Hello!
Im and others are looking for the possibility to change the language of our hw6915's After reading a bunch of threads I realized that no one has ever hacked the hw6915 (HTC Sable) upgrade process and .nbf ROM update compleatly (You're the one who got the closest).
As you said in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325051&page=3
But now there is a chance for all of the hw6915 users to change the language, cook and play with their phones but it all depends on YOU!
With a huge input of b0ris747 who's hacked the RUU, cooked bunch of ROMs (even though not entirely successfully) and figured out how to change the .nb (raw dumps using pdocread) to flashable .nbf files now wee need a CID unlock tool/instruction.
Its vital for pdocwrite ing the raw backups if anything goes wrong or a method to update a rom. And of course for the RUU ROM updates to work w/o bricking the phones.
As b0ris747 does not have a hw6915 at his disposal Im willing to do all the testing and sending reports.
For now Im considering all the pros and cons about upgrading my Spanish hw6915 to a french orange:
http://www.mobilite.fr.orange-business.com/public/oev4/html/fr/pme/mobiles/ba/dl.php?mi=192&pi=2510
Hoping for the best (just locking my phone to orange not bricking it)
Please give us the info/tool/hack for CID unlocking or any other info we might need for that matter
PM for my FTP's address where you can dump some files
Of course anyone's else input will bee greatly appreciated.

Hi to all!
I'm a new qtek 9000 (dangaard) owner, and i started one week ago to look for tweaks and so on.. so here i am! i red every forum and many, many messages, but none gave me an answer...
Special attention (and thanks) go to buzz for his deep knowledge and tutorials.
My actual goal is to FULLY backup (dump) ALL that is needed to FULLY restore the ORIGINAL (warranty not voided) firmware/software.
To do this i tried 2 methods:
1) task32, d2m from boot loader : NO SUCCESS , usual "not allow operation" message; i have bootloadr 1.0 , so i think is not possible, BUT CAN I DOWNGRADE the loader, dump, and then RESTORE my 1.0 loader ? how to do it (if yes) ??
2) the "pdocread" method: ok, but in the qtek.raw there is NOT MY radio, and so on.... how can i get MY original ones ?
p.s. there is no official upgrade for my qtek yet... so i can't' use it only wity my pdocreaded os...
Thanks a lot to everyone!! and please give me answers )
rom dump
I too would like a simple walkthrough on how to dump Radio , Rom and Extended rom.
Hats off too Buzz and many but I have tried to make sense of various posts and all seem to go off abit for us simple folk.
Does someone out there have answers please to:
1) Can a rom back up (dump) be done.
2) When dump has completed does original rom stay on device or does dumping it mean it's gone from universal completly.
3) Can you save these images and install them back onto universal at a latter date.
If this is possible how? What software do we need to do it?
I want to update the crapy slow rom on my M5000. But to cover my arse I would like the option to restore it to it's factory shipped state if it all goes belly up!
so folks ??
does someone takes care to give us an explanation of all this ??
Hey guys, just PM me... I'm now at work but have made a word document on how to do this adn it's at home.
I also had this dilema... I have a Spanish QTEK and no official ROM so here goes....
1. If you want the .DOC, pm me where to send it - i take no responsibility for the results but will help if you get stuck somewhere or need clarification on the steps.
2. I got the my radio (1.03.00) from the english qtek ROM by copying the radio_.nbf file as radio's are not language dependent (as far as i know). The OS, i created the QTEk.RAW with pdocread, the Extended_ROM i just copied and pasted. That's how I backed-up my device that I can restore again still "under warranty" so to DUMP/BACKUP
2.1 OS : Use pdocread
2.2 Extended_ROM : Just copy and paste
2.3 Radio : Get it from a ROM update with same radio version.
Hope this helps
Hi guys,
I have a newbie question, please.
I read something about ROM is language dependent.
My O2 XDA2 has a ROM version 1.03.00 USA, can I do an upgrade to a 1.72.187 UK version? If no, is there an US version upgrade available? where can I find it?
Thanks for any help.
Alex,
Hi all,
Firstly I would like to thank the moderators for providing such a great site.
Secondly I am hoping someone can give a real answer to my question.
I have an XDA Orbit phone with German (GER) ROM v1.25.207.1. I would simply like to change this ROM to an English (ENG) version, keeping all the same features I have (eg WIFI, GPS), just using the english language.
I have seen many posts about upgrading the ROM to a generic one, which as I understand it means I have to goto imeicheck.co.uk to purchase an unlock code. This then allows me to load a non-orbit ROM onto the orbit (eg generic Artemis ROM)
What I would like to do however is load an ENGLISH Orbit ROM onto my GERMAN orbit. I don't think I need to do the imeicheck.co.uk routine to load an Orbit ROM.
The problem I have is that I cannot find an english ROM for the orbit on any sites?. I am wondering firstly if anyone knows where I can download an english ROM for the Orbit. Secondly if no one has an english ROM, does anyone know if it is possible to dump the english ROM off an existing english handset if I find one?.
