Dutch T-Mobile MDA Compact III to English!

TylerDurden1337 said:
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?

Hi Robert,
Start here in the wiki. You'll find all the information you'll need to know to upgrade to WM6. There's a wealth of information there. So take your time and read through it.
Also, you can download the official WM5 from your carrier's website.
If you are unsure about something specific and it isn't answered in the wiki or forums, let us know and someone will be glad to help.
Good luck!

Hello,
thanks - i have found the wiki....
the problem, the original wm5 isn't on the carrier's website. There are no packages and no updates by t-mobile germany...
when i have the package, i would begin to update to wm6, but without the wm5 package there is no way back, i think....
Robert

I don't speak German, so you'll have to help me out on this one. But WM5 may be available here.

WM6 for Qtek 9100

Hello guys,
I would like to know where I can find the ROM of Windows Mobile 6 in English for QTek 9100.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Fred.

noob
Hi im a noob to i currently run wm5 dutch tmboile would like to put wm6 on but where can i find the ROM.
What is not clear for me on this forum and that is because i am a noob. is that the wm 6 forum does it contain a complete rom which i can flash my phone with or do they require at least the wm6 core?
If it requires wm6 core how do you obtain this or is this one of those paid packages like win xp

Ah!!! that's a real Masterpiece ,loved it,grrrrrr8 going

Well, I know how to flash the ROM on my Qtek 9100, but I don't find the WM6 in english for it. I know the question must be redoundant, but the information is not easy to find while I already carefully searched for it before posting.
I'm ready to bet that there must be a tutorial for downloading the ROM of WM6 for Qtek 9100. But I have not found it. That's why I'm asking.
I have not found the official WM6 ROM for the Qtek 9100. If someone could upload it, it would be nice.
Cheers.
Fred.

There is no tutorial that illustrates how to download WM6 for the wizard. Its a bit self explanatory considering there is a WM6 forum for the wizard with lots of releases as well as a wiki for the wizard that contains an awful lot of important information.
The closest thing to an official rom for the wizard is known as 'ingenetics' rom.
Good Luck

Unless I'm mistaken, just about every WM6 Rom here is in english. For example:
ALL NBD Roms
ALL TNT Roms
ALL Black Diamond Roms
Look around, Read, Learn, Flash, Enjoy!

Are you sure these roms will work on the qtek 9100?
I have not found these roms on the ftp site. Where are they?
Cheers.
Fred.

When I posted the first link I really meant to reccommend you to read, read and read first - but I did not mean it personally at all.
Sorry, but if you haven't been able to find any WM6 ROM in this Wizard forum yourself yet, I seriously doubt you know how to flash (non-official) ROMs ..
therefore I strongly advice you to start reading the wiki and the sticky threads on top of the forum first (as the other members also suggested in their posts above) and to understand the steps before flashing otherwise there is a high risk to brick you wizard.
Again, the links to the reading are given in the other thread as well.
Good luck!

I have found NON official ROMs on the wiki.
But no official ROMs of WM6.
What I'm looking for is just an official WM6 for Qtek 9100. That's why I'm asking.
It's not the sea to drink or reach the moon...
Best regards.
Fred.

There aren't any, so you'll have to settle for unofficial ones.

ah, ok.
That's too bad
So installing WM6 on a qtek 9100 is not that "leagal" right?
Or maybe some one has posted a ROM with WM6 somewhere and doesn't yell on each roof

error 300 invalid update tool
Hi
I receive this error when trying to update from WM5 to WM6
I have tried several WM6-roms and all of them end up with the same message
In my Qtek9100 I have IPL 2.17 and SPL 2.17. Language is swedish.
Where to find a newer update tool? The tool in all update files is from 2005-11-21
regards hasse

Hi,
I have the same IPL as you (2.17) so it's a G3 qtek.
At least you aleardy have found WM6 roms.
As I mentionned, I'm looking for an english official WM6 ROM...
It seems to be not obvious to get

Why do you want the official one so badly? If you want it that badly, perhaps you should purchase a new device with WM6 already installed?
Now using Black Diamond!

I have a Qtek 9100...people here call it a Wizard (HTC Wizard). There is no official WM6 rom for the wizard (OEMs have never been keen on upgrades to these devices, they want you to buy a new one. The upgrades they DO release are for THEIR purposes (make them more money), not necessarily to make your phone work better). All of the unofficial roms for the Wizard will work on the Qtek 9100. My Wizard (Qtek 9100) works SOOOOO much better with an UNOFFICIAL WM6 rom than it EVER did with the factory WM5 rom. My advice is to quit worrying about official or unofficial, and learn how to flash your phone so you can improve its performance. Believe me, the corporations that release official roms don't care as much about the performance of your phone as the rom cookers in this forum do. The corporations just want money, the rom cookers just want their Phones to work better.

You can use the Sdcard method to backup your present Rom using the 'Mtty' and 'r2sd all' command,but remember,only OS will be backed up and not all the applications/programs or your personal settings will not be backed up.Search for the 'Sdcard' backup method in the forum or check out this thread :-

However,to upgrade a G4 phone,read the 'HardSPL' and 'SoftSPL' methods as 'Stickies' in the G4 forum.

Help changing Herald language

Hi,
I've just bought my wife a Herald (P4350) here in Moscow. It comes with Windows Mobile 5 in Russian and we really need to change it to English. I've been referred here as the best place for help on how to do this but looking around this forum there is a huge variety of information that is quite confusing for the noob (which I am for this type of thing!)
Can anyone tell me how to change the ROM? I don't know if it's cid locked or anything else! You'll need to tell me how I can check, if you don't mind. It's just branded as HTC. I don't mind if the ROM is WMM 5 or 6 as long as it's in English.
Thanks!

Upgrade your phone with the official WM6 HTC ROM. Then if it's still not in english, use any of our custom ROMs as they're almost all in English.
IF you decide to HardSPL, please take note of the SPL version you have or you will brick your device.

Thanks for the advice ivanmmj. The official update is in Russian as this is the only option it gives to download. Can you please tell me what HardSPL means? I notice other people mentioning it but I don't know what it means.
[edit] It seems that HardSPL is something that provides a more foolproof way of changing ROMS. As I am a complete newbie at this, I am worried of trying something that will render my wife's phone useless! She needs it for work.
Is it possible to upgrade my ROM to the official English WM6 ROM found in the Herald WIKI of this site? Will I have to unlock the CID?

You cannot use the official WM6 update to get it in English,
you will get a Invalid Vendor ID error, You should flash the official
WM6 RUssian first, then download USPL.
Now Download the desired ROM (pick one you like there are enough)
And always read instructions!!
USPL
RUU Russian
Read the Instructions in the USPL folder,
Put the downloaded ROM in .nbh format in the RUU folder.
If you have questions please post before just trying,
you don't want a Brick like many of us (including me) have owned

No you can't, Invalid Vendor ID error will occur.
If you really want Hrd-SPL,
Upgrade to WM6 Russian first, Hard-SPL needs an SPL higher than4.xx
You can try Hard-SPL indeed, but flash official WM6 first(!!!)

Thanks very much for the info Dutchman! It's becoming clearer.
Where can I find information about each ROM and what they contain? There isn't a WIKI page for them yet.

Upgrade to the russian WM6 first, before HardSPLing and verify that you have the correct SPL version before you start.

Thank you all kindly for your help. I'll let you know how I get on.

English ROM for German Orbit 2?

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".
