Asus A730W-Pocket PC OS FlashROM Update - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have recently bought Asus A730W but everything is in German and I don't know German at all. Please, suggest a link how to change the language of Windows, not only of the newly downloaded applications.

You might want to ask this question at pocketgamer.org...they are the sort-of unoffical asus forums. A730W is a) not made by HTC b) not a phone edition device...

yes.
I haven't upgraded the rom myself, but I have installed that phone firmware upgrade on an australian rom.
And no, I don't know where to get the australian rom - the shop installed it for me and refused to give me a copy.
I found:
P535_V4315_WWE_TH00.rar
and
V4315_WWE_MS00.rar
which one is the newest??
try using an ftp client.
an alternative ftp site, which has the same files:
ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/IA/P535
ok tnks....however,
which one is the newest??
Tnks again!
the one with the highest version number
That would be 4.3.15 for the wwe version.
There's a couple of roms with 4.3.35 version but those are for taiwan and hongkong.
I've seen someone mention that the russian (RU) version has some russian rubbish that you do not want/need, so I suggest you go for the thailand (TH) or malaysia (MS) version.
I have never tried to change rom myself, so I am afraid I am unable to help you if you run into trouble. But please post your results, I want to try it at some point.
so....
TH = Thailand
and
MS = Malesia
????
Both are in english/WWE ???
As I said, I have not done this upgrade myself.
Read the thread I linked to above. It should answer a few questions.
But as I understand it, both of these are WWE yes.

So far in this forum the ROM upgrade was academic.
Here is reality
My P535 is bricked!!
During Rom Update (following all the rules as posted) The process stopped.
It gets stuck on the start menu (Asus Screen).
The Hard reset does not work. ( Reset + Power button).
I can get to the bootloader screen (Power button + right mike(?) button+Reset)
and it just shows a screen with the waiting on.
Anyboby , can you help. Can I do hard reset another way?
It seems that ASUS offers the Rom Update if your ASUS P 535 is running and from the Mini sd card.
All the other Phone PDAs I had before (Qtek 100,s200, O2 atom, HP rw 6828. HTC (Dopod m700) P3300, HTC (Dopod D810) P3600 the bootloader did get the ROM Update file from the PC while in Activ Sync with the USB port. The bootloader in the ASUS products works differently.It does look for the usb connection but the ROM is in the miniSD. Am I doing something wrong?
Can someone point out the error of my ways?
Thanks in advance
I'm sorry to hear that. Very sorry.
I don't know if you did anything wrong. I also have an I-mate K-Jam (HTC Wizard) and it seems easy to recover from a failed upgrade on the wizard.
I haven't seen similar stories about the P535, so don't (yet) know a way to recover from a failed upgrade on the P535. But I will let you know if I find/read about a way to do it.
Maybe you could try contacting the author of the only "homebrew" ROM I know about - his webpage is here: http://norad.shacknet.nu/lifeforce/ and he has a feedback-form for bug reports. He is probably much more experienced with rom updates than I am, so it's worth a try.
(he has also posted an announement for his homebrew rom on xda-dev here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1235311)
I thought the hard reset combo was up+reset...
Maybe it only works if the OS is running - I don't know.
I had an idea:
I tried using the p525 rom tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379) to extract "RomGalaxy.NB0" from GalaxyII.cap, and I managed to extract it:
C:\P525RomTool11>P525RomTool.exe -d GalaxyII.cap
ASUS P525 ROM Tool 1.1
Converting ... DONE, to ROMGalaxy.NB0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But - I have read that the p525 rom tools don't work on p535 roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284379&page=7) - so I don't know if this NB0 file is useless/has the wrong checksum or whatever...
If you want you can try the rest of the procedure (I don't dare trying on my own phone):
- flash this NB0 file via the bootloader as it's described (in step 6) in the p525 thread I mentioned above:
Flash ROMGalaxy.NB0 via bootloader (copy it to SD card root, press "camera" fully, press reset).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe there's another button combo you have to press on the P535 - Maybe the one you use on your P535 to get into the bootloader - I don't know, I'm just guessing.
Maybe the NB0 file needs to have another name - ROMGalaxyII.NB0? I don't know this either.
I guess this wasn't much help... Let's hope someone more experienced than me can come up with something better...
I downloaded that homebrew rom I mentioned: http://norad.shacknet.nu/lifeforce/ today.
It comes with the following install procedure:
Flashing:
1. Disable USB ActiveSync.
2. Push Off button + rec. button + nav. up + reset 5sec.
3. connect the PDA to PC
4. Start AsusUpdateROM.cmd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which means it does not install from an SD card.
Try that one, see if it works.

I don't know if the russian rom has russian menu.
I've seen someone mention that it is mostly english with a few russian add-ons.
But I'm not sure - maybe asus russian website (if it exists) can tell you if the russian p535 has russian or english menus?

It is WWE with some russian add-on, but 99% of the ROM is in english. On the other hand, the device's extrom contains a language extender (in my case this is Hungarian), and it installs during the first booting process along with some network settings. I believe that the russian P535's has the same LENg (of course with russian language).
Read my siggie (signature)...
So where do we stand
Dears
I have the same issue. I have a german Asus P535 and looks like nobody has a solution to change the language.
Anybody interested in exchangin a german phone agianst French or English ?
Thanks

PLZ HELP ME CHANGE LANGUAGE OF MY ASUS p535 to English.

