Hi
I am planning on purchasing a XDA III , MDA III , Qtek 9090 (which ever you may prefer to call it) from a Chinese lady. Problem is the language for this device is in Chinese. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the language of this device to English? I would obviously like to know this before I buy it from her.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
I reckon, it is the same with all HTC PDAs: the language depends on the installed ROM, which can be changed by flashing. Advantage: being in this forum you'll also be able to get the newest version of the net for free (except time you spent).
Hey i just worked on mine. WORKS! I bought mine brand new from O2 which is a chinese version CHT. I flashed it to WWE Make sure you TRY to put your SIM card in before (if you are there with her) to make sure there's no SIM LOCK. If there is , you'll have to find a HELL way to unlock it. I think the IMEI will always and forever be uNlocked if your phone was sold originally UNLOCKED such as most chinese versions.
Thanks and hope it works!
Excellent. thanks to the both of you. Just had to clear that up.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to all this and being a female I'm just confused with what I need to do!
I have an XDA IIi that I got from O2 in the uk a year ago and now I live in NZ and need to have it unlocked so that I can use an NZ sim card in it. O2 uk want to charge me for it so can I get it unlocked for free? :roll:
I so how, (and in plain english too as I'm not very good at all this technical stuff!)
Thanks for all you help
Cheryl :wink:
Use the search link at the top of the page. It's been mentioned many many times before.
Or if you prefer the old manual way look in the Alpine section.
Hi
I am about to buy a New Orange German SPV M2000 from a Orange shop in Switzerland which is simlocked to use in Switzerland at a very good price.
I would like to know if it is possible to change the language with a rom upgrade and also if I unlock the phone I can use the preconfigured email profiles on a different simcard.I intend to use a English Vodafone and a Danish TDC simcard with the phone.
I would be grateful for as much info as possible because I know very little about this mobile.
I also want to be sure that I can use the phone for what I need it for before I finally purchase the phone.
Regards Brian
So difficult just to give a little help

Hi again
Come on someone just give a little help.
I asked a simple question about unlocking and changing the language on a SPV M2000.
I do not think it is rocket science what is involved so a little advice would be helpful. I am sure you would expect the same.
Regards Brian

Anybody know where I can get an English version of the HTC P3300 in the Netherlands?
T-Mobile is going to be offering the phones for free, but they are only in Dutch.
Is there a way to change the operating system on it without messing up the whole phone?
Suggest to have a look at the pdashop.nl or smartphoneshop.nl
They offer the HTC P3300 EN with T-Mobile Contact (which will also give you the benefits of cheap phones..)
Ooops, only the Tytn is one of the recent models in EN. But it is maybe an idea to contact them with the question, their support is quite good.
At expansys.nl they have it (but no contracts as far as I can see)
Thanks for the reply
pdashop.nl wants 198- Euro w/ the Flex 40 2 year contract from T-Mobile.
I would be able to get the phone for free in a couple of weeks with the same contract
I guess the next step is to figure out how to change language on it without making it a paper weight.

Save yourself the hassle by by the language version you prefer from start. I had to buy mine from expansys.nl for the full price
Agree, go with the Expansys.nl - no hassle!
Any success?
Hi Longhair, Did you manage to find the HTC P3300 in English? I am actually looking for the same item and here in the Netherlands I found only NL software so far!!!
Please let me know... and let's share resources!

Hi,
I'm using an Himalaya (XDA O2II). I'm going to buy a Softbank X01T (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=769) or Toshiba G900 (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=707) from Japan. They actually are the same with different brand names.
They are the next generation of Softbank X01HT - HTC Hermes 200 (http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=651)
I have some questions:
- Are they considered as Hermes?
- Is there any English ROM for it yet? The one I'm going to buy should be in Japanese
- Do you think the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker which works on X01HT will work on X01T/Toshiba G900?
Hope anyone can help to answer
Thanks a lot

Its not made by HTC, so no way is it a Hermes. The next generation of the Hermes is the E-monster (Kaiser) put out by e-mobile. I wouldn't think any of the unlocking options for the Hermes would work on the X01T, so don't expect them to work. Flashing a Hermes ROM could most likely brick the X01T, so I wouldn't recommend you try.
Why Softbank? Check out the E-Mobile Kaiser ( https://store.emobile.jp/spec_emonster.php ) much more fun, I'm sure!!
Try this forum for a start for info on the X01T anyway: http://mobgad.ath.cx/modules/xhnewbb/index.php
There's been ONE guy out there that has successfully flashed his Japanese Softbank X01T ROM to English. The link is here. http://myg900.com/index.php?showtopic=700
But be careful. I bricked 2 X01T's following his instructions. I'd just get a pimped out 3G phone in English or an unlocked G900. Don't get an X01T. It'll save you hundreds of bucks.
Thanks hamster0914 and flint24 for your info. I prefer to buy an unlocked G900 in English. Do you know where I can buy 1 in Japan? I've searched http://www.expansys.jp/, but it's strange that they stop selling it
that's ok in my country INDONESIA there was many people use SOFTBANK X01HT, and sucsesfully unlock...^^
Were the phones unlocked by the dealers or the manufacturer or by the buyers?

I too have successfully changed to an English rom on the X01T (Toshiba G900) and so have a few others. (Thanks to other people's hard work)
However, finding out the Softbank internet modem connection settings to get back on the internet isn't so easy, although the rest of the phone works fine.

Hi i am new to this so im after some advice,any help is most appreciated! i have just been given an xda ignito which seems to be sim free i have a 3 sim working in it but for some reason all the phones functions work except for the normal internet,wi-fi works fine! does anyone know why this is? in the options data connectivity is very dull and unable to access it at all.i am very interested in removing all the o2 stuff from the phone first though i think from what i have read i need to flash the phone so any help on doing this with a proper unbranded rom would be handy?
Hi
If you are going to use three sim card then I think you need to look into Touch Diamond CDMA [correct me ppl if I am wrong], otherwise if using GSM sim card like O2 then this is the correct place.
I had the same question before, have a look here.
But be careful and read --> A L L <-- the stickies before doing any thing that might brick your phone.
Good luck
I have an Orange branded Diamond and an O2 branded diamond, The O2 one is known as a XDA Ignito.
Same phone different backings to them... so its MDA
