Hello,
I have a HTP P3600 and the Rom is in Portuguese with GPS working.
Is it possible to convert Rom in Portuguese to a English Rom (specially because Portuguese Rom don't allow me to use Characters Recoginition Input Method).
I also would like to know, if anyone knows how can i backup the information in My phone (Firmware, Software, Data, etc).
Thx everyone
The ROM is your OS. Like on a normal PC - if you change the OS you can put a different language on it. Best thig is you probably have WM5 portuguese ROM and you can put English WM6 ROM instead. - This gives you an update at the same time!
This is the firmware! If you have the HTC WM5 Portuguese ROM - no need to back up, you can download and reflash the original ROM - have a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
it also shows you most of the WM6 ENG ROMS too - but have a good look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=359 to find the ROM best suited to your need. (You're gonna need a lot of time - there's a lot of reading to do!)
Your software should be re-installable if not already in the ROM - see a post called " a post for all the cabs " - there's plenty there!
You data should be backed up using Activesync and your PC. This should let you put WM6 ENG, you software and also your data back on your lovely Trinity if you flash a WM6 ROM.
Now go get readin'

Hi,
sorry if this question was asked but I could not find previous posts.
I would like to try newer ROMs on my Qtek S200, but before I'd like to backup the current, original, ROM (SPL 2.09.0000, Italian OS), just in case.
However, wizBackup (mtty 1.42) refuses to dump the ROM since the phone is not CID unlocked (the error is "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image"). AFAIK the only way to CID-unlock the prophet with SPL 2.xx it is to use the downgrade procedure explained elsewhere. However, in this way I would loose the original ROM before I could backup it!
Is there some way to dump the original ROM before downgrading to unlock the device?
ok, I'll ask an easier question, then
anyone has dumped (or knows from where to download) localised Qtek s200 ROMs (especially Italian)? I can find no download area at www.qtekcorp.com
Two people lookin'... indeed :lol:
I'm still having - after 3 months - the same two problems.
Has someone sorted them out ?
Thanks and excuse my bump
looking for the same thing.
I'll end up unlocking and upgrading my S200 without a backup of the original ROM. I doubt Qtek will release any upgrades since the device is quite old now.
It's a shame they did not even release the original rom for download.
So too bad, I'll take the risk and unlock the phone. I'm confident that the imate Italian ROM, though not very new, will work better than the one I have now.
My S200 is 6 months "old", and for the very first three months, it hasn't any support data on pocketdevice site because "too new".
Now is it obsolete and nobody will release anything for such brick ???
What a kind of policy is it ?
Thank you, but I think this is a dead-end policy for QTEK
Bye
Qtek S200 Original .Cab files?
Does anyone have access to the original .cab configuration files that came under the 2.09 Rom Ver. ?????
Trying to remove the Batt. & Comm Manger icon from the base of the screen.
Under the 2.09 version both icons were removed when the unit 1st configures its self and places a batt. icon on the top tool bar.
Not looking to install any additional program that monitors all of these items just want the original config .cabs that perform all of these task.
Please post link or notify via private msg, Thanks
read the wiki
the official and original 2.09 files are on the ftp server....

