Hey guys, i am new here, just unlocked my german t-mo mda mail (=dash) and wanted to update it to wm6...just the thing is that i want to keep the german keyboard layout, is there a regedit that makes that possible? furthermore i wanna know whether it supports german as a menu language in general?
thanks for help !
Hi,
I have a german XDA Cosmo, unlocked and updated with WM6.
There's no german language, only US English.
But I wanna try to copy the language files from german HTC Vox to english XDA Cosmo, don't know if it will work ...

alright..mh, so do u think there might be a possibility to do it in this way? cause, i dun really think T-Mobile germany will release a german WM6 in nearer future...wont they..
Why you just don't wait a few weeks and get the unbranded European ROM for HTC S620 including German keyboard support and German user interface?
"a few weeks" is relative. Is the release date already scheduled?
HTC anounced something about May/June. But I don't know if they will do exactly what they have promised in their press anouncement...
I'll wait and see!

Will the unbranded Update work on a normal O2 Cosmo (mine is only application unlocked), though?
Thanxx, Mixx
Well thats what i mean, T-Mo suddenly released their WM6, so why shouldnt HTC surprise us as well? the t mobile wm6 is based on the original HTC one, so there has to be an existing HTC wm6 already...i guess it will be as well a surprise update since HTC barely gives any press announcements dont they - fact is: the htc wm6 engine is there - no we need to wait..question is..till when..?
@Mixx: as far as i know...there is no way around the CID unlock, that is only achieved through the complete unlock by imei-check...i did it already, its worth the 38 bucks, seriously..

You don't need an unBRANDED, but an unLOCKED Excalibur.
I know people always ask to go through the threads and titles to find an answer, but the truth is I only find bits here and bits there, and not sure what to do!
I wish someone could explain what are the steps to take to move from Wm5 to Wm6 (I like the Black version) on T-Mobile Vario II, with as little probs as possible.
What programs to download and where from? Which order to install them?
Also: are all Wm6 versions available 'pirates'? Why cant you download Wm6 straight from Microsoft (I havent found any links yet!)
A huge thanks!!!
Step by step?
I agree with the above! Any step by step instructions for beginners?
I concur. It's a minefield out there. Lots of advice but a lot of it contradictive and the occaisonal mention of the "B" word just to convince you to put it off again for another couple of months.
It's been a lot more than that now for me but the need to sort out my HTC S100 Bluetooth headset means I have to.
I'm going to take the plunge. I'll let you know what happens.
T-Mob UK MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) WM5hit
MrVanx's site has a nice set of guides on it.
I went here,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
I did the HardSPL part but I'm not sure if I needed to as the ROM I used seemed to do the same thing, but it didn't seem to hurt.
I then went here and downloaded the Schap's 3.60a ROM from mirror 1
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=all_hermes_roms
and ran it....
Forgot to back up my MMS's so lost them but apart from that... dare I say it......
The main reason for me doing this was to get a half decent sound on my HTC S100 Bluetooth handsfree jobby. It's done the trick, not perfect but it's so much better.
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to all involved in the sources I used.
DGL.
I decided to take the plunge today mainly to take advantage of the new internet sharing via wifi hack available on WM6. Like you guys I was nervous about messing up my phone and there is so much information available and so many choices. I decided to follow MrVanx's guide, very simple and spent about 2 hours doing to whole upgrade for hard spl, radio upgrade and windows black satin. It really is very easy if you follow that guide step by step. Definately worth it and had I known how simple it would be would have upgraded my vario II ages ago. If like me your on t-mobile then the cab on this thread might also be handy:

That's 2 different things, maybe 3. Do you want to change the 'splash screens' - that come up when you soft reset... (In attachments), or the theme?

Well you could jusr unlock the SPL and then flash the device with one of the cooked WM6 ROM's. That will make the Orbit look like a standard HTC P3300
Thats what i did with mine anyway
Finally it worked.
First I couldn't get Hard spl on my T-mobile mda vario IV, tried different versions of hard spl but it didn't work.
What did work: went from my desktop to my laptop( allready tried different cables, usb port).
This spl: RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3. See bottom of post.
Maybe important for other noobs: Putting Hard Spl on your phone doesn't take 10 minutes, only about 2.
This rom (HTC original):
HTC Touch Pro_RUU_Raphael_HTC_NLD_5.05.404.1_R_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship
Phone is a lot! faster, got rid of branding.
All this made possible by this forum, Mattblack70 and Lokje (FTD), AAP , PocketPC Forum etc.
