XDA in French

Hello,
Anybody could tell me where XDA is available in French or how flash an english version into french version ?

Yes,
XDA is available through Bouygues Telecom in French.
Rom version 3.15.06 FRA
Version Radio T313

FRENCH BOUYGUES TELECOM QTEK1010
Yes indeed it's available in France through Bouygues Telecom. I just received mine and the radiostack version is 4.16.00. My question: Where can one download any rom upgrades suitable for this device without compromising the pda, as the telco company does not plan to release or make any upgrade for this device available to endusers? Is it possible to change the OS language and thus get quicker access to a wider selection of applications and rom upgrades ?
Tnanking you in advance for your answers, i remain. Adhoc

Sorry but I don't know. But I hope somenone will answer because I just received mine too.
I suppose that if the hardware is the same we could flash it with an newer English rom (from o2 or ...)
I hope so because if there is no update for the french ROM ... :evil:
Maybe there a technical support at bouygues to ask ?

There are 5 different CE builds for the device. English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
It is up to the network operator to chose which they sell. If you don't like the language they sell tell them.

It is not about the langage it is about to have the latest version for the rom, radio stack... on the qtek from bouygues.
The English Rom are often updated whereas I'm not sure the french rom will be. I prefer to have the OS in english but be able to upgrade my Qtek with english ROM with latest bug fixes instead to keep an older french rom.
The question is to know if an O2 rom, for example, will work on a qtek from bouygues ? Is it the same hardware between both ...?

The radio and CE versions go hand in hand. You need the correct CE version for a particular radio version to run properly. French updates do occur, and usually comprise both a CE and radio update together, they are just less frequent. Development work is done on the English version and the other languages are released with a number of updates and fixes combined.

Thank you about that and the other answers.
But, I am looking for the 64 Mb XDA, which is not available through BOUYGUES, and also non sim-locked... to use it with ORANGE.
I know somebody who has the french version. If I buy an english version, then I backup the French Rom and Radio to put it back into the english XDA I would have, do you think it would be OK ?
If yes, I buy it tomorrow... to relace my odd iPaq with its enormous "jacket"...

Personnally my problem is that I don't know if Bouygue ? (or I don't know who) will update french roms as often as english roms...
And if nobody upgrade the french rom as often as the english I prefer put an English rom on my french Qtek to be sure to have the latest upgrades.
To resume I have to call bouygue to know where I can find updated french roms or find if I can put english rom in my french qtek ...

Hello,
can somebody tell me where to download a french rom for my Qtek 1010 ?
Thanks.
Pierre.

xda II in french??

hi anyone knows a way of changing an english rom of xdaII to french language??

Dory, please read :
http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=11220#11220
Quite a few are interested in getting a ROM in French, but according to XDA-DEVELOPERS it's not for today, not even for tomorrow. Let's wait until Bouygues Telecom releases a French version of WM 2003... But then you won't get all the goodies you can cook which have to go along only with an English ROM !
I am quite happy with a ROM cooked in Jeff's kitchen (thanks and praise to him) 4.00.11 ENG working very well with radio version 4.16.00 on O2 Asia 64MB.
From friends' experience this ROM is doing equally well on SX 56 and T-Mobile with original radio versions. From my own experience, hangups and slow operation encountered by some are due to newly installed programs which need a hard reset after installation.
Interkey keyboard in French is very helpful. Thanks Tenzin !
Then what do one needs French for ? :? Only a matter of habit, after a few weeks you operate automatically and do not even realize it's in English...
Bonne chance !

Please explain the procedure for eng update
Hi wikidorg,
Please upload the files somewhere (os.nbh) and explain the procedure to upgrade to eng version. Ruu file will also be needed.
Drahtman

Hi Drahtman... there is no os.nbh in english in my upgrade... i have only clean upgrade (with tested Ruu and hexedited CEOS.nbf) for the group of four languages supported by HP official 6900 series updates: German, Spanish, Danish and French... For the english update i simply used awizard tool, and the 1.21.00uk ceos.nba downloaded from xda-developers forum...i made hundreds of unsuccessfully tests upon the french OS, and, after flashing with spanish OS, awizard method worked from the first try... so, now is english 1.21uk..
Regards

Are you shure this is working ?
Hi wikidorg,
I will try this when i will have time. I hope this is working solution ? Are you shure about that ?

(meanwhile, i've made a new try with English OS nba via awizard method, this time from "Safe mode", after hard reset my hw6915 have English OS and all programs work fine... I need the radio.nba backup from original 1.21uk installation, to test via the same method...)

