Hi People,
A while ago i decided to root and flash my phone to get miui on it. It all went well, but now the volume button of the device fell out, the 'H' on the back fell off etcetera. So i want to send it back for service. Although i had to set everything back to factory state. My device was still rooted so i put the stock rom back on it. I'm from the netherlands, and the dutch language was in the selection menu, so that was fine. But then i got a lot of errors after restoring a Titanium backup. Errors containing 'android.process.acore'. I tried to update the phone, because i thought that maybe then the error would go away, but it didn't. So i decided to go to the bootloader and restore to factory settings. That all went well, and when i started my phone again it was in dutch, just as i want it to be. I firstly had to select a carrier, mine was on the list, so that was fine too, but then i had to select a language. Unfortunately the dutch language wasn't in the list!
These were the only options:
English (United Kingdom)
English (Ireland)
Espanol (Reino Unido)
Espanol (Irlanda)
Francais (Royaume-Uni)
Francais (Irlande)
Italiano (Regno Unito)
Italiano (Irlanda)
I tried a few RUU files to see if there was a dutch language on any of them, but there wasn't. I can't send the phone back without having the possibility to choose the dutch language, because then they can see i have flashed it once and i would lose my warranty. Maybe i have already lost it, but it is worth to try. It's not common that a phone is falling apart in just a little year. Does anybody know how to get my stock rom to dutch? Maybe i've got a wrong bootloader? But since i am in firmware version 2.50 i can't downgrade anymore i thought?
Any help is very appreciated!
Ps. I'm Sorry for my bad English
Many thanks,
Laurens
Edit:
I have tried selecting those languages that were available but firstly every language on the list showed the language described, just as it has to do. But now I selected the 'English (Ireland)' language again, and everything is dutch again! Very stange... Should this be enough to send my phone for service? The device has stock rom, firmware 2.50, S-On and is dutch (at least for now).

Hello-
Something similar has probably been asked and answered before but I haven't been able to find it, so here goes.
I have purchased a Kaiser from a retailer here in Sweden who told me that I could change it to English when I first start it up. I received it today and found that of course that's not true.
I have tried running the RUU for ROM 1.56.405.5 but it gave me a 294 Invalid Vendor ID error. I assume this may be because the language currently on the device is Swedish. Do you have any suggestions.
thank you.
you need to cidunlock the phone..
then you can install from another vendor. (there´s posts about that in the forum).
hello.
i bought a galaxy gear s watch and when i did a factory reset on it it rebooted in Spanish or something similar. the model number is SM-R750. apparently they had re-flashed it... ?
anyways i went to sammobile and downloaded the firmware for me. i then used odin to flash the device. all went ok but still it shows Spanish language. i dont know why since i flashed an English firmware. should i click re-partition? i dont have a pit file though
furthermore, i even went back and downloaded the British firmware. obviously that should be english.
still, when the unit reboots it gives text in ROMANIAN.
the serial number on the device is: SM-R7500ZKAROM (where ROM is Romania).
the bastards in my country brought this unit in from romania and resold it.
so how do i fix this issue? i realize i can start the unit, go through the steps then change to english but i really want it in english.
Hello guys,my friend got this (SM-J7108) phone in Romania some weeks ago from emag.ro (A trusted seller). After a time the phone got an update and he made it, now there is no more romanian language, he can't use frontal camera or flash. He made factory reset, from the android and the recovery. I wanted to flash the android with odin but i saw that the phone is for Asia market and can't find the rom, is that true? And what can i do? He sent me photos with the box, a lot of chinese things on the box but the recovery is full in english, no chinese at all. I told him to make a ticket on the seller site to solve the problem but i first want to know more details about this phone and what really happened here. Thanks ! xD

Hk version.
Hi people.
The motherboard of my G930F breaks down and I bought a new one from one seller.
Seller tolds me that my contry language was in the menus (spanish).
I just mount the mainboard and the phone works fine, but maybe the 75% of the menu texts appear in english.
I tryed to translate them with morelocale or some other apk's but the device must be rooted or make it by ADB.
Now, the seller is telling that I can flash a G930F firmware in my G930W8, because is "the same device".
I don't now certanly if this is real or not.
Can you help me? Thx in advance
They both use the same exynos could buy you can't flash 930f firmware to the 930w8 with Odin.
The model number in download mode will always be 930w8.

Yes, since it's the Canadian version, I would imagine the W8 ROM's Spanish language abilities would be limited. Even if there's a Spanish language option in the menus, Samsung wouldn't put the effort into translating the whole OS for something they're only selling in Canada, a country that speaks English and French. What you could do, though, is flash an Exynos custom ROM, which will work with W8 or F, and change your CSC (that stands for country specific phone, it tells Android which language and location to use by default) to Mexico-Unlocked or Spain-Unlocked. There are some Claro CSCs in there too, if you're in one of the many Spanish-speaking countries where they have a monopoly and you need their official apps to recognize your phone as a Claro phone. I'll link the thread, all of the instructions for how to flash the ROM and change it to a Spanish-speaking CSC are in there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-s7-rom-v1-0-t3356197
Just to warn you, if your phone has the Oreo update, this might not work, because even if you flash the Nougat recovery and bootloader, there's no guarantee that TWRP would be able to format /data and mount /system in the Oreo ROM to actually flash the Nougat ROM. If it fails, no worries, a program called "Samsung Smart Switch" can get you back on the working stock ROM with the press of a button. Even if it does work, though, you'll be downgrading to the 1.5-year-old Nougat, which you might not want. The SuperMan ROM developer says Oreo is coming soon though, he wasn't able to do it yet because he was in the hospital with a medical emergency until about a month after Samsung released the official F/FD/W8 Oreo Touchwiz ROM, so it's just a matter of patience. Your comment sounds like you can speak fairly good English, so hopefully you can make calls, text, and bookmark the Spanish versions of your favorite websites until a stock-based Oreo ROM comes out. I don't think it will take any longer than another month.
My mother has a Brazilian LG Q6 (M700TV), that unfortunately didn't receive the Oreo update. Because it didn't get the new version, I used LG UP to update it with an Australian firmware, however after almost a year she decided to factory reset the phone but Brazilian Portuguese disappeared from the settings, only Portugal Portuguese is available. With ADB Language Changer I managed to change it to Brazilian Portuguese, but it resets back to Portugal Portuguese after each reboot. I found out that a guy had the same problem with Hebrew on his LG G4 after an update and got it working thanks to an apk workaround, which uses ADB permissions to change the language back after each reboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lg-g4-h815-hebrew-removed-restart-t3186330/page2). Is it possible to get an APK that does the same but with Brazilian Portuguese? Also, is it possible to apply a firmware from other regions on top of my current one (even though the version is the same)?
