Hello,
has anyone any idea as to why there are so few system languages in the 128GB version of the U11? Mine comes from Dubai but has no German, Nordic or Eastern European languages to chose from. Previously, I had an S7 DUOS also from UAE, but that had a long list of languages I could chose from.
Any hint?
Thank you.
Markus
You might need to flash a European Rom version to take over this issue.
I'd like to bump this. Is there any way of getting more system languages without installing a different ROM? I've got the 128GB steel SIM and worry that another ROM may not have the dual SIM capability. If also rather not void my warranty.
This is an HTC thing where they limit system languages by region. You can use an app like MoreLocale2 to add any language you need. It works without root but requires to give permissions using ADB commands.
There also was another way, but in my phone the disable button is greyed out, so it probably doesn't work on the U11.

Under Language & Keyboard settings -> Select Language -> locale, is there a way to install more languages into the phone without rooting or flashing a new ROM? My friend's Captivate only has English and French, and my other frieind's Optimus One also has a few languages to choose from. Neither of them want to root because they just got the phone and they simply just want the phone to work as a phone.
currently, i have a captivate which i got from rogers canada. I had eng/french locales, but i wanted japanese. after flashing a custom 2.2 rom, i got a huge ton of them including deutsch, spanish, italian, korean, (list goes on) but sadly no japanese locale. so in short, i don't think it is possible to install other locales unless they came either with you phone, or by updating your phone. but i could be wrong.. just what i think.
Thanks. I think Google should just let any Android users to install any languages they want on their phones since they are available already.
Anyone else?
Try moreLocale2 on market.

This is not flashing a custom ROM, but rather flashing another official Garmin ROM onto your phone from another country.
Try this at your own risk. Consider yourself warned.
This is reportedly working fine on the A50 (Garminfone) & A10.
I found this posted over at Howard Forums by "vs2".
I wiped my T-Mobile Garminfone and put A50 firmware for Canada's Videotron on it. It works fine and does not have the "offers" etc. that bloated up the T-Mo version. Traffic works just fine too. I now have French rather than Spanish on it.
You may need an unlock code. I did after I did a Master Clear. But if I did not do the master clear, I was fine...

Instructions: (worked for me)
1. Have two micro SD cards
2. On one put the same update file that is already on your phone.
2. On the other put the new firmware you want to update to.
3. With phone off practise taking phone cover off/on and removing SD card.
4. Turn phone on with SD card that had existing firmware update on. Update notice will show and ask if you want to update - say yes, then it should say update is the same as already on your phone do you still want to update, don't accept or decline. Now quickly pull off cover and exchange SD cards and put cover back on. You may get a message about battery cover - go ok. Then the same 'do you want to update' message should appear - go ok.(you may need to pull down the yellow exclamation from the top to accept the update if the window does not show) Be patient and wait your screen will show 'verifing' then reboot and could be a black screen for 10-15 minutes. (try it with out a Master Clear first, your apps will still be registered and you may not require an unlock code!) as your old settings/apps will still be on phone. It may be ok to leave them on??

Interested? Here's a few links to the .update files.
Some countries have packaged them inside an .exe file (OPTUS for Australia). I used WinRar to extract them from the .exe and followed the procedure above.

Hello,
I don't know if this thread is still alive or if anyone is listening, but I'll try anyway...
I need to reflash my Garmin A10 ROM back to "out of the box" state. But I have been unable to find the proper .update file I need.
My A10 model was manufactured for European Open market with Android 2.1, European maps and all languages incl French.
Among the files you mention above, none would suit my device...The one I could possibly use would be the DK_Open market (Denmark); hoping it contains all the other European language options. But it seems to be for the A50 device; so I have some hesitation as to flashing it on my A10 model. Are both models so close in hardware features that this would work ?
Otherwise, the original ROM I need is this one :
A10:2.1-update 1/ERE27/A10-V5.071-user-20101027EUOM
If anyone has this .update or knows where I can get it, I would be so happy !
Seems it has been removed from all Garmin Support/download sites, as I was able to find all the ones you mention above, but not this particular update...Possibly it was not available for download because A10 models sold in Europe that were not Open market, could then be "jailbroken" and therefore accept any SIMM and telephony operator...My guess anyway.
But also possibly this ROM was downloadable for some time and perhaps someone would still have a copy of it...
Thank you very much if someone can help,
gtournier