Has anyone managed to successfully upgrade or change rom?
If yes, what rom did you start from and what steps for the upgrade/transition?
This will be useful information for all.
THanks,
I'd like to know the same thing. My Orbit came loaded with TMo MDA Compact III ROM instead of O2 ROM. Needless to say I'm a bit peeved. The vendor is trying to fix but I really need the UK or WWE English ROM for O2. Has anyone dumped this ROM?
well,
on the wiki you will find the tmobile uk wwe rom. this is flashable if your machine is cid unlocked-in case it is not(standard) you will get kicked out off the installation by a comment named "wrong ID model" at about 3% of the running routine.
to unlock cid and flash the named rom, afaik the only way is to pay imeicheck.co.uk.
afaik there is no other vendour rom available yet, meaning no chance to fully switch to e.g. O2 etc.
alternatively you can exit the installation prior to extrom installation via a softreset at the 3second count. this not installing your provider cabs, you can then download the various available extrom cabs from the wiki and install them manually by copy and double-tap on your device.
Thormdac,
This is helpful info. Can you help me with this question: I have a greek htc p3300 rom but I would be happy to have the English version. Should I simply prevent ext rom from installing or do I need to change rom? If I need to change rom will I be able to do so or could it be locked to the Greek rom?
Thanks,
dear apap,
language is purely locked to the rom version and has simply nothing whatsover to do with the extrom version cabs you install!!!
in order to change language to english then you have to use a rom stating...."wwe" somewhere in its declaration.wwe=worldwideenglish.
now your machine "htc p3300" is with wireless lan, right? afaik, the tmouk rom has not implemented wlan on my german hero(without wlan!). the community here still isnt sure where the wlan comes from, the chip or the rom. so if i remember correctly and the tmouk rom not having wlan support, but your machine needing it, then once u unlocked cid and install the tmouk rom should end you up not having a functional wlan! in case we suppose wrongly...you are the guinnea-pig...you should have wlan. confusing? well i simply dont know off by heart any more about the uk machines having or not having wlan.
greetz
Helpful once again Thermdoc,
The Greek version does have wlan so I will wait to see if somenoe manages to find a wwe rom that is wlan enabled before experimenting.
cheers, apap
Hi All,
I wonder if somebody knows where I can find a rom of Proximus in Belgium.
Hi,
I'm from Belgium also ... why would you like to have that rom? Just install the latest ROM version here available ... I think that's the best ROM you can have ...
Well, I'm also looking for that rom and more specifically for the extrom.
Proximus added some special items in that extrom which I would like to have :
The mobile TV player (and I guess you also need the certificates), a custom version of MMS composer and a cab file which sets all connection settings, etc.
So if anybody has that rom (or ExtRom), please post it here.
Regards,
Bendalf
UP!!
Anybody can HELP with that?
Up I'm really interested in that too...
In fact I want to try upgrade to WM6 but I also want to be able to put the phone back to it's original state.
I don't know if it's really possible cause I have to update all software parts...
The reason is for warranty...
Guys,
Don't know exactly what part of the ext rom you're referring to? I bought a regular Dutch TyTn and have been flashing and reflashing and reflashing again From WM5 to 6 and back again, changing SPL in between and even started a little cooking of my own.
Most of the cooked roms work (very) well, but if you really want to make sure, you need to dump your original rom first before you flash a new one. (read the wiki and all the threads you can find first)
Anyway, I hope you have as much fun as me discovering how to customize your hermes and make it do what you want, how you want it and more important, make it do what you want it to do.
Grtz.
Hi aeroke,
Thank for your answer.
In fact, I'm just waiting to be sure that I can if needed (ie: hardware problem that need warranty) I can restore the phone to the exact original state to avoid any warranty problem.
So tell me if I'm wrong but full original state is:
- original IPL
- original SPL
- original radio rom
- original rom
- original extended rom
For now, I try to find each "original pieces" before upgrading
- for extended rom: I unhide it and simply copy/paste content of "Extended_rom" folder to my computer. Is it the right way ?
- for rom: I find a tutorial on the wiki and I'll follow it this evening, I hope I can do that
- for radio rom, IPL, SPL: for now, I don't know if it's possible to get (by dumping or downloading) the original ones and restore them after
I write all the informations I found in my phone for the original versions, here there are:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04
version ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
version Radio: 1.03.03.10
version de Protocole: 32.34.7010.01H
version ROM Extended: 1.18.256.9643
So, as soon I'll be sure that I can roll back to the original state, I'll upgrade to the WM6 schaps version by following the vanx guide.
I found a guide for backing up and restore the TyTN by dumping the ROM just here. But I never found any guide to restore SPL, radio ROM, IPL...
I'll be happy to have any informations about that.
Thank you in advance
Don't worry about the warranty, i bricked my Hermes once (only after that i found out how to do it right ) and it was repaired with no extra costs. So i wouldn't worry to much about it.
Just go ahead and flash that thingy. Btw, the Black Satin (JJ) together with radio 1.47.00.10 works perfectly with Proximus.
Thanks for your response, I'll look about Black Satin.
Just another question, is there any incompatibility with any WM6 and Extended_Rom software provided by Proximus ?
I haven't used any software from Proximus untill now, bought my Hermes with standard WM5 and flipped in my Proximus SIM card. The software you find here on the forums do everything that you can imagine, so there is really no need for special proximus software i guess.
As far as I can tell, the IPLdoesn't change normally, but the SPL does change. Anyway no worries as you can restore your original SPL (I still have the 1.04 somewhere)
The radio rom can always be flashed back with the original duth rom you find here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
This rom also reflashes your IPL and SPL back.
As far as compatibility between the WM6 roms and Proximus soft goes, I don't know, but I can't imagne you need more/other soft than you find available right here.
EDIT: This is only my personal opinion, but I think I tried about al the WM6 roms and find the one from Schaps the most stable one, perhaps not the most graphicaly exciting one, but the most stable one.
Grtz
Settings Proximus
Hi, I'm also on Proximus here in Belgium. Has anyone found an Ext_rom yet from this provider? Or maybe any ideas when they will launch their wm6 version?
I haven't got the settings for proximus. Any help?
Tnx in advance
Hi,
I have one Hermes from their "Proximus Collection" so I have a Proximus Ext ROM on it. I can do a Backup of it and upload it to the xda wiki. (I'll do that this evening if I can).
I don't know if Proximus will provide an upgrade to WM6...
Thanks Genyam for your help.
Can you tell us the rom version you have ?

