Hi all,
I have an O2 Mini and now I'd like to pass it to my dad. However, I must change its ROM from english to chinese beforehands.
I tried to do a search here before asking, but most of them indicated only changing from other langauges to english but not the way I needed.
Can anyone please tell me how it can be done in detail (like step by step) as I'm not quite an IT guy.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin
U can download the O2 mini chinese rom in xda ftp, and run romupdate with no pain.
not possible. My friend tried to flash a Chinese Mini O2 with an English ROM (with NoID upgrade utility), yet it fails.
I don't know why...
Anyone have a better idea how to flash different language?
How does it fail specifically? Does the flasher report an error on the computer or does the Mini fail to start, or such?
basically, it just did not start. error with country code not found or something like that" any idea is appreciated.
thanks
You mentioned using the NoID upgrade utility. You did try it at least three times in sucession, right? The NoID supposedly only kicks in after the second or third attempt to upgrade.

Hi, i'm requesting for a chinese rom image for the kaiser, it can be either simplified or, traditional. Thanks in advance!!!!! I think i saw some people having problems with rom's extraction or what not, i'm a bit confused as to what they were talking about but i don't wanna brick my device since i moved from 8125, to Hermes, now to Kaiser........and been successful, i've already flash one of my kaiser to original rom, but i just got another Kaiser and i need to make is have chinese on there for a friend, Please someone help me,
Thanks!
Jason
P.S. I really enjoy reading the great posts here.
Me too, I flashed my Kaiser from Traditional Chinese to English, and it is now working perfectly. However, I do want to have a Chinese, hopefully Traditional Chinese, ROM "backup" so that I can flash my Kaiser back to Chinese before I take it back to HTC for repair.
Please do share with us.
So I'm guessing that there isn't anyone here with a version of any Chinese ROM for the Kaiser...........could this possibly be true????? any help please!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!? THANKS
I have the 1010 version and I am trying to figure out how to dump the rom out since I want to flash mine to English. Will post it once I have it dump out.

bokingwen, thanks for the info, but ultimate posted the dump rom in July, I am afraid it is qute a old version. I bought my Kaiser/TyTN II in Hong Kong in mid October, it is a standard unlocked TyTN II with Traditional Chinese ROM. A few days later, I dumped the ROM, and flashed it with HTC standard English ROM. It is working fine for me now.
However, I need to get my ROM dump into an executable image so that I can restore my TyTN Ii if I need to take it back to HTC for repair. Do you , or someone out there, knows how to do it. I followed the instructions in the other thread in this forum to revert the ROM but with no luck. Since then, I gave up, and wait for someone kind enough to post the file in the forum.
If you guys need a original HTC Traditional Chinese ROM Dump, I uploaded to Rapidshare. Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/66749161/Kaiser_Original_Chinese_ROM.rar
If you happen to make it an executable image, please do share with us. Thanks.

Hello,
With my understanding. No one successful make a working Chinese raw ROM back to flashable ROM. Since the ROM has some problem.
I have one rebuild by imgfs tools 2.1rc2. But it lost almost all HTC customization except HTC home. It may caused by imgfstools shrink the storage rom or other reason. It is unknown now.
I am planning to fix the ROM but searching for hint here.

Hi kfluk, thanks for your advise. I keep reading your conversation between you and austinsync in the other thread, I know you have been working hard on this topic. You are the expert among all of us, in term of Chinese ROM. Please do update us if you come up something. Appreciate your hard work!
Good info I guess I can save my time on working on the rom, looks like it is not going to work. I was going to flash mine to English ROM too.
I'm confused as to what you guys are talking about...I'm currently downloading the two ROM DUMPS, and so they aren't executables i suppose, so......are they tested as working ones, or there are a few errors in them?????
Like, what can i do...except the SPL thing to install the rom........are u guys saying that there is no way currently (as of right now) to flash a Kaiser to Chinese Rom easily?
As i understand is that, we have the files of the ROM, but we can't create the EXE to make it run and put the ROM in?
Jason T
I think the current status of Chinese ROM are:
1. You are dump the ROM from the Chinese version of Kaiser/TyTn II.
2. However no one is able to turn these dumped ROM to a flashable ROM.
3. You are right there is no way to flash a Chinese ROM back to the Kaiser, yet?
Correct me if I am wrong.

