Wm 2005 Esn - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading

Hi there! First post in this forum, and I apologize for my English to start with.
I'm happy to see there are many of us with the same likes!!!
Can anyone inform of where can we find a XDAII (TSM 500) ROM version in Spanish of WM2005. Else, of where can I find a step-by-step manual to change an exisiting rom in another language. If so, I would ovbiously put in ftp for all of us to use/test
Also, I've installed the Buzz last one, with Tomtom 6, but when driving along, map jumps back 50-100 metres every 5-6 seconds. Any ideas??
Thanks

HTC Tytn II Rom Flash

Hello!
After reading and reading the Wiki for flashing the ROM to my Tytn II, I think I am ready. I still have a few questions ...
I have chosen to use the MicroSD card route as that seems easier to me. I just bought my Tytn a couple of days ago so I have the WM6 Professional CE-OS 5.2.1620 Build 18125.0.4.2 ROM version 1.56.413.2 Radio Version 1.27.12.11 running. It is in Swedish and I want the language to be in English. Do I have to downgrade first in order to be able to flash the WWE version ... in effect flashing twice?
Also, when I dowload and rename the ROM image I want, do I put the whole thing on the formated MicroSD card?
I have never synced my phone with my PC so that shouldn't be a problem right?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Scarlet,
Without actually answering any of your questions (sorry...), just a comment: with a Swedish TyTN II you have a Swedish keyboard also, don't you? I'm not 100 percent sure that the WWE ROM supports the Swedish keyboard layout so once you finished flashing you will have to expect issues with this...

Hi Abubasim!
You are correct, my keyboard does have åäö swedish characters. I was thinking I could flash the WWE ROM and then use the Swedish CAB to fix the keyboard mapping ... eller hur?
Jag är inte saker. Förstår du vad jag menar?
Scarlet
Hej Scarlet,
Although I haven't tried it myself, it sounds like worth a try. Check with other Swedes (or Turnips ) in this forum or maybe even other TyTN II owners back home there in Sweden.
Yes, I understand "jag är inte saker", means literally "I am not things" if you skipped the umlaut over the a in saker on purpose (Jag är finsk själv, men med svenskt medborgarskap.)

Good morning!
I have written to a couple of swedes, but no help there ... boooo!
No you caught me, I missed an umlaut ... swedish is my second language, I am originally from sunny southern california .
I think I am going to go for it on my own. I have had this phone burning a whole in my pocket for days and I can't stand it!
Wish me luck!
Yes, good luck to you. Be careful and read the updating threads and the Wiki thoroughly before attempting. I messed up my previous phone, the i-mate JASJAM when attempting ROM flashing by using a microSD card (the phone crashed in the middle of the update and became a brick but luckily I got it repaired under warranty[!]) so I will not try this path with my new TyTN II until I see real benefit worth the risk.
BTW, you have the best profile photo I have seen on this site. Is that you?
I hear you. I gave up on the MicroSD method and am now trying to use the Kaiser CustomRUU to extract and install the nbh file. I think there is something wrong with the NBH file I am trying to you (or i did something wrong ). Either way, I downloaded it and put it in the same folder as the KaiserCustomRUU program but i get a file error once I run the utility?? I am looking for a new file now to try!
Yes, that is me ... thanks for the nice words. I seem to be the only chick around that is way to into technology and cell phones ... I'm always attempting some type of shananigans ....
I sent you a PM by the way!

