Hi all,
I recently bought an iMate K-JAM with World Wide English on it and recently tried to install the ship version of the ROM that comes on the Arabic version.
I noticed after the install that I still have the WWE verion (ExtROM 1.1.9.104)
Now the question is how can I downgrade to the ExtROM 1.1.9.103 that comes on the Arabic version since I would like Arabic Localization?
Thanks
my dear,
you don't have to downgrade!
just go to clubimate.com
register your mobile with its imei #
then download the latest arabic version on their site,
and that's it.
Hi,
Sorry for this NOOB question, but just want to make sure...
I'm about to buy a Magic from eBay. It's from Germany and the seller received it from Vodaphone (but no simlock). Ofcourse I would like to change the language to English or even Dutch and use a qwerty keyboard layout.
I can do this without flashing right? (I'm used to WM being stuck to its lang)
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I got my magic from Germany. No problem changing the language to English with the stock rom. Not too sure about Dutch as I've flashed the rom since then. Dutch is definitely available on my current rom. Good luck with the bid!!
Hey, thank you! English only would be fine too! Yes, it's my 1st ebay bid! Really excited been lokking forward to an Android phone for long!
And since the Magic is hardware wise not that different from the Hero and I know this site...
Hi there!
I am looking for an official ROM for the Opal/Touch Viva/MDA Basic.
Everywhere i look people say like "get it from htc.com" or "you can download it from their website".
There are no ROMs for download at www.htc.com!
If i choose germany as country it's even better: it tells me there is no device called touch viva. (I bought the device in germany!!!)
Anyone please can help and tell me where i can REALLY download official HTC ROM??
then, what is this?

What difference does it make ?
doesn't most people in asia have other letters than western countries??
I want english version. (In fact i would like german version most, but since I can't find a newer version than the translated one posted on this board I would stick with english one.)

Hi guys, same here. still looking for a stock german rom. i had mine extracted but the extracted files are not working...
I talked to HTC for a german ROM now.
They told me there isn't a stock ROM in german because there is no german Touch Viva.
For the T-Mobile MDA they explained to me:
"Even though the phone is now unlocked, they (T-Mobile) still own the phone serial number so you will only be able to use t mobile roms, so the best action is to contact them to see if there have a update, if not there is not going to be one available for you to download."
So it seems like HTC does not provide any german ROMs for Opal
i think you can change the language pack... these links might help:

Trying to understand the differences between the Asian HD2 SKUs. HTC support says that since HTC doesn't/can't sell in mainland China that their phones only support CHT (Chinese traditional character set). I am trying to find which region's model support CHS (Chinese simplified character set).
I was hoping to find a factory ROM/SKU with CHS support so I know what region to order my phones from. Eventually I will be dealing with 20+ phones so I'm trying to avoid having to flash/support a custom ROM image.
I know that there are custom ROMS (Lost in Asia being an example) that claim CHS support. Does anyone know what original OS they sourced support for CHS EZInput (IME/SIP)?
I'll follow up with the information I am able to collect. I know that some people have tried to make a .cab of CHS EZInput, but have not heard about it working.
thanks

Get the Singapore or Hongkong WWE version. It supports CHS by default and have chinese pinyin/hand writing IME include in the default input.
I am using the stock 1.66.707.1 which comes with my singapore set so its confirmed.
And for your info, HTC does not sell directly in China as HTC-branded but as DOPOD. Dopod is part of HTC. There are CHS ROM for the Dopod HD2 which is usable for the HTC HD2. But normally, chefs usually avoid them as their SKUs and embedded software versions are usually lower than the WWE version. Chinese Chefs usually will extract the 0804 from the DOPOD CHS ROM and mixed with the latest WWE rom to produce the custom CHS roms.
HD2s from Singapore come with CHS support. The official 1.66 SEA WWE ROM comes with CHS support as standard. On the other hand, Hong Kong phones have CHT support, but until today, HTC still hasn't released an official 1.66 WWE ROM for Hong Kong. Hong Kong phones can also read CHS, but writing/typing is CHT only.
BTW, don't believe what HTC is saying about not being able to sell their phones in China, since there are lots and lots of HTC phones for sale in Shenzhen, including the HD2.
A good/stable Cooked ROM with CHS support is Merlion LEO. I have the V1.90 installed on my phone, and so far, it has been absolutely stable and flawless.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this info. It is like pulling teeth to get info out of HTC support.
I think we are going to go with the Singapore HD2 SKU as we definitely need CHS input/display.
Just a few confirmations about the Singapore HD2:
What language is the operating system in? Should I expect any hassles choosing CHS vs CHT for input? Are there any other hardware or application differences from a WWE phone?
The Dopod would definitely be an option, but there is some concern that our research software may not run correctly on a native Chinese OS.
Ok now to hunt down more specifics about the Singapore HD2, any good links besides HTC's site?
Thank you both very much. Have a great day.
One clarification. I need the CHS input to be from the native HTC EzInput keyboard, not a 3rd party app like CE Star.

I use touch pal to do this and it works like a charm...
HTC is not sold in China officially, but you can find plenty of shuihuo ones around...

The 1.66.707.1 firmware has the CHS input from the native HTC keyboard.
Did previous versions not use the native HTC keyboard for CHS input? Did they use A4 or something?
Interesting stuff, thanks for the reply. Wish I had my HD2 in front of me to flash and verify to my manager.
since the singapore rom is actually the "South East Asia" rom,
i wonder if it has keyboards for all the other south east asian countries such as thailand, vietnam, korea, japan etc..
Its good that its got chinese. but asia does not = just chinese.. so im wondering if all the othre asian language inputs are supported or not ? =) Thanks

I am assuming you are already on Official Android 2.2.1 and HBoot 1.01x. If that is the case, then flash this RUU:

Instructions are posted within the thread itself.
However, if you are on an Android 2.1 and are willing to root your phone and install Custom ROMs, there are a few out there which should work for you:

Not that I am aware of. As far as I know, Arabic ROMs have Arabic and English only. Your best bet is the third party keyboards, and, MoreLocale 2:
