Im going to try and change my generic_SG to generic_UK after hearing its better. Requesting the extracted files for easy of access for everyone to try to change their language roms.
So this is the steps Im going to try as SOON as somebody generous can upload the extracted UK cabs:
Complete R3A Generic_UK Cab pack : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=35LZ05OO thanks to rx.
NOTE: BEFORE you do ANY of the steps below, make sure to DELETE C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db from my computer or you won't get MR2!
1) Do clean install of WM 6.5.2 using the soft-reset during SE customization bootscreen OR just simply clear phone memory located in settings -> system -> clear phone memory.
Detailed steps:
1º Open SEUS, start a new update. EVEN IF IT SAYS YOU HAVE LATEST VERS, UPDATE IT ANYWAY.
2º ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (hidden behind the stilus, opening the battery cover).
3º After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO.

4) Install ALL cabs to device, soft reset.
5) Update on SEUS, it will say latest firmware already, say YES to install anyway
6) Grats on Generic_UK and hello to MR2 =)
Comments: I AM NOW AN EXTREMELY PROUD OWNER OF THE X2 NOW! NO REGRETS, GOOD JOB SE, THIS IS THE WAY THE X2 SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED! =)
I would strongly recommend deleting all the files in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db
That is where any SEUS updates that have been previously downloaded are stored.
Thanks for the tip, I am currently in the process of installing all the cabs.
Will post results as soon as im done =)

i've also given up waiting for GENERIC_SG so am giving the above a try. i'm about half way through installing the cabs.
its good to see that they have supplied us with Opera so we can choose between Opera and IE

So this is the steps Im going to try as SOON as somebody generous can upload the extracted UK cabs:
1) Do steps explained in first step up to the retry but and say NO
2) Download R3A UK rom
3) Extracted cabs from UK rom on SD card
4) On clean WM install ALL cabs? (Is this necessary?)
5) Update on SEUS again, say YES
6) Hopefully it will update it to generic UK

It works that way, I had GENERIC EN, I cleaned up the phone to bare Win Mo 6.5.2 (MR1 without SE cabs), downloaded R3a Firmware, extracted the cabs, installed them, upgraded the phone via seus (forced install since SEUS reads the phone and thinks it has MR2 install), and it installed the MR2
So I have a Generic UK phone now
Excellent news, well done for taking the time and effort to trial this method.
Currently installed all cabs, took a pretty dam long while, but now it's updating by force at the moment, hope all goes well and grats to you guys =)

i hve given a try both UK and SG Rom. SG is better the UK with auto rotate and all
Can you please post a link with the extracted UK cabs ?
Thanks in advance!
1st It works with ANY generic_UK cabs pack, older or newer
2nd Its VERY important to delete DB folder before running Update Service
Provide us a link where that generic uk cab can be downloaded...l can not find any where
Found it it is here in another thred
Can someone help with how to extract whats needed from the downloaded ROM? I've downloaded UK_R3AA035 and have followed the instructions but get an error during extraction (error 5 I believe) and it fails to create the files I should have according to your posts. Or could someone post the cabs to copy over?
can somebody please explain me the first step?
I have just found out how to avoid the manual installation of those cabs Very proud of myself.
Use SASHIMI 8 for an automated process of installing the cabs.
I think the manual installation was the most annoing part, and now we've managed to skip it
Could someone be kind enough to upload the cabs for those of us having trouble?

how do l stop this in step 1
1) Do clean install of WM 6.5.2 using the soft-reset during SE customization bootscreen. NO to retry. where to say no??
kronos check you private messages (i odgovori sto pre)
you have to soft reset when you see the "now installing customizations" screen.
after you start the x2 again it will ask you if you want to retry applying the customizations> there's the no button you'll have to tap on!!!

