Changing Language from French to English - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

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

Language change

I've bought a t-mobile mda in austria yesterday.can i change the language of my device to english? :?:
Yes you can, by flashing a new ROM. There's multiple ways of doing that. Take a look at http://xda-developers.com/rom for some basic information.
No, we can't give you the ROM itself. It's copyrighted. There's plenty of places on the net where you can get it legally though. Read some of the related topics on this forum
There is no English ROM from T-Mobile in the net (you better do not use the US Version as this might kick the GSM-Part to hell). But you can flash a O2 ROM, first you have to patch that ROM-file (language and model definition)
Hi Mager,
thanks for your reply, i am interested in changing language too, could you please describe what you mean by 'you have to patch that ROM-file' ???
Or please give a hint, where to find the info.
Would be great.
Thanks ako
Very easy just make an sd-card with bootload (see on this site) form an xda with your wish language. start bootloader with this sd-card in your xda (to be updated) press action finish.
I have also purchased a T-Mobile MDA from Germany and would like to change the menu to English. I would be happy to follow your instructions about flashing an O2 Rom but I am unable to find one on the internet. The few places that have updates require a mobile number that is specific to the phone company.
Does anyone know where I can find a european english rom update?
Thanks for your help,
changing language
hi!
i saw your post and im in the same case
did you find how to change your t mobile mda in german to english?
i downloaded the rsu and ruu programs on o2 ireland but when i want to install the ruu it says it cant find rom image (error 007)
did you have an idea???
thanX
I have not managed to find an english rom to download yet. As soon as I do I will let you know what progress I make.
the solution
Hi!
After many trying, at last, i ve find how to change my MDA in german to english language.
My way is not maybe the best one, but it works perfectly!
1. So, you have to download:
- the rsu update on O2 Ireland (rsu_eng.exe)
- the ruu update on O2 Ireland (ruu_eng.exe)
- the ruu update on T Mobile Germany (ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe)
- an hexeditor (i used Free Hex Editor which is a freeware)
2. Install "rsu_eng.exe" (explanation are on O2 Ireland web site)
3. Extract "ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe" in a folder (with winzip for example). Go to the sub-folder named "German". Delete the file named "NK_Jazz31307ger_TMobile_full.nbf". In the same way, extract "ruu_eng.exe" in another folder. Copy "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf" which is present in the sub folder "english" and paste it in the sub-folder "German".
4. Run "Upgrade.exe". Follow the steps until the message which indicate that the next step is the upgrading. Open "NK_Wallaby31413wwe_O2_Full.nbf" with the hexeditor. You have to change the beginning of first line to: "PW10A2-GER-3.14-003". Save the file. Go back to the upgrade utility and press next button.
5. Thats all! It works! Follow all the instructions on your mda and in the explanation on O2 Ireland Like we used to say in France: "C'est vraiment de la bidouille de merde!"
I saw some advice on the web site "pc-counselor" but it doesnt work on my mda like they said, so i try a lot of possibilities.
Now, my ROM version is 3.14.13 ENG O2 Europe (10/09/02) and my radio version is 4.14. If anybody here know where i can find the 3.15.15 ENG O2 Europe (12/11/02) version or another more recent, i will be grateful. Is there a version after radio 4.14?
About others languages, like french, i think its not possible to switch if the telephone operator doesnt provide a rom update in his language. But perhaps there is a way to do it? If someone knows, im interested in.
Sorry to have been long, but since this evening i was really sad not to find a message which explain in detail how to proceed, so i think about others like me
Bye
Thank you for your detailed account. I appreciate your help.
I will let you know how I fair with the transition.
If by any chance you can help me find the Irish programs please let me know.
Thanks, apap
irish update
as i said in my msg, u can find the rsu and ruu programs on the web site of o2 ireland
go to "product and services" section, then to "mobile internet" section, then "xda" section, and there you have "software upgrade"
its done!
nevertheless if you find some upgrade more recent tell it to me please
see ya
Thanks for this, but in order to upgrade I am required to provide an o2 cell number which I don't have.
numbers
in order to download these updates you ONLY have to enter your imei and your product serial number (they explain how to find it on your mda). in the other fiels you can do like me: fill what you want 8)
are u ok now?
ps: for the "xda mobile" field, use the right click button and copy what you want here
Thanks a lot. I will download it. :wink:
Just wanted to let you know that I have followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly. I now have the English O2 language setting.
Thanks again for your help.
I tried to use the proceedure described here but I got an error when it went to do the actual flash, it didnt even start the flash (thank god). I went to download all of the files as described here but the file ruu_cev31307ger_t-mobile_full.exe is not available on T Mobile anylonger. How would I do it by using the newest file available?
I tried to use the same procedures here but instead of changing the text to "PW10A2-GER-3.14-003" as described I used "PW10A2-GER-3.16-003" because that was the file I had downloaded. But this is when I got an error. Should I have used the PW10A2-GER-3.14-003 even though this was not the file I have?
I tell you, this really P*sses me off that T-Mobile doesnt offer an English OS for this damn MDA here in Germany. I mean I understand that I am in Germany and all...but damn, customer service! But I have lived in Germany long enough to know that Customer Service and T-Mobile (German Telekom) do NOT mix, they have NO IDEA how to support customers.....and the US office was not much better (like I would expect them to be!) I mean if all of you can figure out how to do this I am sure they can do it in a manner that would be very easy for the customer and it wouldnt take THAT MUCH on thier behalf....... OK I am done venting now!
MDA Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have purchased a MDA PW10A2 from Germany. Currently I have an adjourned ROM 3.13.36 ger and radio 4.16. I would like to change the language in English.
I have followed your instructions, but with more recent ROM version .
I have not succeeded in effecting the updating.
I have modified the first line of the file English inserting both the version downnloaded of the German rom (PW10A2-GER-3.16-003) and the one used by you. I don't succeed in making the upgrade, it tells me that it is not a valid rom.
Then I have made the original German updating to try the downloaded file.
I would like to try with your ROMs, even if they are less recent but I don't succeed in finding her.
Can you help me???
1) You must change the version at exactly the right time.
2) You DO NOT change ROM version. You just change the hw version it needs (PW10A1 to PW10A2 for example).
changing from german to English
I read your instructions in the forum. Can I use the same method on a O2 xda I bought in Germany? Is there a difference between an mda and an xda?

