Hi,
I have been using a Wizard for about a year now but last week i dropped it really hard and its having some problems. So, I was thinking about getting the Hermes.
I live in Taiwan and the Hermes that I can get through the phone company (unlocked. No phones here are locked) has a chinese version of WM5 on it. I was wondering how easy it is to change this. Is the ROM actually WM itself? Meaning that I could just download a ROM?
That's my main question.
Another question I'd like to pose to yuio guys is how you feel abuot the Hermes in general especially as compares to the Wizard (if yuo were a past user).
Thanks in Advance.
Anyone?
Basically Im just wondering if a ROM is a whole new OS.
Would really appreciate a response.

Hi Marlz, I'm with you.
I have a XDA II since about 3 years and I'm pretty sure I was amongst the first who got the Language changed from German to English.
It worked nice until now. Today my PDA is acting up, the phone "hangs" a lot lately. I missed several calls due to that. Also, every time I want to send an MMS it does a hard reset...
Now, why am I telling this?
I'm in the process of buying a french Hermes (TYTN). So I said to myself, no big deal, just hop on the Forum and look for some info like I did some years ago and change it in English.
Well, in the mean time there is so much information on this site that I really can't see the wood through the trees, if you know what I mean.
If been surfing for a while now but I can't find a clear and simple guide or information in order to change the language.
Did you manage to do it?
Anyone with a clear guideline or link... feel free.
Thanks and greetings from Belgium
Hi!
Yes i managed to do it with no problems. After reading the wiki i pieced together the needed steps whichn outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292474
I think the step depend on what version of bootloader you have.
Good Luck.
Thanks but I kinda circumnavigated the problem, I bought a new UK one.
Thanks for the tip though.
Hey everyone,
First post here, but I've been reading for a while, since I was deciding on a new phone.
Anyhow, judging by the title you can probably guess what I'm interested in. I recently bought this phone as I'm studying abroad in Greece. But my Greek isn't that good and apparently the phone (or windows mobile 6, I'm still new to this) is hard coded in Greek.
I really want to change the language, and I know a few things about computers I believe
So, is there anyone knows if there is a way around this? I'd prefer not to flash my hard drive as making a 350 euro phone a brick with no warranty seems to not entice me.
1) Is the language embedded in the LG KS20 or Windows Mobile 6
2) Is there a string in a .dll or something I can change to reset the language to English? Or, any software you guys know of capable of doing this? Or should I just go back to the company and ask them to mail me a new one (which will prob take a month )
*Ps: I saw the plugin thread that seems to be a hot topic, but I saw that it was originally in French or Dutch (not sure what ROM was dumped) and was translated to English. But I didn't know if it was the same for all language, as I said I'm new to this.
Best wishes, and hope I can get some feedback,
Sheky
Hi guys,
New member but I did do my homeworks, no worries, and Im here to learn not for the quick fast and easy answer, programmers unite!!
Got my hands on the X1 3 weeks ago in Singapore. 2 Things mainly pisses me off:
1-Even tho its fully unlocked ( using my Canada Rogers SIM and configured everything so DATA plans work, thanks XDA ), I got this ****ty O2_UK rom on my phone ... Customization V.. O2_UK in the Customer Info. tab in settings. I will most probably put on the SE_UK rom as soon as I get back home from my biz trip, and then fool around with custom cooked roms
2-Since its a O2 stupid image and they are sponsored by Yahoo ( at least thats the explanation I found) they removed the google panel and google map application from their rom. And there is no other application to double check if the GPS is actually there and working, at least I cant find any.
So im heading back to Singapore for a day and want to make sure my x1 is fully operational before heading back home in canada, is there any way to check for the GPS device in the phone in any settings or without having to download google map or other map software? Any ways of checking this would be greatly apreciated
Cheers
You can install the Google Maps from the Stock NAM ROM here:

hiya - i'm guessing this issue has already been addressed somewhere... i'm also assuming that i'm too inept to search the correct terms - lol.
what i have is an HTC Touch HD which i bought on eBay (as new) and today received it back from a drop issue RMA from HTC America... apparently this unit is Dutch, and as such, it was flashed to the original settings. i never opened any of the UE inclusives in the package when i received the phone because i was simply upgrading from a Touch Pro to the HD, so what's the bother?
anywhooo... i managed to flash WM 6.5 (Miri's v.7-something) today, and am not at all comfortable with the performance. what i would like to achieve is an English rom flash of WM 6.1 & the original (English) HTC factory settings and perhaps go from there. things i am unable to do with the latest (6.5) flash are items such as 'stocks', 'simple-view' of the today screen (such as i was used to) and so on...
if there be any chance someone might point me in the right direction, i certainly would appreciate it.
if this thread needs to be moved, please feel free to do so & contact me either thru this link or directly at my email address - been almost a month without this phone & i ACHE to have it back to the familiar, user-friendly manner that it once was. lol.
thanks every1 John - ezbay.sales
Welcome to XDA-Developers! Please take a moment to review the rules with regards to searching before posting.
That being said...
Checkout the Blackstone Wiki. It will point you to exactly what you are looking for. [Hint: You want a WWE ROM]
No need to change the RM-820 to RM-821. There is very easy way to update the ROM. This is very simple with Nokia tool. Here is the tool name: Nokia Software Updater for Retail 3.0.8. Just make Google search and find it Maybe it is not the last version, so it will ask you to update if needed, do not worry. What you have to do ? Before you start doing anything you should know that this update will wipe up everything in your phone. So, think it over before you start doing update.
1. Make back up of your phone and data.
2. Connect cable to your phone Lumia 920 and computer.
3. Start update.
4. All will go automatically.
5 Finally enjoy.
Take into consideration that after install you have 2G, 3G and 4G connection. But the phone will be connected to 4G. So if you do want to change it just go to Settings-Cellular-Highest Connection Speed and change it to 3G or 2G or leave it 4G if you want to.
Please, take into consideration that I am not the person who made this. All credits go to this person where you can find instruction what and how.
See the web site: http://www.wolfgang-ziegler.com/blog/manual-amber-gdr2-update-on-my-lumia-920#.UiDNPdIwfxe
p.s. I am not responsible for your device at all if you brick or something happens to your device. Please read carefully everything before you flash. But in picture you can see my device that is developer device from Canada but I live in Israel. Do not forget to thank me too
I've seen the Nokia Updater Software app. I forgot all about that since Rogers finally came out with their Amber ROM for the RM-820 devices. One thing though, is this putting the same AT&T Developer ROM that I have listed in my thread on the phone? I've seen that the Rogers Amber ROM is much more stable than that one. Can you post screenshots of your extras+info with the more info button clicked? I want to see what it's branded as.
ALSO, Reupload the photos you have on here but REMOVE your IMEI from it.
Thanks you about IMEI. I did not even think about it. I do not think that it is the same Rogers Amber developer ROM. Take a look in the pictures of Extra info. This ROM is stable and for me really I had no problems at all. I have checked every little thing in the ROM. I like it a lot.
It's the same as the AT&T Dev ROM. It's also branded for Canada with 000-CA as the branding code. IF you start to run into issues with data and wifi acting crazy, I'd switch to the Rogers equivalent as it has been very stable for me.
Nokia retailer tool found and updated it. So I guess it will not update again. And for now I do not have problems at all. WiFi and data is OK for me even better than before and more sensitive. I do not see any problems. But I live in Israel and updated in such an easy way that I am very surprised how I succeeded to make it. I just plugged the phone and that's all generally saying. But I looked in your thread it was unclear for me. So I found this and made it. Now I am more than happy and make better pictures quality with more zooming. Now I can tell that My Nokia Lumia 920 developer device takes better pictures than my former HTC Sensation XL phone.
Yeah. I'm glad you made this thread. When I released mine, the Amber Rom for the at&T dev rom wasn't up on NCS yet so the only way to get it was to get it from that wperhelper app.
You are right now people can flash the ROM but I am not sure if this is only for developer devices or this tool can find also all updates ? No matter where you live. I am sure lots of people wait for updates and lots of developer devices did not get yet and lots of other devices owners do not know how easy is to update the ROM in Nokia Lumia. It is easier than Android for me. By the way. i am future developer, I am studying Java on my own from youtube.
Have a question. How come Nokia officially does not support this tool that I found in internet ? I mean openly. And why ? If it flashes and I did it well. For me it is very strange to get negative answers from Nokia representatives of Canada that there is no update for my developer device and in Israel where I live Nokia told me that they cannot help me and i should contact the other representative in other countries.