Re: SD Flash
Personally I'd recommend just using the USB flash method since that's what the vast majority of us use without flaw. The overriding important thing would be to make sure you install HardSPLv1 (available from the stickies in Kaiser Upgrading) to keep from bricking your device should the flash fail for any reason.
As for the keyboard, a cab file, or Schaps Advanced Config v1.1, or a registry edit will work just fine. What you'll end up with after one of those three is your English device with a keyboard that inputs exactly what you see (Swedish characters too).
The one downside to this is the word completion...when you switch the keyboard's language you'll have to also install that languages' dictionary for word completion to work, and in your case that would mean Swedish word completion. Although It may be possible to link the English dictionary? I never tried it myself with the German Hermes I had...
-Q
Thanks so much for the suggestions guys! I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT AND GOT IT GOING!!!! Turns out I didn't unpack the ROM rar file first. I just downloaded and renamed it ... duh! Once i figured out to *unzip* the rar file using WinRAR, then I found the right file, renamed it and used the CustomRUU deal. ROM was changed along with the language in about 10 minutes. I used the CAB file also to fix my keyboard to still give me the right mapping for the swedish keyboard! I have been working on this phone for 2 LOOOONNG days and I finally figured it out.
Now I have to figure out why my internet is not working ... I'm trying to download my one free map from TOMTOM and i'm getting no love! I'll get it ... more reading to do!
Thanks so much for the support ...
Hugs and kisses!

Depending on what ROM you used its likely your settings are not proper for your provider (or do not exist at all). Personally I prefer the latter since all the "automatic" T-Mobile configurations only use the slow APN.
I recommend searching for settings for your provider and inputting them as necessary. Unless you're talking about Wi-Fi in which case you'll probably have to go under connection settings and specify that your network card connects to "The Internet" (it defaults to Work).

Thanks for the tip Quentin! I got the internet going now. My next project is my email ... i used IMAP before with push software, but looks like that is not available. I'm reading .... Are you guys using windows live to have push email functionality or just setting the phone to check every so often?

Having Similar Problems Changing Lang from German to English
Good Evening,
I am New and Not Certain if this is venue to pose a question regarding how and where the Information regarding the Link or ?? Change My Language on my Branded HTC TyTN II (Kaiser 130 ) from German to English. The Telephone is Swiss German and I do Not Read, Speak nor Understand the Language. I was however able to Unlock the Sim in the First Stage and then do a Hard Spl V1 and everything is Excellent. But now I am having a Delima in finding a reference point to change the German to English language. Would you direct me to where I am able to go regarding the Flash Rom in English.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
You may send me an Email at [email protected] regarding the Info.
Have a Happy New Year !!

Sorry, I didn't read all of your post - you've already got HardSPL but I'll leave the info in to helps anyone else if they need it..
Possibly not the correct place to post the question, but it was so politely written I can't resist answering
Most of the roms cooked in this forum are in English language (maybe all of them except some versions of Schaps). For someone new who wants a good stable rom without having to do too many customisations I'd recommend the full versions of Dutty's latest, Schaps 4.30 or Sleuth.
Don't forget to hard SPL before you flash any ROMS and also check which radio will work with which rom here. If you get stuck with HardSPL, DO NOT flash any roms until you get this sorted (rom flashing is easier than HardSPL).
Most importantly, READ, READ and READ again before trying anything until you become more familiar. Start with the WIKI which is the root of all knowledge.
Oh yes, welcome to the forum

Upgrading to WM6.

Hello everyone! First post in here, 3 month owner of a Treo750. I expect to hang around here for a long while, really interesting stuff going on around here. Hope I can learn a trick or two.
I have a Treo 750, unbranded and unlocked I believe. I'm in Costa Rica and all cellphones here are unlocked. I want to upgrade to WM6 and I've read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100 and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade.
I'm just wondering a couple of things before making a move. First I wasn't able to upgrade using the update from the palm support site since the language in my phone is in spanish, (at least that was the error message I got). Here is the info I have from my phone:
Software Version: TREO750-1.16RWS
Hardware Version: A
Serial Number: PRGU08B7H087
Phone Number: my phone number
Firmware Version: 1.27.0b.03
IMEI: *****************
SA NO: 10017102
*If there is any information I shouldn't post just pm me and I'll edit it.
Now, a couple of questions:
-What is the SA No?
-Am I able to update to WM6? If it's in English way better! If so, just follow the instructions in those links?
-What about the info in my cell? I can just copy some docs from work from my SD card to my PC, but what about my contacts? That's something I would rather not have to redo. I know they are synced back automatically but this leads to my other question:
-Could there be any problem if I have WM5 right now, and the next sync happens with WM6?
Thank you very much for this, I've been looking forward for WM6 for some time now. BTW, since I'm not native English speaker, if you find any grammatical or spelling error just let me know, ok?
Helpp to change language
I give my TREO 750v with software 1.12-VFF to a friend of mine because he knows how to update to WM6, and he did, the problem he updated to French WM6, and I dont understand nothing about French, Is there a way to change to English? or I need to install another WM6 upgrade in English, and if so how I do?
I really need your help, and I know I was a dump because of these but I really need step by step guidance on how to solve this matter.
Thanks

