Orange SPV M650 - Language problem - Help please!

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!

Need help to learn how to use/install rom...

Hello everyone...I am new to this...
I have newly purchased a pure white SoftBank X02HT...
It is my second WM phone...
and it is the first time I ever think about modifying it...
I bought it in Toronto, Canada... The phone has already been modified...
and unlocked...right now it is knowing itself as a Dopod C730...
it is currently a Traditional Chinese/English...
however...there are still many parts that are English only...
I have no problem reading English...
but then there are songs that I would like to have in Chinese...
also...it does not have Chinese input...I really want to know...
how can I put in Chinese...
but more important... my camera is not working...
when it turn the camera on...it tells me...
Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device...
what do I do about that...?
also are Dopod C730...HTC S630...and SoftBank X02HT all have a different keyboard layout...? becuz right now there are some keys on my key pad...that does not match...it is not the English characters...but a few signs...
I would like to make it back into a X02HT or S630...but I don't know how to use any of the Roms...so please can someone help me...?
Thank you very much...

yes please
have a similar situation here.. I have an unlocked x02ht with the dopod730 rom and would like to install the Softbank ROM so I can use all the Softbank mobile features... but 1. where to get the rom 2.what is necessary to install it?

me too we need some tutorial plz help us

looks like we're all in the same boat though all the functions on my softbank work. I'm using mine on Rogers GSM [Canada]

Yes!
I had Softbank, turned it into DOPOD C730 to unlock and use outside Japan. Now I lost the softbank access point password.

I'm totally lost too ...
Mine start, but over 40 seconds after boot, this message ( appears and i can't use the cellular "SIM lock. You can still make emergency calls if you service provider supports it"
I've tried with 3 different SIMs and without SIM and i get the same message....
I think that installing a new software maybe will fix it, but ... i don't have any idea of how could i do it.

Urgent assiatnce needed regarding ASUS P320

Hi All,
I am lately frustrated with my ASUS 320 that i bought in Italy from the cellphone provider TIM Italy.I was tol it 'll operate in English however the whole thing is in Italian , i just can hear you folks telling me to got it changed, yes unfortunately its a bit lately for that and quite honest the phone with the functions seems great.
So this is what i am trying to do and where i am failing.
From several memeber (thanks to all of them ) i tried flashing the WWE in diferent ways .First i have been told to use the chinese firmware's autorun.exe (aparently this ain't checking any version ) and using the WWE's bin file in the same folder and flash it.This method unfortunately failed and gives the message that i need to ensure that the language has to be the same as the phone ones.During soft reset at the startup screen , it fails again.
So at this point ASUS told me to sent it to their service center and to be installed with the english version of the windows mobile 6.1 , they said its a licensing thing and i had to pay for it.
So i am really at my last nerve i guess , is there anyone , anyone who can help me out here.Once again the device is from the italian cellphone service company TIM italia the language is Italian and i want to change (flash ) it to English start up screen gives
" ROM 4.10.0_0718_ITA_ITA"
Help is appreciate it

Help needed in my Cavalier

Hello
If someone kindly can help with this
i have a cavalier .... and iam from egypt so i need Arabic support in my device ...... so anyone has any idea about how to install it ...... ??????
my device working with Windows Mobile 6 standard
ce os 5.2.1238 ( build 17745.0.2.3 )
do i have to install arabic rom ? i just want it to read and write .....
and if i need a rom where do i get it from ....... ???????????
Thank you

Ahmed, I'm from Egypt too.... (and my name is Ahmed as well).
I seemed to have found a lot of programs for arabic support for touch screen pocket pc's but not for smartphones like the cavalier, do some searches online, maybe you'll get lucky!

Thanx
Hello Ahmed
Thank You For answering
yes ... i've tried many of these softwares ..... but unfortunatly none of the worked with my Cavalier
so u think i should change the rom ?????
Thanx again

Ahmed,
I don't know of any rom that supports Arabic for our phones. Kinda sucks.
Did you buy your phone from Vodafone Egypt (only ones that sell it here) or from overseas unlocked like I did?
Because if you bought it from Vodafone it should already support arabic.
The only other thing I can think of is if you go to the official agent for HTC here in Cairo,
JOVI-Tronics
Address: 17, el-mat’haf el-zeraey & Dr. Shahin st., Agouza
Tel: 02-37492558 / 012-2666620
They are actually very professional and may be able to help you. I know for sure they can change your board and it would have arabic, but that would be pretty expensive.
Good luck, let me know how it goes!

thanx for replying
yes i bought it from vodafone Egypt
but it stil doesnt support arabic although there is arabic letter printed on the bttons itself ... thats wierd ...
the thing i noticed today is that on my phone box the Stars-Suite logo is printed on it .... stars suite is an arabizing suite ... still lookin 4 it
but maybe i should give HTC a visit so i can see wut can they do 4 me
Thank u ahmed u are realy helpful

I originally bought one from Vodafone, but I couldn't unlock it to work on mobinil, tried websites, abdelaziz street, everything, and no one could unlock it, so I returned it and bought it from overseas.
Definitely give JOVITronix a call or a visit, maybe they'll help!!
Take care buddy!

Hello :"Ahmed "s
any chance you have the original rom that came with the device??
. I also got it from vodafone and unlocked it, the problem is i upraded to WM6.1 and the keyboard layout is just not right when i try to use the "FN" key .
Thanks

as for Hard-SPL, you should check the FAQ in second post in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
that should help you get Hard-SPL working

yes try on XP if you can. if still no good, let me know what the error text was.

it didn't work
btw i have another question, what programmes do i need to do the hard-spl? hard-spl and wmdc only??? or some others???

HardSPL on Windows 7 is known to be problematic. When flashing HardSPL on Windows XP, you need ActiveSync on that machine (now WMDC). That is all you need installed on the desktop PC.
