Switch to English ROM

Hi there,
I just bought the latest HTC Touch Cruise with HTC Branding. It has the ROM-Version 1.25.407.1 GER installed which is in fact GERMAN.
Well I would like to switch to an original HTC English ROM Version. Can you tell me where I can find such a ROM since on HTC´s website I cannot find any.
Also it would be great if you could tell me how to flash my gadget the secure way. It would be best if I could save my German ROM, as I might need it sometime in future for ie warranty issues.
Help highly appreciated. Thanx
Andy

well, I had the same issue with my Polaris. It was in Spanish language. So, basically you can flash your ROM very easy to a WWE ROM (World Wide English). You can find a lot of them in here, some very good ones also.
For ex the one I am using now: udK Diamond R4 - WWE (Build 19960.1.2.2) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393429). It was made by udK and it looks great.
!!!One of the most important things that you have to keep in mind before you flash your ROM is to Install Hard SPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964). Made by Olipro!!
!!!Also see a step-by-step procedure of how to Flash your ROM and use HardSPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370434)
HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU!

Problem after upgrade wm6.1 on polaris

Hello all,
I am in crisis situation.
I purchased the touch cruise (polaris) from authorised dealer in the middle east (my polaris is middle east version) came with wm6 SPL 1.28.000. ROM 0.0.415.2 (sorry I had saved the details in one of the files but I guess it got deleted. so I dont remember which ROM version I had)
I wanted to test the diamond TF3d style, so I upgraded. below is the steps I took
1. Hard spl - v2
2. downloaded _HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe
3. installed the same.
4. Installed HTC-CA-Polaris drivers and TF3d.
5. I read somewhere that it works slow and need to upgrade Radio to 1.59.42.23. I did that.
but now my GPS is not working with Garmin also tried TOm TOM which is installed by the WM6.1 upgrade, no luck even the phone is too slow
I want to revert to the original version. please help me find the ROM download and steps to downgrade to original. I can downgrade the SPL to original but need to have the ROM first bcos I dont want my phone to be total dead.
need urgent attention from the experts.
thanks in advance
Niranjan

I already flashed with this update and my phone is messed up GPS not working.
I wanted to the original wm6 which comes with by default (box packed) touch cruise.

regards
Niranjan

If indeed it was the WWE version then use the link as post #2
Why not try one of the WWE 6.1 with Manilla for example from M-Amine much better than the stock Rom

Hard SPL / SPL 3.13 (flashing ?)

I successfully downloaded and flashed WM 6.1 ... so far so good. I noticed that it also installed an new SPL (now 3.13, previously 1.28).
If I change to HardSPL (in order to use a custom ROM), do I need to flash SPL 3.13 before I revert to WM 6.1 (in case of a service call) ? And if so, is it available separately and where ?
Thanks,
Andreas

hi,
you can flash Shipped ROM without HardSPL AFAIK, but I think for service reasons you should use the original SPL.
Check out this two threads for Shipped ROMs and Original SPL:

and PLEASE, next time use search and read the "sticky" threads, most of the things you have to know is in there.

Hi Martin,
thanks for the links ...
I agree that searching is helpful, no question about that ... BUT
I had already downloaded the GER WM6.1 update and installed it (from the page you linked to) and
I had searched for original SPLs but found only 1.25 or 1.28 ... not the 3.13 I currently see in my TC (after WM 6.1 update).
So the question for me still is this:
If - after going for a custom ROM (incl. HardSPL) - I want to go back to the standard HTC WM 6.1 ROM, will I need to change back to the standard SPL first ... and if yes, which one ? Will it be 1.28, since I haven't seen a SPL-file for 3.13. ?
Sorry, if I overlooked something in the other posts/threads, but this is not clear to me ... if it's obvious to everyone else, then mea culpa.
Cheers,
Andreas

Hmmm ... just noticed that the 3.13 SPL is WWE ... does this mean there should also be a GER version ?
And will I need the GER SPL 3.13 version, if I want to install the standard HTC WM 6.1 GER ROM ?
Which brings me to a general question, does the HTC RUU check to make sure that you have a GER SPL and a GER OS ? Because I had problems with installing a HTC WWE WM6.1 ROM previously (it aborted the installation), while the GER version worked just fine.

Andreas

[Q] qtek s110 - help with changing rom

Hello ! I need your help with changing rom in my qtek s110. I bought that device two days ago, it have french rom and I want to change it for english one. I want to ask you with what should I start ? It will be the very first rom change, so I don't know if I should do something before running instalation of the new rom, or just start it without checking anything or instaling other programs before the rom ? Thank you for all answers !

If you want a stock rom, get one here (USA or WWE = english):
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Magician
Extract the *.exe with Winrar and replace the Romupgrade.exe with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, execute it, and follow the instructions.
Or get one of Cotullas ROMs (Follow the instruchtions mentioned in the thread). It's a little bit buggy and the camera may not work (depends on version you chose) but it's WM6/6.5

Personally I believe that you should start with Cotulla's WWE 03. That will give you a stable WM6.1 and the instructions are in the post, and also cotulla's homepage.
It also has camera if you needed it for anything. From there you can decide whether you want to goto newer versions or if you are happy with 03.
