hi! i have an xda mini with windows mobile 2003 in german. but i need it in english! can somebody explain me how i can flah or install another language?!? unfortunately i have no idea and never something to do with xda's so i need a good description! maybe a hint to a howTo. i have an usc cable, is it enough to flash the xda?
thank you very very much! i will be veryyyyy thankful for an answer!
pls, pls, pls follow the threads about 'TMO official 1.13 ROM' or 'upgrade to radio 1.13'.
The 1.13 TMO is WWE, Means English, and requires flashing . You'll need the maugradeut_noid.exe too, as you're changing the language.
Hope this helps, cause I don't feel happy posting the whole procedure again. It's well described in those threads & there's the sticky topic on rom upgrading too.
Cheers, M
))) ok i will try thanks
it is an O2 xda mini! does it matter??
As long as it is a magician you can use the TMO-rom. Keep your O2 original ext-rom at a save place though, you might need it for some specific settings. When you skip the TMO branding you got a plain 1.13 installation. I recommend the camera patch & BT patch though as a minimum, they're not branded.
Have fun
well i just tried it with this one:
MA_TMUK_11300_128_11200_SHIP.exe
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_com.html
and i get an error, which rom can i use???
Did you unzip it first? You'll need to unzip this one & put the maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same folder. Then execute the maupgradeut_noid.exe instead of the maupgrade.exe. Might be you need to run it twice, don't know why. Editting the RUU.conf helps too I read here.
Edit ruu.conf with notepad add on top [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
Cheers, M
ps this can all be found in the 'official tmo 1.13...' thread
is there also an O2 rom???
Don't know there are a lot of unspecified shipped roms on the ftp, maybe you can find out with a hex-editor which brand they are.
When you reload the current ext-rom there shouldn't be a problem for O2 settings though .
Cheers, M

I have an XDA Mini and I used the english ROM. You have to use the "noid" version of the ROM updater. Search the forum for instructions. The error you got was country code, correct?
As I wrote in the first reply :--(
hey All !
Its my first post in this forum. I am an student of electrical Engineering in Germany. I just got an XDA neo(WM 5) with my O2 connnection but its all in german. Is there any way to convert it into english or I have to upgrade the ROM. I am new in this PDA world but being an engineering major i would like to delve into technicalities and contributing (later on). Kindly guide me.
Welcome. Start reading wikis and threads. Too many newbies posting questions that are answered 1000th time... READ stickies. READ topics with pages and pages long. Takes a while to read and understand, dont rush into things. do some research. There are risks, take them when you feel comfortible.
Short answer to your question is YES you can get English roms for your device.
To be specific...
The statement above is definitely right, but the answer doesn't match the question....
To be specific: No, you can't change the language without flashing the ROM.
the FAQ says that in order to backup ROM I should have an Unlocked CID. First of all how to check my CID is locked or not? If my CID is locked can I still backup my ROM.I have a G4.
ipl 2.15.0001
spl 2.15.0001
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.15.4.29
rom version 2.15.4.29 GER
Use the roms with NoVender ID checks just to be safe. You can always try a country specific rom and see if you get the error (something like not intended for this device type error). Not a big deal, as long as you stay with G4 roms and make sure you follow each rom's instruction carefully.
Hi, I'm new in all this. Recently I get one MDA Compact (Magician). It all works but I have one problem. It's Germany version, and I don't know German so I want to switch it on English. Can somebody tell me how can I do this exactly (some links, guide, which programs I need to use), because I'm new in all this and I don't want to brake my gift I read some tutorials but I didn't get it all and I'm scared that I will burn ROM.
Version of softver which is in my magician is:
R 1.12.00
G 1337.42
D 1.13.01 GER
Thanks!
Sorry on my english!
Hi,
The best solution for You is using .exe files provided by operators like T-mobile (Germany) or Era (Poland). These ROM versions are usually WWE (World Wide English - Edition) and can be found on operator web pages usually as "support".
Here You go:
https://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/media/download/MA_TMNL_11300_132_11200_Ship.exe
This is English version that I use (quite nice)
G 1.13 R 1.12
Just download this exe and follow the instructions after executing this file.
See Y
This is the new question I want to ask. (13 Aug 4.37pm London)
As mentioned in the Wizzard-wiki, there is no free way to unlock G4.
BUT !!!!! today, I just did an update (look at my signature). First of all flash the Radio and ExtRom. Then use aWizzard, enable Rapi (e),
UNLOCK CID (u) and last write new OS (w).
In the Unlock CID phase, I finally get something like "your device is successfully CID unlocked" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does this mean that my G4 is unlocked and is it the same as we pay 20 pounds to use IMEI number to lock the CID (as mentioned in wiki)??????????????????????????????
The following is the original post.
I am using a CID locked O2 XDA Mini S. It took me about 6 minute to upgrade to TNT4.0, but after that the device rebooted. And then the old wm5 shows up...... (2.21.4.1)
what's going on here?????????????
Please read the wiki before you ask questions.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Maybe sorry for this naive question.
But I have been reading the wiki many times. Being a foreigner, I don't quite understand many terms and abbreviations in the wiki. After reading the describtion from the TNT 4.0, i know that it is safe to flash it to my O2 MiniS.
But I still don't know why it doesn't work. Here i want to ask 2 questions.
I have read the "how to flash ANY rom to a CID Locked device". 1 question I want to ask is that Any rom includes a rom like TNT4.0, right? I.E. I can flash TNT to my CID locked O2 MiniS, right?
2nd question is that, I noticed that many posts mentioned that they will need an official rom as the base. Where can I find any Official roms for the MiniS. are the following 3 the ONLY OFFICIAL roms for O2 Mini S? I apprecaite any help. Thank you.