Qtek 9000 English ROM

Hello,
I'm new on this forum, and first of all I must say that I am amazed by things I saw.
Now, the question:
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE MY WINDOWS MOBILE ON MY QTEK 9000?
The thing is, I got it as a gift, and considering that its my first WM PDA (I used only symbian and Linux PDAs and never WM for longer period then few days tests).
Now, problem is because it is on French (and I don't know a single word on French) so I need to change it back to English.
I would be really greatfull to you if you could tell me what programs I need to download and install (post a links for them if possible) and which ROM is best.
It is 18 months old so batery isn't very good (I havent tested it yet because I can not operate it on French ) so please take that as a option when you propose me something.
Also, I will use it mostly as a communicator for internet access (GPRS and WiFi) e-mails, chat programs and less for calls and messages so take that as a option too.
All I need is a communicator which can provide me access to my mails and internet and manage to last one day ona one batery charge (I mostly use GPRS, I know that WiFi uses more power)
Once more, THANK YOU and I hope that someone of you will help me to meke this beauty runabe for me.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
And I would recomend THIS rom. Be aware WM 6.x doesn't have a fully working video call though. So if thats your thing then stick to WM 5.0. Otherwise WM 6.0 is streets ahead. One last tip is read the Universal WiKi well first, it saves a ton of questions later.
Have fun
Jay
P.S. welcome to the forum
Thank you all... but I've been reading aboru this bleck edition ROM and I see lot of people are complaining on it (especialy on BT, WiFi and GPRS which is important to me)
So please put me a link to a normal clean ROM (WM5 od WM6 I don't care as long as it is reliable and debugged, manufacturers ROMs also if you have)

German Dictionaries

Hi Guys,
I'm going to be travelling around europe, and I was wondering if any one has tried PPC directionaries???
There are many to choose from. Anyone know which one is the best option?
I use this:
Regards
Thank you .... I will give it a try. At the moment looking at the Beiks phrasebook.
Hi,
Google Translator doesn't work with me..it just doesn't translate. When I had WM6.1 I was very happy with Slovoed (Classic & Oxford) Dictionary but now with WM6.5 the screen is badly formatted so that I can't read well anymore, it's a pity. So if you're using WM6.1 I recommend it...for WM6.5 I hope someone else has an advice, cheers
Edit: my experience was with italian dictionary but,of course, german is available aswell.

I'm about to give up on Treo 750 (Downgrade wm6.1 to 6.0) [RESOLVED]

