Just download the German ROM file from O2 and the XDATools.
Extract the German ROM includeed in the "programm_a.exe".
Write the file to an SD Card.
Insert SD-Card into your XDA.
Enter Bootloader.
Pess Action Key to write the ROM to your XDA.
Thats it....
Same Procedure can be done with a english Rom...

WM6 upgrade wrong language

Hi,
I have a P3300, I bought in China. It came with an English WM5 rom. I registered the device on the HTC Club Support site to get the WM6 upgrade. So I was very happy that now it came out but then the bummer: it will only let me download the dutch version. No idea why.
So I have to questions: Can I somehow change the language to English after upgrading? Second is it possible to write HTC support to give me an English WWE version instead?
I don't want to install any pirated version that will brick my device, therefore I waited a long time for the official update to come out and now I cannot use it? Neither do I want to install the dutch version (since I do not speak any dutch) and not being able to restore my English one.
Btw, does anyone have an idea why it will only let me download dutch even if my system is English?
Thanks for any help!

English version is fully available on this forum please see the WM6 upgrading topic. the one of TOM CODON is a very good choice.

cyberhoschi:
each htc device is identified with imei (unique number). imei number is linked to country, where device was originally sold.
if after registration on htc, you are presented with dutch rom, then device is dutch. normally, you are not able to buy device with english rom in China. it was re-flashed with engl. rom. in this case, service center already can tell you that you violate the warranty.
what you can do/
- download dutch rom from htc (original rom for your device). good idea if you have wm5 and wm6 handy. this is the rule - before flashing, always have original rom for your device. if things will go bad, you can go back to original rom.
- using uspl, you can re-flash with any rom (almost any, uspl needs some patching).
- if you try to flash dutch device with engl. wm6 htc rom, it will most likely will not flash even with uspl installed. to correct this, you need to extract files with winrar utility from flasher (.exe file, a new rom)
- open .nbh file (one of extracted files) in winhex or other hex editor and modify model id.
example:
if you want to flash dutch device with engl. rom, you will need to modify HTC__001 to code relevant for Holland. alternatevely, you can put 11111111, it should work too.
- save .nbh file.
- perform flashing as you would nornally do.

I need to flash finnish rom HTC_P3300_FIN_3.13.414.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R, and it has
string HTC__I14 starting in address 000001e0h.
My original rom has string HTC__001 in that same spot.
Should the new rom flash successfully if I change HTC__I14 to HTC__001? (Or 11111111)
Am I getting this right?

Is it safe to install a ROM even if it is not for my country?

It is safe to install a ROM from a different country the only trouble is you might not get your preferred language.

HELLO
STOP It is not safe to install rom for other country unless you have installed HSPL. If you try then you will stuck at boot loader. Please be clear before you advice someone.
If you want to install any rom please install HSPL first. Then your choice of Rom. If you don't want to install HSPL then wait for your stock HTC rom update for your Device serial number.
I hope you did not tried yet.
Good luck

sab is right,go to this thread and read or watch the video to HOW TO INSTALL HSPL

soon you done that you can get any cooked rom in here, Enjoy

Ok guys. Thank you for your advice. I waited for yours answers and didn't flash my device with another ROM. Patience is gold.

my ROM vs is 1.48.479.1 (71294) WWE... .there is the 1.66 on htc website for WWE but when i enter my S/N it says it is not correct... how's that? regarding the language... on first boot it asked me what language to use... i chose RO and it said to wait 3 minutes... the question is... the translation is htc or my service provider?
and how it is regarding radio upgrades?... do they really help?
thanks!

There is a WWE and WWE Eastern Europe. You need Eastern Europe version.
If you flash original ROM, it is with Radio ROM, newer Radio has better sensitivity, little battery drain, faster GPS fix etc....
If you use HSPL, you can flash any ROM and any Radio ROM, not only official...

Eastern Europe version v 1.66
Guys there is a Eastern Europe version v 1.66 floating around for some time which it will install without problem. Also there is a 1.66 version on sunnysoft page : http://sunnysoft.cz/download/HTC/ROM_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1-66.zip the one who is doing localization this link is brand new until couple of days there were stil 1.48.

Personally I am using the 2.08 version but this is due to the ROM I am using; I can not say that is much better or worse than the "default" one. The best one is the one you consider it right.

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 Vodafone Branding

Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer

install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.

i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.

Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.

Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!

HTC Hd2 from HK

Good morning,
I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.
My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .
What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means
Thanks

Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)

Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem

all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos

OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?
Thanks

Soon, I would be in Uk too. Which is the carrier who offers the mobile at a lower price -and which is the lower price-??Many thanks!!
