Language change

I've bought a t-mobile mda in austria yesterday.can i change the language of my device to english? :?:

Yes you can, by flashing a new ROM. There's multiple ways of doing that. Take a look at http://xda-developers.com/rom for some basic information.
No, we can't give you the ROM itself. It's copyrighted. There's plenty of places on the net where you can get it legally though. Read some of the related topics on this forum

There is no English ROM from T-Mobile in the net (you better do not use the US Version as this might kick the GSM-Part to hell). But you can flash a O2 ROM, first you have to patch that ROM-file (language and model definition)

Hi Mager,
thanks for your reply, i am interested in changing language too, could you please describe what you mean by 'you have to patch that ROM-file' ???
Or please give a hint, where to find the info.
Would be great.
Thanks ako

Very easy just make an sd-card with bootload (see on this site) form an xda with your wish language. start bootloader with this sd-card in your xda (to be updated) press action finish.

I have also purchased a T-Mobile MDA from Germany and would like to change the menu to English. I would be happy to follow your instructions about flashing an O2 Rom but I am unable to find one on the internet. The few places that have updates require a mobile number that is specific to the phone company.
Does anyone know where I can find a european english rom update?
Thanks for your help,

changing language
hi!
i saw your post and im in the same case
did you find how to change your t mobile mda in german to english?
i downloaded the rsu and ruu programs on o2 ireland but when i want to install the ruu it says it cant find rom image (error 007)
did you have an idea???
thanX

I have not managed to find an english rom to download yet. As soon as I do I will let you know what progress I make.

the solution
Hi!
After many trying, at last, i ve find how to change my MDA in german to english language.
My way is not maybe the best one, but it works perfectly!
1. So, you have to download:
- the rsu update on O2 Ireland (rsu_eng.exe)
- the ruu update on O2 Ireland (ruu_eng.exe)
- the ruu update on T Mobile Germany (ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe)
- an hexeditor (i used Free Hex Editor which is a freeware)
2. Install "rsu_eng.exe" (explanation are on O2 Ireland web site)
3. Extract "ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe" in a folder (with winzip for example). Go to the sub-folder named "German". Delete the file named "NK_Jazz31307ger_TMobile_full.nbf". In the same way, extract "ruu_eng.exe" in another folder. Copy "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf" which is present in the sub folder "english" and paste it in the sub-folder "German".
4. Run "Upgrade.exe". Follow the steps until the message which indicate that the next step is the upgrading. Open "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf" with the hexeditor. You have to change the beginning of first line to: "PW10A2-GER-3.14-003". Save the file. Go back to the upgrade utility and press next button.
5. Thats all! It works! Follow all the instructions on your mda and in the explanation on O2 Ireland Like we used to say in France: "C'est vraiment de la bidouille de merde!"
I saw some advice on the web site "pc-counselor" but it doesnt work on my mda like they said, so i try a lot of possibilities.
Now, my ROM version is 3.14.13 ENG O2 Europe (10/09/02) and my radio version is 4.14. If anybody here know where i can find the 3.15.15 ENG O2 Europe (12/11/02) version or another more recent, i will be grateful. Is there a version after radio 4.14?
About others languages, like french, i think its not possible to switch if the telephone operator doesnt provide a rom update in his language. But perhaps there is a way to do it? If someone knows, im interested in.
Sorry to have been long, but since this evening i was really sad not to find a message which explain in detail how to proceed, so i think about others like me
Bye

Thank you for your detailed account. I appreciate your help.
I will let you know how I fair with the transition.
If by any chance you can help me find the Irish programs please let me know.
Thanks, apap

irish update
as i said in my msg, u can find the rsu and ruu programs on the web site of o2 ireland
go to "product and services" section, then to "mobile internet" section, then "xda" section, and there you have "software upgrade"
its done!
nevertheless if you find some upgrade more recent tell it to me please
see ya

Thanks for this, but in order to upgrade I am required to provide an o2 cell number which I don't have.

numbers
in order to download these updates you ONLY have to enter your imei and your product serial number (they explain how to find it on your mda). in the other fiels you can do like me: fill what you want 8)
are u ok now?
ps: for the "xda mobile" field, use the right click button and copy what you want here

Thanks a lot. I will download it. :wink:

Just wanted to let you know that I have followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly. I now have the English O2 language setting.
Thanks again for your help.

I tried to use the proceedure described here but I got an error when it went to do the actual flash, it didnt even start the flash (thank god). I went to download all of the files as described here but the file ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe is not available on T Mobile anylonger. How would I do it by using the newest file available?
I tried to use the same procedures here but instead of changing the text to "PW10A2-GER-3.14-003" as described I used "PW10A2-GER-3.16-003" because that was the file I had downloaded. But this is when I got an error. Should I have used the PW10A2-GER-3.14-003 even though this was not the file I have?
I tell you, this really P*sses me off that T-Mobile doesnt offer an English OS for this damn MDA here in Germany. I mean I understand that I am in Germany and all...but damn, customer service! But I have lived in Germany long enough to know that Customer Service and T-Mobile (German Telekom) do NOT mix, they have NO IDEA how to support customers.....and the US office was not much better (like I would expect them to be!) I mean if all of you can figure out how to do this I am sure they can do it in a manner that would be very easy for the customer and it wouldnt take THAT MUCH on thier behalf....... OK I am done venting now!

