Hello,
I am a complete noobie to this so apologies if this offends anyone, I have spent the last 2 hours on this site trying to find information about how to change the language on a QTEK9100 from French to English...
The reason I ask is I want to get a QTEK9100 for my father for his birthday next week but he doesnt speak french and so this would be totally pointless unless I could change the phone into english...
Please could someone help me! Step by step instructions would be most useful as I say I have no real knowledge on how to do this, its taken me 25mins to discover that my phone is a "Wizard..." whatever that means....
Thankyou in advance!!![/b]
I think you will find you will have to put a English rom on the PPC, i do not think there is another way!
Edit Stop the presses,
Ok if you go to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings
But this will not change all the folder names and things like that! The only things that chnage are the calendar day and month etc
What is the PPC?
and also where do I find the said english rom? I have been trying to figure this out all day!
Thanks
Sorry i am not on that network, so not sure if this is the most up todat but here is the english one for you
ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
If this is not the most up to date does that mean that it wont be able to be installed over the software version that is already on the QTEK 9100?
Hello!
Go to this site and have a look for yourself. Since you did not provide us with a little more information (ie provider, country) it's hard to help you here. Normally you can downgrade to an older firmware, but it's not that easy. Watch out for a tool with romupgrade and noID in the name. But as always, dealing with this not official tools can brick your device.

PS: RUU and WWE shows it's an english ROM
You can flash to a new version of RoM which should be in English and your Qtek would be in English. The bootloader would still be in french but it really does not matter. The Keyboard is also problamatic since the French Keys layout remains, although it works as a QWERTY one. You can remap the keys but not worth it, its easier to memorize them.
you can check your Rom from start/settings/system/device information
just use a RoM which is newer than the installed french RoM
I bought qtek9100 and was told that it has English version of the Windows Mobile 5 in English, but it was in Swedish. Now I want to change the langauge, how to do it?
I have already unlocked the CID and phone using the lockiwiz.
I am completely new to the Mobile PDA stuffs, so try to be explicit like how to get into the ROM. I am whining also because of the linguistic reasons.
Help solicited and will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hälsningar MrX

im having the same problem with mine only mines in dutch.
but i figured i just moved here a month ago and its a good way to learn a bit of the language.
I've had my phone about 3 weeks and can now pretty much negotiate it all and picking up some dutch on the way. its all good.
Um, the question sorta confused me... I think you were asking how to change the language from Sweedish TO english... I feel the easiest way would be to flash a new rom (ok, maybee it is not the easiest, but it is the easiest I know of, it will be the most complete and you upgrade the thing at the same time, so why not?) I would flash the T-Mo 2.26, simply because it is the latest and I like it. I am not sure if it is worldwide English or American English (or what the heck the difference is anyway...) but I know it is english b/c I can read it... This rom is available somewhere around here, or PM me and I will email it to you... Hope this helps
Will changing ROM image change language?
Thank you everyone who replied to my question, yet I have some questions as below before proceeding (I used the lokiwiz0.2b to unlock sim and cid, do I still need to run the 0.3a version of lockiwiz?).
I downloaded the WWE ROM from ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
Now my question (of course newbie) is how to install it? And will Changing the ROM will change the language of the Windows Mobile 5.0 too?
Please be explicit (because I am lost in my qtek in a language which I don't understand and I am doing a guess work all the time). Thanks again.
Advice solicited!
I tried to execute the ROM image I downloaded as stated above but held back because the ROM seems to be downgrading from 2.17.7.203 SVE to 2.17.2.202 WWE. So I held back.
In the meantime, I came across three posts and got confused which one to follow?
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54578
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
I expect advice from the XDA experts which one to follow? My main objective is to change the language (from Swedish to English of my WM5PPC) and make the connections faster (radio, wifi and GSM).
Kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
Hi guys
After a few times reading for 3-4h I think I have understood the main things about changing the ROM on o2-Orbit. But I didn't get one thing - is the phone locked (CID) for changing the original rom with a not certified one, or it is locked for every kind of switching.
I'm asking this, because I got my phone in German, and I wonder if I could get an original English o2 ROM and put it on my phone. I think this should not be a problem, eh ? I really do not need any thing more than having a descent English interface, cuz my German is ... Oh my sweet ... i do not know if there is someone less knowing that language
Do u know (if the above is true) where can I get original English o2 rom, and if I do so, is there any HOW TO for doing the switch ?
And please, if my treat is a already discussed one, do not hesitate to erase it from the face of the "mother" forum .
Wish ya very best.
Go to this thread. I just flashed my phone from french to english
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241
the rom is available at the wiki ftp
I am fond of Palm pro very much because i am a Palm fans, but it do not appear in the Chinese market , So only entrust my friend to have bought this machine in Italy, now system languageis is Italian , but I only know English, How change system language to English , everybody helping me , the thanks.
Nobody help me ?
Lot's of people are willingly to help. But most would agree that you do some reading before posting
You need to apply a HardSPL on your device this allows you to flash your device using a different ROM.
Two problems at the moment:
1 - Hard SPL not available at the moment
2 - No official ROM's released at the moment
You will find info on both threads in the Palm Treo Pro Upgrading section.
You can't change the language any other way!

You need to replace the SDDL of the rom by the tg01_sddl+.exe from this FTP
thanks man,but by the way,what do you mean by replace the SDDL?do you mean I should change the flie name or....?
just delete the old "sddl.exe" (from rom folder)
and copy\paste the new "sddl+.exe" (from the ftp) in your storage card with the prg folder of the rom..

I understand that use of SDDL+.exe is now considered obsolete since there is a hardware method of entering bootload available... following links refer:

TG-01 Flash Unlock
Hello.
Could someone advise whether flashing the TG01WP-WM6.5-Generic-IT.zip as described in this thread (two pin short) gives a no-sim-lock phone?
Would flashing Orange TG01WP-WM6.5-Orange-UK.zip onto a Generic ROM then give an Orange branded phone with no sim-lock?
Thanks in advance - Looking to save a few Pounds and get up and running quickly!

I doubt it. Mine was an orangeRO locked, flashed on italian ROM with sddl+ and still orange locked.
Not able to install the English rom
I tried installing the English version downloaded from the Toshiba website.. it says the variant is in valid... can some body help me.
Did you paste the due files at the SD Card root, or inside a subfolder? Trouble could come from that...
The files are on the root of the SD Card... It says SD download failed...
I suppose you used sddl+ as indicated...
By this way, "SD dowloading failed variant is invalid"; was not this the error message when french user tried to get an UK Rom, for instance, on Toshiba Website, and Orange did not want their customers play "rom travel" game? I am not sure I remember well about this; did you have to give your IMEI at some point?
Yes i Used My IMEI number to download the toshiba website to download the english rom
Guys if you have any TG01 buyed in EU you can pud any TG01 ROM Spaish,English,Italian etc... But if it's a Japanese or Asian TG01 don't play with it.
To change rom just pud in the SD /prg/ file and SDDL+ ne one from stepw and run it. If not the same system but we don use SDDL we use a short pin. You can find everyting on forum.
So, trying to test my understanding: (with bits of informations here and there, on this forum and others, I'm getting rather confused)
There would be different "kinds" of Tsunagis, depending wether they were sold in EU or Asia. (hardware? Toshiba programming level?)
Among european TG, due to commercial treaties with Orange, some (French, English, Helvetian) TG would be Orange branded, and sold Orange locked, while Italian TG would be unbranded?
So, if you have an Orange branded TG, still Orange locked or unlocked, you cannot just change to any European WM6.5 Rom just dowloading it from Toshiba website, where you have to "tell" your country giving your IMEI. (you would stumble on that "invalid variant" error message)
Instead, must use the stepw way, refered to in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629586, (or http://www.adryan.evonet.ro/pocket pc/Toshiba TG01/ROM-uri/), or the "short pin" confused: whatever that might be, my poor english don't allow me to understand much about it)
But this would be "dangerous" for an Asian TG, though, unless I missed the information, eekthecat did not say for how long he had been using his phone before he tried, and if he knew for sure his TG was a well working one and not a disastrous bugger (at least some french tsunagists had many problems with theirs, and gave up for another device after some exchanges that did not improve the situation, the fourth proving sometimes worse than the third!)
Wish things will be easier with cooked ROM...
meerau if interested in changing ROM, PM me and I'll help you.Je peux t'aider.
Hi guys I'm new here..just registered after spending most of last night reading ROM developments for the TG01 for the last 1 year or so. I gotta admit that instead of wanting to move away from TG01 (given all the difficulties and misadventures with the set..from other posters) I feel even more compelled to keep the one I recently purchased..crazy right!?!
Anyways I have some info and some questions..will start with the question:
1. I just purchased a TG01 (unbranded) from Italy. The set is running WM6.1 and is brand new..still in the box. I would like to change the ROM to English and the only reason for that is that I prefer english despite understanding both languages...other than that I have no desire to go further and install UI variations of other phones (HTC, etc) as I really see no point in creating problems for myself..what I gather from most posts is that alot of users apply mod's which temporarily seem fine and balanced BUT eventually lead to some sort of problem which is then modded thus solving the initial problem but creating a new one..so on and so forth until phone in many cases dies. (Comment: I am confused why many users flash their ROMS to English when they can't even speak or read English at a basic level?!? Once again I dont see the point..someone enlighten me ...ooops back to the question...So..is there any suggestion or help I can recieve in changing the ROM from Italian to English? Should I do this after the 6.5 upgrade in Italian or? Suggestions please.
2. Toshiba Asia recently started realeasing TG01 to certain Asian countries and one that may be of interest for a generic English Language ROM is Malaysia. I recently picked-up a TG01 in a store in Kuala Lumpur and it was a locally certified and guaranteed set with no 'Telcom Carrier Branding'. It was unlocked and not an import phone from other TG01 markets..and the ROM was in ENGLISH!! This TG01 came preinstalled with WM6.5 (not 6.1) but I had no intention of buying it as I already have the new italian set and more importantly it costs more than 500 Euros vs. the Italian one I bought for a net 287 Euros.
Maybe this can be a new and more reliable lead on how to get a generic ENG ROM instead of playing doctor frankenstein with 'carrier branded' ROMS in English.
Looking forward to hearing your comments.
Ciao