Hi, XDA-Developers,
I am back from China where it bought this little phone (which is DUOS - means supports two SIM Cards):
The phone is China Unicom Branded and updates in KIES just fine:
AP: S7562CZNUANB1
CP:S7562CZNUANB1
CSC:S7562CCHUANB1
It does not seem to be SIM locked, since local SIM cards seem to work fine:
As i am located in bulgaria and have two major problems:
1. Lack of any Google apps and services - no google maps, google play store..
2. Lack of any Bulgarian local settings (only English and Chinese).
It seems the ROM is multi-CSC - displayed when starting in recovery mode.
However all operations related to changing CSC or installing google apps seem to require rooting the phone, which i am not able to find any reliable information. Any information i find is about GT-S7562 which is pretty much different phone it seems.
So i am a bit stuck on what i can do.
There is mentioning that you can flash CSC from another region using ODIN, however i could not really find reliable information about this and source of proper CSC files.
Best Regards, Chavdar
I have this phone and I can help you with number 1. Unfortunately number 2 can't be fixed because this phone was only released in China and as such it only has 2 languages. If you still need help reply and I can guide step by step
Please advise steps of fixing number 1.
Thanks.
I have a huawei MT7 CL00 , its the chinese verison and everything is mostly chinese even when i set it to english. My question is do any roms or stock roms exist that i can flash and use all the features but pure english? What are my options ? Example on sony phones i can flash a rom from singapore or etc for an international type version, can i do that and if so how? thanks for the help ( i cant read the menus, in chinese)
CL00 has so many preinstalled apk in it, that may confuse you.
But CL version is China Telecom customized and is actually no suitable for international roaming.
Such as it has only LTE band1 /3/41 , it's CDMA only support BC0.
So I think there will be no international ROM usable.
The only way should be :root it and remove some preinstalled apk, and install google play store apk from third party website.
PS.
If you unlock fastboot and at command, an AT command to set customization area code maybe usable.
But that can cause the status bar network indicator issue.
Hello, as the title says, I un-rooted my phone a few days ago... I used KingRoot, and I also used the Un-Root option on their windows app when I un-rooted my phone. I also used Root Checker App and the Terminal Emulator App from Google Play to verify, the results showed that my phone is no longer rooted.
Note: I'm also very newbie and most of the time, very clueless when it comes to these Android Rooting business, so I would appreciate it as well if the answers will be newbie friendly, and I apologize as well if I'm asking to be spoonfed for the solutions; I only have very limited time, and me hunting for answers in google resulted in hours of wasted time, except on me being able to learn just the meaning of a very few terminologies, too few to be considered significant I think.
~~(Might be helpful) Details:
-The model is: Samsung Galaxy Core Duos GT-I8262, and is running the Android Jelly Bean (Android Version 4.1.2)
-For a more detailed firmware/rom info (after dialing *#1234#):
AP: I8262XXAMG6
CP (Baseband Version): I8262DXAMH1
CDC: I8262OLBBMH2
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-1322246-user

SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 22 17:26:39
KST 2013
~~Situation:
Now the thing is, the app I am using no longer allows phones who are rooted, so I un-rooted my phone, and to begin with, I haven't really done anything with my phone being rooted, since back then I was trying to fit my games on my external SD card by installing apps which requires root... but everything I tried with my limited time didn't work even with root, so I did not bother to do anything root-related (like installing certain UI modification and such). The only thing that got installed on my phone is this KingRoot app (which I prevented from installing any other app that it offered), and is since then removed.
Now, I un-rooted my phone using the Windows App that KingRoot provided, and I even used Root Checker app from Google Play and even checked my root status using the Terminal Emulator; results are all cleared, my phone is no longer rooted.
But when I run this app, it still gives me an error code that the devs themselves provided... an error code that indicates that my phone is either Rooted, is a China Phone, or other problems.
For the first two problems; Rooted or China Phone; I'm supposed to be cleared of this, and my phone is a Samsung bought from an official dealer...
As for the third problem: one of my friends who uses the same app told me that my problem might lie on my ROM not being a "Global" one... from the Firmware info I provided, I can see an area code called 'DX' (which should stand for Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, and I am in the Philippines right now).
~~Problems:
There comes a whole lot of new problems, but first, to sum up my whole problem:
--What should I do with my phone to change its ROM or Firmware (what should I change between these two to begin with?) so that it becomes "Global" and would finally allow me to run this App (a Game), WHILE at the same time, still allows me to use my Sim Card in the country I am in right now and still being able to keep all my data intact (assuming Flashing a ROM would erase my phone's data particularly in the internal storage)?
Specific Problems:
-With my limited time, I only am able to find tutorials that allows one to flash a ROM using a Rooted Device... should I root my phone again and do the flashing then remove the root? And before that... really, what in the world should I do? (Refers to my question above on my problem summary), like, how should I flash this ROM while my device is unrooted, what should I do? (I'm really sorry for this question, but I hope someone will help me on this...)
-I am having dilemmas with backing up my data in my phone, such as my notes on the built-in Memo App, and my research said I have to use Titanium Backup... which requires a rooted device to work... can I just use this "Backup and Reset" from my phone's Settings and would still allow me retrieve my notes on my Memo App as well as my contacts and Text Messages intact after I flashed this "Global" ROM?
-I cannot seem to find a ROM that is "Global"(?) for my Smartphone Model and Android Version whenever I search google... can anyone of you who are knowledgeable enough provide me with such? Searching for it using google is not giving me any exact answers...
-I have read during my research earlier that when I flashed a ROM that is not in my country, my Sim Card would fail to work? Then what should I do to make this phone have this "Global" ROM/Firmware which will allow me to run this App, while at the same time, still allows me to use my Sim Card in this country without any problems?
-To begin with, from the data I provided:
AP: I8262XXAMG6
CP (Baseband Version): I8262DXAMH1
I see from the AP the area code 'XX' which denotes that it's Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, right? Then isn't my phone "Global" already? I'm very, VERY confused...
---
These are all the questions I have in my mind right now. I hope someone would help me with my problems, and clarify necessary things from my problem. If someone could also direct me to a tutorial of sorts, on flashing a "Global" rom that would enable me to run this App, while still making my phone's data intact and still allows me to use my Sim Card for communication purposes here in the Philippines, would greatly be appreciated as well.
Thank you all in advance, sorry for the long post too, I tried giving all the details I could and asking all the questions I could that might help pinpoint the problem as well as might help in providing me a solution that would work to fix my problem.
