Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!
This is the info you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123&page=8
This is the file you need:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe
Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)
(sorry, dupe of phsnake's post above. He beat me by 2 minutes ;-0 )

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once
O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you so much fktsndr:
I am successful in converting German O2 XDA Orbit 2 to English.
I used "Hard-SPL-V2.zip" from your given link and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.3 0.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe" as English rom.
Only TomTom was gone and is not working after new installation as advised in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1929057
but now my GPS device is not giving any signals.

Hello ya'all. This is my first post so first of all I'd like to congratulate you for the excellent site and forum !
There is a lot of resource info around here ! Great Job !!!
But unfortunately for some new people getting into this new world of WMobile even what it looks simple to you might be slightly blurred to us.
I bought in France a HTC P3300
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.00
ROM 1.12.406.1.FRE
RADIO 02.67.90
PROTOCOL 4.1.13.28
ROM EXT V.1.12.406.101
ARTE 100
Of course the WM came in French. Well I am willing to change it to WWEnglish and I've been doing my homework researching and reading, reading, reading through this website. Found the steps to do it thanks to Kleinemeus at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241 and found the DOPODAU and LOVE ROMS as well the Extended Rom in the ftp site. As well as I found my P3300 is the same as MDA compact III, XDA Orbit, P800W, Dopod P800 ....
But I still a couple of silly doubts that I gonna ask for you MASTERS your mercy to clarify me with your wisdoom and expertise.
1) After flashing my P3300 with a English ROM will it have all same basic features/programs I have in French like, the radio, tomtom gps, etc ? In other words, doing this is like getting a desktop that came with windows in french and installing a windows in english ?
2) After being successful of flashing the Rom following the steps described in the link above by Kleinmeus how can I upgrade the Extended Rom found at the ftp ?
I really appreciate if someone could help me with these 2 questions.
Thanks in advance !!!
It should work
Be careful when flashing becos many ppl cant get it right.
If you manage to flash it successfully you should have almost the same functionality.
I dnt know abt the ROM.
Is ur phone CID unlocked?If not do it before u change the ROMS.It will be a big disaster if u get stuck in between and u cant do anything.
Yups, you'll have all the basic apps that are part of WM5.
Regarding TomTom or other Commercial GPS applications, these are not part of WM5 package and are installed by supplier, so you'll have to confirm whether the ROM that you are planning to flash has that specific GPS app.
Regardinf Extended ROM, these come as part of ROM that you will plan to flash. Usually people only take some specific apps/patches from other Extended ROM that wasn't part of supplied/flashed ROM (i guess I am right about this)
First off my apologies should I be out of line in asking.
(Lame excuse but I never take time to read anything).
I was recently given an O2 XDA Mini, the problem is it's in German v1.12.01
and I'd like to continue to have the standard O2 Crap, but I'd like to be able to use an English version of the ROM.
So heres the rub, could some Kind Soul hook me up with an Original O2 XDA Mini ROM ~in English~?
Thanks.
P.s. Could someone ~as an alternative~ kindly recommend a Non-Operator (e.g. O2), version ROM?
I've tried the OS 1.12.00 / ExtROM 1.12.920 / Radio 1.12 and it still had O2 Crap on it, and worse still.
It was according to O2 outdated as a newer version was repoted for it.
Then latter on my XDA got locked out of using the O2 Updater altogether.
I have since managed to return to the Original German Version of the ROM, but I'd really like to be able to use English on my XDA Mini.
So again thanks...
Search the Magician forum for the procedure. Many generous members have written guidelines. Secondly, read the wiki. It will also point you to the ftp and you'll be able to download an English O2 rom.

