Hello people, this is my first post here in XDA, even if I've registered some months ago; what can I say?
This is one hell of a place to learn and exchange information, now let's go straight to the point.
I have buy a "new" (not exactly new, got it from Ebay in Germany) PDA to change my Ipaq 6340 (already sold, I guess...), it came from Germany, so the whole OS is in German, now, admiting that I'm not good with german languaje, I would like to change it to English, Spanish or Italian (quite confusing AH? I'm a native spanish speaker, english is good also -hope nobody disagrees- and I live in Italy, so Italian would be also ok).
Now I know that many of you will tell me that I should look out around the forum and grab all the information I need, next my reasons to ask for a precise answer from the forum's "gurus" (by the way, I'm an electronics engineer, lots of experience here, will not tell exactly what I've done all these years, but If I can give some help with the hardware, I will).
I've already tried to change the OS languaje, somewhere else in the forum I found a procedure to change the languaje by just overwriting some files and changing some registry keys, I would say a relatively "simple" procedure, but... Some files are surely missing, because, yes it do changed the languaje into Italian, but I have no shortcuts in my Settings folder, not Italian, nor the German ones.
Originally, I would even be happy by just changing the german ROM with the UK one (T Mobile is the original mobile operator that sold this PDA), obviously Activesync does not want to do it because the languaje is different. I tried to do it just by entering in boot loader mode but it is not enough for the PDA, same mistake.
Now it not even "reaches" the complete conection with the PC when in Boot loader mode, it just freezes and I've also read something like this today in the forum (confusion is just growing, I have been through so many threads in the last week that I just can't remember all the things I've saw).
Now do you understand why I need some enlightning, clear, linear help?
Please, one advice and one guide:
Advice, which ROM should I use?
Guide, How should I do to install the ROM, any ROM, even if it is from a different mobile operator?
Thanks in advance to all, and please don't get mad at me, I just don't want to waste too much time to begin playing with my toy.
Ok, I've just answered myself yesterday, lots of reading and jumping all over the forum and i made it.
Well, i guess i had no luck to find the person to help me (many readers, no answer).
nobody awnsers because its the same question every 'new' Universal owner asks...
and all the awnsers can be found in the forum.
also check out the wiki at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
For italian language try JASJAR_ITA_13081_169_10900_ita_ship.zip from ftp.clubimate.com no need to register there even and it is the official release too.
Hi there,
Looks like this forum is a great place to ask a few questions since I just got my first PPC (QTek G100 WM5 Spanish (sadly).
Sadly I didn't have a look for available ROM Updates for this model prior buying it and it seems like an impossible task to find anything that could help me turning my G100 into something useful with a spanish OS..
I basically bought it in Spain, hoping that the language could be switched, but I guess I was wrong. After contacting pretty much everyone (HTC / QTek Support and even the press office) the final answer was: It's impossible to change the language.
I also had a look at roms and found one in english called
RUU_GLX_O_10001_10200500ENG_LB_BP
but this one returns "invalid device id" once I try to "update to english". Since I am sure many people here have great experience I would like to ask if someone knows a way to get around this issue. I found some language changing topic here, but I cannot find any spanish rom for this one to use a suggested method to replace the CEOS.nbf while running the original rom update.
See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1064789
Maybe someone managed to find a rom update for this model and would like to help out. I'm also more than willing to pay a few bucks to get my G100 set.
Any ideas? Links? Suggestions?
Thanks
xiii .... I have the same problem.
any help?
Totally stuck
Hi guys,
I am totally lost here. I kindda understand what the Wiki explains but to use it I get stuck. I am completely new to this whole business. bought a used blue angel (everything working on it) with a WM 2003 on it italian language. all I wanted was to swith from italian to english (or WWE as you guys call it). I do know that my ROm is 1.12.24 ITA Radio 1.03 and no value for extRom. that is what it showed when I tried to use one of the numerous updates available on XDA. first it showed me error 102 checksum error then country ID error. so I used the Ruu file and added the Checkceid_1 command as u suggested on wiki for blue angel. anyway I am stuck. now even the WM2003 italian is no longer available since I hard-reseted my BA. all I see now on the screen is windows mobile with some italian gibberish under it.
Serious help needed please.
Thank you

Dear all,
I've got myself a Fujitsu Siemens Loox N560, with German version of WM5. I remember it was a big day and I was happy as a child.
But German is to me as Chinese to (most of) you.
I've tried to change the language into English and discovered that I can't do that. There are no language settings in the original WM5.
Discouraged, I accepted the fact that I'll use the PDA simply as a GPS device.
Then, surfing the fujitsu-siemens site, I've discovered they have a update for the GPS software. I've downloaded the update, carefully followed all the instructions and....
... and now the GPS is broken.
So I think I need to "format" everything and "reinstall" an English WM
Can it be done?
Do I have to install WM6?
Please indicate some resources, ROM images, instructions, "how-to"s, anything.
I know I'm inexperienced comparing to you, but I'm willing to search, to learn, to try
If you can help, I am forever and ever grateful and I shall mention you in my prayers as long as I'll live. And after
