Hi guys
After a few times reading for 3-4h I think I have understood the main things about changing the ROM on o2-Orbit. But I didn't get one thing - is the phone locked (CID) for changing the original rom with a not certified one, or it is locked for every kind of switching.
I'm asking this, because I got my phone in German, and I wonder if I could get an original English o2 ROM and put it on my phone. I think this should not be a problem, eh ? I really do not need any thing more than having a descent English interface, cuz my German is ... Oh my sweet ... i do not know if there is someone less knowing that language
Do u know (if the above is true) where can I get original English o2 rom, and if I do so, is there any HOW TO for doing the switch ?
And please, if my treat is a already discussed one, do not hesitate to erase it from the face of the "mother" forum .
Wish ya very best.
Go to this thread. I just flashed my phone from french to english
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241
the rom is available at the wiki ftp
I had a friend buy me an HD2 from China. The box and everything is in English so he didn't bother to check the rest. When I turned it on, realized that the ROM is chinese. The other strange thing is that when it boots up, it displays XDA-China.com!!
I wrote to HTC asking if there was any way to change the language. They replied that the serial number checks out as a European model and that ROM should've been in English. Someone in China has "illegally" flashed in with Chinese ROM. They asked me to hard reset, which I did but nothing changed.
My question is how were they able to flash this if according to HTC this is indeed an English model?? Is there a way to change it back to English?
I logged on to XDA-China.com but its all Chinese

It was the same like when I bought the Touch HD in Guangzhou, but it was much easier as the HardSPL had already long available. And for your case, I'm getting the HD2 on the 30 Nov in China too, what we can do is just wish HardSPL to be available asap!!!!!! The easier situation for me is I know Chinese, even though I absolutely prefer English, I can stay with Chinese rom for a while. While typing here, I was loading the XDA-China, but very slow.
I will try to advice if I can when I manage to get some info there.
just download the official EU Leo update and update ur phone with it..should get back to the original.
where do I get the Offical EU update?
just go to this website
http://service.htceurope.com/htcdistributor/Default.aspx
use your own SN/IMEI and check your HD2's regional country
and download the appropriate official ROM. flash directly.
Thnaks for the reply. Tried that. When I query my S/N it says, Generic English ROM. EU. I tried the English WWE. Doesn't work. Gives invalid vendor ID at 1% :-(
I got the same problem.
You need to flash with WWE East Europe, Original ROM.
I found that after trying all available WWE ROMs (google it)
Finally I tried WWE East Europe and I did not encounter "ERROR Vender ID", so the flashing went OK
You can find the official WWE ROMs at:

You know where your frnd brought this???
Anyone know where can buy this baby in Guang Zhou?
HELL YEAH.
If you've got a custom chinese ROM on your HD2, then somewhere there is an HardSPL!
...And you've got that HSPL!!
Please dump your bootloader and post it to us!
P.S.: I don't know how to dump it, but if someone knows, please write...

It's only a custom RUU...
There is no HardSPL available. For those Chinese ROM, they just did put some language patches to make it run. WM 6.5 support multiple language in its kernel(including Chinese). Just the way how to turn it on.
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

EDIT :

I dont want to flash with odlin with risk of bricking my phone.
I have had it for few days, maybe later.
Is there any file or application, just to be able to read arabic.
Now the letters are all seperated.
Is there a quick fix without flashing ?
In the above mentioned link I have attached a file in one of my posts, try it will change nothing but adding Arabic fonts, it worked with some and not with others,you can give a try. Its absolutely harmless.
What do you need with :
1. your device must be rooted.
2. Just in case set the fonts to UNICOD.
If your device is not rooted same as mine which is not,you just can't change the fonts, its a system app it needs root access.
I just discovered what rooted means.
My phone is not rooted.
Ok, any other method ?

Hi everybody,
I m thinking about selling my Milestone 2 after 3 years of devotion !
(I d like to get a more powerfull phone... Would love to find one with physical keyboard, but it's very difficult to find one with an azerty version - It's only for US market generally Droid 4, Photon Q... - so i think I will take a Nexus 4 wich have an interesting price.. I talk, I talk, but it's not the point !)
So, to sell it , I d like to put it back in original configuration.
Unfortunately after many flashes, I m today on a BL=4 Firmware (Claro Argentina)
And I d like to put it in french language with an original ROM, but I think thoses Latam ones, don't have these language (I tried somes and it's english / spanish).
Can someone confirm there is no BL=4 Rom with french language ?
If I well understood, I have no chance to downgrade form BL4...
so what are my opprtunities, to get back the phone closer its original configuration with french language ?
Thanks per Advance fior your help

What about modifying an GB SBF from france, deleting everything except the /system partition, and flashing it back?
You can do that with Moto android depacker.
That wouldn't mess up your kernel or your BL, and still have support for french language and azerty keyboard.
Just thinking out loud here.
Good luck.

If it works it's a terrific idea (didn't know it was possible...)
just one question.
I have just to keep CG39 for system.
I can replace all the rest with the French GB SBF, and finally compile my sbf to flsh it.
that's it ?
Thanks a lot

You don't need to flash anything else besides /system, just create a SBF with only that partition from the French sbf.
And yep, I think that's it.
Good luck, remember to keep an unmodified sbf to flash just in case.
using update.zip
is it necesary to create an sbf? can i use a update.zip with /system on it (and nothing else)?
btw you can pick photon q buttons one by one so i got a nice qwertz photon q

Hi , I just tried to do this operation.
There 's something I don't understand. I can't rebuild a sbf , only with CG39.smg with Moto Android Depacker.
So tried to replace the CG39.smg from Claro Latin America version (the BL=4) with the french CG39.smg. and then rebuild a new sbf...
But doesnt see to work, THe phone shows the moto logo and nothing then...
Any Idea ?
did I do something wrong ?
Thanks per advance
Sorry to up (it's not in my habit) but I really need to know if I can put my phone in original config but with french language...
Is there a way to flash a rebuilt sbf with french language knowing I m already in BL=4 (cause I flashed the phone with CLARA LATAM rom)
Thanks per advance.