Can someone tell me how to change Vodafone Compact from German to English in a simple way and not refering to other pages I look them all but couldn't do it I got the Rom plus MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file what is the use of this file.
When you say you have the rom, do you have the executable ROM upgrade file? If yes, use a program like winrar to unpack the exe file. Place the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in the same folder as the MaUpgradeUt.exe file. Sync your VPA and wait for activesync to stop. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program. That should be it.
It's pretty hard to mess up the VPAs, just give it a try.
Thanks a lot I have nothing to loose I have to give it a try even I have to loose it I can't use because my German is ZERO the question I downloaded the rom and the MaUpgradeUt when I double click on the Icon it makes automatic instelation what about if I syncronise I just use the rom without MaUpgradeUt will work Thanls
If you just try to install it it will fail because the country code for the rom is different then the country code for the phone. Unpacking the update and using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe bypasses the country code check and will let you install roms from other regions.
Thanks verey much Buddy it works finally the first time it gives Country error then every thing went dead the secound time it went through since I am putting arabic rom some of the were not OK and was asking for re instulation I tried to do it again to install those files but it keep giving Country error for 4 time I gave up and I am happy of what I got thanks to YOU

So please post the process previuos flashing for me.
Thanks in advance
ans also thanks machinagod for help everything
Hello, thanks for this. I presumed it worked fine for you?
I was wondering, is there some way to flashing it back to original? I mean, if i want to flash back to the o2 rom? Is that possible, and if so, how? I have not seen the o2 rom anywhere yet??
Can you tell me what you found to be the biggest difference in the new rom? Is there momre included software?
need not to unlock cid first, it can overwrite the original german rom.
FOR can
not get the german rom. therefore, cant write back to german rom.

Hi.
I tried this procedure on my Norwegian Qtek S200 with ExtROM 2.10.7.108. It all went fine until the phone started flashing. At 1% I got an error message on PC, which I don't remember, I clicked Exit and the update program stopped and nothing more happened on the phone. I restarted the phone and now the display only shows a red/green/blue screen and absolutely nothing happens. Phone won't start anymore.
Anyone who can help me out? Is there any way to flash the ROM from from SD-card? Help...! ;-\
Thanks, OrvarK

If you are still having the problem please take out the battery and wait ca. 3-5 secs and reinstall it back again. After doing this you can power up your device once more. And it should fine.

If you flash an OS only ROM, and us soft/jump SPL, it'll always be recoverable.
where i can find the romupdateutility.exe?
i already download the version in english, but when it's going to start the process appears the legend "ID ERROR", what can i do??
You'll need to use Hard/Soft SPL.

I've run Buzz ExtRom unlocker tool with success, but now I dunno what to do to install this cab.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks

Try to copy all that you need to have into the extended rom folder, inclusive of the config.txt file (make sure the parts that you want are referred to in this txt).
Do a hard reset and let your device customize automatically.
If it does not work, try with all original extended rom files.
Ok, so it can't be installed like any programs... you need to install them at the same time as the rom after a hard reset.
Damn, should have asked before then, now I have so many things installed...
I guess I'll try to find another way before trying this.
Thanks anyway for your reply!

With some you can, with others you cannot. I think it has got something to do with loading the certificates first before you can install the signed versions of the cabs in the ex-rom.
You could try to install the certificates cab (is you can find which one that is) and then install the signed cab after it.
Let us know if and how it works!
Bon Success!
I should be able to find a cert cab somewhere... that's a good idea, I'll try this and let you know.
Thanks :wink:
Well I have installed two cert cabs :
Cert_SPCS.cab (from LokiWiz tools)
and PP_Certificate_OR_Jan23_Wizard.cab (from Orange Ext Rom)
But nothing changed before and after soft reset
I don't understand why adding this screen rotate icon on tray is signed...
The other cab I want to install is the PVplayer used for live TV.
Must be a simple way to install those cabs.

I should try this then, so I have to make the Ext rom folder appear with Buzz tools, then copy what I want in it and hard reset right?
Try this one.
PVP player does not work with my dopod rom.
Wow thanks, it worked this time and I have now that screen rotate thing in my tray bar... great !!!!
How did you do this, did you took it from another extrom? or did you signed it somehow?
anyway, about PVPlayer, I suceeded to install one (in attachement), but I need to pass through pocket IE and Orange web to click on a live tv link (then I think it open the pvplayer).
But it didn't worked with the one I installed, I guess something was missing to make the link between IE and PVP
That's why I wanted to try the cab in orange fr extrom (also in attachment).
Well anyway, thanks you very much for the above cab that worked, at last I have the screen rotate on Today screen !!