Would that work with WM6?
I don't know if it works with WM6 but as this is only a set of CAB files, I suppose that they are compatible.
I've already created and uploaded to xda ftp a dump of my ROM.
My infos:
ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
Extended ROM: 1.18.256.9643
The CID for the Proximus Hermes: QTEK_203
OK thnx, grabbin it right now. Is it French only?
The dump that is already uploaded is for ROM, not Ext_ROM, I'll put my Ext_ROM this evening.
I suppose that it's not french only cause when I hard reset my Hermes it's in Dutch.
yeah thnx i noticed. Np, i'll grab it tonight then.
The Extended Rom is added to this wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms

Hi,
I have a P3300, I bought in China. It came with an English WM5 rom. I registered the device on the HTC Club Support site to get the WM6 upgrade. So I was very happy that now it came out but then the bummer: it will only let me download the dutch version. No idea why.
So I have to questions: Can I somehow change the language to English after upgrading? Second is it possible to write HTC support to give me an English WWE version instead?
I don't want to install any pirated version that will brick my device, therefore I waited a long time for the official update to come out and now I cannot use it? Neither do I want to install the dutch version (since I do not speak any dutch) and not being able to restore my English one.
Btw, does anyone have an idea why it will only let me download dutch even if my system is English?
Thanks for any help!

English version is fully available on this forum please see the WM6 upgrading topic. the one of TOM CODON is a very good choice.
cyberhoschi:
each htc device is identified with imei (unique number). imei number is linked to country, where device was originally sold.
if after registration on htc, you are presented with dutch rom, then device is dutch. normally, you are not able to buy device with english rom in China. it was re-flashed with engl. rom. in this case, service center already can tell you that you violate the warranty.
what you can do/
- download dutch rom from htc (original rom for your device). good idea if you have wm5 and wm6 handy. this is the rule - before flashing, always have original rom for your device. if things will go bad, you can go back to original rom.
- using uspl, you can re-flash with any rom (almost any, uspl needs some patching).
- if you try to flash dutch device with engl. wm6 htc rom, it will most likely will not flash even with uspl installed. to correct this, you need to extract files with winrar utility from flasher (.exe file, a new rom)
- open .nbh file (one of extracted files) in winhex or other hex editor and modify model id.
example:
if you want to flash dutch device with engl. rom, you will need to modify HTC__001 to code relevant for Holland. alternatevely, you can put 11111111, it should work too.
- save .nbh file.
- perform flashing as you would nornally do.

I need to flash finnish rom HTC_P3300_FIN_3.13.414.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R, and it has
string HTC__I14 starting in address 000001e0h.
My original rom has string HTC__001 in that same spot.
Should the new rom flash successfully if I change HTC__I14 to HTC__001? (Or 11111111)
Am I getting this right?
Hi everyone,
Initially, I'm French, so sorry for my English
I've bought my HTC Touch Diamond 2 with the official SFR ROM, it's a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM.
Today, on the HTC website support page http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=733 , I saw the official update. But when I'm trying to make my serial number in the box, I've a message who says that the download is not adapted for my device, I understand this, because I suppose to wait the official SFR ROM, but I'm fed up waiting...
So I've found a "magic" serial code to download the file , but I know if I want to install this ROM, I'm require to Hard-SPL my HTC TD2.
I'm ready for that, but I'm asking you a question : If I install this ROM, the configurations are they the same as the old SFR ROM ? I've to configure my phone ?
When I'm install a ROM, is it necessarily to install radio ROM ?
Thanx for your help !
