Hey folks,
I live in Germany and bought a german MDA Pro from T-Mobile. Now I usually use english-software on any device I have, Windows, Mobile Phone and my HTC Universal. The only problem I have with any other ROM than a German one is the Keyboard-Symbol-Support.
With the German OS I can type an o and hit one time the "SYM" Key and get an ö which for example is very often used in Germany.
With international versions I have to hit SYM 3 to 4 times. :x
Or is there a way to change that?
I read somewhere her in the Forum where I can change the Keyboard-Layout, so that Z is Z and not Y and vice versa, but the problem with the german "Umlaute" is still there.
So typing with the Keyboard is really anoying. That's the reason why I'm stuck with the german T-Mobile 1.20 ROM although I would love to use a newer one from QTEK or IMATE...
Can anyone help me?
TIA.
Hi NiTeSHiFT,
same for me, bought the device in Germany as VPA-IV, changed to english ROM from iMate asap. Using latest iMate now also.
I asked about this before and understood it is in the Softkeyboard, but I have no solution until now.
Anybody ?

ere is a file 'sym.txt' in the windows folder. You can edit this (best way to copy it to your desktop/laptop computer, adit and copy back to the xda) and you will be able to change the order of the different character as you wish.
Hi Fortinbras,
well thanks m8, that's so easy and fast to change.
I had the old Vodafone-file still available, change and soft-reset.
Perfect, thanks

Thanks a lot man. Didn't know that it is THAT easy ;-)
Now I can use whatever english ROM comes up
Nevertheless my MDA Pro with the newest Orange Firmware is still VERY slow with NO extra program installed...
German sym.txt File
Hello!
Is there anyone who has the original german sym.txt file to exchange it with the english one. It would be great, if someone can post it here!
Best regards!

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?
hi all,
i'm going to buy Asus A696. the problem is that it is not yet on the market in our country so i'm thinking to buy it from another country - it means different language version of WM5.
my question is: with coming update of WM6 would i be able to flash the device with different language version than previously installed WM5? all i would need is WM6 in english, i don't even need my mother language..
cheers!
I buy A696, I need change the language, French to inglish, is this possivel?
Tanks
yes, me too.
i have a696 with wm5 Engish, now i want to upgrade to wm6 Chinese.
can anyone help?
1.how to save current wm5 rom for backup?
2.how to pass the language check and upgrade to wm6 Chinese.
i only have the official wm6 file, it's the .img file, from asus site.
thank you very much. please help us out experts!
and yeah, if i can flash out and save my English wm5 rom, i can share it with upstairs. so you flash my English Wm5 first, and upgrade to Enghlis wm6 directly!

If you know what to do:
I shared some files:

USBLoader.exe - _http://zip.z0m.ru/3279749

What we can do is:
1. attach PDA to the PC with USB cable and wait for ActiveSync to sync
2. open a command prompt
3. run pdocread -t
4. run pdocread -l
5. run pdocread 0x0 0xXXX nk.nb0 where 0xXXX is the size of the rom returned in the step 3 (for our WM5 should be 0x2200000)
6. wait until the process finish
Now we got a copy of our original PDA firmware
To upgrade the PDA back to the origiginal or to another version we got, we have to:
1. attach the PDA to the PC with USB cable and CLOSE ActiveSync
2. press on the PDA the keys POWER+ENTER+RESET, the PDA bootloader will start in upgrade mode by USB and wait for the firmware from the USB
3. use usbloader to upload our nk.nb0 or any other firmware we got to the PDA
This is what I have read from that forum, but I've not tested jet cause I have only the copy of my firmware and waiting that someone make a copy of his english PDA to be able to upload the WM6 WWE update.
That is the user "l0v3r" says in the other post.

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!