You mean I must flash my 6915 to spanish os firstly then use awizard tool flash 1.21.00uk ceos.nba into it? Would you please send me a e-mail about how to flash my 6915 to english os? My E-mail address is [email protected]
best regards
palamedes

for aWizard it doesn't matter OS language as long as you work "by the book" with program's instructions... i was just posting the things how it worked that day; i changed my OS language about 10 times from that day and worked everytime... but aWizard is not a "secure way" so I intend to find a way to obtain English CEOS.nbf to put it toghether with Sable_RUU, and most of all, to find a stable RadioOs.nbf and RadioFS.nbf and release the complete solution... By now I can work exclusivelly with OS, all i have posted here is not a real upgrade, is language changing (with a secondary upgrade effect)... Anyway, my 6915 is still bricked, with no radio GSM, as a result of my first try to change the language), so don't flash anything except the CEOS.nbf and to 69xx... And, by the way, if SOMEONE CAN MAKE A RADIO BACKUP WITH AWIZARD, it would be helpful...

Hi wikidorg !
What do you mean with bricked radio ? Why dont you try with french ROM like i did ? This French upgrade includs GSM stack and OS upgrade. I did it your way this ENG upgrade, but something went wrong in the midle of upgrade process so i went to bootloader mode and upgrade my iPAQ with French ROM witch included GSM stack and then repeated your procedure of ENG upgrade. Why dont you try this way like i do ? By the way, you never mentioned in your procedure that i must do 3 steps in awizard tools. My first step was: Enable RAPI with "e" <enter> then Unlock CID with "u" <enter> and the last step was Start with OS ROM write to the device "w" <enter>. Then everything went well and after 10 min. the procedure successfuly ends. After a Hard Reset the system boot up and evrything was OK ! One thing still was not OK, the french folders from FRENCH upgrade was present in windows folder, so i deleted them and this was it. And the second thing: After Hard reset, when the windows boot up for the first time, you must wait until windows come to the point where screen aligning begin, then you must Soft Reset the Windows and this is it. I hope this thread will help someone.
Best Regards,
Drahtman

Hi Drahtman
Well, i supposed you knew to deal with aWizard, like everybody else trying to flash the 69xx, and, however, the procedure is very well described in aWizard's contents...You can also immagine i already knew what's inside the French upgrade... i've tryed hundreds of full flash (including RadioOs and everything else), but radio stack crash at 1%... and not only with the french RadioOs (btw, is an ENG RadioOs+RadioFs), but with all the other RadioOs and RadioFs from other upgrades.. the same result, the radio stack crash at 1%... that's happening from the first time i tryed Orange upgrade (some weird text appeard at Radio version in Sable_RUU, but i wasn't paying attention that time)...
anyway, you said you can help, just send a radio.nba made with aWizard and i'll try to put it into my 6915 to see if that works...
regards...

TNG, that's is NOT an english update, is the GERMAN ceos.nbf ver 1.47... is just a bad joke from someone with a weird sense of humour... thanks anyway...

Hi wikidorg,
I try this morning to read the radio rom out of my iPAQ but with no success.
I thing this awizard tools dont support this operation on iPAQs. What do you thing about that ? Sorry i will try to find another solution just give me some time.
Regards,
Drahtman

no problem, i was suspecting it won't work but i thought it worthed a try...
see, Drahtman, if we have a full CEOS.nbf (let's say the French version), 65.291kb, we have some tools to split the nbh into parts (nbhextract),tools to transform nbf to nbh, we could obtain separate extracts from the CEOS, including the os.nb which seems to be the same size with the English CEOS.nba from aWizard method... Then, if we could reverse the whole process, after switching the new generated os.nb with our English CEOS.nba, perhaps we could put togheter an English CEOS.nbf with the same size like the French CEOS.nbf and i could try to make it works with Sable_RUU... what about that?

Great idea !
This sounds good, but could you do that ? I read a lot on this forum but this is not so simple. If somebody could help on this project will be much easyer. Why all the people who needs this ENG rom dont do anything ? I was try this because of you and it worked out. Maybe, if i write down the exact procedure, somebody will try out this awizard hw6915 ENG upgrade. Please somebody report success story on this awizard ENG upgrade ! I was try this and it worked (with some little problems), but it worked ! I will write down this procedure in the future so anybody can upgrade his iPAQ to 1.21 UK ROM version. If somebody will have succes on this upgrade please let me know.
Best Regards,
Drahtman

there is an alternate method: using cert_spcs.cab and enablerapi.cab from aWizard and installing "wizard service tool" you have a GUI flasher for the same 1.21.00 UK ENGLISH nba... lot easyer, you can see flash progress "on the fly"... is tested by me and works 100%... DO NOT USE any other feature from "WIZARD SERVICE TOOL", unless you know what you do...

Multilingual - DE - IT - FR Swiss Email Problem

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 :
http://htc-touch-diamond.forumactif...ible-d-envoyer-un-e-mail-t19587-30.htm#260771
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
