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

Seems to be q a lot of overlap - prolly not worth another install til I fix my email issue.

it is not 100% compatible...
some things like browser string and the phone skin are different compared to the diamond options for example. i will check out more differences. lovely would be a registry backup function. what is the program language? maybe i can fix something for you.

german keyboard, french os

Hi everyone
First of all, great forum here, I know it since some time and I'm also using a custom ROM for my Kaiser, but I think this is actually the first time I'm posting.
Let me explain my situation I am from Switzerland (and so is my company, where I am the Cell Phone Fleet Manager). Believe it or not, but in Switzerland, there are four official languages (German, French, Italian, and something called Romantsch which noone speaks).
Problem is that we're going to open an office in the French part of Switzerland (me and the rest of the company are located in the German part). And the employees there obviously would like to have phones.
Now, although they do speak French, they're not using a French AZERTY-Keyboard but a German QWERTZ-Keyboard. However, they want a French OS, and even worse, they want to be able to type all their freaky accents (é, à, è, ç, ...).
Now I checked back with HTC and they do not offer such a phone combinations. I also checked with our cell phone network providers, and they only offer the English phones in the French part... which leads me into trouble. What kinds of phones should i get them?
My idea is to buy German phones (that way I have the QUERTZ-Keyboad layout printed on the phone). Then load the French ROM and then load the German Keyboard driver back onto the French ROM. Question is: Is that possible?
Or do you have any better ideas?
Thanks
final

Any ideas how you can get accents to work on a FUZE keyboard? Someone developed an application that would do what i need, however I don't know how to re-map the SYM key to another one... I don't have it in my keyboard as a standalone key...

not quite sure if it will help.
I just overread the whole thread, but maybe you'll find somthing in there.

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.

[Q] External bluetooth keyboard has English layout. How to change it to German?

Hi,
This weekend I bought a HTC Flyer and I'm so happy. There is one thing though that's killing me...
I also bought a Bluetooth keyboard so I can write faster when I write large texts etc. The thing is though that I can't change the keyboard layout to German (even if the Keyboard has a physical layout of German, the software keyboard layout is still English).
I can't find anything under the "Languages and Keyboard" settings so I'm currently a bit desperate.
How can I get my German configured android system to understand to use a "Germany layout keyboard" and not a "English layout"?
I really hope that someone can support me here...
Thanks
Hirrsson
PS: Please consider that I'm really a android newbie so I don't understand all the terms etc yet....

hello there to everyone
as this is my first post on this forum, i'd like to take this line to thank all of you whom share information, knowledge, and whatnot to all others: Thank You.
posting here to request the same informtion: pairing an external bluetooth keyboard forces said keyboard to be in english layout, whatever the keyboard. (in my case: french).
In locale the bluetooth keyboard does appears, offering Three settings, but none regarding layout.
I personaly see this as a feature that is lacking due to the fact that the os is intended to be primarily used via touchscreen keyboard; but i also think this feature is needed big time. now heading to official android feature request to see if it has been added to newer versions (am runing 2.3) and if not, request it.

I did this for my Stowaway Keyboard. It is a lot of work, you need root on your device, rootexplorer and Hexeditor.
I can guide you through if you wish.
Which phone? Which keyboard? What has to be changed? öäü? y-z ???