No, it comes standard unsigned with the NL Orange ex-rom.
Glad it worked out for you.
Hi, me again on this topic...
So I have modified the ext rom so that at the hard reset it could install that cab (which I have attached to my last post):
MP-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-VOICE-PVPLAYER-Orange-FR-060118.CAB
But it seems that it has not worked since I have no PVplayer installed on my prophet... maybe the signature is prohibing the install from ext rom too.
Well, is there anyway to remove the signature of this cab or install a signature on it so that it could be installed on my dopod rom ?
Is there a cert cab I could use to install the sig on the prophet and then install this cab?
sorry if my question seems stupid, quite new on that part.
Thanks
Hey, i got the I-mate JAMin, but there's no config.txt in the EXtRom. ANybody knows the language and the way it should be coded?
not sure about this, I've seen 2 ext rom so far and both had text files config.txt or something...
But that's a bit of topic :wink:

I have the same problem with the Dutch Orange version when installing on the Dopod ROM. It does install, but I get a "non-imaged" icon in my programs folder that gives me a error message when I click it.
I have decided to forget about it all together.
Robin
I've unlocked my Jamin extended ROM and deleted "ALL" the files in it. Then I did a hrd reset and guess what..... all the files were restored.
This means that there is another ROM that the files are stored in even if you delete or cook the ext Rom, hard rest just igores it totally.
I guess i'll just wait for the possibility to go back to the orange rom from the dopod one :?
This message is now updated with a 100% working, and quick way of changing your language for the X2 device. I have now tested with 4 different languages (fi, en, se and de), and all worked. I also updated the cabs to report to the Update Software that the phone has an old versison. Now it does not compalin that the latest version is installed!
I have tested with these languages: GENERIC_FI, GENERIC_SE, GENERIC_UK and GENERIC_DE. The rest of the cabs are created with the same rules, so they should work to (if not, then please post here which cab does not work).
Before you upgrade, please write down the following info and fill it into the form on the download-page!! I really want this info.
I would like to know which all versions are out there, and how they are connected to the different ID:s and versions!
Code:
Software ID:
Software Version:
Customization ID:
Customization version:
Language Region:
Content version Software language:
In what country the phone is bought:
Otherwise i have to put a special form that requires everyone to fill in this info before you can proceed to download..
Just follow these steps
Get one of these cabs, and save it on yout SD-card (not phone, becaue you will erase the memory during this procedure!):
x2_generic_be.cab
x2_generic_cn.cab
x2_generic_cz.cab
x2_generic_de.cab
x2_generic_dk.cab
x2_generic_en.cab
x2_generic_es.cab
x2_generic_fi.cab
x2_generic_fr.cab
x2_generic_gr.cab
x2_generic_in.cab
x2_generic_it.cab
x2_generic_mea.cab
x2_generic_nl.cab
x2_generic_no.cab
x2_generic_pl.cab
x2_generic_pt.cab
x2_generic_ru.cab
x2_generic_se.cab
x2_generic_sg.cab
x2_generic_tw.cab
x2_generic_uk.cab
x2_sony_us.cab
x2_vodafone_es.cab
x2_polkomtel_pl.cab
Save the cab on your SD-card
Reset the memory of your phone (settings->Clear phone)
After the reboot, you have to align the screen. When finished, the phone starts to install cabs. NOW remove the battery (or press the reset-button on the back of the phone) so that the custom cabs wont get installed
Start the phone again. Now when you get a screen that asks you if you want to continut the installation process, click NO. The phone boots up to default windows mobile with no SE panels etc.
Now install the custom language-cab you downloaded to your SD-card earlier
Turn off the phone
Start the phone and keep the vol-down + power button down till you come tho the white SE screen.
Start the SE Update Software, pick your X2 and click next. Connect the phone to the USB-cable when the software asks you to do so.
After a while, the update-software informs that there is a new software-update available. Just hit next/continue and confirm that the phone's data will be erased.
There is NO need to remove any files on windows, The update software starts to automatically fetch the ROM that matches the installed custom-CAB
Now you notice that the update-software starts to download the new ROM (over 125Mb). If for some reason the upgrade does not start to install (eg. one case was with a demo X2 phone), then just let the phone complete the custom cab-installation It does a factory-reset before it resumes the install)
Below are the different language-versions available. I have not yet had time to create cabs for other languages, but if you need a specific language, then post to this thread a request so that i can create a custom cab for that language.
It would be nice if you would report to this thread if you succeed or not with this upgrade!
So, here is a list of available regions that i simply picked up from listigs of ROM:s To get the MR2-release, it has to have been released by SE...
Code:
Belgium - GENERIC_BE
Czech - GENERIC_CZ
Danish - GENERIC_DK
Dutch - GENERIC_NL
English (Generic) - GENERIC_EN
English (UK) - GENERIC_UK
Finnish - GENERIC_FI
French - GENERIC_FR
German - GENERIC_DE
Greek - GENERIC_GR
Indian - GENERIC_IN
Middle East - GENERIC_MEA
Polish - GENERIC_PL
Portuguese - GENERIC_PT
Russian - GENERIC_RU
Singapore - GENERIC_SG
Spanish - GENERIC_ES
Swedish - GENERIC_SE
Taiwan - GENERIC_TW
etc...
Needless to say that you do these tweaks on your own risk
There are two other files that go along with this, and i can confirm that it did not work for me.
ill see if i can get the other file names. but i belive there may be another thread floatinga round that has suggested this as well.
Do you mean this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6522684&postcount=56
The second file contained a readme
12:00 pm 02/26/2010