I fixed my problem doing a Hard Reset and uninstalling the Palm Translator software pt-BR. So, I'm still using 6.1 and I'm very happy with it.
Guys,
I'm in desperate mode on. It has been two days I updated my treo 750 to wm. 6.1 ( Treo750_OS5_2_19199WWE_STD). Everything went just fine. The system is nice and all. A little bit faster than the old 6.0.
But then the nightmare started: My "Notes" and "Task Manager" are there but don't work! I put Network frame 3.5... but nothing happened.
These are the two app I most use! I know there is a lot of other apps but I wanna use these ones that came with the wm.
I have two choices: downgrade to wm 6.0 or fix this issues. I've been without sleep for two days 'cause every procedure I try to downgrade fails! I tried this one ( Treo750_2_27_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater) but it says "you already have a newer version installed". And yes, I tried changing the payloads archive.
I tried Cheetah Unlocker, SD card method but nothing happens, just the three color screen saying serial or usb. It also says:
CHEE100
IPL-0.20
CHEE100
SPL-1.40.OliNex
The info about my phone is:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional (the start screen says 6.1 Professional)
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)
Software Version: TREO750-2.27-RWE
Firmware version: 1.12.0c.00
CC-CAP: GEN-ENG-010
I also tried T750URT but it does nothing but getting my firmware to 1.12.0c.00.
I took the 6.0 rom from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402
Are them really 6.0? I took the "Generic Rest-of-world - English"
Please guys help me. I've been searching over here and other forums and I just can't make it work. I chose this forum to subscribe and post 'cause it looks like the more expert. What am I doing wrong? I got this phone last weekend and I'm pretty new to this HTC world. My first smartphone! I live in Brazil and everything, even my 3G connection was working on the 6.0. This device came from USA 1 year ago and the last owner (my friend) just put the portuguese-br translator and used it.
I think I'm not forgetting any information. Thanks in advance. Going to try to sleep.

I'm using the same rom and the two app. work fine.
After search in the internet I found this link for rom 6.0
http://depositfiles.com/ru/files/1336491
but first check what is wrong with the 6.1 rom ...
One more thing - there are softwares that you can download and do the same job even better...( replace "Notes" and "Task Manager")...
one more link for rom 6
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
My 6.1 ROM is working superbly, +some registry edits to speed it up even more! It's more likely, that something went wrong in the flashing process. Just try again the same 6.1...
Thanks!
Thank you all for your words. You won't believe what happened.
@libal
This morning I was in classroom and I had a crazy idea. I pressed the red button (to end calls) and reset at the same time and erased all the data. Guess what? Everything is working fine! But I sure remember about doing this same reset stuff after upgrading. Anyway, I didn't put the translator to PT-BR yet. I'll try now and if anything goes wrong, I'll just reset it again and leave in English. English wouldn't be a problem to me as you see. I'm thinking about my wife (she's still learning English).
I wanna thank you both 'cause I just gave it a try after reading that you were not having problems with the same phone. Thanks for your time and patience.
@otoinsa
Is this safe? I mean, editing registries to get a faster wm? Can you tell me which mods or just point the link about what you did? Thanks again.
By editing the registry you can customize a lot of stuff (for me replacing left soft key's permanent "e-mail" to SMS was a must. Now under "SMS" I have a submenu containing "e-mail" AND "messaging"), also disable a lot of useless windows mobile features, or enable (power management - longer lasting battery).
To some extent it's completely harmless, just try to avoid experimenting with it too much! There are a lot of instructions on the web, most common keywords used for search are "windows mobile registry hacks" or "pocket pc registry edits". It's best to add the version number (WM 6.1 for example) when searching. Also don't confuse your Treo 750 with Windows Mobile Smartphones - they don't have a touchscreen and those run a different type of Windows Mobile. It's almost the same, however there are some differences...
Most of the older WM regedits will work on 6.1. Also Treo has some Palm-specific registers. Just for starters, here's a link:
http://pocketnow.com/wiki/Windows_Mobile_6.1_Registry_Edits#Power
Wish you luck and hope you'll help to keep the 750 alive in this forum! Post your success afterwards.
I found it!
I found the problem. After doing all the customization and testing all the apps, I installed the translator Pt-BR from Palm's site. Guess what? All the apps I mentioned before stopped working. I did the uninstall process and guess what again? Everything was in English again and most important: working!
So this is the trick: don't use Palm Translator (at least pt-BR) if you are using a non-official wm6.1 rom.
The guy who sold me this Treo has the Treo Pro 850 now. Such a nice device, but 750 was my first pocket pc and I won't forget about that.
Gotta change the post title to resolved lol. But don't lock it yet. Maybe someone else may has a experience to share with us.
