crashed update - 5.17 bootloader & restore doesn't work

I was doing a rom upgrade which failed after updating the bootloader to the progress bar - so far no prob. Was happy to re-cradle the device and start again, which was happy to begin until it came back with;
The ROM image you are trying to upgrade is not compatible [to] your Pocket PC.
Here are the differences;
Your Device Information;
Model: PW10A1:001
ROM Version: 4.00
Language English
Your Upgraded Image Information;
Model: PW10A1:007
ROM Version: 3.16
Language English
Please download the compatible utility and try again.
OK, I have tried both ROM kitchens and am unable to create an image of type .nbf with the NBF Header string which will fool the installer. A couple of times I received a failure in the kitchen with folders non-existent, but more recently completed the build but still no joy. Have tried all possible rom bases.
I was able to create a Bootloader patch SD, but only after unsuccessful timewasting with XDARit 1.2, finally found 1.0 and voila. Of course now I get the diagnostic menu but cannot seem to create a correct image SD to boot because it always reverts to the patch menu again when I tell it to restore. I don't think I am doing anything wrong in image creation, and have tried both the XDARit and XDATools method. No joy.
Any clues? At the moment it is not heavy enough for a boat anchor, and the white screen is not bright enough for a torch!
Appreciate any suggestions asap.
Cheers,
David

Which ROM do you want? I have got the all a part from 4.00.16.
Let me know and I email you it.
:wink:

re: crashed update
Ritmo-Unido thanks for that. Not sure any of my ISPs will allow 16Mb of attachment though. 4.00.16 sounds like the go. Let's give it a try. Otherwise share it under Kazaa or something and I will find it if you like.

Extra information for those others interested; reading through other posts this is a problem other Australian owners appear to have had also. Must be something peculiar to the Asian 5.17 Wallaby?

HOWTO: Customize keyboard`s language in UDK R0?

Is there any way to add language layout (ex. russian) to diamond keyboard in UDK perfect rom 0?
I thought that SK TOOLs would help but failure - it`s only check/uncheck SIPs and can`t install new or modify lang of exist SIPs.
I tried to instal russian versions but at the end of setup process there is a warning "Installation is unsuccessfull because there are not enough rights to it."

[100% Working] Changing the default language of Xperia X2 - takes you 5 minutes.

