Hi all,
I have just bought an XDA-neo from O2 , but a german version. Can someone tell me what i need to do to convert it into an english version. I have been told by O2 that this is not possible as i will loose alot the functionality (the Wifi, bluetooth, etc).
If it is possible to change can you please let me know how and where to get the software. As working withthe german version is being a nightmare.
I have even need to install a german version of Outlook as so that i can perform a backup of my data.
Thansk for your help
Welcome to the forum.
All you need to know is here.
Any WWE (World Wide English) ROM will do (for your device of course).
The O2 people are lying to you because they don't want you messing with the device.
As long as you change to a tested ROM there should be no problems with WiFi BT etc.
But be careful!
Make sure all your data is backed up, your device is fully charged and that you read and understood the instructions fully before beginning.
Interrupted or incorrect ROM update will render your device unusable (brick)!
P.S.
This thread was posted twice please delete the redundant copy.
Also it is highly recommended to check the WiKi an search the forum before posting.

Hi guys.
I did it... i screwed up my QTek S100! I tried to upgrade it, maybe the wrong files, dunno... now it is *dead* ! I only get a dark screen with "SERIAL V1.00" or "USB V1.00" if docked (should be bootloader mode). Nothing else.
Would you please be so kind as to help me in recovering from the disaster ? I do not have any backup, nor ROMs. I own a 512 MMC.
I would need English Roms... pleeeese !!
Thanks a lot.

Do you still have the files you used to upgrade? What's the name of the file?
Also, leave the info on your previous ROM.
I had the same problem with my Qtek S100 when upgrading it with the new firmware. The upgrade process stopped/crashed the first time leaving my unit in the same state you're describing. But, what I did was simply to run the upgrade utility again and then it worked fine the second time.
I don't know where you're from but if you have a swedish unit like me you can get the latest upgrade utlity from this adress:

Here is my previous (and gone) configuration. It's hard to believe I can't re-flash it again. English ROM is my best wish...
I wish you could help me...
Oh! I have tried all "QTEK ROM WORKS" recent methods. I always get that Country Code Error and I do not saved the previous GetDeviceData output.

Looks like the same happened to me. Try to open battery cover (or remove battery for several second. Then put everything back and push Power button. Does it turns on (with hard reset)?
Nope buddy! The OS is gone! Whatever I try to do, it always starts in Bootloader mode (Serial V1.00/USB V1.00).
Try removing the battery for 30 minutes (or whatever time it takes for the backup battery to discharge). That should recover your previous configuration although I haven't tested it.
Thanks for your reply, macrinus, but, exactly, how do you believe the 'vanishing' OS is supposed to reapper ?
We must be talking about spiritism in here...

Backup ROM
Is there a way to make a backup of my rom?
I have the qtek s100 with english rom.
Purchased seperate.
rom 1.03.00 WWE
radio 1.05.00 (upgraded)
extrom 1.03.100 WWE
Had the same issue with my radio version upgrade.
Scared the hell out of me ...
Backlight did not lit up ...
And an error apeared on my pc ...
But I was able to upload it when I tried again and the sync program of ms was killed.
If anyone knows how to make a working back-up ...
I like to help.
Think it's interesting to see how everything works.
And ofcourse, if you worked it out already, let me know how ...
And what macrinus said wont work.
When you do a hard reset, you do exactly the same.
So I think it's all gone.
why not dump the os to sd card, ntrw to pc and then put the nb1 fille in the ftp........
Tell me how ...
Tell me how, and I will ...
Sounds like chinese to me buddy.
Just got this pocket pc for 3 days.
First time I use a ppc.
Is that with xbackup?
Then choose all data?
Or do you mean another way?
What is ntrw?
And how do I get it from the backup?
And also, how is he suposed to upload it to his ppc?
Am asking this all to get to know it for myself.
Need the basic information before I can actually do all this ...
ok, sorry, if you are new to this forum, maybe its time now to browse this forum using the "Search" . There are hundreds or maybe thousands really good topics / advices available in this forum, posted by experts.
I and hundreds others I think, have really learn a lot from this forum.
On this specific topic you can search for :
- dump rom
- bootloader / bootloading.
You can also go to this forums ftp : ftp://xda:[email protected]/
to download all the necessary files
pls be patient and enjoy the tour......
Hi,
I am going to buy the HTC Kaiser in a couple of days.
unfortunately, the original rom supplied with this device in our country has the GPS modul Disabled, since the GPS is illegal, and therefore it cannot function even after installing drivers, since i have searched through different forums.
Therefore, i found a solution stating that changing the supplied rom would do the fix, and some people managed to get it working doing so.
The ROM supplied with the HTC Kaiser is the Arabic version, which is very rare to find on the internet.
So how can i get the current rom of the device before i do hardspl and start flashing my device with the available ROMs.
since if anything wrong happens i can take it and fix it using the warrenty.
Thnx a lot for the cooperation.
Perhaps this is what you're looking for? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
i checked it out, but unfortunately, it is to complecated for me, and i guess for several other newbees. is there a much more simpler way? or in other words, a more simpler way that takes every issue, step by step to backup everything, so that when i take it to the dealer, they would not know that i reflashed the device. thnx for the cooperation.
Orginal Room!!
Hi there!
I'm looking for the following rom:
Rom ver. 1.81.415.4WWE
Protocol Ver: 22.51.88.13H
pls help
Sorry guys & gals. New to this but cannot get a handle on the right thing to do. Can anybody help? Yes have read the basics but its not basic to me I am afraid.
I have got an HTC TYTNII from Orange. Need to unlock the sim card lock. Then would like to clear out all the Orange rubbish with a rom flash I think its called (havent got all the words right just yet). However as I paid a few quid forthe phone do not really wish to stew it!! If you know what I mean Harry! Cannot find hardspl etc on so on have ativesync fitted and running. All help greatly appreciated.
This webpage has a ton of files that have been extremely helpful to me so far...
http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/
dont really know how to help
but
if you want to use hardspl is on the sticky thread
activesync can be downloaded from ms depending on the os you are using.
if you want more help tell me what you need and i will guide you
satiros
Lots of reading
I suggest you do lots more reading.
However, as a starter, go to :
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Pay for the unlocking service.
Then, and only then, install HardSPL
Following that, you can install any ROM you like (for Kaiser / TYTN II)
If you install a ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1, chances are you will have to install a new Radio coding too. You should install the one for UK Vodaphone on :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Don't worry, it works on Orange, I have it on mine.
I recommend the Alex ROM even though it is still a Beta version, it is very good.
After you install the ROM and done a hard reset (keep both soft buttons pressed down whilst pressing the reset button with your stylus) install the radio, then do another hard reset.
Bingo, it's like a different phone.
Thanks for the info have carried out the first bit awaiting reply. Where can I download HardSPL please? Having looked at your recommended ROMs Which one?.. wow some cooking I can see I will be Flashing all day!!

