O2 XDA Zinc rom upgrade - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi all,
I have a O2 Zinc which is a chinese version. I'd like to flash it to a English version, any1 know how to do so?
I have both the chinese rom and english rom. The program checks the language of the phone, so i couldn't do it by running the english rom installer.
is there any way to cheat?

buddy, i might not be able to help you but can you tell me from where you got the ROM, coz i don't know whether Zinc is Wizard, Hermes or what... i tried both of them but couldn't flash
can u pls help me

any possible sources that can be outlined?

It is made by ASUS, you can find "Asus" in registry.
I'm looking for the way to upgrade the Rom from Chinese to English as well.

Hi, having just read your other posts, I must point out a few things to you.
1 - This forum is for phones made by HTC the reason this site is called XDA Developers is because o2 were the first company to release their products, and o2 re branded them.
2 - (Due to point 1) There will NOT be a forum for the Zinc as it is made by Asus
3- You can NOT flash a ROM for anything made by HTC to a Zinc. And it sounds like you would have big trouble if you tried anyway, for example G3/G4 can only refer to a Wizard or Prophet made by HTC.
4 - There is a lot of stuff on this site which is good for non HTC products, so people who own a Zinc will still be hanging around, and may eventually post a new ROM, however if it requires unlocking etc... is another matter

im still confused...
anyway tnx dude..
is it worthy if i trade my o2 zinc with dopod 838 pro..
i've read a lot of mods with dat HTC...
pretty interesting unlike zinc...
I just made a mistake of getting zinc.
or maybe i just dnt know what to do...

Is it possible to change ROM from Dopod Chinese to English?

My father has recently visited Taiwan and picked up a Dopod 900 from a street shop for a pretty cheap price. Now, I'm wondering whether it's possible to change the ROM to *any* English ROM, since I'm not that great at reading Chinese. I'd also prefer not to have a brick after the process.
Input, anyone? Thanks.
i am looking for exactly the same , plz help
sorted use the special rom on wiki.xda site follow instructions (specialyy about boot loader ) and viola u will have a lovely o2 dopod
I am a newbie here. Can anyone post the link for Dopod 900 english rom? And if possible please guide me with the upgrade .
Thanks alot
Dopod didn't make English ROM , now in here only English ROM can be use was I-mate, go to wiki and get the ROM from there and flush it your Dopod will become Dopod/I-mate , have fun

Worth trying??

I have a o2 xda exec. I read the forum and some people found problems on upgrading their roms to dopod chinese rom. I haven't tried the steps yet and I just wonder is the process reversible and is it easy to do? I read that someone could not even start the xda. Thx

I don't know why and don't understand why someone can't flush Rom , it work for my O2 Exec and Dopod 900 , if you worry to do this , I will say wait next O2 come with New ROM , if you can't start the Exec than you can flush back O2 rom or return to O2 just say to rom you upgrade new rom get the problem.

First, all Dopod versions of Cavalier are bilingual (chinees and english), you can change language in settings.
The Dopod ROM on WIKI is a Hong Kong ROM.
Cheers
Still No joy
Thanks ibeqa. I understand that.
I have a 1.16.707.7 English ROM while the HK Rom is 1.16.708.7. But it fails to upgrade with an invalid vendor id error(Error 294). Few folks at HO FO is using the 1.16.708.7 without any issues. wonder how....

Yes, I,m using that ROM too but forgot to change the signature.
I have a question, do you have a HTC S630, Dopod C730 or the Softbank version? Can you tell me your phone specs from device information. FYI there is no "free" CID unlock for Cavalier right now and you could brick your device if you flash the wrong ROM.
Cheers
Dopod C730
I have a Dopod C730 bought from Singapore.

Did you register your phone on Dopod (HTC Asia) Singapore. If not, try that and check if the rom for Singapore has the same numbers.
Cheers and Happy New Year
Hmmm
Already registered. The only ROM available is the RUU_Cavalier_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.16.707.7_1.43.50.00_108_Ship.exe in the site, which I already have. Wonder whats the difference between 1.16.707.7 and 1.16.708.7?
Wish you a happy 2008 as well !!!

I think that error 294 is "country error", that is why it won't let you flash HK ROM. Differences between 707.7 and 708.7 are minor, nothing regarding the interface but I would say a bit faster.
Cheers