I guess you are trying to install the russian version, right?
What you showed on the above screencapture is an Uk-version of the X2.
To figure out more precisely what went wrong, you need to confirm to me that you followed all steps i have explained in the first post of this thread.
i gave my phone back to the seller because it was prototype version of the x2

Cancel the installation of the cabs after aligning the screen?
Install the generic_ru cab?
I did this, and i had an russian x2 with the latest R3A software...
So my opinion is that you gave back a great phone!
.

I had a couple of times that the update did not work on the first time. What i did was that i rebooted the phone, and when it asked if i want to continue the cancelled update-process i answer yes. Now the phone asks you to accept a reset. After accepting, the phone reboots, and you are at stage one again when the phone asks you to align the screen. Again when finished, cancel the update-process by removing the battery.
Now install your generic_XX cab (download a fresh copy of it!).
Now reboot your phone at least one time. What you could do is paste the content of the following files (you can get to them via ActiveSync):
\windows\swVersionCust.txt
\windows\swvercust.txt
\windows\swVersionProduct.txt

Thank you for your solution, i think soft-reset after installing cab is mandatory.
All work as you describe, I've just flashed my X2 from English to Russian.

Great to hear that this worked I have now for fun installed 5 different languages
Spanish Cab
Thank you for the amazing work.
Is posible get the spanish cab for the procedure ??
Regards,
Eric
thanks hertell
since we don't have SPL yet, I suggest this thread being stickyed
Some suggestions:
1.- a spanish CAB ??
2.- many users vahe tryed and tryed everything before with no success, which means their PC SEUS SOFTWARE IS ALREADY MARKED with their current I-wanna-get-rid-of language. this prevents the installation of a new language...
May I suggest you to include anohter step into your guide:
UNINSTALL SEUS FROM THE PC and reinstall it after the lang CAB has been installed
OR
delete folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db

Regarding the re-installation of SEUS, or deleting the files, i say that that's pointless. I have not done that, and i can install any of my tested languages directly without having to every time download them... SEUS can even resume nicely uncomplete downloads!
I think that the Spanish language has not yet been released, but as soon that will be released, then i'll create a new cab for with spanish language.
There is one thing that puzzles me, and I would like to know a bit more about what they mean (This is an example from the GENERIC_UK rom):
Software Id: 1230-2799
Customization Id: 1231-4909
Customization Version: R22A
What do these values mean? I would apreciate if someone could explain me more in detail, and if someone could point me to a complete, then that would be even better!
If this is some kind of flavour of each specific language, then it's not a big deal for me to create a custom cab for each of these flavours.
I just added two Spanish cabs: Standard + Vodafone. With this you can change your language to Spanish. Currently there is no spanish MR2 release, but you should get the spanish previous version installed.