MDA Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have purchased a MDA PW10A2 from Germany. Currently I have an adjourned ROM 3.13.36 ger and radio 4.16. I would like to change the language in English.
I have followed your instructions, but with more recent ROM version .
I have not succeeded in effecting the updating.
I have modified the first line of the file English inserting both the version downnloaded of the German rom (PW10A2-GER-3.16-003) and the one used by you. I don't succeed in making the upgrade, it tells me that it is not a valid rom.
Then I have made the original German updating to try the downloaded file.
I would like to try with your ROMs, even if they are less recent but I don't succeed in finding her.
Can you help me???

1) You must change the version at exactly the right time.
2) You DO NOT change ROM version. You just change the hw version it needs (PW10A1 to PW10A2 for example).

changing from german to English
I read your instructions in the forum. Can I use the same method on a O2 xda I bought in Germany? Is there a difference between an mda and an xda?

What do you mean by "change the version at exactly right time?"

Firmware Update - Legend HTC WWE 2.03.405.3

Hi,
I've just updated my Legend to the 2.03.403 version. So far i noticed that there's a new version of the quickoffice, improved performance and battery. Most Important multi-touch (pinch zoom)for Google maps!Has anybody figured out any new / additional feature beside what i mentioned ?

Without a garantueed method to root this update or a pre-rooted version I won't touch this even with a ten-foot pole.

Just convert your sdcard into goldcard. That's it. Launch the official RUU file...install it... and you're ready!

No, I was not talking about "How can I do this" but about the implications of that update.
There is no root-version of it for now, or is there?

The version is unrooted. Nothing will be rooted. You're using an original version with no changes... should be totally fine.

If you flash this to your rooted phone, you loose the rooting..

I didn't have rooted it. Just goldcard. And yes you loose the root.

this new firmare is out from today? WHere can I read my firmware version to check what version I have?

Will this firmware update become avaliable OTA from HTC? If not, how do I install it on my phone?

No OTA for now, you have to flash this like a normal rom, but you might need a Goldcard.
So:
Create Goldcard (It's somewhere on this forum)
Put the Goldcard in your phone
Turn on the phone
Connect your phone to your pc
Run the RUU from your pc and follow the steps
It should flash the new rom, but remember that you'll loose root!
If you haven't rooted, there is no problem

One change I've noticed is that I can now use the map background from Terra Time - it would not work before.
Now that I have installed this update does it mean that I can no longer root my phone?

Another change - I can now open up the full youtube site when tethered instead of getting palmed off to the mobile site.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the new firmware has Cyrillic keyboard?

Nothing for Italy at this moment....

It has Russian keyboard, but it is hidden (at least, on my phone).
I had to set my locale to Russian with MoreLocale. This switches the entire UI to Russian unfortunately, but enables Russian in HTC IME.
Same was true for my original 1.xx ROM.

...
just updated on ger unbranded legend with win7 pro 64 bit without any problem... now testing ;-) ...

Is there swedish language included in this?

Is this ROM have English lang available on it? I bought my legend from india (1.32).
Will i be able to get OTA updates from HTC after flashing this ROM? I guess i ll also lose my warranty?
Please tell me as i want to flash this ROM desparately.

Help debranding i5800

Hello am very new to android. Have just got a I5800 that was originally on t mobile. Its unlocked now but i want to flash a generic official rom. I know how to root it if needs be. Could someone advise me on how to go about the debranding.
Thanks in advance

Go to samfirmware.com there you'll find roms (official). Search here in the forum for a flashing guide...

ok i have just found the flashing guide.
i forgot to ask about the CSC. i have a diffrent windows mobile samsung (omnia lite b7300) and when i flashed this for the first time i never knew about the CSC.
my question is this. i assume flashing one package will also flash the CSC, and on the winmo omnia lite the CSC had details of the operators that the data settings are automatically recognised for.
is this the same for android devices and if so does anyone have a UK English CSC for the i5800 or is there any way i can back it up and reflash or am i just worrying about nothing
thanks for your help

Well if you're asking that if you flash one package, it will also flash the csc? Probable and if you want a csc for i5800 just download jpf.

yeah looks like JPF has a english CSC.. hope it has provider settings for the uk lol.
am gonna go try flash when the firmwares downloaded hopefully il be ok.
thanks everyone for your fast replys

anyone got any english i5800 roms with CSC included before i smash it out of frustration. loved this phone before this

found the language option but i still need a english uk default rom or csc because of service proivider settings and when i hard reset

Well download a rom from here and flash and you should be on froyo in the u.k and if not try finding an XW rom

here is the stock estonia elisa 2.2.2 rom

and this is wind's image folder. this contains wind's files.

first flash 2.2.2 firmware, then boot to pink screen, connect your phone, find the image folder, replace it with the one inside the "stock 2.2.2 img.zip"
hopefully this will work. Haven't tried it though...
Good luck
EDIT: Reply when you've downloaded the files to kill the links... Dropbox will kill me

then i ran the "auto update" from a storage card, press system> rom update. But then pop ups a message box "extended Rom update cannot be applied to this regions version.". I living in Lithuania, but in asus suppport website i didin't found version for lithuanian users. I readed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384868 .

Why not do a hard-reset first? This will get rid of all the stuff that the previous owner installed - no need to re-load the ROM for that. Going further you may first want to install your own stuff and see if the ROM is ok for you then. Only in case you cannot install what you want THEN think about installing cooked ROMs.
As AndrewSh has already outlined, there is a big community of ASUS users in Russia - you should find all you need there.
