Now, that the Xoom will be released in Germany, will there be a chance to get US Wifi version localized with German language and apps? Or are there hardware differences to flash a German Wifi stock rom?
Seems to be the only way to get the german apps running.
Thanks for your thoughts,

Keine Ahnung... But if you check this thread they show that even the North American models (Canada vs US) differ significantly. Doesn't look that good for you. There were posts about people bricking their Xooms by flashing an incompatible kernel.

I have long searched all fora and have not found much, so please excuse my new post ...
I moved back to Germany with a HTC Touch Pro2 branded by Verizon. However I am no longer Verizon Wireless customer.
I would like a German ROM on my handset, possible a WM6.5-based ROM and, of course, it needs to be CDMA radio compatible as I read in most of the posts that a GSM ROM would wreck my device.
At present there is still the newest WM6.5 ROM from Verizon (3.04.605.3) flashed on it, but the radio (2.32.00WU) is already Security and SIM unlocked (I applied Hard-SPL).
Does anyone know a CDMA-based ROM in German?
Thanks,
Mat Fred
Is you reasoning for a German ROM purely language?
I think you can use any CDMA ROM and just use an international SIM card.
there isn't a german cdma rom
Yes, my main reason for a change to a German CMA ROM is language as it is kinda enoying to get english spelling hints when texting for example.
But also I would like to get rid of the Verizon branding since I am not using it anymore.
-Thanks

We are CDMA, so all of those GSM world ROMs CANNOT be used. Using a world GSM ROM could potentially brick your device
You will want to check out all the custom ROMs over at PPC geeks...some might even have a german language pack:

its from at&t i need ROM included GErman Language? anyone can help me? please give me link for ROM and HARDSPL
Just wondering if it is possible. As far as I am aware both units are exactly the same here in Aus, except for the Telstra FW having some bloatware.
I just want to change over as Telstra seem to be getting the updates way ahead of Optus.
You'd be better off just flashing on of the carrier neutral international roms wouldn't you?
Hello!
Maybe it's a stupid question.
Official sales of Sensation did not start yet here in Ukraine, but you know, I just can not wait. I can buy gray imported Europe WWE (401) or Asian WWE (707) (I also have seen 701 CID, do not know what it is?).
The question is, if I purchase Asia WWE device, will I have problems? Looks like it have different radio versions.
Main question is: Will I be able to flash it with Europe WWE after we will get unlocked bootloader, or it may have incompatible hardware?
Current operation frequencies is not a problem, my carrier does not have 3G, I'll be using EDGE connection.
Asian ROM won't have European locales so unless you wanna use English I'd get the European handset
I plan to use English interface (it just looks better than cyrillic).
Interesting thing, device with 701 CID had Russian locale as well. I assumed, that 701 is Asian too, but I may be wrong. I did not find on XDA any mentions of x.xx.701 ROM versions.
Can I tell form the box what version of phone is inside? Nonofficial devices sold in sealed boxes, and nobody would open it before purchase.
You can't unfortunately, you can only assume that where it's being purchased from will dictate the version

x.xx.707 had Russian.
But, I think it safe to assume that all ROMs contain large amount of locales. Correct me if I wrong.
I bought an asian version and the seller told me to get the app more locale 2 from the market. With it you can have any languages you want!

Hi
I have also asian sensation (1.35.707.1) and also using it in Ukraine.
Can someone tell me do I have any good _technical_ reason to flash a European rom? Don't care about locale, i'm using English anyway.
How about radios or any other core software? I'm concerned with reception quality, maybe with EU rom i'd have a better reception?
I had HTC Incredible S, and after updating to EU rom from Asian reception was terrible (might also be a common Android 2.2->2.3 upgrade issue)
Thanks!
Hello,
first post here, from someone looking to buy a Xoom 2 (3G) in Germany but who does not live in Germany and therefore would not like to be stuck with a localised version.
Hence the question: are there any "Germanised" versions of the Xoom2 that I should be wary of?
I've asked an online retailer (notebook.de) who advertise the Xoom2 as "German goods" ("deutsche Ware") if there were any differences between that product and an EU version, such as with the language settings. They promptly answered that the difference was:
a) in the supplied power plug (German version suits me fine) and
b) in the pre-installed language - it is German, but "you can change it in all Android devices".
I am a little hesitant about the last part because a friend in Germany has a Xoom 1 which has German as the only language option.
Should I be worried or are there no special German versions of the MZ616?
Thanks,
Tolimas

I don't know about the Xoom 2, but the original Xoom was localised to Germany with German language only!
I'm also a non German living in Germany, so was incredibly annoyed that Moto would ship such a product, where you can't even set to English, never mind one of the many languages in neighbouring countries! Moto clearly have no concept of how people live in the EU!
My only option was to unlock and re-flash with the Euro standard ROM.
As I said, I don't know if the same will be true for the Xoom 2, but be prepared for a frustrating first few hours if you do get one!
That's exactly what I fear.
On the other hand, I could return my purchase - or simply re-flash it - if it turns out to be localised.
With this thought, I ordered mine today and am now awaiting the courier's call
I briefly had a US version of the XZ and flashed it with the UK firmware without giving this much thought. When my SG dual-sim showed up, I thought I'd flash it before setting it up, and noticed that there seems to be some inconsistency between versions.
At the moment, 39.0.A.1.250/R4B is the generic SG version, but I see that China is up to R9B and India is at R11B. So, it got me wondering what the designation meant, and if there's any reason for / against flashing an Indian ROM (for example).
I think the R stands for region. I freely changed between them personally. I think the differences are very minor. I know the kernels are the same. There might be different preinstalled languages.
Languages and bloatware differs. As I remember from Arc S times Indian version had less bloatware then Western ones.
Hmm... Hadn't considered they were region codes.
I may give the Indian one a shot. I was hoping for a possible modem update for signal improvement, but looks like that's not in the cards. Maybe it'll fix the strange behavior when adding a contact from recent calls on the Singapore firmware it shipped with.
