Dopod P100(Chinese) - how to turn into English? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I just buy Dopod P100(Chinese), it is very good to use,
but can anyone teach me how to change it to English??
Because when I sync with my outlook(English), may calendar's appiontment are duplicate, one in chinese, and one in english, so I need to change it to English.

Same problem Here
For those whom are about to take the journey..
This PDA, NOT A PHONE is also know as:
- Qtek G100
- I-mate PDA-N
- HTC Galaxy
- (and some more)
Me and most people are realy here to change Rom language, so..
I am currently living in beijing and bought mine here, and if there is a place you can find anything, BJ is the place. Below what i have been able to do so far.
- Found a UK Qtek G100 english rom, but got an invalid ID when trying to flash it (dah).
- Wrote to dopod support (china) who were absolutely useless.
- Wrote to dopod (Hong Kong) who said they only supported devices sold in HK.
- Searched High and low for an english rom, but no luck.
- Went to some of shops and asked it they could flash the thing but no one had the rom.
My option now: got the grab_it prog in an SD, and am going to look for an english dopod P100 here in BJ.
Other options:
- I think you Hex edit some files in WM5 to change the interface language (but not sure).
- CID unlock the thing so it can accept any rom file.(tips on how to do that would be greatly appreciated)
- Find a kind soul who was an HK Dopod, and ask them do to download the rom from the HK site. (Singing up requires device s/n verification)
- Hack the Qtek g100 rom so I could flash the Dopod.(not sure how to do that)
Anyway, if anyone has any other ideas or has been sucessfull in flashing the thing please let me know.

Changing Qtek G100 from Spanish into English
Have you found a solution? Mine is in Spanish. I have the english RUU but I get an error message when I try to flash it. I'll be in Beijing at the end of December.

MDA II with german OS, what should i do?

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.

Thanks for help, I'll continue waiting and being hopeful

english rom for dopod 900?

anyone has an english rom for dopod 900?
what can be the problems if i change the language rom, chinese to english? software incompatibility?
Hi,
I bought a Dopod 900 with a chinese ROM and flashed it with the JasJar ROM available on this site.
I did not experience any problems. The dopod bluetooth headset that came w ith my Dopod works fine and I also manage to use the voice commander through the headset to do voice dialing.
Actually the voice works with anything. I made a command for "calculator" to start up the calculator.
I've downloaded the game "Bejeweled 2" and it works fine.
I've experimented with the VGA hack, that works, but I get eye strain.
I've been talking to Dopod Singapore (www.dopodasia.com) about getting an english Dopod ROM from them but am still waiting for a response.
While the JasJar ROM works fine, I want to see what the other ROMs can do.
I havent tried the O2 Exec rom because I do not know how to use the NoID installer with the O2 installer.
With the JasJar ROM, the files were seperate from the executable, if anyone can point me to the O2 Exec ROM files which ARE usable with the NoID installer, please paste the URL here and I'll try that.
Regards
Michael
thanks m8. i am eagerly waiting for my dopod.
but i am still contemplating which might be a better rom
JJ or O2...expert opinion will be appreciated!!
i ve been hesitant to buy the dopod coz all the dealers here in taiwan says there will be some software compatibilty and that they wont be giving me any warranty for the same.
but after coming to this forum, i see thr r ppl like u who have succefully flashed the rom!
but i am a lilttle sckeptical of changing the rom myself. as i am scared something might go wrong(as it is not a cheap toy). i am a total newbie and i dont read chinese at all.
so i will be very grateful if you or anyone can give me a step by step procedure of flashing the rom
thanks in advance
ı bought a dopot which in chinese and than upgrade it to english but ı used meupgrade no id.. but its work greatknow and no proplem.

Qtek 9000 Language to change

Hello All,
I have a Qtek 9000 bought in Portugal and the system is in Portugese. I would like to change it in order to have it inFrench or in English. Is there someone who can explain me how is it possible to do this? Sorry but I am a beginner...
Thank's for all the answers,
Best regards,
Laurent
you have 2 choices.
1. to upgrade with WWE(world wide English) rom.
2. use MUI files and some regtweaks.
check http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=45
didn't test the second option but maybe you can give it a try.
Changing QTEK 9000 Language
Hello,
I've also posted a similar question (but from Spanish to English)
I know how to change it to English but what I wanted to do first was to Backup the Spanish ROM and be able to restore it for warranty purposes if i wanted to have the device serviced becuase the warranty is void if it does have a different ROM installed.
The latter problem, I haven't received any response yet, and am still waiting.
But if it doesn't matter for you to backup the Portugese ROM, just tell me and I'll walk you thru the process.

Qtek 9000 Changing language from Spanish to English

I have a Qtek 9000 purchased in Spain with Spanish ROM. I would like to change this to English. I downloaded a ROM update via Expansys site but it will not load as it reports I am using the incorrect language version. HTC tell me it is not possible. Any ideas please?
Hi,
You are posting in the wrong forum. You will have more success in the Universal forum, which is dedicated to Qtek 9000 and alikes.
Anyway, it is perfectly possible to change your Spanish ROM to English ROM, which would be called WWE (World Wide English).
The only issue is that you need to use a special procedure to overcome the imposed limitation that would normaly prevent you to change the kind of ROM you use.
This is described in the WIKI: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error
Cheers,

Can I get a Taiwanese Dopod c720w working in English?

Hi there,
I am about to pick up a Dopod c720w for 2500 RMB here in China, it's a Taiwanese version with no English.
My question is -- is there some kind of ROM I could install that would give me dual English/Chinese support? Or some other method? I don't want to buy the unit if it's going to be forever stuck in Chinese...
Thanks!
Matt.
*Edit* - Also, I just received a T-Mobile MDA Mail which was a mistake, because it doesn't support WiFi.... the vendor switched me away from the c720w because it didn't have English (and he wasn't even aware that the MDA Mail doesn't have Wifi). So, he'll switch me back to the c720w, but only if it is possible for me to get it running in English (with Chinese support, preferably, so that I can easily view / have friends here type stuff in).
The Dopods in Singapore are Eng+Chinese (config either or)
maybe u can try the ROMs from DopodAsia
I have a Taiwanese one I bought in Taipei. It has both languages installed.
When you CID unlock the phone you can install the rom you want.
mine are hongkong version and support both english and chinesse
try to go to setting press 7 (more) and then 5 (regional setting)
the first row is regional setting and i think it' changeable
those with english + chinese, is it a CHT rom or WWE rom?