This message is now updated with a 100% working, and quick way of changing your language for the X2 device. I have now tested with 4 different languages (fi, en, se and de), and all worked. I also updated the cabs to report to the Update Software that the phone has an old versison. Now it does not compalin that the latest version is installed!
I have tested with these languages: GENERIC_FI, GENERIC_SE, GENERIC_UK and GENERIC_DE. The rest of the cabs are created with the same rules, so they should work to (if not, then please post here which cab does not work).
Before you upgrade, please write down the following info and fill it into the form on the download-page!! I really want this info.
I would like to know which all versions are out there, and how they are connected to the different ID:s and versions!
Code:
Software ID:
Software Version:
Customization ID:
Customization version:
Language Region:
Content version Software language:
In what country the phone is bought:
Otherwise i have to put a special form that requires everyone to fill in this info before you can proceed to download..
Just follow these steps
Get one of these cabs, and save it on yout SD-card (not phone, becaue you will erase the memory during this procedure!):
x2_generic_be.cab
x2_generic_cn.cab
x2_generic_cz.cab
x2_generic_de.cab
x2_generic_dk.cab
x2_generic_en.cab
x2_generic_es.cab
x2_generic_fi.cab
x2_generic_fr.cab
x2_generic_gr.cab
x2_generic_in.cab
x2_generic_it.cab
x2_generic_mea.cab
x2_generic_nl.cab
x2_generic_no.cab
x2_generic_pl.cab
x2_generic_pt.cab
x2_generic_ru.cab
x2_generic_se.cab
x2_generic_sg.cab
x2_generic_tw.cab
x2_generic_uk.cab
x2_sony_us.cab
x2_vodafone_es.cab
x2_polkomtel_pl.cab
Save the cab on your SD-card
Reset the memory of your phone (settings->Clear phone)
After the reboot, you have to align the screen. When finished, the phone starts to install cabs. NOW remove the battery (or press the reset-button on the back of the phone) so that the custom cabs wont get installed
Start the phone again. Now when you get a screen that asks you if you want to continut the installation process, click NO. The phone boots up to default windows mobile with no SE panels etc.
Now install the custom language-cab you downloaded to your SD-card earlier
Turn off the phone
Start the phone and keep the vol-down + power button down till you come tho the white SE screen.
Start the SE Update Software, pick your X2 and click next. Connect the phone to the USB-cable when the software asks you to do so.
After a while, the update-software informs that there is a new software-update available. Just hit next/continue and confirm that the phone's data will be erased.
There is NO need to remove any files on windows, The update software starts to automatically fetch the ROM that matches the installed custom-CAB
Now you notice that the update-software starts to download the new ROM (over 125Mb). If for some reason the upgrade does not start to install (eg. one case was with a demo X2 phone), then just let the phone complete the custom cab-installation It does a factory-reset before it resumes the install)
Below are the different language-versions available. I have not yet had time to create cabs for other languages, but if you need a specific language, then post to this thread a request so that i can create a custom cab for that language.
It would be nice if you would report to this thread if you succeed or not with this upgrade!
So, here is a list of available regions that i simply picked up from listigs of ROM:s To get the MR2-release, it has to have been released by SE...
Code:
Belgium - GENERIC_BE
Czech - GENERIC_CZ
Danish - GENERIC_DK
Dutch - GENERIC_NL
English (Generic) - GENERIC_EN
English (UK) - GENERIC_UK
Finnish - GENERIC_FI
French - GENERIC_FR
German - GENERIC_DE
Greek - GENERIC_GR
Indian - GENERIC_IN
Middle East - GENERIC_MEA
Polish - GENERIC_PL
Portuguese - GENERIC_PT
Russian - GENERIC_RU
Singapore - GENERIC_SG
Spanish - GENERIC_ES
Swedish - GENERIC_SE
Taiwan - GENERIC_TW
etc...
Needless to say that you do these tweaks on your own risk

There are two other files that go along with this, and i can confirm that it did not work for me.
ill see if i can get the other file names. but i belive there may be another thread floatinga round that has suggested this as well.

Do you mean this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6522684&postcount=56
The second file contained a readme
12:00 pm 02/26/2010
DMS00758434 - set security policy 4109 (0x100d) to 3136
17:37 26.04.2010

And then the the setup-file with the SecurityPolicy change (no clue what that does..)

I guess you are trying to install the russian version, right?
What you showed on the above screencapture is an Uk-version of the X2.
To figure out more precisely what went wrong, you need to confirm to me that you followed all steps i have explained in the first post of this thread.

i gave my phone back to the seller because it was prototype version of the x2

I think that the hardware is the same, but with an old software.
Did you
Reset the phone
Cancel the installation of the cabs after aligning the screen?
Install the generic_ru cab?
I did this, and i had an russian x2 with the latest R3A software...
So my opinion is that you gave back a great phone!

.
yes i did like you but still was the same.
now i'm going to buy SE X10

I had a couple of times that the update did not work on the first time. What i did was that i rebooted the phone, and when it asked if i want to continue the cancelled update-process i answer yes. Now the phone asks you to accept a reset. After accepting, the phone reboots, and you are at stage one again when the phone asks you to align the screen. Again when finished, cancel the update-process by removing the battery.
Now install your generic_XX cab (download a fresh copy of it!).
Now reboot your phone at least one time. What you could do is paste the content of the following files (you can get to them via ActiveSync):
\windows\swVersionCust.txt
\windows\swvercust.txt
\windows\swVersionProduct.txt

Thank you for your solution, i think soft-reset after installing cab is mandatory.
All work as you describe, I've just flashed my X2 from English to Russian.

