IPAQ 114 - language change failed - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

It works now !!!!
Hi all,
hope anyone can help me:
I have a IPAQ 114 WWE and need to patch it to german - it's for my wife.
So I walked through many posts and got many ideas to do this, but none of them worked:
1. Downloaded SP38871 and SP38992 and substituted HPImage.nbf while updating. 20 times or more - but failed.
The result was either an
- update with WWE or a
- warning that the image doesn't match or a
- hang of the update tool
with a stuck in RUU download mode.
2. Did the same with a modifided USB cable (to unplug AC power) to bypass language check (and to substitute HPImage.nbf) - failed.
3. Opened german HPImage.nbf with HEXED and substuted GER hints with WWE but I didn't really know where this is requested - so this didn't work.
4. Downloaded bldiag.nb0, modified HPImage.nbf - removed first 12 bytes and renamed to HPImage.bin. Then copied the two files to a new formated SD card and put it into the IPAQ SD slot. Then hard resetted the IPAQ to clean boot - but the device booted again into WWE.
Do you have any idea, what was my mistake? I know one ...
Did HP additional steps to prevent lanuage changes - there is an additional hpRUUres_GER.dll in the german ROM update?
Concerning actions 3 and 4: Can anyone help me with information what really happens when
- the language information in the HPImage.nbf needs to be changed or
- a ROM image on a SD card should patch from WWE to german?
Thank you in advance!!!

It works now - IPAQ 114 language change ...
Could now change the language from WWE to GER.
The substitution of HPImage.nbf was the solution.
What was different to the trials before:
1. Didn't use the SP38871 with the WWE HPImage.nbf but used the SP38992 (GER) tool with the WWE HPImage.nbf
- Thanks to littlemonkey for his french screenshot !!!!
2. wrote a two line cmd script to move the WWE HPImage.nbf and GER HPImage.nbf between the folders (3 of them to avoid any warning):
move C:\iPAQ114\de\HPImage.nbf C:\iPAQ114\en
move C:\iPAQ114\dex\HPImage.nbf C:\iPAQ114\de
This is faster then overwriting WWE HPImage.nbf
3. Got exactly the right moment to move WWE HPImage.nbf:
The progress bar of hpRUU.exe had not started to move and before (!!!) the "RUU download mode" screen appeared.
Hope this helps you!

Italians JasJar Aku 2 with AKU 3 Performance.

So, I got it.
Thank You very very much Lt. Ivan for this.
I've do 4 Reg Files to Import with Resco Reg Editor, and after Reset You have a normal Aku 2 JasJar-Qtek 9000 with Aku 3 Performance.
Do this after a Hard Reset, it's functioned not by normal overwriting of Register. And do not a Recover, because You will change the new Values.
P.S. At the moment is only for Italian Jasjar
THX so much I will try it!
:lol:
Everybody say me thare is a "Problem".
On the Control Panel\System\About, You will see in the Id of the Pda my name. I think is not so worry. You can change with Your Name.
Sorry for this
P.S. This Work is dedicated to all Developers of Xda and to the Master of the Maters: Buzz :lol:

How do I change it?
To change my name, you mean?
Go to this Key:
HKLM\Ident\Name and change it. Then do a Soft Reset
Problems
I run all the scripts and when i do a soft reset, it rebots with a white screen and doesnt look like its going any whare from that. I have a imate jasjar with the latest imate rom. it gives met the first screen with the imate logo and where it normally would give me the windows mobile screen it is white. have also notice that it change the language on somethings, like the today plugins and the calender softkey from english to some other language.
Same here. White screen. Finally hard reset and restore backup
Seems like some entries in the cab files are Italian. For example there are entries referring to \Programmi\... instead of \Program Files\... Not surprising it doesn't work for non-Italian ROMs.