if you cannot look & find it right there in one of the sticky threads of this forum ... I'd suggest you do not attempt any flashing to your device !!!
as some of those stickies contained mandatory informations that you need to READ THOROUGHLY !!!
Im just a newbie and I really dont know anything to begin with, flashing and stuff, why did the developers of XDA did not make the upgrade easy? Im tired of using win mobile 2003? why did the developers of win mobile 6 make it easy, now the problem I really don't know how to start? the procedures are to technical and to risky? I really dont know? can anyone help?
Because new rom designed only for experienced users.
you should look into official rom at first and understand basic Windows Mobile stuffs and features.
great answer.
But you are right. The instructions are basically simple and as easy as possible.
If someone says "does not work" without precise information at which point of the instructions he is stuck he is basically too lazy to check things out on his own.

that´s why i bought a second device. first device for testing and a second device for everyday using.
Hi i have successfully upgrade my German O2 XDA Mini direckt from German Orginal Rom with Radio 1.12 to Cotullas 6.1 Rom.
It was a Little Bit Tricky.
When i connect the XDA in Bootloader-Mode and start the Upgrade the Toll does not find the Version on my Device. But Serial connection work fine. In the describtion was wrote that the Device must beconnectet by Serial-Bootloader and Active Sync in same Time. But my Active-Sync want not Sync in Bootloader-Modus.
OK get off Bootloader-Mode and Sync my Device, .... start Flash Tool again, .... now the Tool list my correckt Softwareversion and list Cotullas Version as Update, ... when i klick Upgrade he turns the Magician Automatik into Bootloader mode and want Start Flashing. But at the beginning i became a issue that the FW was not made 4 my Device and Upgrade was not possible.
After that i repressed the upgrade button, ... he doesnt list my Softwareversion but lists Cotullas at this time, ... Magicia is still in Loader-Mode. I press Flash, ... wait 20min and everything is Fine.
Now i have the English Cotulla Rom without Flashing anything bevore.
Here only the Steps:
1. Connect Device normal(not Bootloader) and Try upgrade. It Stop with a message that the Firmware is not for these Device.
2. Just retry, upgrade, it does not list the current SW Version, but just Flash, it will work.
And, .... sry i have to say that, ... Cotulla i Love You!!!!!
hi everyone,
iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.
Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.
many thanks.
Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.
Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.
Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.
Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.
thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????
like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it
Many thanks.
I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?
Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.
Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime
Firstly - slow down!
Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.
From what you have written:
You have read some stuff
You have flashed some stuff
it hasnt worked as you expected
you asked for help on here
you may have flashed some more stuff
you may or may not have a problem still.
No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.
Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)
Reset, note the rom & radio versions.
See what works & what doesnt.
Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.
Oh, welcome to the forums.