I had bought ASUS P535 in Ukraine, I bought it thinking that its OS is in English but the OS is in Russian language
I tried a lot seeking help from ASUS technical support and as well as Microsoft but none helped I even went to the local service center which deals with ASUS PDAS but they too refused to help.
Actually i have checked recent posts about changing but they date back to march 2007 or older date with older firmware versions from ASUS. I am afraid if i do as they have mentioned then there might be some error because mine is windows mobile 6 professional in Russian.
Here are the details which i find in my Russian OS :-
from MENU -> SETTINGS -> SYSTEM INFORMATION - >
DATE ROM - 2007/7/27
VERSION PZY - V4.7.20RUS_RU00
VERSION BOOT BLOKA - 070416122657
VERSION DOPOLNITELNOGO PZY - V1.9.1 RU00
Please do help me regarding the extact procedure and also which ROM to put in mini SD card.
I want to install English language because i understand it better.
Thanks a lot.

I want to add also my question... How to translate in italian?
This is the reply from senior most member of this forum , atleast whom i can consider as most experienced ! here goes his reply , hope it helps my fellows users of P535 >>>>
Hi
First, all that I will tell you now, applies to P525, that I have and tried myself. While P535 maybe is similar, it also can differ.
To change the OS language, you will need to flash an English (WWE) ROM instead of default russian one.
You can get English ROM update from ASUS support site, but it will refuse to install because of different language. To circumvent it, you use special "unlocklangid' utility or flash ROM via non-standard "bootloader" method. Boths are described in the custom ROM threads in this forum (at least for P525).
To get more help specifically on P535, I recommend you to try asking here - http://asusmobile.ru/board/viewforum.php?f=62
Maybe P535 users will be able to help you.

does anyone who also could help , plz dont hesitate ....

Asus P525 Expert, Please Help!!

Hi, I had try to update the new Extended ROM Version V1.8.3 in Traditional Chinese for my Asus P525 (Traditional Chinese vision), but the firmware does not execute automatically, even though I try execute the Autorum.ext under the folder, it still won't execute. I had been successful upgade to WM6 before, everything works fine. But now, I can't update, Please kindly help me with this issue. Thank you in advance.
Where did you get it?
Official ROMs does not have such thing as "Extension ROM update". Extension ROM gets updated with main ROM update.
p.s. I realize that you may be trying to upgrade the Extension ROM of P525 using a HTC Extension ROM, it is not possible!
Hi, I am sorry for the mistype of rom. I had download the newest vision from TW/ASUS that they release on 12/31/2007, however, I just can't get the Autorum.ext auto start, Please kindly help.
p.s. I had follow the steps on Asus website and all of the update so far at my P525 are from the Asus website as well. But once I click the Autorum.ext, it only shows 自動更新程式 on the top, then nothing happen. I don't see the question 要更新裝置韌體嗎? as they explain on their website.

WM6.1 for Asus P526

Hi All.
Thanks to pArtizAn I have installed WM6.1 on my Qtek 8500.
So me thinks what about getting it on the Asus P526. It appears that there are versions about on the russian, persian and chinese sites.
My question, has any one in UK got this up and running and any advice on the best place ( by that I mean the easiest) to download and install?
I have downloaded Crazybain .rar but it appears to be password protected, and I have also tried to log on to the Russian sites but, I am having problems logging on at present.
Any one have any ideas, suggestions?

İtalian TİM Asus P320 to English

Hi All
i am very new in this handheld business and before i go ahead and crash the device i thought i could get some assistance , i already read some of the threads regarding from french to english and chinese to english.My thing is i just bought this yesterday in italy and once i get started with it . reallized that the whole thing is ,in italian its from a cell provider called TİM in italy.So can anyone guide my step by step what to do in order to make this device all english
İ really appreciate all your help folks
You must download from ASUS 2 firmwares, ENG and CHN.
Extract in your SD the folder 2577 from ENG version
Overwrite autorun.exe in SD\2577 with the one in CHN version.
Put your SD in your p320 and play!!!
The difference is in autorun.exe, chinese version doesn't check language, so you can flash what you want!!!
Thanks i will try it as soon as possible , since i work on a cruiseship , the internet connection is very bad , so first i have to get the chinese firmware since i have the the ENG version , from the CHN version i just need the autorun.exe nothing else right and delete the autorun from the ENG version.
I ll give it a try and post it but really appreciate it
ASUS TIM Italina to English language
Hi
i tried to flash the english.bin using the chinese autorun.exe but it still doesn't work , i even tried to flash the whole chinese 2577 file first to see , if that would make a difference , in the end it still gives failed message (during soft reset) or it tells me to ensure its the same language .
So i am looking for other ways.
Please anymore assistance is needed
thats it
no more help i guess from members of this site , very disappointed , i have spoken finally with Asus here and the advised me to sent the device in they will be loading the mobile 6.1 professional english version for $ 30.
Again thanks for those who at least tried to respond to me
