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?

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...

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

Solution for hebrew in WM6

i installed TNT's latest rom and Paragon LENg since eyron doesn't work on WM6. (especially not with iGO), what happened is that i couldn't read my sms messages. the solution is to go to settings\system\leng options and mark "Disable interface translation". hebrew works well using that option.
i checked it on 2 more ROMS and it does the job.
hope it helps someone.
to get Paragon's LENg.. you can just search for it in google... i assume i shouldn't post a link here.
good day
(and might i suggest, a thread for solutions which contains ONLY solutions written by people in that manner... "solution for..." would be great for people like me who're pretty much useless.. )

Thanks for your input! had the same issue.

hey nir,
i'm from israel too , u should jump over VIPER forum where all the pro's hanging there.
anyway about Paragon , the issue is that it's eating memory.
like u start u'r Wizard with 29 MB free but when installing paragon on it , u gon have 26 or 25.
to make your wizard with less lags u should change the region ( in the setting of LENG ) to United states, then the calender will he in english and not akward hebrew !
hope i helped !

toda ahim shelo
now i'll check it out
hope is gonna work!!!!

thank you mohen.. but unfortunatly the university sends me meetings in hebrew and i don't have the willpower nor time to change them to english. also, i need my regional settings to be in hebrew..
i tried changing the region but it also requires everything to be in english.

T*Omnia English Translation of menus and Dialogs from Korean..How??

Hello all
A friend of mine is living in Korea will bring me his new T-Omnia next week. The ROM that comes with it is in Korean and he has some trouble navigating though it as everything is in Korean. I tried to find a WWE ROM for the T*Omnia but got nothing.
Question: is there an easy way to translate the menus and dialogs to English.

It won't be that easy. The T*Omnia is sold only in Korea, so no WWE ROM's exist for it. There are software solutions that can translate the menus in russian or bulgarian but I don't think something similar exists for english as it is the default language if WinMobile If course you can try to hack some other translation of WinMobile (bulgarian for example) and apply it to the T*Omnia but there are still 2 issues:
1. No guarantee that such a solution will work with korean ROM. It's intendet to localize WWE ROM's. On the other hand a friend of mine localized a NL Diamond ROM successfully, so it may be worth a shot
2. The T*Omnia has a (still) non-standart resolution. Just look at the HD compatibility list for problematic apps So this is also a possible issue.
Anyway. Here is the link to such a localization program. It supports a number of languages, so it may be of some help to you.
http://sunnysoft.com/software.php?idarticle=146

you could always cook us an english rom- i would love a T*Omnia running english!!!

none of the software in the link seem to have the ability to localize to english
i guess having the ability to simply have the main menus in english is "good enough" untill Samsung releases a WWE version of the rom. if someone can help with that, that would be great.

anybody can help with this?

I second this - I have a sch-m490 could anyone cook an english rom.

Same here, need that rom badly. Anyone please?

BUMP please help with this. Im in korea and i really cant use my phone right now. I couldnt enjoy my omnia. Please please help.

Please guys im so desperate here. Anyone please.

a NEVER-solved-problem: SMS encoding/decoding or character set

Hi,
This is a great great problem in my country without a solution yet:
Turkish characters are not shown in the recieved SMSs. Instead of them only a space there.
For example:
written by another phone and sent to android: "yoğurt yiyorum şu anda"
the recieved message: "yo urt yiyorum u anda"
The phones which are bought from Turkey and not flashed a custom rom don't have this problem.
They (actually, all the phones those are sold here, in Turkey) have an expression on their boxes: “This device is in accordance with ETSI TS 123.038 V8.0.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) and ETSI TS 123.040 V8.1.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) technical features that include all the Turkish characters.”
I think, the custom ROMs are not in accordance with these standards.
I have two android phones at the moment: a Galaxy Spica i5700 (bought from Turkey), and a Nexus S (which I bought from US).
Spica had the Turkish characters first. But I have rooted and flashed the phone, so lost the characters. Since I don't have the original ROM, I can not get them back...
Until here, I tried to describe the problem.
Now I will give what I have that can help to solve the problem:
1- ETSI links: They are not the exact versions but the closest that I could find.
ETSI TS 123 038 V8.3.0
ETSI TS 123 040 V9.2.0
2- An Original Turkish ROM: it's for Galaxy S i9000
http://www.multiupload.com/ZCLE3EOPWH (it's a PIT file)
It will be a great favor if anyone can solve this problem...
Thanks in advance,
Erkam

I think you are possibly doing this in the wrong area. I think that if you want traction with a change like this, that you would need to do one of three things.
1) Contact maintainers or on the boards of a ROM you like to use (Cyanogen, etc)
2) Try to get it noticed by Google on their official Bug Tracker and Feature Request Tracker for support in stock Android OS
3) Code the fix yourself, Cyanogen source and "AOSP" stock android are available, and introducing character-set capabilities into the messaging app aren't exactly trivial things, however, with time and dedication I am sure it is possible.
I agree that foreign character coding out of stock Android isn't always there, or if it is, it isn't universal across all of the stock applications (like your example of SMS/Messaging application). Does this do this also in GoogleVoice? Or maybe you don't have access to Google Voice since you are outside of the US.

First, I want to thank you a lot for spending your time to answer
I tried your second advice but did not get a solution, yet. Still waiting.
I wanted to try the 3rd one too, actually. But I need to gain more computer/coding skills to achieve that. I could not even find an understandable guide to learn (or maybe I am too noob to understand).
So, the remaining advice is the first one and I am going to take it immediately
As you said, since I am outside of the US, I do not have access to Google Voice, unfortunately.
But, if it is ok for you, I can send a message to your google voice to check it.
by the way, ofcourse, it is not only a problem of Turkey, but also Spain, France etc.. I could not find a solution in their forums, neither.
Thanks again, for your help.

Guy from SWEDEN need some help reguarding auto correction

Hey guys! I finally got my HTC chacha!
The only problem I have is that I have a standard EU model. So I can't choose Swedish as the phones main language. But I can live with that, that's no problem. The problem is that I wanna use HTC chacha's built in auto correction for when your writing mails and texts, but as you all can tell, it only corrects in english So, what can I do? I just want my Chacha to be able to correct in swedish instead of english. It would be good if the whole phone was in swedish of course, but just the auto correction would be good enoug..
CAN I install a nordic rom instead? If yes, which one is safe to use? I don't wanna pick a random android rom that works in sweden that would screw up my chacha. So a ROM for chacha that are aimed for nordic use would be great.
Please help a brother out!
Love n respect!
