Hi there !
I have flashed Ver 1.1 then 1.2 on my O2-Asia, and several T-Mobile and SX56 of my friends and business partners. No accident so far.
Congratulations and thanks to xda-developers. Even went once to WM 2003, then back to ver 1.2. Never touched radio upgrades though.
Questions from a newbie : can I cook my own ROM in French with Jeff's kitchen ? Assuming I would have a basic ROM (from Bouygues ?), will it mix with other apps in English ? If it works, should I upgrade the radio part too ?
Cheers 8)
I was thinking of creating some elaborate translation mechanism with lots of search/replace strings for the ROMkitchen. Then I figured most people really only want the keyboard layout and word-completion for the language they speak and the keyboard they're used to.
We have a volunteer currently looking into what would be involved in creating our own keyboard layouts and completion dictionaries. Stay tuned...
well as french using an UK o2 XDA in France i was alson wondering, but i remember trying to put an english rom on my french version ipaq 3 month ago, i realized that bootloader of the device is also looking for language so that i was not able to update it to wince 2003 eng cause it was e franch device.
actually to solve my problem on the xda which is only for me to manage a azerty keyboard with french accent i use a software that change the keyboard.
That would be great to have the diferent language dictionaries, keyb and os language files nevertheless, but seems to be quite a hard job ...

Thanks a lot to both xda developer Peter Poelman and Cyberb0b.
Agree that most of us will be happy only to have a French layout keyboard. For the rest, English is now the universal computer language, whether we like it or not : we must do with it.
BTW which kbd software do you use ?
Will stay tuned, with xda developers forever !

Hi all, I'm new to this forum...
I need some help...
I've an english H5450, and i want make it italian.
Now I have updated it from PPC2002 ENG to PPC2003 ITA, using this metod:
* Modifty the ROM file, to have a fake "english" ROM,
* Start the upgrade
* It validate the language
* Replace with the correct ROM file
* Flash
Now the iPaq as Italian software, but I can do any official update, becouse he think that it is English (at the boot it say "v. 2.00.3 ENG", and I can read the same in the asset viewer).
I tried to do english update, but now my iPaq speaks italian, englis, and spanish ( :shock: ). Now I'm waiting to re-flash it...
How can I change the language one times forever?
I think that I need to change the asset....
I read that shoul be a command, if I use the "bootloader mode" and send command via mtty.
Or there isa nother way to reflash all?
Please help me!
I and my iPaq are in your hands!
Ciao!
no help?
Hello to all experts,
I have some questions... (from a noob)
- What is needed to translate the rom into new language ... is there a language cab or ... ?
- Integrating additional memory chip (I've been told that there is possibility to stick another chip above the existing one) ... has anyone tried this ?
I apreciate all you did so far ... thank you
Hi.
By translating ROM I assume you mean having the OS in a different language?
There are two ways:
1) If the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of your device provides ROMs in different languages you can just download it from their site and reflash. The installation program will guide you step by step and usually it is as simple as connecting your device and clicking 'next' several times.
2) All the strings, menus and the rest of the interface is stored is special files called MUI. (example: coreres.dll.0409.mui - 0409 = English US)
If you can get a set of this files with the language you want and copy them to the device it will do the trick.
If you want more specific instructions you have to tell us what device you have and to what language do you want to translate it (some languages have special requirements)
As for memory chip: Some devices can be upgraded (like IPAQ 4700) but this has to be done in a lab with special tools.
Once again, without knowing what device you have I cannot give you a specific answer.

Hi levenum,
thank you for your time and detailed answers.
Yes, sorry for making you guess but my question is answered under your second answer. What I need is translation of the OS or translation of all strings in OS interface.
My intention is to translate MUI in Albanian (latin) and Macedonian language(cyrilic). I've googled for these language packs but no luck so far.
At the moment I have BlueAngel AKU3.2; ROM 5.04.06WWE; Radio 1.15. and Wizzard G4 with molski ROM.
- Memory upgrading - we would like to try on Magician but any advice is welcome.
Thank you again
Ok, well here some more info then:
1) Since Latin and Cyrillic fonts already exist on all devices with English ROM you won't need to replace font files.
2) If you want to do the translation yourself you will need an app like Resource Hacker or one of the MS IDEs (Visual Studio, eMbedded VC, Platform Builder) MUI are basically exe and dll files that have only resources and no code (they must be in correct exe / dll format).
3) MUIs for system files on WM5 devices must be signed to load.
You should talk to asukal and buzz_lightyear. They made several translation packs for different devices and will be able to guide you in detail.
I have a complete set of 0413 mui files, can I simply replace them in a Rom?
I dumped the (WWE) Rom with imgfs_tools, if I replace all the 0409 files with 0413 files will that work?
Does these files not have to be signed or something?

I hv an ipaq hw6915 with Rom version 1.50.00, pls how can i charge the language to english.
timjaba, in your case you just need to go to HP site and download an English ROM for your device.
I am not 100% certain but if they ever made a ROM upgrade for it there should be one there.

Hello Levenum,

Any help is highly appreciated!

I Finished A Lucky Upgrade For My Hw6915 To English Os... I Just Need Some Radio.nba Backup From An Original English Device (version 1.21uk), Backup Made With Awizard...
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..

Hi wikidorg,

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...

Anybody that have the Norwegian rom?
Da hadd æ blitt gla gitt ;-)
I went into the kitchen and just modded the official "HP iPAQ 610, 610c, 614, and 614c Business Navigators - English ROM Update VERSION: 1.01.04" so it works on all SKU's and all languages. This is a true RUU ROM 1.01.04 Kitchen that works on all SKUs.
Worked perfectly on my Norwegian ABN SKU 614c that would not accept the official HP RUU Update (and the shipped version is really buggy I think). It also changes the language to English and you cannot revert unless someone makes a ROM dump of the original language. The thing is, you can actually buy ABB versions of the 614C in Norway, and Norway is listed among ABB SKU ID's (it's listed as both ABB and ABN). So obviously it seems that Norwegian 614C's are fully compatible with the EU ROM revisions, but HP are being "customer unfriendly" with their upgrade and language options, possibly due to political or licensing reasons (anyone know why HP refuses to support OS ROM changes on the 614c?)
Ofcourse, I forgot to make a ROM dump of the Norwegian language OS before modding my phone (I am British, so I wanted English anyway), so maybe *YOU* can take a ROM dump for me? Then I can maybe make a real Norwegian RUU 1.01.04 ROM Update.
I could ofcourse make a Norwegian dump! If you just told me how to
exchange rom version
Hello ravenflt, I own a Dutch 614c so if you are interested I could send you a Dutch dump if you send me your "cooked" version
Anyone who wants to post a ROM dump of his of her Dutch HP Ipaq 614c?
