Hi,
I have a problem and after doing a massive research I found this forum and I am wondering if someone could help me.
I have been trying to locate ASUS P550 for several weeks now and although it's sold in the UK as Vodafone v1520, it's modified for branding purposes and no good. At least I think it's not good. After talking to ASUS support I found out that the model is also for sale in Russia and Ukraine as ASUS P550, but unfortunately the WM6 on these devices is Russian.
Before deciding on buying the device I wanted to know if it would be possible that someone with the necessary skills and knowledge would be willing to try to change the language to English. I noticed that someone has done something similar for previous ASUS models like the P535. What I had in mind was that I would buy the device, export the ROM image and let somebody have it for modyfying / testing.
I have to say that I don't know much about smartphones and/or PDA-s besides what I have read and that is that the language cannot be changed simply by a push of a button like a normal person would expect. I also don't know much anything about ROMs or handling them, therefore I don't know whether it's possible to modify the ROM at all without the specific device in hand.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nobody knows nothing?
OK, I guess I am in a wrong message board.
I would have paid - and I still would - $100 for this.
I have the vodaphone version v1520 I am not sure what the difference is to the native version but its a great phone very fast and stable.
what do you think the other does that is advantageous and can I help clarify anything at all.
Thank You for your input. The answer to Your question is actually that after read some threads about the Vodafone branding I don't think that one or the other has any advantages over the other anymore. I just could not get my hands on the v1520 (which is English of course) while I was posting this thread. But now I got one from ebay and it is delivered tomorrow. So no need for ROM cooking anymore.
Thanks again.
Ok mate
If you find anywhere to learn and get cooked roms for the device let me know I have searched and searched but cant find anywhere.
the device is good but cooked roms always are better than shipped roms.
I cant seem to find a forum on the device with anyone doing anything with it..
If you know anything at all pm me or post here
Cheers
ps if I learn anything I will let you know
OK, deal. What I was told in another forum was that since the device is so new and there isn't yet an official ROM outthere it's quite too soon to expect to see a cooked ROM. It just takes time probably.

pls visit asusmobile.ru for details of activation of GPS
pls search this forum, there is some good information on Asus p550,which I have posted earlier.
Actually there isn't any good information in this forum that You have posted, for example in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393647 - You promised to share details if anyone was interested and there was lot of people interested, the only thing missing was fulfillment of Your promise. Even after I sent many PM to You, You didn't reply or post anything. That is currently the case.

Thanks for the advice.
Tried that already, the problem is that I need english on my phone, and living in Taiwan, the default is chinese. So anyway, after contacting the service dept, they told me that they regulate the IME numbers to the O/S therefore, you can not download a ROM that was not originaly shipped with the device.
Which really makes things difficult for me. Currently I am trying to negotiate with them to update the O/S themselves at the service centre, and would you believe, they have to get Authority from Head Office to make the change.
I really dont understand, its only a firmware image, and since I already bought the phone why are they worrying about what IME number runs what O/S.
Its beyond me.
So anyway, to anyone who is looking to CHANGE the O/S between languages it seems not that easy to do. Just buy the phone with the right language from the start and things will be much easier.
Please....
Please.....
Any holy hand........
is it that dificult????
or is it so new that none of the master herewent through this?
Well, after spending a total of 2 hours on the phone with O2 Asia, 3 different people the outcome is : "THEY SUCK!"
They have tried to tell me that it is NOT possible to upgrade the ROM image, and if I did change teh ROM image, it would VOID the warranty, what these things have in common is beyond me.
They are full of crap. I will NEVER buy a phone from them again and I strongly suggest to anyone thinking about it that there are many other alternatives out there, forget O2.
They are very polite but very very useless.
Their recommendation was "Return the phone" , and get another make.
So people keep away from these guys! That's my advice.
If I am in you posisition I would not think about the waranty right now.
The most important is to get the rom first then until you encounter a prob. you flash the rom to the original one that come in sales pack.
Thats it.
Don't forget to post here If you have got the rom.
Same with me either if I get it first I will post it here.

