[Q] Problem with chinese handwriting (HTC CIME)

It seems the new builds (mdeejay evo/ darkstone 3.1) are missing chinese handwriting
Since new/old biulds are both base on 2.2, i'm planning to copy file from old builds to solve this problem
I think the problem for my is i didn't know which files are related to chinese handwriting, other than HTC_CIME.apk??
I'm not good at this, tell me if i'm wrong, thanks!!

[Q] Built in TW but HK rom - what is my original rom?

Hi all,
I was hoping someone can help me with this.
For some reason, my phone is a Taiwan build (707) but came with an HK rom (721).
I found this out when I got in touch with HK due to being unable download
Ship Rom 1.36.721.3 (94538) WWE. They told me I have an unlicensed rom.
So if the phone came with 721 rom, but physical build should have 707, which one do you think is considered by HTC as my phone's original rom?
Your input is much appreciated
Cheers,
curiouser

Email htc and give them your S/N which is under the battery and they tell you about your original rom..... I did that some day ago.

Hi hazhysalon,
been dealing with HTC via online chat
thanks for your reply anyway.
cheers

Sorry about bumping this old thread.
But I've got the exact same isuue, and am curious what HTC told Curiouser [] about the awkward situation of the smart-phone.
May I ask what did they tell you Curiouser?

Hi,
The build is the rom, so TW in my case, and prob yours. Don't know how or why, but the reseller was able to put the HK rom on top of the TW one
It's ok, since you can still update the rom (I'm using nsourm still)
I forget the actual process now but you should be able to find the guide in the threads here.
I would advise you, though, that the process might revert the phone back to the orig TW rom, which is Chinese.
I don't know Chinese, so it would help you if you took screen shots of the process while it's still in English. That way, if it does go back to Chinese, the buttons remain in the same spot so you can still wing it.
Have fun.

Wow! Didn't expect a fast reply! Thanks a lot Curiouser! Both for the fast reply and the reply itself.

Xoom MZ604 WiFi UK with (US GED) rom questions

Hi everyone, i have just got my self a Xoom MZ604 WiFi UK version and i want to flash the US GED firmware but before i do i would like to know the answers to a few questions regarding the US rom.
1) Does the US firmware contain English UK language?
2) If i flash the US firmware will i then get future OTA updates directly from Google? eg: GED OTA firmware updates.
3) Do i really need to unlock/lock the bootloader to flash the US firmware.
Thanks!

1) Yes
2) Yes (as long as you stay stock and relock the bootloader)
3) Yes
If i'm wrong about any of the above please correct

You don't need to relock the boot loader.
I remember reading it is recommended not to re lock..

I did exactly what you've described - bought a UK wifi MZ604, flashed it to US 'GED' with US stock (HWI69) software. I then received the Honeycomb OTA updates up to HTK75D (3.2.1). I've now patched to ICS 4.0.3 using the Moto soak build test file (USB host / USB method).
You don't need to relock the boot loader. And the build contains UK English keyboard but only US English language. There are only 3 language options - US English, Spanish & French. That is what I saw in both HTK75D and IML77.

Is the market in dollars or pounds?

Pounds

I also have MZ604 from UK, I have flashed HWI69 before - bootloader was unlocked and relocked after I have finished with updating.
Then all OTA update came automatically. Since then I have been using Team EOS ICS ROM - which I had to unlock the bootloader again.
Now I'm on ICS IML77 - I used the stock ROM from stachre which I have flashed with CWM. No problem at the moment.

Thanks for the input guys, i flashed the US rom and found, as said above, that English UK language is not present, the English UK keyboard is though, so i went back to stock, i think i'll wait a while to see if if the UK gets an official ICS update.

is there any difference to english US 'language' and using the english UK keyboard layout?
i haven't noticed any problems yet... back in the old days of 3.1/3.2 there were some issues with the external BT keyboard but then we didnt have english UK as a keyboard option then...
I'm more than happy using the UK xoom with US image, so curious to see what the difference is

I suppose spelling colour as color etc, no biggie!

on the US GED version?
I know there was some fixes to push in custom keyboard layout, I think 3.2 had the UK language first but I didnt think 3.1 did...?

