I am planning to get a Vodafone 1615 (HTC Kaiser) in Netherlands but my phone vendor says that it is available with him only in Dutch. I would like to change it to an English version but the forums here don't give me a conclusive answer, i.e. they talk about Kaiser, AT&T tilt, etc but not vodafone 1615.
Can someone help me with:
1. Where can I get an English ROM? preferably Vodafone 1615 English ROM or a English ROM upgrade that has worked on a vodafone 1615?
2. How do I go about upgrading the ROM? I have seen the instructions regarding HardSPL and just wanted to confirm if I can just go with tha.
Unfortunately, getting it from another vendor is not an option for me. And at this time, I am not too bothered about a SIM unlock.
Thanks in advance.

hey tvnl .. i know its an old post I hope u still read it but i am stuck with the same situation u have here .. did u find any rom for the 1615

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.

The name of the rom is:
"KaiserCHTReconstructedROM.rar"
Should be Traditional Chinese ROM.
Many thanks Mr Zero...
Hi ... I am looking desperately looking for a new Official ROM upgrade in English above 1.48.4.5 I downloaded from the HTC website that gave me the Greek version because if my serial number.I stupidly thought it would only be a question of language but it is not. For example my index in People no longer works because the langauage is all wrong. Also I prefer English Ireland because we have Euro in Cyprus not Pounds.
Can anyone help!
It was HTC ambigious answers that made me download the stupid thig in the first place
Welcome to forums
It would be very important to know what device you have in order to help you
have a look on the Wiki to locate your HTC device
Good luck,
Hi,
I have a problem with a htc t5388i clone bought from china, the seller sent me the phone with win 6.5 installed in spanish, I need english, so I've flashed the phone with an older version of rom and now everething it's ok, except for the camera, it doesn't start at all, my original phone specs are :
Code:
VERSION
ROM VERSION C03.021.14 ESN
ROM DATE 2011-03-01
RADIO VERSION 4-16-2010 20:16:30
PROTOCOL VERSION BASE_W09.20_P4
So if anyone has an english rom version from 2011 for t5388i, or at least you can do a backup of your phone on a SD card, upload content to hotfile or rapidshare and send the link. please, please help!
Many thanx in advance and best regards!
I need the same rom
I got also the phone from china and it had the version C03.021.14 ENG. I tried to change the language to Solonomi GER which has a production date from 16. April 2010. All i got was a white screen. On the way back i tried every possible rom i could find on the internet, the only one working was C03.021.08 ENG but without camera-support.
I have seen on ebay that there are even phones out with C03.021.14 GER.
Whoever has such a ROM C03.021.14 please share it with us!
Regards
Deali
I have that rom
Hi, do you solved your problem? I have a phone with that rom you need and I need the rom in spanish. We can backup them
My e-mail is zanganno [at] gmail . com. Let me know.
Hi zanganno,
Yes, I've solved the problem, the chinese seller - a dumb woman - sent me the original rom after 2 months, but the phone is a joke, the sound is bad, very low level, you have to have very good ears to hear something and I must say, all chinese clones are crap phones, I found instead a chinese brand, very good, it calls iPro, very good phones and batteries. I couldn't back-up my spanish rom but I can get it for you! I will contact via e-mail! All the best!

Delete your Serial number for privacy, I think your P/N indicates you have a T-Mobile model? Perhaps try one of the ROMs for that?
Alternatively, install HardSPL on your device. This is a custom bootloader which will allow you to flash generic ROMs. There is a link that will help you in my signature, I will help if you have further questions
Good luck!
ofcourse T-Mobile from UK operator ? i will try to instal, if he not run i will try the other wersion of operator from UK.
now the fun all time is runnin in bootloader and hace error ( becouse i was trying to upload incompatible soft)
i only found in xdda T-mobile Germany,i will try to instal them, maybe it's works.
NO it's not work, allways it's one problem 294( and what i found it's not compatible with my fone) now i have SPL 3.03 and the info is this i cant loud the HSPL on 3.03 im must do a downrage (?) tu older wersion and then but how, how i can't upload any of ROMs. uh it's crazy,
OK Now i try many of Roms:
Official Roms ofcourse
WWE 1.66.405.2
WWE 3.14.405.2
T-Mobile (DE) 3.14.111.1
T-Mobile(EN) 3.14.119.1 ( of HTC official website)
Vodafone DE 3.14.162.5
Vodafone UK 3.14.161.3
And always he stop on 1% and black lcd, and ofcourse 294 problem. Just only service? only soft it's for me 100PLN it's expensive..
Maybe any sugesstion ? i open for all
On polish forums find the PN the man had this same htc Hd2 with these same PN number and it's from Norwey.... now i download the ROM For Norwey from Xda and i'll Try.
Ok i write Hew Post becouse it's will be more visible