I am happy to upload this ROM for all the other users of the site. I think this is a common problem but very difficult to find a straight answer of what my options are to get english language on this device.
Thanks, Towelie.
rom location
tovelie:
try to use local ftp server to get required ROM.
_ftp://xda:[email protected]
it is in /Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates foder.
the ROM you are looking for is:
ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
there are few remarks. it is unlikely you will be able to re-flash your device, if it is not already CID unlocked.
CID unlock is available from imei-check.com.
please keep in mind that even with CID unlocked device there are problems discovered on Orbit, it still does not flash with another ROM.
hi fdp24,
thanks for your reply.
I assume from this you are saying that I can load the dopod firmware on the above ftp if I CID unlock, but if I do this there are problems with this firmware and the orbit anyway?
my understanding is that the CID unlock basically stops the phone checking the "vendor id" of the firmware (ROM) so you can load a generic firmware on it instead. I am hoping I can get an orbit firmware so I can just load it without the need for CID.
from further reading it would seem it may not be possible to dump the firmware/ROM from the handset as the commands to do this are now protected with a password?
Does anyone at all have an english firmware specifically for orbit? Is it possible to download this from o2?.
Thanks, Towelie.
DISHEARTED->NO GSM & IMEI disappeared, Radio updating(Can it be restored with JAFWM?)
Dear Seniors,
i am very much dishearted as there are many many learned people who i know can help me with this little problem of mine... few did but after a while they disappear (may e cuz they think i'm asking too much .... well that's how your get to learn things...)
well now... after a long wait and research... i have come across this software called J.A.F.WM... it says that it can;
*Autodetect product, whichout having an technical knowledge.
*Flashing has not been easier for everyone to do.
*There is no need to edit or patch any ROM file before flashing your phone.
*Fully compatible with original ROM files.
*Debranding.
*Upgrade phone firmware.
*Restore/Change PDA's IMEI
*Support area contains more then 15 Gigabytes of ROM files.
*Change languagepack and software customization.
*Available region packages: Arabic, Asia and Pacific, German, English, French, Russian, Swedish and much more.
so i think it can restore my IMEI Too (Remember i am having NO GSM error and Can't update/Install the RADIO ROM on my Phone. IMEI is gone too.. however the EXT ROM and CE ROM flashes fine)...
My question to all the guru's here is that have you guys come accross this software so far and that if so then have you used it...
this software requires a dongle (Pkey)... can it be cracked.
the link to its website is "http://jafwm.com/index.php"
i would appreciate your support... may be my being sticky to this issue will help many many other brother around....
looking forward for your replies...

hey all,
First post so bare with me if little vague.
Will the LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 work in Aust with Optus or will i have to configure manually?
Also does that rom include GPS?
IF so is it just a simple plug in D810 run active sync and then run a .exe?
Also does the D810 have a radio? i have seen speculation that it does, but haven't been able to confirm.
thanks for your help.
Cheers
Hey Dan,
feel free to ask questions ass you need on the forums, but best form is to read first - do some searches and if you can't find the info you're looking for ask ask ask Your phone will work on your network with this ROM. The ROM does include GPS. Radio - unsure about this - but the radio wouldn't be supported by this ROM - and if you haven't got radio functionality already - probably not.
It would be a good idea for your first ROM upgrade to try an official DOPOD ROM Find ROMS here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades Get an Activesync connection then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the extracted ROM file. For cooked ROMS (They don't have the same CID as your phone) you need a CID unlocker. You can either run a temporary fix to hide you CID before flashing - or do it permanently (Safer).
Have a good read around the forum - but once you get going you won't regret your adventure.
Hello,
I want to upgrade my Sharp S01SH, running OS 5.1.476.3 AKU 3.5.0, to WM6. From what I have managed to understand (mostly via machine translation from Japanese sites), this isn't as easy as with popular devices. Perhaps this is due to device specifics or something.
The Japanese operator Emobile offered owners of the S01SH a paid upgrade to WM6 and actually released a S01SH II, running WM6, a few months after the initial release, but there is no mention on how to do this yourself.
I am not deep into ROMs and flashing, therefore I am unable to decide what kind of ROM I need and why. I will appreciate any help and advice. Thanks!
-----
I have been looking at different ROMs but I still need expert help. Obviously, I do not need phone support, because the S01SH does not have a phone function.
Is my issue that alien to all the experts here? Please guys, just give me some directions!
I have visited nearly every Japanese website that Google returns for S01SH and read everything there - no mention of what ROM can be used.
The basics I know of: the official upgrade was to WM6 Classic Japanese. I can only rely on experts to tell me what I can possibly use and what I can't.
Please point me to a suitable ROM (no phone stuff needed because the Em One doesn't have a phone function, just HSDPA), and I will try to sort out the rest.
