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

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.
My wife has just got an Orange SPV M650 and I need to change the language from French to English for her so she can use it properly (French is a problem and she thought she could change the language when she bought it). Is this possible? After a lengthy call to Orange France today, they tell me it should be possible but that I need to download the rom in English. But they couldn't tell me where to find the software to do this however...So far I have not had any luck. On other forums, it has been suggested that this just won't be possible.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks very much.
if you change the rom, you have plenty to choose from. what would you like? windows mobile 5 or 6? the official rom? or something "cooked" (which has more features)?
you are in the right place here. just search through the various threads about roms. be aware that some french spv m650 users had problems with gps once the upgraded to WM6. but there is a patch for that...

i've had that same problem before, i bought my spv m650 and thought it would be easy to change the language to english. i also tried to ask france telecom, but they're just a useless bunch of people. good thing i discovered this forum.
if you want, you can send me a private message and i could send the english roms that i used, and also the solution for the gps problem that one of the members in this forum made.
Hello,
I am using my bosses login as he has asked me to sort out his wife's phone for him.
Redski very very kindly sent me all the files that I would need to change the SPV M650 to English WM6 from the French (complete with the fixes for the gps).
Not owning a pda phone type thing myself this is all new territory for me. And a little scarey!!! If I turn the phone into a brick (do you like how I am learning the language?!)...well it doesn't bear thinking about as it's not my new toy.
Anyway, following the excellent instructions provided by redski I managed to use the uspl file to cid unlock the phone. I then tried to load the wm6 software redski sent me onto the phone. I keep getting an error message - the dos screen goes through the initializing stages and then the error message says can't find the file. So I thought I would look on this excellent website for more clues on wm6 software for this phone as I was loathe to keep bothering redski or anyone else for that matter.
But I have to admit defeat now and ask for more help please!
(I promise I have trawled through the threads looking for clues, even the excellent complete idiot's guide which is clear - it is the software to download I need guidance with).
I saw a download available on this site based on o2 german WM6. Is that the one to use? I think it was bepe's download??
I am using activesync correctly by the way and am only connecting as a guest just in case this makes a difference.
I am not stupid (honest!) just a little lost and confused so any help would be much appreciated from anyone who has the time to advise a newbie like me!!!
Thanks v much Emma
you can use any english ROM you like, i don't know why the one i sent didn't work, but have you tried looking through the threads that i sent you? you can also look through the WIKI page of artemis, and look for available english roms to download.
good luck!
Hi Redski
Just wanted to thank you again for your help. Just been able to download Meschle's new WM6 rom - all seems fine. Although I guess I may still need to download those gps fixes you sent me?
Thanks again!
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
Hi guys.
I've got asus 636N and I wanted to upgrade my WM5 to WM6 (I know its pretty late... didn't play with my PPC much since I bought it)
anyway, the desired upgrade for my language (hebrew) isn't exist.
after some searching I've come up with this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308611&highlight=wm6+hebrew
which is great and self explenatory and all... but I couldn't find in there the hex valued for hebrew.
after some searching in MS site I've found hebrew's local is 1037, which means the first change would be from 09 to 0d, but I didn't manage to realise what the other numbers stand for...
can anyone help?
p.s.
if I go through this upgrade, will factory reset turn the device back to its good old WM5 hebrew or will this upgrade delete the ROM (I suppose the answer is "don't count on factory reset, as it may explain all the "I bricked my ppc" towards the end of the thread)
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.