Yes, for the moment the tweak is developped on the italian rom.
Yes, You have right. I've thinked that was for all Jasjar.
The reason is because the *mui of the Rom are 0410 and Yours are 0409.
I will ottemperate as well the same Trick for Englishes Jasjar.
:wink:
i have jasjar italian and i have aku3 of Ivan but now have original aku2 qrek whit file of James and it's ok.
Thank you James
maury
Do you have a plan to make it for Qtek 9000 WWE rom?
Thanx.
So, I can tell You how to do this.
1) To First You must flash the AKU 3 Rom Beta 4 of Ivan in your Pda
2) After reboot of Pda don't syncronized It how User, but how Guest.
3) Install in Your Pda "Resco Reg Editor".
4) Go to this Keys:
- HKCR\BOOTSTRAP (Save It on Sd Card with name 0)
- HKCU\PERFORMANCE (Save it on Sd Card with name 1)
- HKCU\Start (Save It on Sd card with name 2)
- HKLM\Loader (Save It On Sd card with name 3)
- HKLM\nls (Save It On Sd Card with name 4)
- HKLM\Services\ScreenRotate (Save It On Sd with name 5)
- HKLM\System\Storagemanager (Save the whool Reg key by Sd with name 6)
5) Then , You have the Regkeys on Your SD.
Reflash now Your Pda with your preferst Rom.
6) After Reboot of the Pda Install on this Resco Reg Editor.
7) By the menu you will see the voice "Import".
You will now Import the Keys that You haved Saved on Sd.
Now You will rewrite the original Reg Files with those.
8) Make then a Soft Reset. You got It.
P.S. The same procedures is for all Qtek 9000-JasJar, Afrikaans, French, Germans etc.....
So, now it's Corrected with Name and Storage renaming
This is maked with the RC1 of Ivan. Italian, not other Language

IT WORKS!!!! In every language! Change the ROM for Ipaq 114

Hello Everyone!
I had problems with my Ipaq. It has an italian ROM. So I´d like to flash it with an german ROM. On the HP-Homepage i found an italian and a german ROM. But of course it isn´t possible to use the german version. Couldn't anyone cook or dump a GERMAN ROM for the Ipaq 114? I think here are a lot of Germans who would really really appreciate that.
Many thanks!!!
Thomas Further Informations: Isn´t it possible to overwrite the italian nbf-file with the german one???
Got new informations!!!
Instruction to flash:
1.) You need the german and the italian Rom-update. Both have to unpack on your hard disk!
2.) You connect PDA with the PC, but not with the ac-power.
3.) Start the italian Softpaq. Meanwhile the Update the programm will recognize, that the update does only work with ac-plugged
in.
4.) No you rename the Romfile from the german Update with the name from the italian one and copy it to the folder with the
italian Update
5.) NOW plug in the AC-Power Cable
On this way you bypass the country check - this will be done before the checking of the ac-power.
No ideas???
It must be possible... Here are so many "professionals"!!!
By the way: This is a great forum here. Interesting discussions...
Has anyone experience...
...with the instruction from above???
Thanks for supporting
First, I have to say Hello!, this is my first post in this forum. I own an ipaq 110 classic series with WWE(world wide english).
I'have tried many ways to perform a language change, none of them appears to work, at least in this model. The method described above don't work on ipaqs 110 series, because this model only have a mini-usb port in the bottom end; which supplies data connection and power. Then... How I can "connect the AC power" to the device?. O maybe I'm omitting something.
Sorry about my english, I'm from Spain.
First of all you have to forbid your pda the charging via usb.
Use these settings to do this.
When the software ask, reactivate the settings...
Try it...
Greetings!
Bye the way. My english isn´t better. I´m from germany
EDIT !!!!!
SORRY!
It doesn´t work to deactivate the charging funktion. The problem is, that the pda use just one cable for the datas and for charging.
When you start the rom-update the setup programm automaticly start the charging option. The update starts immediatly...
No chance for overwrite the original language rom-file with the one from - in my case - the german one...
Need help! Please!!! It´s very important for me to have a german system (especially for my software).
additional information: i have a spanish model and i need urgently a german one...!!!!
HELP NEEDED!!!
Finally... I'have found a way to change language on ipaq 110 series (I think I have seen this method somewhere else)...
First you need:
1. ROM update for your device's language (in this case spanish)
2. ROM update what you want to change (germany or other)
both can be downloaded from HP's web page.
You must unpack each ROM in a directory with winrar, by separate, for example in the desktop.
Run the RUU utility of your device's language, the program will make some checkups and tells, it is correct the ROM and the language. Proceed with the update.
THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT STEPS:
1. The progress bar in the PC screen will not move forward, and in the device the screen will show "RUU downloading mode" in a white background (I suppose this is the famous "bootloader mode"). In this moment you have to paste the "HPImage.nbf" from germany ROM (I suggest before you copy the file and let ready for the paste) to the directory with your device original ROM language, you have aprox 5 sec to do so; the update will continue with no warnings. The device's screen will show "downloading mode" and the progress bar in the setup in the PC will reach the end.
2. The device will perform a "CLEAN BOOT" in green letters and... your device is speaking germany (or other language).
I'm not sure how safe the procedure is.
I suggest you run the ROM update of your original device language before doing the change, to check the screens, the timing, etc.
Hope it works in your device. Mine now is speaking spanish.
Regards.