Wouldn't using UK keyboard take care of that. I am in India where we follow UK English as well. Just flashed US ROM on my MZ604, installed SwiftKey Tablet keyboard and selected the correct language nd colour is now colour and realize is realize.

I thought you were referring to US GED 3.2.
To be fair, when I stuck the US GED rom on my UK wifi Xoom, it upgraded itself all the way through to 3.2 before I got a chance to play with it, so I don't know what 3.1 had. 3.2 definitely had the UK keyboard though.

Firmware BL=4 ... Is there a solution for french language ?

Hi everybody,
I m thinking about selling my Milestone 2 after 3 years of devotion !
(I d like to get a more powerfull phone... Would love to find one with physical keyboard, but it's very difficult to find one with an azerty version - It's only for US market generally Droid 4, Photon Q... - so i think I will take a Nexus 4 wich have an interesting price.. I talk, I talk, but it's not the point !)
So, to sell it , I d like to put it back in original configuration.
Unfortunately after many flashes, I m today on a BL=4 Firmware (Claro Argentina)
And I d like to put it in french language with an original ROM, but I think thoses Latam ones, don't have these language (I tried somes and it's english / spanish).
Can someone confirm there is no BL=4 Rom with french language ?
If I well understood, I have no chance to downgrade form BL4...
so what are my opprtunities, to get back the phone closer its original configuration with french language ?
Thanks per Advance fior your help

What about modifying an GB SBF from france, deleting everything except the /system partition, and flashing it back?
You can do that with Moto android depacker.
That wouldn't mess up your kernel or your BL, and still have support for french language and azerty keyboard.
Just thinking out loud here.
Good luck.

If it works it's a terrific idea (didn't know it was possible...)
just one question.
I have just to keep CG39 for system.
I can replace all the rest with the French GB SBF, and finally compile my sbf to flsh it.
that's it ?
Thanks a lot

You don't need to flash anything else besides /system, just create a SBF with only that partition from the French sbf.
And yep, I think that's it.
Good luck, remember to keep an unmodified sbf to flash just in case.

using update.zip
is it necesary to create an sbf? can i use a update.zip with /system on it (and nothing else)?

btw you can pick photon q buttons one by one so i got a nice qwertz photon q

Hi , I just tried to do this operation.
There 's something I don't understand. I can't rebuild a sbf , only with CG39.smg with Moto Android Depacker.
So tried to replace the CG39.smg from Claro Latin America version (the BL=4) with the french CG39.smg. and then rebuild a new sbf...
But doesnt see to work, THe phone shows the moto logo and nothing then...
Any Idea ?
did I do something wrong ?
Thanks per advance

Sorry to up (it's not in my habit) but I really need to know if I can put my phone in original config but with french language...
Is there a way to flash a rebuilt sbf with french language knowing I m already in BL=4 (cause I flashed the phone with CLARA LATAM rom)
Thanks per advance.

HTC U Ultra with no English UK language selection

Hi all,
First post here so please be gentle. I have been an HTC fan for many years and I have just bought my wife and I each the U Ultra. I noticed in the language selection there is no UK English only US English. Our phones are the International dual sim version either Taiwan or Hong Kong, I am not entirely sure. Is there a way I can install UK English on to my phone? I have had the recent OTA Oreo update.
Many thanks
Chris

Yes. If your rom doesn't active this language by default so we need add manually

For now, these is no rom for you. If you can give me your phone's system dump, i can make a rooted version for you.

It is OK thanks, I have managed to get a fix.
I installed MoreLocale2, accessed usb debugging, ran a batch file to override permissions and selected the correct language region from the MoreLocale2 app list.
Thank you for your help.