have you tried registering on the site????
you should be able to register no matter what language your rom is....
it says within 7 days of purchasing your phone your imei no becomes available for registering
How come some some imei will be imidiately accepted, and some have to wait for 7 days?
Because I use my own imei and they say must wait 7 days, and I use my friend's imei they accept it imidiately and say no upgrade needed.
or maybe you're entering the wrong imei, like me tried more than 10 times. it say enter the right imei or wait for 7 days after purchase.
the IMEI will be accepted once you register it at the website but do keep in mind that the IMEI can be register on the country site only (i think) also as for the new ROM i think they have removed it since i couldn't find it anymore .... well i have uploaded the rom to esnips ... link down
http://www.esnips.com/doc/5a03b941-868e-45f8-a125-bcca46523b47/Zinc_WWE_RC4070131_3
but do keep in mind doing the upgrade might void the warranty

Good morning all
Is the first time that i write in a forum, i'll try to explain my problem and i hope that somobody can help me.
I'm working in china and one day i lost my thelephone, so i decided to buy a PDA HTC P3300.But only after some day i saw that some thing was not working, so i'm tring to downgrade a new rom.
Here i had my problem, i followed all the details that i found on internet, also i took some informations and file from this forum to coplete the procedure like Hard SPL and so on, the problem is that when activesync is connected to the device i launch for example Hard SPL to upgrade it but after the program showed me the version installated and i said upgrade, i waited for a while and then the progam told me to check the usb connection (i tried whit 3 different cable) ERROR 260.The same thing happened when i tried to change the ROM.
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE?? I NEED THE PDA ALSO FOR WORK.
Thank you everybody!

Hard Spl??? For the Artmes?? Mate are you trying to brick your device cause it seems you are doing a pretty good job of it too,Hard Spl is NOT for the p3300 it is for the Hermes and Trinity which are two very very different models of HTC. Please make an effort to read the Wiki before you start messing with the phone.Try flashing the t-mobile stock rom FOR THE ARTEMIS(WITHOUT THE HARD SPL) and hopefully it may work also find out from your buyer if it is CID unlocked though i doubt wether they would know.
Check in Settings - Connections - USB to PC that the USB advanced network functionality is not ticked. That's caught me out in the past after making changes.
This is assuming that others in this forum are correct and you've not yet made a brick using the wrong model. Good luck!
One problem more on rom
Thanks all for your answers
sorry but i still had one problem more
As arvind09 said i read almost all Wiki before do some other stupid things, i downloaded anhoter rom from this page:

Did you buy it in China?
If you bought the phone in China, there will be 2 versions. 1 for the chinese market (han huo) and the others are for other markets (usually europe) then flashed with the chinese rom (shui huo). As far as I know the chinese versions aren't locked and the foreign market versions musn't be locked either due to the fact that they have to put on the chinese rom
I can't really find much discussion on this, or any other boards for this.
Anyone think WM6.1 will be coming to the BJII or if it's hackable to work on it?
I have no idea how to go about it, so all I can do is request it....

Also, I have posted there in the forum an itsutils script to automate dumping of the ROM, and also a copy of the dumped ROM
txcaesar? Aren't you the ones that were charging for the MPx200 upgrade that I had for free at mpxupgrade? Or were you the ones that helped me get it up and offer it for free?
Anyway, thanks for the link. Looks like the BJII has been dumped and uploaded to your site. I have no idea how to progress from there, but if no one does it before easter /summer break, guess I may give it a try then...
Charging for a ROM upgrade? I find the notion amusing.. (I would never do that)
I could cook up a BJII ROM, but i have no device to test with, and so far no one else is crazy enough to risk bricking their device

i had got a at&t blackjack2 and i looking at unlocking it.
any help
typically the phone must be unlocked before cooked ROM could be flashed.
To my knowledge there isn't a free option available to unlock the i617 yet.
Hey, guys, has anything happened with this? I too would love to upgrade. Based on prior experience, AT&T won't be releasing an official upgrade for another 4-6 months.
Someone needs to give MOHBY a hand extracting the ROM from his i617(thread below) and we will all be happy campers.

To all experts:
Please, is there a kind soul who could help us newbies, with a comprehensive tutorial in building/extracting ROMs for P535?
I know, this is a huge work, but I needed to rise this question, since I couldn't find out any method to cook my ROM for P535, and I think that I'm not alone with this problem.
I've read through the all wiki materials in this mather and I've found only for HTC device...(OK-OK I know that this forum is xda related ). On other forums, mainly thai and vietnameese, the forum mates seems that are not so willing to share their tools neither to help (it's a pitty and shame!).
Or: can we use the Kaiser tools (or any other) for asus roms, or do they need some modifications?
Thank you in advance.