Netherlands ROM
Hi, a have a problem, i got Ipaq 114 witch Netherlands ROM (NLD, Dutch) and i would like English, German or French (it does not matter), but to flash i need Netherlands rom to, but on official HP site it isn't (just only English, German or French). Can anybody help me pls, give me some link to Netherlands rom? thx
I have the actually german based ROM (April 2008) and wondering about this symptom:
Always when I connected my "blank" IPAQ 114 to active sync (sync with local Outlook) "and make" a new partnership - the Time on my PDA is "-9 hours" from our local time.
I test this with other IPAQ 114, with other Windows XP, and other AS 4.5 - always the same problem. If I use an other PDA (HTC Touch HD, Pro, S740) all work fine and the time on this devices are correct...
Any Idea what is the timesync Problem with ipaq 114 and active Sync?
the Language settings, time zones are correct on the IPAQ114.
I found a solution for an old IPAQ 6315 :But is that the really solution?
I found out that this is a know problem by HP. There is no current fix, but they did provide me with a work around. The work around is a 2 step process and both must be done before performing an ActiveSync. If not, the problem will become worse by advancing all the appointments in the host's calander. First, in the date and time properities on the PC, UNCHECk the automatically adjuct clock for daylights saving time box. Second, if the IPAQ is located in Eastern Standard Time, set the IPAQ's time zone to Indiana (IN) as they do not observe DST. If in MST set the time zone to AZ. If in CST set the time zone to Saskatchewan, Canada.

What the sticker on the back says?
Is it 5353 (+) / 5355 (+) / 5388 (+)
Black Diamond / King Diamond / ..
Most of these devices have ROMs on chinese forums, You just need to know exact manufacturer and model number.
On the sticker I see:
02-8174-085053
T5353
5T524T9521YT1C2
and another sticker with IMEI. No more.
Phone is tri band, camera 2 Mp, 240x400 screen resolution, pdocread gives (as I remember)
NandOS
-- 3.00 Part00 (cannot read by pdocread)
-- 71.88 Part01 (cannot read by pdocread)
NandFTL
-- 41.?? Part00 (this can read by pdocread and it is ExtROM I think)
Can You tell some URLs for chinese forums? I'm newbie in chinese devices
I found keys combination for hard reset.
For Your information (I think all chinese clones of T5353 haves this things) - press "send button"+"power button" together. After screen blink immediately press "send key" again (not release "power key"). You should see boot menu. Using volume keys select menu item and press "windows" key.
how do you like the phone
Is it OK
does it work good
how much CPU, RAM, ROM
and is this really the hard reset combination
thank you very much

How i update this phone?
Have you tried asking the vendor for the English ROM to update the phone? I've also gotten one of these clones and the vendor gave me the Chinese ROM. He's supposed to get me an English ROM next week.
Meanwhile, I'd like to figure out what the format of that ROM image is so I can cook them myself. The way mine works is by putting a Flash.bin and Loader.bin file on the SD card and going to boot loader. Flash.bin seems to be the one that contains the OS image and everything. It starts with a header B0B0FF.. Here's a thread about the update process: http://www.592zn.com/thread-51422-1-1.html

Good to see some more discussion on flashing these devices, I am also interested on putting new ROM's on my t5353 clone (maybe update to 6.5 OR put newer manilla/sense etc).
The problem we face is these clone phones are all slightly different from each other. Unlike the people in the sub forums for real HTC phones who all have one thing in similar - their phones have the exact same hardware. For us we need to identify the different types of clones. The best thing would be finding out how much different it is from the real HTC. Asking the vendor is also a good idea, as I believe they flash them before they send them out - so they must have ROM files.
Some people should group together and make a database of dumped ROM's from the most common clone devices (touch king, black diamond, t5355+, etc) and we can begin to anylise the ROM's in comparison to original stock copies of HTC models and see what modifications a clone requires to run the operating system.
I am going to be dumping my ROM from mine when I get it for backup / analysis reasons.