Great to hear that this worked I have now for fun installed 5 different languages

Spanish Cab
Thank you for the amazing work.
Is posible get the spanish cab for the procedure ??
Regards,
Eric

thanks hertell
since we don't have SPL yet, I suggest this thread being stickyed
Some suggestions:
1.- a spanish CAB ??
2.- many users vahe tryed and tryed everything before with no success, which means their PC SEUS SOFTWARE IS ALREADY MARKED with their current I-wanna-get-rid-of language. this prevents the installation of a new language...
May I suggest you to include anohter step into your guide:
UNINSTALL SEUS FROM THE PC and reinstall it after the lang CAB has been installed
OR
delete folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db

Regarding the re-installation of SEUS, or deleting the files, i say that that's pointless. I have not done that, and i can install any of my tested languages directly without having to every time download them... SEUS can even resume nicely uncomplete downloads!
I think that the Spanish language has not yet been released, but as soon that will be released, then i'll create a new cab for with spanish language.
There is one thing that puzzles me, and I would like to know a bit more about what they mean (This is an example from the GENERIC_UK rom):
Software Id: 1230-2799
Customization Id: 1231-4909
Customization Version: R22A
What do these values mean? I would apreciate if someone could explain me more in detail, and if someone could point me to a complete, then that would be even better!
If this is some kind of flavour of each specific language, then it's not a big deal for me to create a custom cab for each of these flavours.

I just added two Spanish cabs: Standard + Vodafone. With this you can change your language to Spanish. Currently there is no spanish MR2 release, but you should get the spanish previous version installed.

Man I just want to tell you that you have done an amazing job.
Thanks!!

Thank you!!
My phone is currently in Europe as i did not want to risk "bricking" it myself: better to blame someone else if it happens But you have some pretty clear instructions so if I were to do it myself, I dont think that I would have a problem.
I sent this as a link for a more experienced tech to follow and make the change from Czech to English.
Unfortunately I do not know the the answers to the questions that you recently posted on your first post in this thread but as soon as i get it back I can try to find out what I can: albeit it will already be too late because it would have been changed already.
Anyways thank you again so much for figuring this out. Dealing with SE is so frustrating: "you bought the phone in Slovakia therefore it is not meant to be used anywhere else." WHAAAAA??!?!?!? Darn SE... have some product support for once.

hi hertell,i try to change language to my xperia but every time it return vodafone spain.I try with generic_it and generic _es but seus upgrade evry time firmware vodafone

So, the same problem with "You phone already has the latest available software installed" with only button "Exit" in SEUS.
Trying all variants described there with no luck....

Changing display language in Mango?

Is it possible to change to a previously unavailable display language in Optimus 7 using MFG when already in Mango? What would be the exact procedure?

There probably is no way to change the language when already in Mango so a Nodo restore is required before applying the registry settings needed for a correct language pack? Has anyone succesfully changed the language through the update method using MFG?

I also would like to know if it is possible. If somebody has changed the registry with the MFG and downloaded Mango with other language, I would be happy to know how he or she done that.

Procedure in MFG?
01. Your phone must be in Nodo.
02. Dial ##634# to start MFG, then use password 277634#*# to enter the app
03. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Setting -> Edit Registry
04. Select ROOT_PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
05. Input SUB_PATH: \MUI\Available
06. Input KEY: 040B (this code is for Finnish language)
07. Select data type: STRING
08. Input data: Suomi (this is Finnish in Finnish..)
09. Press Set
10. Update to Mango and you'll have your preferred language in your Optimus 7.

Ok, now it worked (previous post edited)! Get your own language code and -name and apply it instead of '040b' and 'Suomi' and youre good to go Mango with your own language!

Thank you so much for this post! I've changed the registry for the Polish (0415) and now I'm waiting for the update. Hope it works

Okay, I've rolled back to NoDo with a restore point and I've added the MFG menu. So all I have to do now is to add the correct code for swedish language support as stated and "Svenska" (swedish for swedish) in the field below and update to Mango and I'm sorted?
Also while I'm at it; I'm having a little trouble finding out for sure that I have the right code for swedish. Is there a proper comprehensive list somewhere?

Swedish seems to be 041D.
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/goglobal/default.mspx?OS=Windows Vista

Thanks a bunch, buddy!
And that's with a capital D? The list says lower case, but I put it in the registry with a capital D?

