WWEnglish & WM6 firmware on German Herald possible?

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

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".
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.

Original Brazilian Artemis Rom

Hi people,
I'm new in this forum and new in the Windows Mobile (I was a PalmOS user for a long time...)
I recently moved to windows mobile and my first device is a Artemis P3301.
I took a lot of roms and sucessfully flashed my device. Now, I'm using the Blue & Black 5.0 and I am satisfied.
Now, I was wondering about come back to original rom, but... reading the forum I found no way to dump original Artemis ROM. (My friend have a Artemis Device too).
Am I correct?
Do somebody know how or where can I get Original Brazilian Portuguese Artemis Rom?
Thank you and, sorry if my english sucks...

Hi man. Maybe on HTC E-club you can find it.

Upgrading info for beginner :-)

Hi guys,
thank you a lot for this fantastic websit. Sorry for my English - I am Czech. I hope, that you will understand me. In past I had a HTC vox, but few weeks ago I´ve bought a CRUISE. Everything was Ok, but I wanted to made a upgrade from WM 6,0 to 6,1. I corectly unlocked my cruise and I tried to upgrade to new (unoficial ROM).
I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478029
and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425612
Upgrading was ok, but after upgrading I have no signal on my PHONE ???
My next step was: I made a upgrade to oficial HTC WM 6,1 from HTC website.
With original WM 6,1 is everything Ok, but I would like to have beter ROM, than original HTC.
At all treads here, you are writing about RADIO? What is it? Is it a driver, which is included in every ROMs and this driver is for PHONE RADIO control?
Is it possible to upgrade only "RADIO" ??? I dont understand a lot this section. When I was upgrading my VOX, there were no problem with this. Every drivers was included in ROM - notning problem.
Thanks for your comment

If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.

Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.

Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine
