Help? How do I convert the German MDAII to an English OS? - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hello.
I have a German MDAII, which is unlocked, however I want to change the OS from German to English. Will just reloading the OS make all the necessary changes for me to use it in the US market?
Where can I get a self loading copy of the English OS 2003?
Do I need to flash the ROM or make any other programming changes?
Thank you
Steve

well if it's unlocked and the mda2/xda2 being a triband phone
it should work even with the current rom
of cause if you want english language you need a english rom
and if you need special operator still like from t-mobile or o2 then you
need the rom from such a device

Look at this post
and good luck...

Any German ROM ?

Is there any German ROM available?-I put WM 6 in WWE on my German T-mobile compact III and it is working...but it would be god to have a german too.
1) Can someone download the Update from the Gemran- O2 site and upload it here? I can`t because you need a serial- number of a O2 device.
2) How to change the Language file in a WM6 operating system? is this possible?
My English is poor so maybe this theme is handled here in the Forum, but i didn´t found it.

how to change the languages?

Hello,
sorry, I doesn`t find anything for my question with the search function.
My question is, how could I change the languages?
My problem is, that I get a HTC P4350 with french language, it is no provider locked. But I couldn´t flash the WM6 in german, only in french.
Ok, the keyboard is in french design (AZERTY), but I think, it must be possible to change the system languages, or?
Regards,
Thorsten
don't think wm6 will allow you to change language. to flash other firmware, you will have to unlock the sim+cid. your phone might still be locked?
HI,
the phone doesn´t have a simlock, if the phone has the cid lock - I doesn´t know.
If you would flash the german rom file, I get the error message 294.

Has anyone found a solution for this?
I have upgraded to WM6 Russina which was available from the HTC site.
I would like an English or Greek version of Windows Mobile 6.
How can I do this?

Not sure, but i guess you can download the WM6.1 WWE rom from the forums (here) and flash that one to your device and you will have english language
Ok, thank you larbke666
I suppose WM6.1 WWE can be installed on any existing ROM OS ?
Never installed the original HTC rom in a different language.
Installed different cooked roms without any problem. I recon there is no problem with a original though I can't imagine someone want to use a original .
afaik you can install any rom - it's refalashing, so it doesn't really matter what rom u had
just download and instal rom u like

Acer F1 (NeoTouch S200) Change language

Hello,
I have this phone but have a problem- how to set English display language. I read in this forum - i must find a English rom... or... i am not shure. Can u help me?
/sorry for my english/
Thanks a lot
you can not change the language in windows mobile, you have to use an English ROM.
unfortunately, Acer has not yet released ROM updates, nor are there custom ROMs available yet. But check back the forum regularly, there is one in the making.
oh...
Just wait... right?
Can i install only English language? or... just update something?!?
you need to flash a different ROM, if you want a different language, period.
a device can only contain a single language a time, so you need to install a different Windows Mobile (in form of a ROM image). Why haven't you bought an English device to begin with?
I bought it from ebay. There is no information to display language.
Just one last question- can i install ROM from other model phone?
no.
you need one specific for the neoTouch S200.
Did you try to change regional settings (start, settings, system, regional settings). I always had an english device but this maybe will help you so you can read english.
What language do you have?
While waiting for an english rom, you may install/try SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 which works fine on S200 and choose enlish as your language. This will help you alot. At least you will use your mobile decent.
Freco, thanks !!!!
I will check SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 ... and will wait for rom.
You are the man!!! thank you again!!!
You can change language... but its a little bit tricky...
You need mui files for language you want eg 0415 are for polish language then change some registry entries...I've made polish language for TG01 and the only problem are settings from Toshiba(they don't use mui files ;/)

Hi All!
2 days ago i bought S200 and now i have the same problem
It`s french WM and it's .....aaaah no comment :/
I need english language (or polish)
I will try install SPB maybe it helps me for a few days...
But if someone will find english WM for s200 please share somewhere...
Now, I have s200_1.002c.00_fr
maybe some one can find s200_1.002c.00_en somewhere...
First You must know how to hard reset Your phone with button combination (messing with registry entries can lead to the hangups or make your system unbotable) second so far i know changing language on french/german TG01 to the English made system unbotable(that was Toshiba Keyboard SIP problem) and didn't translate much of the system... i didn't seen anywhere english mui files so easier would be to translate language to Your native using mui files from rom with close build number with one installed on Your phone
Hi everyone!
First of, as first time poster I'd like to say thankx to everyone who maintains this site and everyone who contributes with everything, from they're kitchen's best meals to any crazy ideas, I've been taking advantage of that for last month or so
But for this one I've found no answer, so here goes:
Yesterday I bought an Acer S200 F1 neoTouch yada yada yada...
I live in Portugal, so it comes with portuguese version of WM 6,5 which is horribly translated, making me, therefore, prefer the english version. I've never actually seen one of these with english version for sale here.
So I went around fishing for a way to change the language, I downloaded the official english version rom update from Acer's website, extracted it, replaced the ACER_EUU.exe with the cracked one, and it flashed smoothly.
However, EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn on the phone it hangs up, sometimes on the WM logo, sometimes during network search (shortly after WM is loaded I guess). Then it reboots all by itself, and then it works sort of ok.
I think I've described the process quite extensively, obviously, either I'm doing something wrong, or this method is not even supposed to work.
So I flashed the portuguese version back to the phone using the exact same method as described above, only not with english rom of course, and it is back to working as it should... in awful badly translated and cropped portuguese.
Should anyone know a way to get around the hang-ups I get with the english version, I'd be so grateful!
Cheers!
Why don't you try one of the Rafyvitto's roms. They are english and good looking.
Indeed. I'm using v2.7-vanilla, no crashes to date.
But I'm kind of obsessive, and rafyvitto's roms althought working much like they should, they have stuff built in which I think have no business being there. In this vanilla 2.7, as an example, title bar makes no sense as WM already has it's own way of doing the same (I think) I'm a noob to WM, so this might be a complete nonsense. Then there are bugs, such as the keyboard not showing/hiding properly during a call (I have to tap the button as if double clicking, and the button's description displays a wrong message ("hide" when it's hidden, "show" when it's being shown already) and sd-card encryption can't be turned off.....
Small things which make my day a little worst
Still, I appreciate rafyvitto's work, as the possibility of choice he provides us with is priceless =)
EDIT: as of the release of the new official rom's from acer (EUU_Acer_S200_3.003b.00_EN_03.03.08_3.003.01_20100119.zip) I am able to change the language from portuguese to english without the hangups I mentioned earlier!

are there mui files for every part of the os? like settings, programs, clock, messaging etc?
would it be possible to take the mui files from a german rom rename them from mui.0407 to 0409 install a new english rom and replace the mui files with the german renamed ones?
of course with a programm that allow replacing rom files like resco explorer or total commander?
if so maybe i even could get some german htc manila mui files from originial htc leo rom and rename and replace the ones of the acer s200 leo roms to have a part german rom ?

its possible to get Portuguese language ROM on your phone i am assuming it is an GSM Phone if it is then if you want WM 6.5 i would recommend Mord4z's ROM link which he made a Portuguese ROM and if you want to stay in 6.1 you have 2 options
1. flash a stock Portuguese ROM link big thanks to PJonDevelopment
2. flash a newer 6.1 Portugese version made by me link
hope these suggestions help you find a good solution
o and be fore you flash any of these ROM's make sure to do hardSPL first check this thread before flashing ROMs link to HardSPL
