I've bought a t-mobile mda in austria yesterday.can i change the language of my device to english? :?:
Yes you can, by flashing a new ROM. There's multiple ways of doing that. Take a look at http://xda-developers.com/rom for some basic information.
No, we can't give you the ROM itself. It's copyrighted. There's plenty of places on the net where you can get it legally though. Read some of the related topics on this forum
There is no English ROM from T-Mobile in the net (you better do not use the US Version as this might kick the GSM-Part to hell). But you can flash a O2 ROM, first you have to patch that ROM-file (language and model definition)
Hi Mager,
thanks for your reply, i am interested in changing language too, could you please describe what you mean by 'you have to patch that ROM-file' ???
Or please give a hint, where to find the info.
Would be great.
Thanks ako
Very easy just make an sd-card with bootload (see on this site) form an xda with your wish language. start bootloader with this sd-card in your xda (to be updated) press action finish.
I have also purchased a T-Mobile MDA from Germany and would like to change the menu to English. I would be happy to follow your instructions about flashing an O2 Rom but I am unable to find one on the internet. The few places that have updates require a mobile number that is specific to the phone company.
Does anyone know where I can find a european english rom update?
Thanks for your help,
changing language
hi!
i saw your post and im in the same case
did you find how to change your t mobile mda in german to english?
i downloaded the rsu and ruu programs on o2 ireland but when i want to install the ruu it says it cant find rom image (error 007)
did you have an idea???
thanX
I have not managed to find an english rom to download yet. As soon as I do I will let you know what progress I make.
the solution
Hi!
After many trying, at last, i ve find how to change my MDA in german to english language.
My way is not maybe the best one, but it works perfectly!
1. So, you have to download:
- the rsu update on O2 Ireland (rsu_eng.exe)
- the ruu update on O2 Ireland (ruu_eng.exe)
- the ruu update on T Mobile Germany (ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe)
- an hexeditor (i used Free Hex Editor which is a freeware)
2. Install "rsu_eng.exe" (explanation are on O2 Ireland web site)
3. Extract "ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe" in a folder (with winzip for example). Go to the sub-folder named "German". Delete the file named "NK_Jazz31307ger_TMobile_full.nbf". In the same way, extract "ruu_eng.exe" in another folder. Copy "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf" which is present in the sub folder "english" and paste it in the sub-folder "German".
4. Run "Upgrade.exe". Follow the steps until the message which indicate that the next step is the upgrading. Open "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf" with the hexeditor. You have to change the beginning of first line to: "PW10A2-GER-3.14-003". Save the file. Go back to the upgrade utility and press next button.
5. Thats all! It works! Follow all the instructions on your mda and in the explanation on O2 Ireland Like we used to say in France: "C'est vraiment de la bidouille de merde!"
I saw some advice on the web site "pc-counselor" but it doesnt work on my mda like they said, so i try a lot of possibilities.
Now, my ROM version is 3.14.13 ENG O2 Europe (10/09/02) and my radio version is 4.14. If anybody here know where i can find the 3.15.15 ENG O2 Europe (12/11/02) version or another more recent, i will be grateful. Is there a version after radio 4.14?
About others languages, like french, i think its not possible to switch if the telephone operator doesnt provide a rom update in his language. But perhaps there is a way to do it? If someone knows, im interested in.
Sorry to have been long, but since this evening i was really sad not to find a message which explain in detail how to proceed, so i think about others like me
Bye
Thank you for your detailed account. I appreciate your help.
I will let you know how I fair with the transition.
If by any chance you can help me find the Irish programs please let me know.
Thanks, apap
irish update
as i said in my msg, u can find the rsu and ruu programs on the web site of o2 ireland
go to "product and services" section, then to "mobile internet" section, then "xda" section, and there you have "software upgrade"
its done!
nevertheless if you find some upgrade more recent tell it to me please
see ya
Thanks for this, but in order to upgrade I am required to provide an o2 cell number which I don't have.
numbers
in order to download these updates you ONLY have to enter your imei and your product serial number (they explain how to find it on your mda). in the other fiels you can do like me: fill what you want 8)
are u ok now?
ps: for the "xda mobile" field, use the right click button and copy what you want here
Thanks a lot. I will download it. :wink:
Just wanted to let you know that I have followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly. I now have the English O2 language setting.
Thanks again for your help.
I tried to use the proceedure described here but I got an error when it went to do the actual flash, it didnt even start the flash (thank god). I went to download all of the files as described here but the file ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe is not available on T Mobile anylonger. How would I do it by using the newest file available?
I tried to use the same procedures here but instead of changing the text to "PW10A2-GER-3.14-003" as described I used "PW10A2-GER-3.16-003" because that was the file I had downloaded. But this is when I got an error. Should I have used the PW10A2-GER-3.14-003 even though this was not the file I have?
I tell you, this really P*sses me off that T-Mobile doesnt offer an English OS for this damn MDA here in Germany. I mean I understand that I am in Germany and all...but damn, customer service! But I have lived in Germany long enough to know that Customer Service and T-Mobile (German Telekom) do NOT mix, they have NO IDEA how to support customers.....and the US office was not much better (like I would expect them to be!) I mean if all of you can figure out how to do this I am sure they can do it in a manner that would be very easy for the customer and it wouldnt take THAT MUCH on thier behalf....... OK I am done venting now!
MDA Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have purchased a MDA PW10A2 from Germany. Currently I have an adjourned ROM 3.13.36 ger and radio 4.16. I would like to change the language in English.
I have followed your instructions, but with more recent ROM version .
I have not succeeded in effecting the updating.
I have modified the first line of the file English inserting both the version downnloaded of the German rom (PW10A2-GER-3.16-003) and the one used by you. I don't succeed in making the upgrade, it tells me that it is not a valid rom.
Then I have made the original German updating to try the downloaded file.
I would like to try with your ROMs, even if they are less recent but I don't succeed in finding her.
Can you help me???
1) You must change the version at exactly the right time.
2) You DO NOT change ROM version. You just change the hw version it needs (PW10A1 to PW10A2 for example).
changing from german to English
I read your instructions in the forum. Can I use the same method on a O2 xda I bought in Germany? Is there a difference between an mda and an xda?