This is for a different model of the phone. My phone is the 5353 model with the Marvell PXA310 CPU and 800x480 resolution. I've got plenty of Chinese ROMs but still no English ROM for it...
the T5353 has a k3 hisilicon cpu, check with profilelevel.exe, I also have a chinese phone mfu w71 and looking for english WM6.5 rom.
ok guys ive been following this thread and i too have a clone t5353 phone. i downloaded the flash.bin and loader.bin files, have put them on my sd card but i cannot figure out how to install wm6.5. i have tried a number of combinations of buttons: return key + end key + power button brings me to a calibrating screen (hangs for a minute and shuts off), send key + windows key + power button brings me to a screen that gives me an error and says img file couldnt be found, send key + end key + power button shows me a downloading screen (hangs for a minute and shuts off). can anyone help me with flashing this rom i am desperate!
hello everyone,
i figured everything out on how to flash my roms but now that i downloaded the flash.bin i cant install it because it says the file does not exist when i run bootloader. i have a chinese wm6.5 i am using now and everything is in chinese so i dont understand a word except the time please give me an english wm6.5 rom in .bin format that works! thank you
You need to have Flash.bin and Loader.bin on the SD card. Then (1) Turn off the phone, (2) while holding the "Hang-up" AND "Back" buttons, press and hold the power button. The phone will vibrate and go to a while screen with boot loader information. At least that's how it works on mine.
Still looking for an English 6.5 ROM though...

any know about russian rom for clone t5353?
Best would be to figure out how to build Flash.bin ourselves otherwise we'll always have to hope ROMs get posted on the Chinese web sites.
What I was hoping is to extract the OS image from an official HTC ROM (English, Russian, etc) and rebuild Flash.bin with it. So far what I have is:
Extracting the official HTC ROM
1. Download the exe from HTC or other site and extract the exe using 7-zip.
2. NBHExtract.exe RUU_signed.nbh
3. osnbtool -sp OS.nb
4. osnbtool -d OS.nb.OS.nb 1 xip.bin
5. osnbtool -d OS.nb.OS.nb 2 imgfs.bin
Now using the Chinese ROM, you can also do something similar:
1. osnbtool -sp flash.bin
2. osnbtool -sp flash.bin.BIN.NB0
3. osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip.bin
4. osnbtool -d flash.bin.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 2 imgfs.bin
But I'm now sure now, how to swap the OS part and rebuild Flash.bin. Some site talk about using osnbtool -2bin. Haven't figured it out yet. If someone knows about this, please chime in!
Thanks,
Bob

Asus Mypal A6x6 WM6.1 rom International Edition version 1 (7-6-10)

Yesterday, I decided to give making a non-English rom another try since I was off from work and had little to do. It turns out that with previous attempts, I had a bad file that was keeping the rom from booting. This, aside from perhaps one or two bug fix roms, is the only main release of WM6.1 that I am going to put out for international roms for the A6x6. And yes, non-English WM6.5 roms are in the works.
Thanks to Makuu (especially), Lenny, AstainHellbring, the creators of the tools I used to make this rom, and anyone else that I failed to mention in name who gave me the knowledge to complete this rom.

Instructions
Before you do anything, make sure you have at least a 256mb SD card and a card reader (you can get one at a place like Radio Shack or Office Depot). You also need to install Winrar (found at http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm). Your SD card must be formatted with the FAT16 file system.
To format your SD Card with the FAT16 file system
Step 1: To do this insert the SD Card into the reader and go to "My Computer".
Step 1a: BACKUP YOUR FILES before you start!!
Step 2: Right-click the drive letter of the SD Card reader (differs for each computer, probably either E:\ or F:\ or G:\) and click "Format".
Step 2a: Don't worry about any of the options except for file system, choose "FAT"
Step 3: Click "Start" and wait until it is done
Step 1: Get (OS) rom image
Step 2: Extract files to any folder on hard drive using Winrar
Step 3: Go to the folder where you extracted the files in the RAR archive
Step 4: Make sure that the filename is "CANNES_A_WM6.img"
Step 4a: if the img file it's not exactly "CANNES_A_WM6.img", rename it to that
Step 5: Format the SD card if you haven't already done so using the instructions above
Step 6: Copy the img file to the SD card, see step 6a
Step 6a: Make sure that the img file is the ONLY file on the SD card after formatting
Step 7: Take SD Card out of SD Card reader and put it in the a6x6
Step 8: Make sure that the a6x6 is plugged in via ac adapter before doing the next few steps
Step 9: activate SD Loader using the following instructions {
Step 9a: Hold down the power button and enter button (that's the button in the center of the d-pad)
Step 9b: Double tap the soft reset button while holding the other 2 buttons
Step 9c: After double tapping the soft reset button, keep the other 2 buttons held until a blue screen comes up that says something like Asus Cannes flashing utility
Step 9d: Wait until the process is finished (it's near the end when it says "writing private")
}
Step 10: At this point, your a6x6 should reboot on its own
Step 11: enjoy your updated rom
If you have any questions, feel free to just post or PM me.
As I release new roms, if you have a support question, please give me the rom version so I know what rom you are working with. You can get the rom version from the filename of the rom pack.
Example: Asus_A626_WM614_1
A626 = device (most often it will be A626, will rarely be different), WM614 = os version, 1 = release #