How to change language? Swedish to English

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.
english rom
HI!
Check out www.handdator.se if u want to write in swedish.
See the forums.
There´s alot of people knowing.
Hälsningar MrX
Sorry...U have problems with the swedish language?
....
anyway..look here for information about flashing a new rom

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.

A few queries about updating the original ROM on O2-Orbit

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

Can i make my G4 Dutch 6915 English with this?
I read in another topic a user had issues trying to convert his dutch phone to englsih. I don't think he used this rom-update though.
Is this an official hp rom? or a custom made package?
Just flash the ceos.nbf
Just flash the damn CEOS.nbf and delete the rest
make sure you have a backup.
end of story, official or not doesn't matter, **** happens
It's not really about the language that i want the english rom, i want it, because the dutch rom just is very slow. It seems the UK rom has better performance. (lots of discussion about this in dutch forums also).
But i'm not really known with the tools i should use to create a proper backup of my hw6915.
Should i use awizard? or mtty 1.4 in bootloader mode? (those were the two main options i read about in the forum here).
A little help to get me in the good direction would be appreciated.

[Q] How to change language to English from default Italian in HTC Touch2

I'm a serious noob. I din't know what is ROM or HSPL before today. I just got a gift, HTC Touch2 which has Italian as default language. Now, I need to change it to English. I know I have to flash my phone with Eng ROM, but here is the problem. My idea about flashing, HSPL, ROM are not clear.
Can someone be kind enough to give me brief suggestions to do it and explain the process briefly..
Also, there are thousands of ROMs avaiable in the forum, but all are somehow customized. I need a fresh official ROM which won't change my phone anything except the language. All links in the HTC Thouch2 ROM database (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578915) are dead! So, where do I find such kind of ROM?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to change entire ROM just for languag change. I say, look in the book, there'll be something about it. Every official ROM comes preloaded with several languages. Try fidgeting around in the settings. You'll find some option.
Thanks, but that wasn't useful

I have visited every settings in the phone and I'm pretty sure that this ROM has no option to change language.
First try going to Settings -> System -> Regional Settings and changing it to English (country). It "may" work for you, depending on the ROM you have currently.
Otherwise, you'll have to flash an English ROM onto the mobile
