hey All !
Its my first post in this forum. I am an student of electrical Engineering in Germany. I just got an XDA neo(WM 5) with my O2 connnection but its all in german. Is there any way to convert it into english or I have to upgrade the ROM. I am new in this PDA world but being an engineering major i would like to delve into technicalities and contributing (later on). Kindly guide me.
Welcome. Start reading wikis and threads. Too many newbies posting questions that are answered 1000th time... READ stickies. READ topics with pages and pages long. Takes a while to read and understand, dont rush into things. do some research. There are risks, take them when you feel comfortible.
Short answer to your question is YES you can get English roms for your device.
To be specific...
The statement above is definitely right, but the answer doesn't match the question....
To be specific: No, you can't change the language without flashing the ROM.
the FAQ says that in order to backup ROM I should have an Unlocked CID. First of all how to check my CID is locked or not? If my CID is locked can I still backup my ROM.I have a G4.
ipl 2.15.0001
spl 2.15.0001
gsm 02.19.21
os 2.15.4.29
rom version 2.15.4.29 GER
Use the roms with NoVender ID checks just to be safe. You can always try a country specific rom and see if you get the error (something like not intended for this device type error). Not a big deal, as long as you stay with G4 roms and make sure you follow each rom's instruction carefully.
This is the new question I want to ask. (13 Aug 4.37pm London)
As mentioned in the Wizzard-wiki, there is no free way to unlock G4.
BUT !!!!! today, I just did an update (look at my signature). First of all flash the Radio and ExtRom. Then use aWizzard, enable Rapi (e),
UNLOCK CID (u) and last write new OS (w).
In the Unlock CID phase, I finally get something like "your device is successfully CID unlocked" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does this mean that my G4 is unlocked and is it the same as we pay 20 pounds to use IMEI number to lock the CID (as mentioned in wiki)??????????????????????????????
The following is the original post.
I am using a CID locked O2 XDA Mini S. It took me about 6 minute to upgrade to TNT4.0, but after that the device rebooted. And then the old wm5 shows up...... (2.21.4.1)
what's going on here?????????????
Please read the wiki before you ask questions.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Maybe sorry for this naive question.
But I have been reading the wiki many times. Being a foreigner, I don't quite understand many terms and abbreviations in the wiki. After reading the describtion from the TNT 4.0, i know that it is safe to flash it to my O2 MiniS.
But I still don't know why it doesn't work. Here i want to ask 2 questions.
I have read the "how to flash ANY rom to a CID Locked device". 1 question I want to ask is that Any rom includes a rom like TNT4.0, right? I.E. I can flash TNT to my CID locked O2 MiniS, right?
2nd question is that, I noticed that many posts mentioned that they will need an official rom as the base. Where can I find any Official roms for the MiniS. are the following 3 the ONLY OFFICIAL roms for O2 Mini S? I apprecaite any help. Thank you.

You need to use the shell tool to flash to a G4 CID locked device - follow the instructions.

Does that mean that I can flash any rom to use the shell tool, like I can flash TNT4.0 or Faria etc. ?
The answer to EVERY Question and problem you are having is:
Unlock CID your device!
For Crist sake!
You CAN NOOOOOOOOOT put any rom in your device until you have done that, and no matter whatever anyone else says , just do it, and your problems will go away...
Some poeple just dont do what the instructions tell you to do, and then fill the forum with repeated issues...

Man, you scaried me. But there is a post saying that I can flash any rom without CID Unlock, right? Just don't have money to do the cid unlock.
dleeming is right.
According to your signature you have got a G4 model. Follow the instructions in the stickies about upgrade of a G4 model.....

Understand.
I just want to make sure that in theory I can flash to any roms according to thread "how to flash any rom with a cid locked"
As most of these ROM do not incl. IPL/SPL or the radio you may want to check whether your IPL/SPL and radio version work with the respective ROMs first.
If I remember correctly they require 2.x or higher IPL/SPL. But, check for yourself.
BTW what kind of Chinese support you are referring to?
The best I've used for Chinese support is CE-star specially made for WM6 release from the ppda forums. Penpower works like the transcriber for Chinese.
Monster Chinese, I have never gotten to work correctly. You can't uninstall it too.

Thanks mate. Now I've got my new signature. I can show this off to myself now hahahahaha
I forgot the name of the forum, but you can do a search on Leies edition of CE-star.
Idealy, I want to use the English OS system but with full Chinese support. e.g. I can install Chinese software, browse Chinese web-site etc.
But just now, I flashed a Chinese OS system. Quit happy with it now, though maybe later I will try to find a way to fullfill my ideal system above.

If you don't need to enter Chinese characters but just have your Wizard to show them, the easiest way would be to install a cab with the Chinese font set.
The cab is somewhere here on the forum...

Are you sure? I think this thing works similar as PC. Not only we need the font, but the encoding thing (like uni-code or something). Personally, I don't think your suggestion will work. If you find such thread, please do show it to me. It will be highly appreciated
Cheers
I am using it that way. Haven't check Chinese websites but chinese SMS and the menu of the SIM card are shown in HanZi.
check for the fontpatch.cab

Being new doesn't entitle you to break forum etiquette.
I bought an HTC Kaiser, with the ROM in Portuguese 6.1.
Now I wanted to install a new rom in English (WWE), but gives me an error (294) vendor id.
I read about the HardSPL, but, seriously do not understand very well.
Can someone tell me what I have to download to get install the rom???
Already now offers some risk to do this to the PDA?
Please help me.
Thanks a lot.
All the truth and nothing but the truth
A) You need to have HardSPL to flash a Rom basically.
B)See Above.
Thread Closed pursuant with the guidelines set forth in the Kaiser Section Announcement and the Forum Policies.
Hy Guys,
I would like to update my Kaiser, but I had no experience to do this. I do it the first time.
Beforehand I found from Martie on xda a German ROM. And now the problems start for me.
I dont know how I do the update. I dont know what is a Radio or what build I must take. I dont know for what is this Radio, what is the Soft- or HardSPL???
Can anyone help a Windows Mobile Noob to update his Kaiser!!!!
Thx a lot
