Hi,
I have been using a Wizard for about a year now but last week i dropped it really hard and its having some problems. So, I was thinking about getting the Hermes.
I live in Taiwan and the Hermes that I can get through the phone company (unlocked. No phones here are locked) has a chinese version of WM5 on it. I was wondering how easy it is to change this. Is the ROM actually WM itself? Meaning that I could just download a ROM?
That's my main question.
Another question I'd like to pose to yuio guys is how you feel abuot the Hermes in general especially as compares to the Wizard (if yuo were a past user).
Thanks in Advance.
Anyone?
Basically Im just wondering if a ROM is a whole new OS.
Would really appreciate a response.

Hi Marlz, I'm with you.
I have a XDA II since about 3 years and I'm pretty sure I was amongst the first who got the Language changed from German to English.
It worked nice until now. Today my PDA is acting up, the phone "hangs" a lot lately. I missed several calls due to that. Also, every time I want to send an MMS it does a hard reset...
Now, why am I telling this?
I'm in the process of buying a french Hermes (TYTN). So I said to myself, no big deal, just hop on the Forum and look for some info like I did some years ago and change it in English.
Well, in the mean time there is so much information on this site that I really can't see the wood through the trees, if you know what I mean.
If been surfing for a while now but I can't find a clear and simple guide or information in order to change the language.
Did you manage to do it?
Anyone with a clear guideline or link... feel free.
Thanks and greetings from Belgium
Hi!
Yes i managed to do it with no problems. After reading the wiki i pieced together the needed steps whichn outlined here:

I think the step depend on what version of bootloader you have.
Good Luck.
Thanks but I kinda circumnavigated the problem, I bought a new UK one.
Thanks for the tip though.
Hi !
I recently bought a QTek 9100 "Deluxe" while passing by Moscow ! The version is in Russian and I was convinced I could manage to get it into English , but .........
When trying it, probably as it is a G4 device, I can not do anything !
Could anyone advice please ?
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
GSM 02.20.11
OS 2.18.7.1
If you can navigate a little in russian, try hitting start-->setting--> go to the second tab at the bottom (system) and then regional setting (looks like a globe) and in the first tab there is a drop down menu that will allow you to change the language. Then, do a reset and your language should change. I've never actually done this so I'm not gauranteeing it will but I remember running across a post once saying that it would. It's worth a try anyway.
Look through the options until you see (this is as close as I can do in roman rather than cyrillic)...
Ye3NK (only the N is backwards - this is "language" - the E may be curvy with two dots above it)
AH7nNCKN (with the 7 and Ns displayed backwards and "n" is very like the maths symbol for pi - is "English")
Alternately look up each of the letters in "yezik" and "angliski" here for the exact picture...

I dont have cyrillic on this server, but even if i did you would need it installed too or you will just see mainly vowels with phonetic symbols above.
And good luck!!!
Not functionning yet !
Hi guys !
Many thanks for your feed-back !
Unfortunately I tried before and the "international" language is already selected on "English", but all menus etc. remain in Russian.
I had a talk this morning with the national provider of QTek of my country stating that there were no way, but through the net with some 80 % risk that the mobile would simply crash and be of no use !
I would really appreciate if anyone would have a "positive" experience in this regard.
Many thanks in advance !
You have to use "" Shell Tool", can find it on this forum to reflush G4 Wizard.

Thanks Fresh,
but unfortunatelly I am not really a specialist in I.T. and do not really understand what I am supposed to do.
Especially the pages starting with "ftp://" remain unreable to me ! I guess I do something wrong, but do not know what !
Thanks for any help !
Nice day

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"ftp://" if you have this, you have to copy this to the address bar of your browser, then you wil see something like list of folders and files.
Click on the files you want, then it will start to download.
Looks like you need to navigate here:
go ftp://[email protected] find ''Uploads'' folder, then ''WIZARD'', then "Unlocking''
and copy all staff to your computer
Hello Free breaze,
Sorry, but at my level it seems I am even not able to log in what you adviced : ftp://[email protected] !
Trying but still no any success with passwords !
Sorry !
Strange, password is xda, i logged in one second....
I am trying but with xda as log and xda as pass and do not get through !
I brought my mobile today to a specialist, but he said that the Russian version was more advanced than the English one he had, and could not downgrade in Russian !
It is looking such a headache !
Next time I will take a simple and very small Nokia I think !
Well, i am russian, i don't have G4 Wizard, but on russian forums
a lot of people had done upgrade and downgrade G4, so you need another spesialist
I will try to search for you and make english manual how to this week, but did you think to upgrade to the WM6?
Another chance, try this:
Wizard Service Tool

Hi Fresh Breeze !
Many thanks for your permanent help (and there is much to do with such "specialist" as I !).
About WM6 I have read and understood that it is not yet stable, but if you have any advice would be much appreciated !
It seems the downgrade of the Russian version is a kind of must as no equivalent version in English could be found.
I had a look as well on Service Tool, clarifying now some aspects !
Many many thanks to you !
Hi guys
My last smart phone was a universal (for sale btw in perfect condition with all the extras and a piel frama cover, just email me if you would like to have it, no back to my main point).BTW my old username here was hungarian, and I have no way of getting into my old account here as I dont have acces to my old hungarian email account.
SO, I live in france now for a while and I am looking into buyig myself an X1. The problem with it is, that it most likely will speak only french, while I speak only german english and hungarian my french is far away from acceptable.
So my main question is/would be, how can I get the x1 to english?
Is there an easy way, or maybe it even does by itself and its just a setting somewhere?
Thank you very much in advance

You can't change only "language" on x1 (and in general on winmobile pdas) but you can unlock it and flash with WWE rom to get your terminal in english.
Hi Guap
Even if I didnt say it, I meant what you were purposing.
So it should work without bigger problems to shove a new rom in
this time in english and maybe with some positive side effects.
I am wondering tough why you mention unlocking, as I understood while browsing this thread there is no simlock in this phone, or did I understand that wrong?
Please let me know, because then I will have to take the right steps.
Thank you

I gues this is more of a question than a general discusion but could be moved to development if there aren't any.
Launguage packs, many of you know the most common launguages for the USA are English, Spanish (Español), and French (Français)
my question is this... Is there a language pack on the market that will enable an out of the box android phone that only supports English out there?
My reason being I am a phone sales man and I deal with a ton of Foreign lanuages (mainly the two listed above) and they don't want to buy android phone becuase they do not understand English very well and also they are not like us and want to root and expirement with phones.
(Nexus One content) I'm rooted with CMOD on my device and I was wondering if the stock nexus only came with Enlish support as well or if it came with any other languages. It is my main seller to show my phone and get them into Android.
Thanks for any help and clearification.
