Hi All
As you may have noticed i am new to this forum, so thanks for having me.
Now correct me if i am wrong but the way i see it is,
Download and install USPL, this will remove the CID,
Then find and install the oops_black or what ever other rom i want.
this would then change my htc from danish to english, is that it or is there more to it, like do i have to do the radio thing as well, i have been doing some reading before i joined and just want to make sure i dont end upwith a brick afterwards as i dont have the original software.
thanks

Sorry for asking stupid question....I searched on this forum, couldnt find answers.
I read on official HTC site, that after I upgrade to WM6, I cannot downgrade to WM5 anymore.
I found many customized ROM here (WM6), if I used that ROM, can I downgrade to WM5 after some times?
thx
Of course you can ...
how is that done, do you just overwrite everything with the standard HTC ROM or do you have to delete the Hard SPL and radio upgrades first?
You can do, but once you have WM6 you will not what too...
May be an idea to keep a copy off your orginial rom,
incase you want the exact same one back...

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(!!!)
Hard-SPL

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.

every official rom....
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.
Hi, this is my very first post here, in the best site/forum on the internet about PDA.
Here's my doubt: I have an Artemis With WM 6.0 in Portuguese. I want to take my risks in the world of cooked roms and i want to try the artemis touch 4.02, wich it is in english. As I read, we just have to run the USPL and than flash with any rom. Am I right?
Second question is: I have a portuguese rom or at least an extended rom. My question is: I flash my artemis with the english artemis touch 4.02 rom, supose that I don't like it or something else and want to return to my portuguese rom I can use the extended portuguese rom that I have?
Something like this:
1.Original Portuguese Rom
2.Flash with the english artemis touch 4.02
3.Get back to portuguese with extended portuguese rom that I have.
Can I do this 3 steps if I wish so? And if I do all those 3 steps will I loose my warranty?
Congratulations for the amazing comunity...

Don't forget to remove any passwords before you flash the new rom. And it is essential that you flash USPL before you flash a new rom. I made the following order, to success:
1-SIM unlock (definitive)
2-Temporary CID unlock through USPL (CID locks again after next step)
3-Flash a new rom. In my case, I'm using Oops Black v1.
Regarding the other questions, as far as I know, once you flash a new rom, you loose the old one.
And at last but not least, if you mess with it, you can always tell them you did nothing to it. I just don't know if they will believe you.

Thanks for the quick answer and yes, I know I will loose the rom inside the pda, but I have a file with about 51Mb downloaded from the htc website named: "HTC_P3300_PTG_3.13.410.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R".
I just don't know if it is a rom or an extended rom, in fact I don't even know the real diferences beteween this 2 concepts...
My question is after I flash with "artemis touch 4.02", can I run USPL again and flash back to this rom? (supposely my original one)

Sure. you can allways get back to your original ROM (if you didn't had any problem in the midle of the process). Sometimes when you have problems with the flashing process, that will be you only chance.
The file that you've download is a ROM where you have the OS.
The extended ROM normally is only for add-ons.
Cheers
Hello!
The ROMs which are here posted, are all english?
Is there a way to get ROM which are in german, so i have an german GUI?
Just to say thanks to all on this forum. This, because of my very first rom flashing. And guess what? It went very well. No problems at all!!!!
All because of the amazing people that is here everyday trying to make the pda's world more simple for everyone.
By the way, congratulations to the "cooker" of Artemis Touch 4.02. It is a wonderfull rom, with everything that i use to install as third party software and many more and all this with a lot of ram free. It is very stable, fast and very good looking!
So, Thank You All!!!
cid lock
Hi to all. I flashed my artemis 2 months ago with touch 4.02, everything is fine until now. But i have the same question as above. If i want to flash my artemis with the original rom and radio version, is there any way to lock it again, so that nobody in the service understand that i flashed it in the past?
Arte200 for Artemis touch 4.02
Hi all, i like upgrade for 4.02, but I don't know. Help me.
Thank's

Hi everybody,
Waiting the Hard SPL for the HD2, I just thinking about a simple idea, is that possible to sign a rom like htc made, in order to find a way to flash our beloved device in different languages ?
For example if I take an FRA rom is that possible to change the region code to NLD (very easy with a hex editor) and resign the rom, to make think to the phone the rom is NLD and flash to have all the phone in french ?
In advance thanks for your responses,
A big thanks to all who participes to XDA live !
I think this has being tried before in another thread and basically it did not work.
Ok thanks for the response

I´m really not the guy to awser this, but i think it has something to do that its CID locked, and this cant just be changed with a regestry.
what does the TUR stand for ??
any idea when spl will be released?
Turkey, wasn't too hard to guess
is this the only one available, i dont want a turkish rom on my uk o2 hd2 ?? how can i get around this, is there a WWE release yet ?
When You first launch rom, it ask you Turkish or English.
I installed it and am using it. It's really worth updating.
The battery life, signal etc is way better.
ditto. I have an 02 one, its got v1.43 & I have never done this before. Am curious about how to do it. Will I need a goldcard?
same here, i think goldcard will be needed, can someone confirm this please? thanks
also when will spl be released
The turkish is the only language avalaible at this moment because HTC's Tech Center is in Ankara, Turkey cool. So all news staffs from HTC are allways first in turkish. But HTC will release WWE versions soon. Keep in touch...
Yes, goldcard is needed if you flash to anything different from your stock rom (as in, different region)...
About spl, nobody knows (except the ones working on it maybe hehe) so just wait and see... Hopefully before the new year.
I know I am in line for a tongue lashing from people when I ask this, but I'm sorry there is sooooooo verrrrrrry much to read scattered all over this site and its confusing me.
Whats this WWE and SPL thing? I thought at first you were all supporters of 2 different sports teams.
And why does it matter so much?

WWE stands for World Wide English and denotes that a ROM will be in the English language. It should have regional settings for most English regions, thoough some don't.
SPL is much more important, and is the sub-code which allows the boot sectors to be written to. Most WinMo devices are locked to a carrier and/or a region and MUST have the SPL modified before attempting to update the ROM, otherwise at best the ROM won't install, and at worst the device will become totally unresponsive, requiring serious work to recover.
If you are unsure, don't mess, as modifying the SPL will invalidate your warranty If you still want to proceed, then read up everything first.