Probably all the same. I put mine with a capital B and when i checked it out after rebooting i remember that the 'b' was in lower case. But as 040B worked with finnish, i suppose that a capital D works with swedish..

What language name seems to be correct for Polish? Polish (Engilsh version) or polski (Polish in Polish)?

I used 'Suomi' for Finnish so i think 'Polski' will work. On the other hand i think that either way (english or polish expression) works. If not, then you just have to reupdate..

I've just updated my phone to Mango. It has Polish language and Polish camera settings (some of the people who updated their phones to Mango with Polish don't have the camera settings - just an empty space). I really would like to thank you, tkay564, for this instruction. You've made my life better

I have a problem...
First... sorry, my English is not very good.
Second, my problem . In build 7008 with MFT I do everthing by manual >
01. Your phone must be in Nodo. (My ver. 7008 or 7392 i think, I tryed both ways)
02. Dial ##634# to start MFG, then use password 277634#*# to enter the app
03. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Setting -> Edit Registry
04. Select ROOT_PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
05. Input SUB_PATH: \MUI\Available
06. Input KEY: 0405
07. Select data type: STRING
08. Input data: Czech
09. Press Set
10. Update to Mango and you'll have your preferred language in your Optimus 7.
0405 (for Czech).
next I update my phone to Mango but nowhere Czech display language. In registrers is still row Czech 0405 but in settings nowhere.
Please, can you give me some help?
I do not need there Czech, English is enough, but I would like to have a system localized. Once again sorry for bad English.

everythink is allright

You can change the display language on settings. Its the first setting under "Region and Language".

I updated my phone to Mango (I did not know about this setting then)
I would love to change the lang to NL but I'm already on Mango.
Is there a way to change the lang afterwards ?

Guys, I have a HTC HD7 with Mango in english. How I install NoDo for add portuguese to my language? I tried download Windows Phone Support Tool 4.7, but Zune is 4.8, and Microsoft doesn't have Microsoft Phone Support 4.8. What can I do? Ah, I tried to use "takesonetomango" but I can't do. My phone doens't found the update. Thank you.

FYI, Today I bought a used device. The previous owner swears he bought it in The Netherlands and the firmware on it also was dutch but it didn't have Dutch as a display language which is a bit odd.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
First I flashed to the Dutch Nodo firmware found in this thread hoping it would give me a Dutch display language, it didn't. Then I updated through the Zune service, yet again it didn't give me Dutch display language.
Then I noticed the second firmware is from 23 SEP 2011 and not 2010, making it newer. The file size also was considerably bigger (350MB vs 170MB), so I decided to take my chances and directly flash that one.
It worked, it gave me all the available languages at once, so no need to manually add them one by one.

Hello,
3 weeks ago I bought a second hand Optimus 7 phone for my 13 year old daughter and I saw that the mango update was already applied by the previous owner, he didn't change the registry before updating. So this phone doesn't have the NL (Belgium) display language.
I found an explanation on this forum to change the registry, so I changed it. I am a little septic to take the risk to downgrade en re-upgrade to have the dutch language on this phone, so I wonder if it would be possible that when I upgrade once the WP 7.8 comes out, the Dutch language also will be downloaded now, seen the fact that I already changed the language code in the phone's registry.
Can someone confirm my thoughts about this because if it would be the case, I will wait until the WP 7.8 update will be available.
My daughter is happy with this phone and she understands most of the menu's but off course she would be much more pleased with a phone in her own native language.
Greetings,
Nic

[Q] Will HTC English RUU File Replace Italian SnapVue

I found a official RUU File for the HTC Shift - I was wondering (before I screw up something) if I could flash the file and replace the italian SnapVue so that I could understand what I was doing. I got the following information off of the SnapVue side of my device:
Version ROM 1.30.408.0 ITA
Data ROM 02/01/08
Version Radio 1.58.21.23
Version Protocollo 25.65.30.04H
I can not put the link to the files, but the Text Below, just remove the spaces and you get the link to the files
RUU File

Thank you for your responses -

I tried to install the RUU, but because mine is a different number- it failed.
Too bad.
