But the bluetooth by itselves absolut ok.
For me, Caller ID is no problem, Phone --- Tools----- Option----- Caller ID, and it works without problems.
Perhaps, some other program use it.
Hello everyone,
I have on order a o2 xda neo, I was told by the salesman that
the manual and os were in english.
I have now found out that the neo is a german version of the
i mate jamin. I feel very stupid.
What does this mean in real life terms? Will it have a german
interface that I can't read? will I have to flash the os?
anyone?
thanks,

O2 XDA Neo
Hi.
I have O2 XDA Neo too, it's one week now. It's from Germany so everything was completely german. I flashed the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip from here, it's english version.
But first, try to search for english localization of WM5. I you won't find it then flash the new ROM. The problem is, there is no solution to go back to O2 German ROM nowadays for IPL, SPL version 2.15.0001. You will surely get the new version. But in month or two, there will be tool to unlock the phone to be able to flash lower versions of ROMs. Read the forum, it's priceless source of information.
Thank you Median for your reply, I have heard many horror
stories about flashing ROM,but if I have to I will, So what your saying is
the ROM on the OS is different from the WM5 and that I have to flash both.
I appreciateyou taking the trouble to answer me.
chance
The file is the Dopod's ROM, it's newer version then O2's and includes english WM5. Flashing was abslolutely no problem on my Neo. It takes about 10-15 mins to flash. Some say 30 mins, but for me it was quick. And the best thing you can do when flashing ROM - don't watch it, it doesn't like it. You know, it's intimate time for the device

1) Do you have to CID unlock your Prophet before flashing to the Dopod Rom?
2) What was your SPL / IPL prior to flashing?
3) Does flashing change your SPL / IPL?
4) I have Orange SPV M600 with IPL 2.10.0001 / SPL 2.10.0001 and someone told me that i need to CID unlock first to be able to flash ROMs.
Is this true?
5) Also i do not see the M600 original ROM available for download, how do i go back to orange ROM if need be? Will it be possible if orange made their ROM available for download?
Pls help.
I've just flashed my O2 Neo bought in Germany, ver. 2.09.0001. I used the ROM available in the forum,
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
and it worked FINE. GREAT! I bought the telephone unlocked in Germany from O2, didn't needed to unlock CID. My GSM card from my brazil operator worked fine. Wifi too.
Thanks, I will try the Portuguese ROM now.
I have a question, if I flash the O2 neo to english version, the home-zone function will be lost or not?
It will be Lost but u can install the homezone needed files from the ext.rom afterwards. These Files should be available on the ftp Server.
AND:
I did also upgrade my German O2-XDA NEO to the mentioned Dopod rom - And you can also go back to the (older) Neo Rom later.
I do not know why but it is possible to downgrade from Dopod to the newest O2 rom, maybe because both are 2.15.x.x.?!
Hey guys
I picked up XDA Neo without thinking and cheking properly and i have adoubt that the device is not what the box says the bos says O2 neo and device dosen't say anything but O2 XDA and when I boot it, it says
HTC innovation
and next screen
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
GSM 02.19.21
OS 2.15.13.27
Dopod
Enjoy Mobility
I'm confused what it is???
I searched on net and read some where that XDA neo is for German market and for English Rom you update it with latest Rom for JAMin since they both have similar specs!
Now my question to gurus is whether is should try it or not?
If I loose it will anyone here be able to tell me how revive it?
I already paid 1200 for re-image once don’t want to pay again but that crash was due to some other software I was trying to install on the device.
Last but not the least where can i find LATEST ROM IMAGE FOR JAMin????
I will try and post the results here & I have no fear of loosing warranty since bought it from the gray market.
Please Advice.
Regards
Sainib
OK
so far I could find out that the ROM image that I'm using on my phone is "RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship"
so can anyone suggest which version os imate JAMin rom will work on it?? and where I can find it?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Sainib
It's simple.
Dopod 818pro, XDA Neo, Qtek s200, i-mate Jamin, Orange SPV M600 are all the exact same device manufactured by HTC under the name Prophet.
Obviously the device you have already had a ROM change.
Now first thing I recommend you do is make sure that the device you are holding looks like one of the names I listed above.
Any version of the Jamin ROM will do but you probably want the latest, with all the updates.
Then, you can go to www.clubimate.com and download the latest WWE (World Wide English) ROM from there. The only problem might be that you need to register your IMEI on the site to get access to the download area. I am not sure if they will except a device that wasn't originally branded i-mate.
Alternatively try looking on this site ftp (user xda, password xda all small letters).
One last thing. Search this forum. I read that some people think Dopod ROM is better than i-mate and some viceversa, but they all have their pluses and minuses.

Ah my mistake, the site is www.clubimate.com I fixed the message now. Anyway the ROM there is one of those you found, don't remember exactly which one so I guess it is useless to you.
The trouble is Dopod ROM version is higher then i-mate so the installer thinks you are trying to downgrade. I think there is a version of the updater on the FTP that will solve this but I am not sure.
At the top of the site there is a link to the WiKi, check there on how to downgrade.
As for FTP, I meant this site:
ftp://xda:[email protected]
Check out the Prophet directory.

I've been reading the forums, but I cannot find the solution to my problem. I just bought my T-Mobile MDA Compact II (HTC Artemis) in Dutch and I would like to change the language to English. I've read there's a T-Mobile ROM UK, but where can I download it? And how to install? If I connect to the FTP server the folders in Artemis are emtpy except for the EXT Rom folder. But the size of the rar's is a little low, not like I experienced with updating my rom on my Magician before. Those rar's were about 40-45MB. Anybody wants to help me please! If the thread is allready open somewheren, I apologise, please PM me then...

Edit: I read some more, got little more information, did some things. Yesterday I sim/CID unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Compact III trough imei-check.co.uk (respect for this guy!!), and now I can use it with my own carrier. Now that the simlock and CID lock is gone, I would like to change/update the rom to an English version. I don't mind the T-Mobile ROM, I only care about the English language. If it's possible to put an HTC ROM on my device, I would prefer that, but not completely necessary. What ROM should I use, because I heard that the Dutch version is the only one WITH an WiFi chip? Can someone point me in the right direction? In the FTP account I can only see the ext rom, I found this rom: HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP. Should this work with my current configuration?

Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!
This is the info you need:

Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once
O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?
