Hi!
I just ordered a MDA II from Germany, and willing to know more
As my country flag indicates, I'm from Finland, and I think the OS' language is german.
How can I update it to english? Will it work with my service provider? (sonera)
I've never had a one single pda, so I'm a big newbie in these things.
Of course I know about the computers more than an average person , but pda's are a mystery to me.
I tried to search some topics about updating,
and found lots of them, and learned a lot too.
But the topics I found did not consider changing the OS's language,
and that's a crucial thing for me, since I don't understand german at all
I would appreciate any help you can give
Thanks!
The language is changed with the update.
If you install a WWE (World Wide English) update your machine will be english.
You might need to change the header info using Er2003edit to let MDA2 think, that you install a german OS.

If you want an easy and secure way, then just wait until HTC releases the official WM6.
However, i have the WWE rom on my unlocked P3300 (original TMO Dutch). Read through that topic, it's quite straight forward and easy to do.
is there a posisbility to get the WWE rom in german???
I simply installed the O2 Image on my unlocked TMob MDA C III... Works fine and no problems during the upgrade.
Anybody have WM6 for dopod c720w I need it for my smartphone?
Thank you very much

AFAIK, T-Mobile Dash, Dopod 720w and HTC S620 are the same hardware except for outer casing and keyboard. They can share same software but their distributors have set a check: you are allowed to upgrade only if the CID code of the upgrade matchs the one on the device.
The easier way to CID unlock you device is to pay someone (like http://www.imei-check.co.uk/dashunlock.php) to do it. It's somewhat expensive ($38) but there wasn't any problem with anyone so far. As a bonus, it also SIM unclock your mobile.
When you pda is unlocked, just find (its easy) the T-Mobile upgrade file. (a pretty large exe file) and run it. That's all, 5-25 min later you will have an PDA running WM6... and branded with T-Mobile crap.
I have this device, but I'm waiting for the official HTC S620 upgrade wich should be released between june 15th (official press date - pleeeaaassee) and mid october (as said by technical support).
Hope this helps.
I have a c720w as well, and I am waiting for the HTC s620 rom. It will have less crap than T-Mobile's version and should be better.
Is there no other way to CID Unlock your phone than to pay for it? Will it void my warranty?
does anyone have a link the original WM5 ROM for the dopod c720w?
i have WM6 on it now and i think WM6 is crap, i need to go back to WM5.
You can get the WM5 rom from Dopod's members area..
the dopod site is all in japanese i think...cant find an english version...can you post a link to an english site or better yet a l ink to the ro m?
Go to www.dopodasia.com, or better, go here http://www.dopodasia.com/global/index.html
It lets you choose your country. I am surprised you can't see it.
its askin for a serial number before it lets me download anything. and i have an HTC cavalier not the dopod c730...can anyone post a link for me to download the original 730 windows mobile 5 please....
or post the serial of a 730 dopod

Well, I have a friends HTC s620 that he wants WM6 on. We SIM & CID unlocked through GSM Liberty & tried to install the bootloader...no go! Anybody have a clue as to what I need to do now? Have tried searching this & other similar forums, but no solid answer. Anyone?

I think you really need to figure out which device you are using seeing as thought you have mentioned both the Dopod c720 and c730 which are two different devices. the c720 is WM5 native and can be upgraded to the T-Mobile Dash WM6 rom after CID unlocking. The Dopod c730 (HTC Cavalier) is a WM6 native device and therefore there is NO WM5 rom for it!

Well, my HTC S630 (Cavalier), for an instance, has WM5 ROM on it. I have pre-production handset. received back in December 2006.
As far as I am aware HTC Cavalier WM6 downloadable firmware files have not been made available for public acess yet. Am I wrong here?
On an unrelated note, seeing as this is a Dopod thread and there aren't many here, does anyone know how to disable xT9 on the c720? No, the alt-space trick works only for the Dash and apps like DashConfig do not disable it.
Has anyone found a way?

It's becuse you have a pre-production device that you have WM5. When Dopod officially anounced this device it was WM6 only.

CID status
Hi,
I just bought a single Dopod c720w in Hong Kong, without any contract. How can I find out if my device is CID locked?
If not, it shouldn't be a big thing to update to WM6 with a T-mobile or HTC rom (if available), or?
Greetings from HK
Chris
I just tried to download the T-mobile upgrade file, to test whether it works with my c720w (still the problem, how do I know if it's CID locked?).
Couldn't get that far, because you need a 10 digit tmo number! Though I have a german t-mobile number, it won't work. Are there any "standard numbers" or so, or any other way to get to the file?
Hi,
I would like to use the WM6 update wich is now available on the Dutch T-mobile website. The thing is, when I just received my MDA VArio II I decided to move abroad. Therefore I needed to unlock my phone to use it with another provider (yoigo, Spanish)
T-mobile was charging a lot for the un-lock code so I tried a remote on I-mei unlocker wich I bought on the Internet. Worked perfectly
Question is, is my phone still unlocked when I upgrade to Windows Mobile 6?
I would have to say Yes it should Still be Unlocked. Also If you Check the Stickies inthe Upgrading Forum for the Hermes you can see a FREE that's right a FREEEEEE Unlocker for SIM and CID of Your phone. If you Feel like for watever reason your Phone Is Still Locked After the Upgrade. Unlock it Again with the Free Tool Posted on this Site By the Many Avid Users of the Hermes And Gurus of the Forums. HOpe I helped
The phone will still be sim unlocked after you upgrade to the T-Mobile WM6.
And if not then you can allways unlock it again using the free tools mentioned here.
FREE sim and CID Unlocker
Good Luck And Read up ....
HEEEELP!
A headake made short :
I got a HTC Diamond 2... bought it in Norway, and gave it away as a wedding gift to a friend abroad.
He lives in Romania and those bastards have not yet started delivery there...
The bithces i Norway are f***ing commies, they won't hand out an english version of the ROM without shipping the phone back to Norway and blah blah... I give a **** about warranty, but desperately need an english or even Romanian of the ROM, or an d.i.y. guide to hvow in the world I can make the guy understand anything of the phone....
I do own an Diamond and HD, but use iPhone because of the job....
tried flashing with OliNex's Diamond (regard: first version) flash utility but the **** won't work on a Diamond 2....
Anyone got any clues?
I'll be grateful if ya'll can help!
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Yes there are English and other languages ROM available that are cooked, not official ones but they do work well. You have plenty of choices from WM6.1 to WM6.5.
Look under this same old forum, but under the topic of Topaz which is the same as Diamond 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
You have to apply the Hard SPL first before you can even mess with the ROM change. Without Hard SPL, you cannot flash the ROM.