You need to use the shell tool to flash to a G4 CID locked device - follow the instructions.

Does that mean that I can flash any rom to use the shell tool, like I can flash TNT4.0 or Faria etc. ?
The answer to EVERY Question and problem you are having is:
Unlock CID your device!
For Crist sake!
You CAN NOOOOOOOOOT put any rom in your device until you have done that, and no matter whatever anyone else says , just do it, and your problems will go away...
Some poeple just dont do what the instructions tell you to do, and then fill the forum with repeated issues...

Man, you scaried me. But there is a post saying that I can flash any rom without CID Unlock, right? Just don't have money to do the cid unlock.
dleeming is right.
According to your signature you have got a G4 model. Follow the instructions in the stickies about upgrade of a G4 model.....

Understand.
I just want to make sure that in theory I can flash to any roms according to thread "how to flash any rom with a cid locked"
As most of these ROM do not incl. IPL/SPL or the radio you may want to check whether your IPL/SPL and radio version work with the respective ROMs first.
If I remember correctly they require 2.x or higher IPL/SPL. But, check for yourself.
BTW what kind of Chinese support you are referring to?
The best I've used for Chinese support is CE-star specially made for WM6 release from the ppda forums. Penpower works like the transcriber for Chinese.
Monster Chinese, I have never gotten to work correctly. You can't uninstall it too.

Thanks mate. Now I've got my new signature. I can show this off to myself now hahahahaha
I forgot the name of the forum, but you can do a search on Leies edition of CE-star.
Idealy, I want to use the English OS system but with full Chinese support. e.g. I can install Chinese software, browse Chinese web-site etc.
But just now, I flashed a Chinese OS system. Quit happy with it now, though maybe later I will try to find a way to fullfill my ideal system above.

If you don't need to enter Chinese characters but just have your Wizard to show them, the easiest way would be to install a cab with the Chinese font set.
The cab is somewhere here on the forum...

Are you sure? I think this thing works similar as PC. Not only we need the font, but the encoding thing (like uni-code or something). Personally, I don't think your suggestion will work. If you find such thread, please do show it to me. It will be highly appreciated
Cheers
I am using it that way. Haven't check Chinese websites but chinese SMS and the menu of the SIM card are shown in HanZi.
check for the fontpatch.cab

Hi everybody!!
glad to be there...I bought a P4550 today (i'm happy happy happy), and want to change rom
My phone is originally sim-unlock (original HTC?) but I don't know if it's SPL-unlock...
I've tried the HardSPLv1 but stay stuck on a grey activesync icon after unplug-plug operation...not so cool...read somewhere from a guy that you can continue the processus. Right?
Some informations:
Bootloader:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Elements:
ROM version : 1.56.406.5
Date ROM : 08/30/07
Radio version : 1.27.12.17
Protocol version : 22.45.88.07W
WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5
So, do I need to HardSPL it?? or can I directly flash the Rom???
Thanks in advance for any information!!!!
again, I'm happy
arno
HardSPL
You most certainly want to HardSPL your device. It's the best invention since sliced bread.
I suggest running HardSPL and then finding a ROM here you'd like and go to town that way. You can seriously spend weeks reading all the posts to find relevant information--use google to search these forums, it yields far better results than the built in one.
FYI on google if you sarch for "Kaiser HardSPL" you'll get results for all kinds of websites...including those that archive old postings here. A quick fix for searches if you're like me and have a Google Search bar in Firefox is to add "site:xda-developers.com" to your search (e.g. "Kaiser HardSPL site:xda-developers.com").
Check this link for more detailed searches using Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
I can almost guarantee that any question you can come up with in the first few weeks of owning/beginning to flash your device that there's no question you can ask that has not already been asked/answered (including this one I'm responding to).
Cheers,
-Q
hi everybody, i have a problem with my kaiser 8925 that after i used for 2 days ,everything was working good ,but a notice that my external memory got stoke and when i pullet out my phone not recognize any storage memory please help me and let me know what i have to do.
Thanks Quentin- for your fast reply!!
Before I posted this thread, I've readen a lot of infos and I can't find an appropriate answer.
Almost all persons who use the HardSPL have an ATT phone, or other, and have sim-lock. That's not my case.
And can't find the direction when you're stuck on a grey icon after unplug/plug. This problem happens on Vista...But I'm on WinXP...I'm confused...
Hope there's someone here who had same problem...
Thanks again for all this beautifull work on xda-dev
arno
For Kanky1
Please, start a new thread...we don't have same troubles...
EDIT...
Welcome OliPof...
I think I was little anxious for no reason...HardSPL ran like a charm...
Sorry for this useless thread...
