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 :--(

Clarification of ROM Upgrading

Hi,
I am expecting my German XDA in the mail in the next few days.
I have been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and have tried to wade through all the great advice to educate myself on ROM upgrading issues. I would like to clarify that I understand this properly.
As I understand, in order to render my new XDA "O2-free" and customizable, not to mention english, I need to install a new ROM - probably the latest Imate ROM or maybe the PDAMobiz ROM.
Before I do this, should I Unlock the CID? From my reding, this will allow me to the install any ROM.
Is this an accurate understanding of everything involved?
Are there other better options to achieve my goal of a non-branded non-operator specific Jamin/Neo?
Is there a way to save my original German O2 ROM if it became necessary to return the unit for service?
I hope people do not object to thsi post. I know that it can be irritating when newbies post on topics which have already been discussed thoroughly. I have spent at least 2 weeks trying to educate myself on the procedures, and really would just like if some knowledgeable contributor could reassure me that I have not missed something obviuos.
Thanks,
Ronan

I'm still updating the page, but its working fine for my dutch s200 (now english dopod rom)

Hi,
I tried to follow the steps as outlined, but when I get to teh first soft reset, the device locks, and I can do nothing with it!
Please tell me how to fix it. Can I use bootloader?
How?
Thanks,
Ronan

Crisis averted!
Got into bootloader and installed the dopod rom.
Ro

Dear Ro,
have you upgrated your PDA?
Can you write your procedure?
Best regards
Daniele

please, read this topic and tell me what you think about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54878

I entered bootloader then used the Dopod ROM with the modified romupdateutility.
I have not tried anything else.
Does anyone know of a solution for us SPL 2.15.0001 users? We seem to be very restricted in options.
Ro

Please, can you write the links where it is possible to download this rom and all the necessary files?

Thanks dears,
I have updated it with Dopod rom......but now....how can I update to I-mate JAMin (italian) rom?
Does someone have an Idea to how do it?
Thanks, thanks, thanks
Daniele

Yes, you have to go to ftp.clubimate.com there you can find the JAMin ROM's and also you can choose the language you want.
As you know, first, you must CID unlock, then you can download your favorite ROM. Tell us your opinon after install it.

[Solve] HardSPL or not???

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

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,

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

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...

[mods plz delete] WM 6.1 english for htc s710 (india) ?

hi
can anyone tell me where to get the 6.1 update for htc s710 in india? i registered with htc india but no updates show-up.
to tell the truth ... i'm not comfortable installing a 'cooked' rom posted by dr. gonzo rom coz its first time got a windows device so if i screw the flashing theres no way i can get the original software back
thanks in advance
==================================================
IRRELEVENT POST - NO OFFICIAL WM6.1 FOR VOX

Dude, don't worry the Read me that comes with the Dr.Gonzo's ROM is self explanatory... And Dear, when i tried it for first time, I screwed my VOX too...But then a little patience and VOX wiki..I am up there with my VOX on WM 6.1..ANd now you can see my Signature, i love trying beta ROMsss.. Just in case anything happen to ur phone, give me a buzz at [email protected] may be i can be of some instant help to u... And i bet my life...Senior members on this forum are always ready to help ppl like us...So go ahead and try it..
Thanks to All ppl of this wonderful forum
Loku

there is no official WM6.1 ROM update for S710 ANYWHERE.
you can try the WM6.1 ROM by Dr.Gonzo, it is very good. It does have some minor glitches but a new user like you won't notice it for a while.
and yes this forum will help you if anything goes wrong, but before you do anything please read the wiki completely and when flashing follow ALL instruction(every single line) carefully. ALL!
You would like the WM6.1 rom.
and one more thing....
download the official 1.34 ROM also(its on the FTP),
then in case you screw it up while flashing, you will have the original ROM to fall back on.

thanks lokesh, prajith.
can u give me a link tot he original HTC S710 rom (1.34) u were telling me about?
thanks guys

Upadte HTC S710 with WM 6.1
Hi all, I recently bought HTC s710 and I love there are some queries see if anyone can guide me :
1. If I flash my device with WM 6.1 can i get the original OS by hard reset?
2. If I flash the device will i lose my warranty which is one year ?
3. If i spoil my device is there a way to restore original OS so that repair people do not come to know that I have flashed my device.
Thank you

1). If you flash WM6.1 or ANY ROM, you can not restore to the original ROM by hard reset. You will need to re-flash it.
2). Technically, yes you will lose warranty, however...
3). Patched USPL can be used so you can always restore the original factory/OEM ROM and still use your warranty should you have any hardware issues.
In short, I would not hesitate to flash WM6.1 due to those questions you have. The first thing I did when I got my S710 was flash a patched SPL and unofficial ROM.

h4waii has explained it beautifully.
now please read the wiki! all roms are there.
p.s. is my signature invisible

Yes, it is to all people that are new, it's a fact, they ask before they read, I am getting sick of it. The same questions every day!

XDA should force a reply to each sticky'd Wiki before posting rights are granted, until then only read should be applied to the account. Perhaps I will bring it up with a mod.

excellent idea h4waii!
Mods please do this.
make reply to wiki compulsory before posting.
Atleast ppl will visit there once

I don't think it's that easy to integrate that into vBulletin! lol

It's possible, the C4 forums have it in place on vBulliten 3.7.1, but I am sure they require it more than XDA does.
It would be better to require a certain amount of posts before you can start a new thread. Meh. I don't think it's that much of an issue anyways. I am sure if it was, something would be in place already.

Update error
I downloaded Dr.Gonzo's Monalise v1.0 and finished all the steps in the how-to and Readme. During the final Flash.exe, it is saying ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR. The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.

Read the wiki, you have to flash your USPL

Official Rom For Mda Vario Iii Ger T-mobile

Hello to everybody,
anybody has got an official version of this rom or know a place to download it? I think a WWE version of that can be fine.
Thanks

Yep that's right. Not only that T-Mobile didn't yet release 6.1 for the Vario III, they don't even provide any kind of an update for the old 6.0
Acoording to their regulations of course, you wouldn't need this ROM since you're not supposed to replace it anyway...

T-Mobile vario 3 official rom
Can't use the reconstructed cause my hard-spl had a bad installation and my kaiser stucks in the boot mode , so only an original rom that doesn't check for country and vendor IDs can save me.
I don't need an update , but just any version installable on this device to let me install in the right way hard-spl.
In my Diamond the hard-spl installation was fine , I was unlucky with the kaiser , mtty commands can't help me , just proved.

The version you need doesn't exist...
edit: What's on the phone now? The normal SPL? But a cooked ROM??!!
Since that's impossible to my knowledge I assume that you are stuck in Bootloader with the normal SPL and the official ROM is still flashed but doesn't boot. If that's the case you might hypothetically (I'm not suggesting you do ;-) )try taking it to a T-Mobile store and tell them it just stopped working.

maybe you´ll find help in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371154
or you can pm one of the masters...

Unfortunately I'm from Italy and there' re no T-mobile sellers in my country.
Normally I should not use that phone , taken from ebay at very cheap price.
I must be patient and wait for an update from tmo for the vario III ...
thanks to everybody