Hello mr. Flow84! Could you please upload German ROM for P330, we are impatiently waiting for your upload. Thanks!
I found a German ROM for my o2 XDA on the FTP site - here is the link...
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Upload/Official XDA Orbit ROM/
Maybe it isnt what you are lookng for, but it got me out of a pinch today.
Tschüs
i have found the rom.And have try it.I can only boot in booloader mode.Nothing else work.If i activate bootloader mode and plug in the usb cable i hear the sound that usb is connected.But if i start the original rom update it doesn't recognize the phone. Error 260 appears Verbindung(connection)
I also had to load this rom from bootloader. If the rom doesnt see the phone, restart the phone into bootloader again. I noticed that if it tried to find the phone once and couldnt, it would not ever be able to unless I reset the phone and put it back in bootloader. this rom will work, just keep playing with it.
ROM GER, i need to
I need that rom, can who send where
HTC P3300 German ROM
hugeman66 yesterday posted link to German ROM: http://download.sunrise.ch/downloads/manuals/qtek-windows/P3300_softwareupdate_GER.zip
I unbrick my Artemis by the first part.
Hello,
there should be some question answered for the ROM inside the archive <P3300_softwareupdate_GER.zip> before flashing.
1. Is the Rom an Original HTC 3300 ROM? (with TomTom inside)
2. Is this ROM WM5 or WM6? (nobody answered that question yet)
3. Which file inside the arcive should be used?
<P3300_softwareupdate_GER_1.exe> or
<P3300_softwareupdate_GER_2.exe> or both
4. In which order should I use that two files?
As long as these question are`t answered, everybody should keep the fingers away from flashing, because he did`t know, what he is doing. Some help from a "guru" would be helpfully. =
Thanks and Bye, Sven
Note: ... using MDA compact III (GER) with WM6 O² ROM, with 4GB microSDHC which in`t working. I`ll hope to fing a solution as soon as possible.

I've been reading the forums, but I cannot find the solution to my problem. I just bought my T-Mobile MDA Compact II (HTC Artemis) in Dutch and I would like to change the language to English. I've read there's a T-Mobile ROM UK, but where can I download it? And how to install? If I connect to the FTP server the folders in Artemis are emtpy except for the EXT Rom folder. But the size of the rar's is a little low, not like I experienced with updating my rom on my Magician before. Those rar's were about 40-45MB. Anybody wants to help me please! If the thread is allready open somewheren, I apologise, please PM me then...
THANKS!!!

Edit: I read some more, got little more information, did some things. Yesterday I sim/CID unlocked my T-Mobile MDA Compact III trough imei-check.co.uk (respect for this guy!!), and now I can use it with my own carrier. Now that the simlock and CID lock is gone, I would like to change/update the rom to an English version. I don't mind the T-Mobile ROM, I only care about the English language. If it's possible to put an HTC ROM on my device, I would prefer that, but not completely necessary. What ROM should I use, because I heard that the Dutch version is the only one WITH an WiFi chip? Can someone point me in the right direction? In the FTP account I can only see the ext rom, I found this rom: HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP. Should this work with my current configuration?
query

Hi folks, compared to another devices listed on xda-developers I do not find many links and information about the WM6 upgrade for Herald. I know that I have to go for it at the HTC Club, but before that I like to use your brains and find out, whether it is possible to flash a worldwide english firmware onto a german Herald - and where to get it? (I guess at HTC club I'll get the german version, but I like to have the english one)
many thanks guys & greetings from rainy munich.

You are kidding right ?
there are a gazzilion topics regarding this matter.
If you want to flash other language to your phone go to www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php, pay the guys wait a few minutes follow instructions download WWE RUU and flash.
HI, you have the possibility to flash any WM6 rom to your device, if you searched for "asergs.cab" or simply read the Topic about the Touch-IT or PDAVIET rom...
BUT: HTC´s Romupdates won´t work in different languages
It is not impossible anymore, but you really have to read 4 yourself to get it working
And remember: If the process fails, you need to have a WM6 rom of your language to unbrick your Herald again !!!
many thanks guys. I guess I got too lazy after using my HTC Touch and flashing all the time different ROMs and languages without any problems, without paying money and without searching for hints etc. thanks Meisterschlampe...eh sorry, Meisterlampe
