Having an O2 with a German ROM and wanting to install an English ROM, i contacted O2 UK asking if it was possible to install a UK ROM instead of a German One and this is the reply of O2 UK support:
"It is not possible to use a UK ROM on a German device - this is because O2 DE has a product called Homezone, which requires additional tweaks to the radio-stack to work correctly. The radio-stack is tweaked for each country, as are the ROM files. If this German device is flashed with a UK ROM it will break and then not work at all."
Knowing this, would the installation of an english ROM as you guys r suggesting hurt the device because of the Home Zone thing?
Can't we just use a generic English Rom from microsoft that would not hurt the device?
i am currently using the device oustside Europe, so i do not really need O2 carrier services.
Your feedback is appreciated.

My XDA2 was originally O2 german ROM. i upgraded to Tmobile NL 1.6 to switch to english version. Can i now switch to new O2 UK ROM? Can this upgrade be done using USB craddle?
Yes, I have done that, now I have the last o2 version in English, and works good.
You can find from MKIA the file for change the country ID in the forum.
Hi everyone,
Can someone please tell me the dutch T-Mobile Country ID? Problem is that I already deleted the original ROM, but I didn't used GetDeviceData.
So when I trying tho flash my ROM again with T-MOB101 it gives me an Country ID error.
Hi,
The dutch T-Mobile Country ID is T-MOB003.
I just upgraded my MDA Compact and it workt perfect.
tnx! I'm about to try
i found yesterday a french rom on Orange business website:
http://www.mobilite.fr.orange-business.com/public/oev4/html/fr/pme/mobiles/ba/dl.php?mi=192&pi=2510
i tried this one on an english hw6915 and now i have a french one
i used the updater that come with the rom and i didn't modify anything
orange logo everywhere, i don't know if this rom can simlock the phone to Orange
and there is Orange navigator instead of tomtom
i Hope this can help the hw6900 community
(sorry for my poor english ^^)
edit : the phone isn't simlocked, i've just tried a SFR sim card (another french gsm network)
Great ROM. I flashed it to my Vodafone 6910, although it turns my phone from English to French, this ROM is more responsive than the orginal rom. The version is 1.65.01FRA, rom date is 01/30/07, while my orignal version is 1.13UK. The best thing about this rom, it does not check if the phone is the same language version, it just went ahead and did the update. For those who once has ur phone stuck in bootloader, this one can save ur phone, although make it a French one. So far so good.

Hw 6915 Rom Flash
Hi,
I have an English HW6915 , I want to pass it in French. If I use the Bouygues Rom what will happen to the Keyboard?
This rom is supposed to work on FRENCH IPAQ with AZERTY keyboard. The English comes with a QWERTY keyboard.
Did someone check ?
If you want a copy of the rom before I put it in French just ask and tell me how to do it. OSimage tool does not work.
Regards,
Chris
Rom UPGRADE
I just made a try with my french hw6915 to go from the Bouygues to the orange rom. I do not see any difference if I flash with the full package:
- radioFs.nbf
- radioOs.nbf
- CEBL.nbs
- CEOS.nbf
or only with
- CEOS.nbf
Do you know what are the 3 others files. By the way going to and from the orange rom does not change the fact that my hw6915 is simlocked on Bouygues.
If someone knows how to unlock it I am interested.
Chris

CEBL - boot loader
radio* - radio stuff, the gsm phone software for hardware (to recieve calls, gprs data and so on)
I've upgraded my 1.24FRA to 1.65FRA, looks ok, the only improvement I've noticed is that it doesn't leak memory anymore if you have push mail enabled. Recommended upgrade.

Dear All,
I've bought the HTC HD Mini few days ago and can't get email reply/new messages working on a fresh Multilingual Swiss French install. Once I click reply/new message nothing happens...
Tried several times hard reset but still nothing. I have tried to install the Swiss German version a it work like a charm.
I'm very new to WM and HTC products and I'm very frustrated not being able to write and reply to my mails.
Please could someone help me to get this working.
Best Regards,
Roma
NB: I get a folder "Mail-Anlagen" which seems to be wrong
In fact, I cannot realy help you, because I have exacly the same issue.
I opened a tread by HTC, but without any success.
In fact, they respond to me that I have to phone directly to the EU support.
The probem is that I broke my phone and I am waiting its return.
Hi all,
Do some one has a French mini ?
Could some one give us the FRENCH name of the "mail-anlagen" folder on SD card ?
I suppose that renaming this folder in FRENCH it will work, but still yet no one gave me this name.
HELP required !
Hi. I have the same problem with a HD mini multilingual GER FRE ITA.
I could perform some tests, the problem appears only when you install it in Italian or French. Installing it in German it works fine.
I opened a ticket by HTC, they answered that they are aware of the problem and they are already working for a solution. I hope there will be a patch downloadable from the support site ASAP.
Many thanks for your feed back.
In fact, I suppose the french and italian version to create a wrong folder "mail-Anlage" on SD card. Perhaps if some one could be able to give me the right folder name in French, I could try to work aroud this issue.
I looked for the name in my old Windows Mobile 5.0 device and I tried to rename that folder, but no luck.
Perhaps it has been changed in Win Mobile 6.5...
I'll wait for an official answer by HTC.
I have the same problem with Persian Language!
Damned !
Hoping it resolves this issue I tryed to update the ROM to the last official one 1.36...
I used my S/N in order to download the right version.
After I installed the new ROM... I discover that only GERMAN was aviable no more french or italian version !
I asked help to HTC... no answer !
I took the decision to flash the French orginal ROM... It was not simple but actually I am very happy and the mail works perfectly.

AFAIK you have to flash a new ROM for this.
@montpoisy
No, normally, with the original multilingual version 1.07.xxx you have only to hard reset the phone. At startup, it will ask for the language. But this version has a bug with email, if you don't use it ok, elsewhere you will have to install the new 1.36 ROM.
If you download the new version from HTC with your serial #, you will receive a german version only. After that you have to contact the HTC support, they will provide an add on for multilanguage, and all works ok.
Another option is to install the original french version 1.36.xxx as explained somewhere in this forum.
hope it helps

Thanks for information, never heard that before.
Thank you Moscard,
The hard reset did not regulate the probleme.
I'll try to replace my ROM by the last ROM french but i want be sure. Is Tom Photon V1.2 Buid 24622 the good version to flash my ROM
Ok, you probably have an original German version. If you had a multingual version is writen on the case with a red label (FRANCAIS / ITALIANO / DEUTSCH). It seems this version is only provided in Switzerland. If you realy own an original mutiligual version the hard reset reinstall all the soft, operators and ask for language at the first startup only.
Remark : For hard reset, after turing off the phone (power for a while) you have to push Volume + and Volume - buttons in the same time at statup (power).
You have two options
1) Official with maintaining the warranty
- Download and install officilal ROM from HTC with serial #. You will receive a German version 1.36.xxx. Don't panic it is all under control
- Ask to HTC suport the addon for multiligual, or download it here :
http://htc-touch-diamond.forumactif...ible-d-envoyer-un-e-mail-t19587-30.htm#260771
On this forum, you will find a lot of information about your issue as well
2) Install the original French ROM
See some explanation here:

EDIT
You will find ROM here : http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Photon/
You normally need FRA 1.36.xxx