What do you mean by "change the version at exactly right time?"
I have just moved back from Hong Kong to europe and my dopod will not work here.
It says :
"Your current settings do not match the active network in use.
You may not be able to access all network services until this is corrected."
Then I click yes and it takes me to a list of aisan countrys to choose from a provider.
I need a list of european countries not asian ones.
I have tryed flashing the rom to:
RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.35.00.11_Shi p (LVSW Edition 2007-02-23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294718
But after it starts up it has the same problem and only lists asian countries and providers.
Is there any way to fix this?
I had a similar problem coming back from China (I work and live in Switzerland): the phone was not connecting anymore to the network.
What I did:
Connection Manager --> Phone Setting --> Band Tab
Select "GSM" as network type
Then it worked: it was trying to connect in Europe using WCDMA.
Hope this will help,
Anubis
Still does not work.
I think this is somthing to do with the external rom. It comes up with a network wizard every time i reset the phone.
The only counrties to select from are asian ones.
What phone and rom are you using?
it also says yourcurrent operator 23433 is not supported.
Trinity p3600 with Dopod (official ROM).

Humm, some countries do have WCDMA(HSDPA) coverage.
Fixed it!
I found out that the orange sim card does not support the 3G phones.
Just bought a new one and works great.

This is likely the probem. I'm in Europe and when I loaded the Dopod rom, this message came up during installation. You have to click on ignore this message forever in the popup dialog box. Then it won't bother you again.
Hey folks I have tried everywhere and read lots everywhere but am stuck and hope you can help me.
I have a Blackjack i600 purchased the phone which appears to be an Asia region phone (English language).
PLEASE NOTE I have an i600 not i607!!!
My PDA version is i600DXGC2
I live in Australia and the phone had Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Default etc listed in the admin preconfiguration menu
I tried to download the update from the official Samsung site (see 1st URL below) using the english flag and entered my PDA version number but it is not accepted??
I then used the access codes to set to my country to default on the phone. This now lists my correct Telephony providers (I think default uses the SIM).
I tried the update from the samsung site again and it still does not accept my code?
http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i600/index.jsp
I then used the pda version they show in the link below
http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/i600/uk/version.jsp
This successfully downloaded i600UxxUpdater.exe but when I try to update my phone it sayw "WRONG VERSION"
I am running Activesync 4.5 and I downloaded the updated modem driver also
PLEASE HELP
Hello guys,
First of all Happy new year.
I just got a Samsung Tab and I am learning on it (how to ROM...etc...)
But since it is my first device (android) I would like some help from you
anywhere I can find some tutorials...help ?
what is ROm and what's the difference between ROM and Firmware
what is CSC ? is JPJK2 the latest version ? how ? where ?
thanks a lot.
Pierre
@Pierre. What country are you in, what mobile carrier do you use and what's the sales code on your phone? No one will be able to give you ROM version advice without these basic details.
ROM and firmware are the same thing, people use the names interchangably. The ROM/firmware is the usually seen as the PDA version thats on the device as this is the Android operating system. The devices also have modem software and the CSC (customer specific customisations). The modem code contains drivers for the modem (ie data and voice), WiFi and (afaik) bluetooth. The CSC contains vendor specific applications and mobile network connection details (eg. APN settings).
Have a look around in this forum and in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for tutorials / advice etc and enjoy your Tab!!
If I've given any bad information above, could someone who knows more please feel free to correct me!
Hi
I bought my Galaxy Tab in China and now I want to install the Nordic (Norwegian) Stock ROM. I have not been able to find anywhere to download this.
However, I have learned that it's possible to fool KIES to install firmware of choice using "Kies Registry patcher" But to do that I need a valid product code for Norwegian devices.
I have found a Swedish one using the "Check Fus" web version:
Product Code: GT-P1000HKDNEE
HIDSWVER: P1000XWJJ3/P1000NEEJJ2/P1000XXJID/P1000XWJJ3
Does anyone know what to put here to get the Norwegian version?
Thanks!
