I got myself an HTC Desire, and I'm loving the phone. I have a few issues and questions, though.
1) My language selection is for Croatia (English) and a few other Eastern European countries. Is there a way that I can flash the phone to have a world wide English edition on the phone?
2) If I root it, or do anything else to it, what are the chances of me bricking my phone?
3) I have the issue where the phone randomly restarts. Should I wait for the official Froyo update, or should I use the one which is available by hackers?
I had a parallel imported desire that the only english was English (Thai). most of the roms you find online (ie:rooting the device) have American English and UK English available.
low chance of bricking as long as you have a rom that is for your device and not another device.
you might as well try rooting the phone re: restarts. if it doesnt fix it and you want to restore it back to stock when froyo comes out you can

Hi everybody,
New to Xoom (but not to Android), so may be a n00b question
I bought a WiFi Xoom in US last week and it updated automaticaly via OTA to 3.1.
Problem, there is no support for French (France), only for French (Canadian) wich is slightly different (i.e keyboard is QWERTY and I would like AZERTY).
Is there a way to push "French" language support in my Xoom ? (Like CSC on Galaxy S). If not can I flash EURO Motorola Roms to my US Xoom ?
It's not rooted, not unlocked (not yet, still reading forum to see if it's safe )...
Thanks
Search for language pack, it's posted in apps section.
For information, I finally decided to flash stock Motorola Europe rom (after being stuck on Motorola logo when trying to root it).
So now I have a European 3.0.1 Xoom with all languages support instead of a US 3.1 (not really happy with that…).
If you want to get back to US 3.1 and install the language pack, follow this guide.

Remember, DO NOT RELOCK!
Thanks burden010 !
Hum... noob question, I've already relock it (with stock rom, I follow motorola dev instructions), was it a bad idea ?!?!
No it's OK, the "don't relock instruction" is to prevent a possible half-brick. If you're going to follow that guide, do not relock or it COULD cause problems, doesn't mean it will.
I start this thread because this question has bother me for a month, since i had the Titan.
We all know that next gen windows Phone will use the NAND Flash Memory. So the first thing i know, there is no Gold Card anymore.
I used to use the Gold Card Technique to install the EU Official Windows Mobile ROM for the Asia HD2, so i am kinda familar with it.
So now i have the HTC Titan from UK , and i am not really pleased with the British Accent on it. So i am looking for the answer if i can install the Official ROM of AT&T version for it, and most important thing: be able to receive the official update for it.
Since it is NAND Flash Memory, and bootloader will cancel the install from the start, i am looking for anyone who have the answer.
And there are many custom ROM out there, but my main concern will it be able to receive the update?
Thanks.
PS: my bad i mean Region, not "religion".
Moved to WP7 Q&A

Maybe no one here tried it yet. But if I were you, I wouldnt mess my ROM. About custom ROM, that depends. I remember one of DFT that was able to receive update. Dont know about the new ones, but if you do receive updates from MS, you certainly will not receive OEM updates, like HTC releasing the drivers for internet tether.
Hi All,
Essentially, I had bought the Moto X T-Mobile & Unlocked sim-cards as a gift for my wife. Unfortunately, I found that the Moto X T-mobile comes with only 4 languages installed. So, Arabic is not one of them for system display language. My wife doesn't speak English and she only speaks Arabic. I would really appreciate if you can help us to add more languages to the phone without rooting the phone?
The UK Android version has Arabic, How can we get UK version install to the phone.
Thanks
Hi there!
I'm afraid the only way to add languages to the system would be by unlocking bootloader (which voids your warranty) then rooting and installing a custom ROM that has support for Arabic....if any do.
You can browse the dev section found in the moto x section, here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x?nocache=1&z=9703952672425658
See if any ROMs in the dev section list Arabic as a language. Or you can post your question in the Q&A section.
But unless you root.....there's no way to do it. And the custom ROM would need to support the language as well.
Good luck! ?
You should have no issue flashing the UK firmware....so long as the firmware is for the same model.... As in xt10xx model number.
If you do encounter issues....you can always flash the same firmware you are on now again. So be sure what you have now.
Here is a thread to help with that...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515
Also note: very important.....if you ate on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3, DO NOT downgrade lower than 4.4.2....you could brick your device. Just keep that in mind now and in the future.
How long will it take to wait for the root of this phone?
I have bought one but it really annoys me cuz it just can't be rooted. and you know the true interesting thing about android.
Anyone interested in find a way of root for this phone?

To gain root, first we need a custom recovery.
I have been trying to contact people on here that seem capable of making a custom recovery for this device, but so far no luck.
I have also been watching the Chinese forums for this device as well, but nobody there has a custom recovery yet either.
It will happen in time.. we had the same process last year with the M7 dual sim version. in the end we even had Enlish Roms flashed onto the devices... Im sure the same will happen here eventually.

Let's hope so ,but seriously people should avoid buying dual sim version of phones 'cuz it's always a trouble...
Hi, when you get English roms flashed on to the unit, does it mean you get OTA updates for that rom too?

Do you mean when you flash a custom rom, can you then get OTA updates from HTC? The short answer to that is no, you cannot receive official updates for a custom ROM.
If you mean that you wan't original ROM in English, then the original Chinese ROM does have English language, and with that you can of cause receive OTA updates. I think all original HTC phones have English language.
I was given a legit Samsung J320A by a friend. I unlocked it from AT&T no problem using their site, but wanted to upgrade it - and since I'm outside of the US, that meant a new rom (and there were other reasons, but anyway...).
Looking for a stock Samsung rom, I found https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/development/odin-j320a-j320az-links-t3631914 and downloaded J320AUCS3BQL2 - the latest for the J320A. I flashed the rom, and all went well. I tested it and all seemed fine.
But I wanted to give it to a friend who speaks Indonesian, with no English. Turns out that, whether because AT&T thought no one would want that language in the US, or because of the rom I chose, the Indonesian translations are bad, and often it just gives English.
I can and will (if forced to) try the different roms in that post until I find one that works or until I run out. (Side question: is there a risk of bricking it if I do that?)
But I was wondering: the J320A seems to be the same as the J320AZ and J3 (2016) except maybe for the network hardware? I can't get a definitive answer on that. Does anyone know?
If it is the same or very nearly the same, can I flash using the stock roms from one of the others - preferably the J3 (2016) so it doesn't have any provider apps on it and is presumably more network/connectivity neutral? Has anyone tried it? Can anyone point me to a good rom for that?
