Hi @all,
i have a question according the correct image to flash.
I have a Xoom from the USA with CDMA (it was a gift).
I'm living in germany and normally it is no problem to use the xoom with english language. But some apps turn their language automatically to english (acc. the OS language) and there is no option to turn it to german.
So now I want to flash a european image, but which one?
Is this one correct and do I have to flash the verizon update, too?
Thanks in advance

This is not my area of expertise but a more informative post title might help you get attention from someone who knows about this area.
OK, changed the post title
If you dont need "root" but just german language as default locale, then go with official motorola roms.
I have flashed many of the motorolla official roms, on the US Verizon 3G Xoom, and they all worked (without GSM/UMTS obviously!)
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
You can pick the German retail one..
if you select the UMTS version, it will ocasionaly get some error msgs, related with the lack of UMTS hardware (you have CDMA) but without creating any usage problems.
If you select the wifi only version, you will have no error msgs..
Follow moto instructions and you will be fine, but DO NOT "fastboot oem lock" the device at the end!

I bought qtek9100 and was told that it has English version of the Windows Mobile 5 in English, but it was in Swedish. Now I want to change the langauge, how to do it?
I have already unlocked the CID and phone using the lockiwiz.
I am completely new to the Mobile PDA stuffs, so try to be explicit like how to get into the ROM. I am whining also because of the linguistic reasons.
Help solicited and will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

HI!

See the forums.
There´s alot of people knowing.

Sorry...U have problems with the swedish language?
....

im having the same problem with mine only mines in dutch.
but i figured i just moved here a month ago and its a good way to learn a bit of the language.
I've had my phone about 3 weeks and can now pretty much negotiate it all and picking up some dutch on the way. its all good.
Um, the question sorta confused me... I think you were asking how to change the language from Sweedish TO english... I feel the easiest way would be to flash a new rom (ok, maybee it is not the easiest, but it is the easiest I know of, it will be the most complete and you upgrade the thing at the same time, so why not?) I would flash the T-Mo 2.26, simply because it is the latest and I like it. I am not sure if it is worldwide English or American English (or what the heck the difference is anyway...) but I know it is english b/c I can read it... This rom is available somewhere around here, or PM me and I will email it to you... Hope this helps
Will changing ROM image change language?
Thank you everyone who replied to my question, yet I have some questions as below before proceeding (I used the lokiwiz0.2b to unlock sim and cid, do I still need to run the 0.3a version of lockiwiz?).
I downloaded the WWE ROM from ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Now my question (of course newbie) is how to install it? And will Changing the ROM will change the language of the Windows Mobile 5.0 too?
Please be explicit (because I am lost in my qtek in a language which I don't understand and I am doing a guess work all the time). Thanks again.
Advice solicited!
I tried to execute the ROM image I downloaded as stated above but held back because the ROM seems to be downgrading from 2.17.7.203 SVE to 2.17.2.202 WWE. So I held back.
In the meantime, I came across three posts and got confused which one to follow?

4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
I expect advice from the XDA experts which one to follow? My main objective is to change the language (from Swedish to English of my WM5PPC) and make the connections faster (radio, wifi and GSM).
Kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
Hey, sorry if this has already been posted on how to change language, but i have some specific questions i would like to ask.
1) I bought the Touch HD from Taiwan and the language of it is Traditional chinese, i was actually thinking that it was an international phone and would have several languages to choose from... but apparently not.
How would i go about changing the language from chinese to english?
What would i have to do?
2) If i change the language, do i lose everything that is currently on my phone?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
You could just flash a new Rom, it will change the phone to that Rom and replace what you currently have, a lot of Roms have the same stuff just tweaked for better performance so you would not lose much.
That is assuming your not on a phone carrier plan of course, check out the different roms to suit what you want
This phone was bought outright so im assuming im not carrier locked (Kinda hard seeing as im in australia and it was bought in taiwan )
So i would have to use HardSPL?
There are two options to do it there are excellant directions for both in the ROM section I used HardSPL but the choice is yours
I am currently visiting Italy, I really like the Optimos 7but there is one problem.
I don't speak Italian, so will I be able to change the language to English USA when I buy it?
Does it need different Rom with English Language like HTC ?
Please Advice.
Best Regards
I've taken mine from a Vodafone Shop.
I've just made a check for you and from the language menu it is possibile to select various langauges:
Deutsch
English ( UK)
English (USA)
Espanol
Francais
Italiano
Bye Bye