Man I just want to tell you that you have done an amazing job.
Thanks!!
Thank you!!
My phone is currently in Europe as i did not want to risk "bricking" it myself: better to blame someone else if it happens But you have some pretty clear instructions so if I were to do it myself, I dont think that I would have a problem.
I sent this as a link for a more experienced tech to follow and make the change from Czech to English.
Unfortunately I do not know the the answers to the questions that you recently posted on your first post in this thread but as soon as i get it back I can try to find out what I can: albeit it will already be too late because it would have been changed already.
Anyways thank you again so much for figuring this out. Dealing with SE is so frustrating: "you bought the phone in Slovakia therefore it is not meant to be used anywhere else." WHAAAAA??!?!?!? Darn SE... have some product support for once.
hi hertell,i try to change language to my xperia but every time it return vodafone spain.I try with generic_it and generic _es but seus upgrade evry time firmware vodafone
So, the same problem with "You phone already has the latest available software installed" with only button "Exit" in SEUS.
Trying all variants described there with no luck....
hi i recently came across the new RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_4.05.401.02_Radio_5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE rom which is the europe unbranded mango rom i successfully flashed my o2 uk rom to this update without using any of the hspl flashing techniques so this way will remain updateable even through zune so here goes
Step 1- download this rom http://www39.multiupload.com:81/fil..._5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar.zip
Step 2- extract this rom 2 a folder and name it something like update part 1
Step 3-download this file http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo.../ModelID.fig&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155707623901
Step 4- download this mango rom http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo..._RELEASE.exe&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155708495051
Step 5 extract the rom you downloaded in step 4 to a folder named update part 2 then drag the modeid file you downloaded in step 3 into your update part 2 folder
Step 6 flash your phone using the romupdateutility exe file in your 1st update folder at the end of this u will receive an error 270 dont panic as this is supposed to happen
Step 7 now time to flash again go to your update part 2 folder this time and click on the romupdateutility exe file and allow it to flash at the end of this you will have a fully unbranded mango 2 rom on your phone with all the updated radios
would also like to think ansar and petbede as parts of there discoveries was used in this guide hope this helps
Trying now, it worked for me to go to NoDo thnks to Petbed. I tried the oter methods to get Mango Final on mine by kept saying invalid vender ID so here goes....
Yes seems to work this way tx...daryld

Great Guide Daryld, Just thought id point out that anyone who is happy to have the HSPL can download DFT's new 7720 build, it is completely unbranded (have an O2 HD7 myself)
Great and simple way to also unbrand your phone
hi guys! quick question - the 2nd one is an application, so where does it extract to? I cant find a way - unless I need a rom extraction utility?
hi jragar if you have winrar just right clight on it and click open wif winrar it will show you all the files then drag them 2 a new folder hope this helps

you learn something new everyday - brilliant mate, never knew about winrar opening exes!
how strange, now I get device not found error 260.
May try rebooting laptop
r u sure u r putting ur phone in bootloader mode u need to do this before flashing and u can do this by turning ur phone completely off then holding the the volume down button only while pressing the power button on u shud see a tricolour screen then when you go to flash it should recognise ur phone let me know if this helps
There may be a misunderstanding occurred.
Try to rename filename and extension from "ModelID.fig" to "ModelID.bmp" (quote not include).
You will see a real file of ModelID.fig..
It's just image not hardware id.
The real hardware id was specific into the Rom in the offset 0x0220.
Quite painless and looks good - installed no issues so far.
does this method require y device to be unlocked ?
I guess doing this way you lose all your side-loaded apps including chevron unlock?
Future Updates?
Does this allow standard updating via Zune? Or will we have to put on the original mango carrier roms when and if they become available?
I followed this and it worked a treat top post
only problem I have is some of my app purchases seem to be lost.....e.g. I paid for PES2011 and now it shows up with the BUY which I am reluctant to click in case I pay twice....any ideas?
I can't find the Modeid file?
When I open up the file in step 3 the files in there are as follows:
RomUpdateutility.exe
Enterbootloader.exe
RUUgetinfo.exe
Rapitool.exe
RUUresource.dll
Readme.doc
RUU_signed.nbh
SPL_Signed.nbh
Enterusb.fig
Enterbattery.fg
Romupdateutlity.cfg
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry ignore my post, about 10 seconds after posting my computer decided to work so got it now thanks

Its fine just click buy and it says its already purchased and then download. The real pain is as you would expect flashing the rom you wont have any saved games but its a small price to pay. Your xbox achievements remain
bing voice stopped working
Guys I now have an issue using Bing voice and speaking and out loud. Keeps saying server not available right now...or words to that effect. Any ideas?
Yeah having the same issue here