Do you have more than 10 GB videos/pics/songs on your handset? Do you have offline GPS apps (such as Navigon, Here Drive, CoPilot) with maps? Do you play games (and wanna save your results/progress)?
I don't understand why people calling update with full wipe "easy update"? Or you have a lot of free time?

What is difficult with update with full wipe ? Tell me please. Yes, it is easier than Android and I will tell again and again. It seems to me that you are not satisfied with something and try to blow up your non satisfaction in here. No need to tell about having a lot of free time at all. You lose your point here. Please try to be to the point. I did this in order to make easier to flash the new ROM, not to discuss about having a lot of time or less time. thank you for your understanding sensboston.
I already quoted words with which I don't agree. WP updates with full wipe is much more complicated comparing with Android. Nobody (including you) in WP ROM update topics never mention about full user data wipe in the opening posts. This may confuse some people and make this procedure dangerous and not suitable.

In the case of the full wipe/reset I should:
- re-upload 16 GB of pics/videos/music to my handset;
- re-download maps for Navigon, Here Drive, CoPilot;
- re-synchronize my corporate email (yes, I should keep all my emails to be able to search some important info);
I'll lose all my:
- alarms/contacts ringtones;
- game progresses;
- user groups and linked accounts assignment;
Is it not enough for you? For me - it is!
And - again! - WP updates are not an "easy"! It's my point.
Thank you for info, I have added up a sentence about full wipe, even though it is written in the url that I suggested to go to for more details. Additionally, I personally do not have so much stuff in phone as you do that's why for me it is easier to make full wipe. I have back up of my all pics and videos and SMS. So, make your update via regular one over the air if you have so much stuff to do, nobody forces you to update this way. Or if you think that you lose a lot, maybe do not update at all. Still, for me it is easier update comparing to Android because saying the update I mean the process of updating not whatever you should do afterwards. In Android you have to unlock boot loader, root, and so on. Here I did not see the problem with my updating process. Whatever after the update is more individual related issues.
Hi i have now a lumia 925 with the same info like your snapshots only the Configuration ID is different i have ID nr 238516 , but i can,t instal thirtparty apps now, wen i flash with this tool is my phone than lock free or not, so is it then possible to instal app,s from sideload like clockapp timeme ?

are you sure that program gives you update of the same rom ? i have tried this second time (did not update but searched for it) and it gives me the other amber rom update with different label id. most likely would be the same in your case. additionally, in my case i have developer device that's why i cannot answer your question unfortunately.
thanks for replay, yes it,s the same only manufaturer name= RM_892_eu_sweden_243 and mobile operator =000-DK
Configuratie ID = 238516 Label ID 3047.0000.1326.10144.

Sorry, I cannot answer your question at all since mine is completely different rom and my device is different as well. Yours is lumia 925 and mine lumia 920 developer device. But I can tell about my device that I got at & t rom and now when I plug into computer and start this tool it gives me update but the other one - canadian update of rogers which would be exact for my device.
By the way this at & t rom is not stable. I will go now for Rogers, Canadian variant as my phone is developer Canadian one

RM-820 = North American Lumia 920
RM-821 = Asia Pacific/South American/European Lumia 920
821 ROMS will have different wireless band information from 820 ROMS (especially if you're on CDMA) since the bands are different between North America and other continents.
