PLEASE HELP!! looking for english ROM

I need help.
I have a new Imate JAM (Docod) from taiwan and it is in japanese or some sort of an asian language.
I need to flash an english rom to be able to work with it.
I know how to flash ROMs, I just need to know if this is possible and where do I get this english ROM.
Thank you very much for your prompt reply, I realy need this assistance.

register here and then you can download the english rom of imate jam
regards
jeetz

Thanks
But can I just flash this ROM with no extra preperation?
Will I just need to run it?
I saw several posts here regarding poeple who are trying to flash from German or other ROM to English ROM with all sort of modifications, operator code and so.
Is it simple as downloading the ROM and run it?
That wasnt the ipression I was getting reading the posts here.
If it is that simple, then Im all relaxed now.
Please relate to that...thank you for your answer.

well the only problem you could run into is COUNTRY ID CODE ERROR and its not a big worry if read the thread below twice or thrice may be more than that and then follow it......i am sure you will figure that out too.... its piece of cake trust me only if you understand it properly.
download the rom and upgrade it...and if you get country code then follow this thread its not a big problem trust me...

i,d say go for the flash !!

upgrading to english language xda mini

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 :--(

English ROM - Newbie

Hi Folks....ive been looking around the forums, and as my knowldge is rather miminual could someone hold my hand?
Ive just bought the tytn II (italian) and i want to change the OS language to English. With my limitated understadning, some of the roms ive seen are bundled with extras, is it posible just to install one section (i.e. the language) or is the language part and parcel of the complete rom?
I dont want to ask 'which is the best?', but could someone suggest a rom that isnt so bundled with extra tweaks?
Also, ive read somewhere that the phones arent locked...si this true or do i need to do a Hard spl like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334678
Thanks inadvance for your help.....im just nervous!!

Take it easy, use your Kaiser for some times and get used to it
meanwhile read all the stickies and search for some answers around this section and the Kaiser section.
Hard SPL is a must and its easy to be done
If you want a www rom; there are many verisons, the Shipped http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332246
or cooked ones, you can use Dutty's Hybird, its stable and fast.
Just take it easy

Thanks Taiseer...
I understand your point about using the phone a few times, but my italian is really bad, so i cant set it up as comprehensively as i would like...
I just thought that i would be better to get the language setup first, before i start to customise the phone

You didn't read and search!
And why didn't you continue the old thread? Oh boy...
Here's what you're looking for! Worked for me.
If it doesn't for you, read it again!
I only used those threads, never had a Treo before, and I own it for 3 days now.
If I can do it, you should be able to do it, too, except you are a retard.

complex problem with wm update

Hello,
i have been reading through this forum for a while and gained a lot of knowledge, thank u!
i am from germany, and i bought my samsung sgh-i780 in the US.
now i want to update my windows mobile to a newer version, but i am having trouble doing so:
the phones ID is: DXHD1
i am using the phone in english language just as i received it. but it seems like the phone has been imported to the US from eastern asia ?? right??
the official samsung page "http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp" doesnt work for me because my code isnt accepted in UK (i dont want a different language other than english or german)
what am i supposed to do now, in order to update my phone to a new wm version?
i read through the forums but i didnt find a fitting answer
sorry for my bad english, im not a native speaker

forget this way!
first get official pdxib1(or how irt is spelled!) using the link provided in previous post!
and then edit it as decribed unter the same link!
i use xvi32 as hexeditor =)
tell me if this leads you to succes!

oh man, i will try this but this surely will take me days because ive never been into those topics but since i really want the new wm i will do my best and report!

so first there are 3 things:
bootloader: starts windowsmobile! (called: eboot)
then operationsystem: windowsmobile(called: pda)
third is phonecomponentfirmware(calledhone)
you have to update these three using a russian rom!(romis a packet including one or all this three sections!)
then you've to get english software code! for this apply e1 rom to your i780! (it flashes pda sektion)
then it should be possible to use official english upgrader obtained by the samsung website!
this updater makes your mobile run dixb1 in phone and pda section (or how this reccomended version is spelled!).
after this you can overide pda section using a dxib1 based rom likeironeagles or dreamtheater39 or heineken ones... =)

second way described is very easy just get two files!
then edit one of them and there you are!( i think it is the seccond that has to be edited!)
official updater by samsung:
PDXIB1-XP
XVI32
what is to edit using xvi32? see middle of this post!
drivers
install xvi32 and the drivers!
then extract the updater with 7zip or winrar!
open biggest .exe with xvi32 and search for "DXIB1"... you will find it two times.
rename it both times to the same!
replace with what?
leaf the ib1 and replace the first two letters with the first two your phone has!

pdxib1 IS malaysian! =) its unbranded version =) its offcial version from samsung not for brandet devices!
i will modify pdxib1 to update my german phone...
dont forget now you can update to cooked wm6.5!
most common bug is artefact when moving courser!
=)
AND DONT FORGET: GPS FIX! use it for every programm! w/o portsplitter!
gps fix
=)

so my current version is official.
"cooked wm6.5" ? what does cooked mean, is it not official?
and what would be the positive effects of installing the 6.5?
(u have a german phone? are u german, too?)

cooked means edititen in a certain view.
so wm 6.1 is official
wm6.5.3 which u can obtain by using those "cooked" roms has a totaly reworked startmenu
it has other slidingpanels(titanium)
it might be faster. rom cookers (the persons building cooked roms) apply patches for stability ;more ram/space/pagepool new themes.
in wm 6.5 theres no real advantage than new startmenu and ne ie6 mobile.
i suppose to give ironeagle or heinekens rom a try and if you dont like it just flash old wm 6.1 back =)
its up to everyone to decide self wheater it is usefull or not.
on my old htc vox i always jused latest wm obtainable becuase of new features speed and stability
but the flexcable broke^^ so i got a new phone as vox is allways damaged somewhere.
and yes i'm german and i've just payed my new i780 =)
so it will arrive maybe around 29/30/31 this month =)

password
hey guys,
big problem!!!
i forgot the screen-lock-password of my phone and now i dont know what to do.
dont want to lose all my data... so a hard reset is not my solution.
do u know a way to obtain my password? should i go to a samsung store?
please help me.. (
