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.

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.
Hello,
I have a few questions about Typhoon 7000XL:
1. Is it possible to upgrade operating system from its original Windows Mobile 2003 Pro. second edition to WM5 or WM6?
2. Is it possible to change operating systems language from say German to English? if yes, how?
3. How to make a complete back-up before upgrading so that in case anything goes wrong, it can still be downgraded back to its original state?
I am new to this area and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi, My name is Hashim, and I am pleased to meet you in this forum.
Actually, I have a very simillar situation like yours with the Typhoon 7000XL. At the moment I don't have any solution to these problems, but I promise you if I get any, I will let you know.
Likewise, if you find any solution to those problems, I would be very appreciated if you could kindly let me know.
Best regards.
Hashim

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!
Hello everyone,
sorry for posting this noob questions here, I see that you all are discussing software development and stuff, but it is the only place I've found to ask about it.
My situation: I have a Dell Axim X51v wich is still on warranty and CompleteCare (until march 2009!). It has a WM5 A04 Portuguese Rom wich is very unstable and quite lame (I don't like the system in portuguese!) and I'm looking forward to use the WM6 Football Rom, that everywhere I read says its very nice.
The fact is: If I had to call Dell for support, I'll need to give them the Ax with the WM5 Portuguese rom. I really consider this since the device isn't brand new and if something happens I don't want to loose it.
So, what I need to know is how (and if it is possible of course) to get the image of my Ax as it is now, to store in a safe copy on my pc or a cd, upgrade to Football's WM6 (wich version, btw? I see that there are RTM and Preview A06 on the thread) and then eventually get it back to my current rom, if I need to use the warranty. I know that the upgrade part is well documented around the internet, but the downgrade to the same or similar system is the major doubt.
I'll be grateful for any help. I'm new to all this and there are lots of knowledge around. Never had any experience flashing, just upgraded my ROM one time with the official procedure from HP, on my old Ipaq.
Thanks!!
I do not recommand to install the new file because they will broke dell warranty (I know you still come back to A12 rom but for potugal rom I don't know.
Well, I guess since you can flash a different language ROM of a different OS you could turn back to the other... or does there are problem flashing into an "older" version rom? (mine is A04 brazilian)
Anyway, thanks for the reply!
My WM5 is crashing frequently and I don't know why... I've installed some old dictionaries and maybe they messed it up. As I think on hard-reseting it, I consider the system upgrade, since WM5 is stupidly slow sometimes...
anyone else know about this rom switch-around?
I guess that if I have to call Dell, or my Ax is usable and I can switch the rom or it is unusable and probably they won't note that it was hacked! What about that?
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