Dave
by BRUSH i think he meant he upgrading the rom.
weakass chinese - english translation software is to blame.
brush means flash,
if i'm guessing right, he followed the guide on XDA forum to flash his kaiser with the hardspl and then wants to flash to taiwan english version rom, which should be the same as the hk english, known as the wwe rom, he flashed it upto 36% and suddently it stop, so he thinks there is something wrong with the rom, so he is requesting another copy of the rom and may be some help too.
since i have no experiences in flashing wm phone, may be someone can help out.
hope this helps
kms
I think he is trying to say the flash fail after 36% progress, then screen turn into wrong color? He is probably has the HardSpl installed and flash with a WWE version of ROM with CHT support. He wants a CHT ROM to reflash.
maybe??
so ... if a reply back is in Punjabi ... the OP is able to decode the "instructions" and follow the directions as NOT to brick his device ???
what are the odd ??

i have since 2 days the new orange french dream. i would like to dump my firmware to help the community ... so if someone know how to do it without loosing my french firmware .....
second issue : there isn't option to sync google calendar and contacts ! Thanks Orange ! This is not a bugg but something wanted by Orange and this is the case on all the orange french dreams... So if someone have an idea ...
EDIT :see post #53 for the begening of the solution
You should install AnyCut and see if you can see a shortcut to those two applications.
thanks but i have tried with bettercut full and there is nothing else than the shortcut to the global sync option....
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean, when you say you have one of the french dreams. Are you refering to the HTC Magic or the HTC Dream, In short, does it have a physical keyboard or only an on screen one? with regard to your sync problem, this sucks, however I am sure that if someone can get the firmware out of your phone it can be modded to rectify this.

Yes, that's what I meant
leaving asside the fact that there seems to be confusion over whether these guys are talking about the dream or the magic can I just ask - assuming this is the Magic is there a way to extract the version of android it has so that it can be modded. I am a complete noob, but assume that there may be elements (like the VK) that can be transfered to JF's next release.
hey this the dream forum so no confusion And of course the dream for Orange is the same than the other for the hardware...
So nobody to help us to dump the firmware and to get contact/calendar sync ?
I tried to downgrade it to a RC7 or RC29 firmware but :
"Main Version is older!
Update Fail !"
So the firmware is protected to downgrades ?
The product code is DREA200.
OK but I am looking for a method without downgrading (i have my dev phone for all those kind of test)
they're talking about htc dream
http://estore.orange.fr/stores/pros...F&pTerminalProdIdWithoutNextState=prod5360002
well I'm french too if you need some help to root your phone ask me.
Since i have a dev phone I can make some test for you .
Since we are in france we should have the same firmware as UK and german users

Yes and the problem is here : to get the firmware we need root and to get root we need to downgrade... and delete the french one
I've read somewhere that the modifications are based on the SDK supplied by the operator, so maybe we need to wait for Orange to give us his SDK ?
@Murphy2715 With Orange i think you can wait a long time before they release there SDK :s
I use Android 1.1 on my HTC polaris and i have the French language so i think you can downgrade be the root and reinstall a custom firmware with the French language

Downgrade seems not possible, read my message #12 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3472857&postcount=12
Do anyone have a DREAIMG.NBH other that RC7 or RC29 ?
That says fastboot and has skateboarding androids (typical of dev phone bootloader). If it indeed ships with fastboot enabled, then it shouldn't be a problem to boot on a modified recovery.img, perform a nandroid backup, etc.

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!

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!

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 =)