I will buy it from Vodafone Shop, But only have one concern, Is the phone Locked on Vodafone or Sim Free ?
Thank you and best regards
It's SIM FREE.... I'm using mine with a Telecom Italia Mobile SIM inside...
Bye
Don't worry is totally free Sim, i am using it with H3H network, i need only to change the setting for MMS and VPN , but is very easy to be.
Bye
And, if you don't have Vodafone as carrier, you can also flash the phone with the flash you prefer!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
take a look here)) I can post a more detailed flashing procedure if you want, I did it on mine and now changed flash (to don't have Vodafone customizations on a TIM sim card....)
I currently live in Italy and I'm planning to buy an Optimus 7... the problem is that currently I have 3, which does not sell it...
From the posts above it seems I can buy any version of the phone?? I've seem some interesting prices with the TIM version... And it also seems the only place selling the "EU FREE" version is redcoon.it, veeery expensive!
I am a little worried of buying an expensive new toy, only to try to flash it with the "EU FREE" rom and brick it... this MMS and VPN config can be done without flashing?
Many thanks!
Leo.
flashing is not so dangerous procedure, you find all the information and file needed here, there is also a really detailed guide how to flash made by me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578&page=4
anyway if you want to stay on TIM fw you can change the XML file that contain all the carrier information using the MFG menu doing this
call ##634# open MFG application and then enter 277634#*#
under Engineer menu select other settings, then set network profile.
Here you can choose the XML file with the proper operator settings.
Enjoy)))

But would there be a XML file for 3, given that the phone is still not available at this carrier?

Ok, great! So Optimus 7, here I go...
Right now it is 380 EUR on MediaWorld online... interesting price for 16Gb of memory!
So, just bought it!
To reflash or not to reflash, that is the question...
flash! flash! flash!

IF u need a really detailed guide in Italian, I can give it to you, I written by myself.

Or is a even more complete? If it is, then send it please
Anyway, I'm downloading the EUROPE OPEN firmware available at the other topic...
yeah, you got it)))
just I don't understand if u speak italian or not because you live in Trento but you have a different flag...
Rider,
reading carefully the detailed guide on the other topic, I saw that you said:
"Ti consiglio di rimanere sul firmware dell’operatore che utilizzi, il firmware “open” a me non è piaciuto e non è sembrato neanche stabile, tantomeno open"
So... now I don't know if I should flash or not! What did you mean with the fw not seeming "open" and also not stable?
Thanks!
Leo.
Edit: just saw your previous post... so I do speak Italian, but not that much... for me is easier to write in English, but I could understand you guide!
Anyway, I'm from Brazil, but I live in Trento! ciao!
on that firmware I had problems with MFG phone built-in application and the carrier is "OPN_NEU", it is clearly written, in my really humble opinion NEU is new in german, so that sounds like an operator that left intentionally open the fw customizations....
Maybe I am just saying a load of bullshits but I really didn't liked the firmware, personally I passed from Vodafone to Telecom Italia Mobile because TIM is my operator... my advice is to use the firmware that you use on your SIM card, so you ensure a trouble-free operation of your phone with your operator.
Use the "open" only if u have particular needing, like changing SIM frequently.
Yeah, but my carrier is Tre... no official firmware for it (at least yet!)
Btw, a weird problem here: I tried to open the MFG app with ##634## and it says "This command isn't supported"...
any help on this?
##634# you putted one extra

Hello, I want to change the display language to spanish in my AT&T HTC Surround but the setting appears to be locked (the option is in black background) and can't be changed when I tap on it.
Also, the only option for keyboard languages is english.
Am I doing something wrong or is it that AT&T removed those features?
Do you guys know if this will be fixed in a software update?
Thanks.
the OS supports spanish, but at&t probably chose not to include the language pack for whatever reason. It could be added in a future update, but its entirely up to at&t.

Considering how much I enjoyed my dvp I decided to order two of them for a friend of mine. I made sure that they were carrier unlocked and I had them sent from the US. The dvps arrived with factory installed Mango and some t-mo stuff installed (?). I tried an Italian sim card to make sure they were unlocked and it worked perfectly so I just uninstalled the useless apps from t-mo and went in the settings panel to change the language of the device.
I'm able to change everything but the display language. From what I learnt on xda it needs a registry hack to fix this but considering the fact that we can't do that is there another way? My dvp can change the display language with no problem so I thought I could flash these dvps with the rom of my device but it seems a bit extreme to me...
(a cool thing about t-mo dvp is that it can set google as default search provider)
You do not necessarily need to mess with the registry to install additional languages. I was able to install the dutch language by using the Windows Phone update application from Microsoft after downloading the language pack and some other update packages from the Windows Update site. The links to these packages can be found here.
It may require an dev unlocked phone though, but I cannot be certain for that... I used ChevronWP7.
I successfully did the cab sender method but the display language is still "unclickable", any advice?

Anyone? I really need to change the language.
Someone in the update cab thread was saying that the DVP only allows you to use the english language pack. I don't know if this is true, or whether having a developer unlocked phone would help.

Ascario, did you install the Dutch language on a DVP, or was it another Windows Phone model?

That could be true. My dvp is dev unlocked but my subscription is expired and I can't unlock the other devices. I guess I'll have to wait 'till someone finds the way to unlock the damn dvp.

I did install the Dutch Language on my DVP. I have to admit I was surprised it actually worked and "Nederlands" became one of the options in the language menu. I have to add though that I have a German DVP, Italian was already one of the options. If I'm not mistaken, there is a difference between the US and European firmware. You basicly need a European DVP to add other European languages, except for Spanish perhaps.
do we have the .ffu of the european firmware? if so, is it safe to flash that firmware on US DVPs?