Sweet! DLing German ROM now. Thanks a lot! Will replace Windows Mobile 6.5.3 with this one because I prefer the 6.1 look and feel on my A686.
German ROM is running very well and w/o any problems. BT, GPS, etc. it's all there. Thank you so much! Will donate you some beers via PayPal later.
Flashing, testing french flavour on A696 right now...
A Hebrew Version
Hi Steven,
May you will try to make a HEBREW version?
If you will, it would be great!
Thanks a lot and keep the amazing job!!!
Everything looks right, good work !
I have a Hebrew version built and ready for testing (just as soon as I fix the partitions on my testing SD card; I'm also currently testing linux out for the A6x6, but things aren't going too well)
Polish rom is up and ready for download
Is there possibility to have 6.5.3 internationalized? I can translate it by myself
Yes, there are international versions of WM6.5. It's just that I haven't had time to build roms (I just started college). I should have time over the weekend to put out some test roms for WM6.5.
Update: just got my first international WM6.5 rom working; will upload soon once I find time in busy school schedule (language of rom is German)

First two links (french and german) are broken, any mirrors ?
fixing link right now, thanks for letting me know
Another vote for the Hebrew version
Hi Steven,
Amazing work, I am playing with your ROMs for quite some time, but always return to Asus due to need for Hebrew support.
Hebrew 6.1 will be awesome.
Thanks.

If you do indeed have an Asus Mypal A636n, please save yourself the effort (and headache) of flashing my rom. I clearly state on the 1st post that this rom will NOT work on ANY models other than the Asus Mypal A626, Asus Mypal A686, or Asus Mypal A696. If you do try to flash it, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!
thanks a lot, works fine on french A696 ! great working !

Asus Mypal A6x6 WM6.5 rom International Edition version 1 (1-2-11)

Continuing with the new WM6.5.5 rom that I put out last night, I now have some international roms available for eveyone's use. For everyone who's been waiting, I'm sorry that I couldn't get this out sooner (college and home have been sucking my time away). The languages planned so far for WM6.5 roms are: German, French, Polish, Portugese, Hebrew. If you want me to make roms for any languages that are not on this list, please pm me with your query. I will try to honor all queries, although there will probably be some queries that I cannot do (due to availability of updated materials in the wanted language). At the present, all I have available right now is German and French (this is all I could find in the emulator images for now) for download, but more language roms are coming.
Thanks to Makuu (especially), Lenny, AstainHellbring, the creators of the tools I used to make this rom, and anyone else that I failed to mention in name who gave me the knowledge to complete this rom.
Asus Mypal A6x6 WM6.5 International Edition version 1
Windows CE version 5.2.21234 (Build 21234.5.0.1)
This was tested on an Asus Mypal A626 (and works). It should work with the A686/A696, but the other models were not tested. Any other models not metioned above WILL NOT WORK.

Hi Steven,
May I ask if this release is different from the 6.5 version ( @ 8-30-10 ) except for the international language capability?
I see that this is a somewhat earlier build. Has it any particular reason?
Thanx!
The build for this one is older than the one on August 30. The reason that it is an earlier build is because the WM6.5 emulator images were the closest (and easiest) sources that I had available to get the updated os files from. This is also my first experience with making non-English WM6.5 roms (the process for making WM6.5 roms is similar to making WM6.1 roms, but there are a few different steps). The plan is to build up from the beginning just as I had done with the English WM6.5 roms (except for the international roms, I'll get there a little faster). Another reason to start low is because of availability of language files. The non-English language files aren't exactly provided with the updated os file sources anymore (unless you dump an updated stock rom from another device with the updated os and language files).
I see.
So If I'm right there is no use to change the August version except for wanting other languages than English.
Thanks for the info!

No, it will not. The A636n has a different firmware than the A626, A686, and A696.
Well, school has started for me again, but I wanted to give everyone waiting on WM6.5 international roms an update since I have recently gotten some new requests for more languages. Please see the 2nd post of this thread for details.
Important Note: I would like to remind people asking for new language roms to please pm me instead of asking me in a post in one of my WM6.1 and WM6.5 rom threads. From now on, I will ignore all requests from anyone for new languages that are posted in ANY of my rom threads instead of sending me a pm (if you have already asked me for new languages in the rom threads, your requests have been accepted). This helps to eliminate clutter in my WM6.1 and WM6.5 rom threads since I do not have the power to moderate my own threads (in other words, add or delete posts in any threads I start that are posted by a non-Forum Admin). Thank you.
Hello!
I installed the ROM on my A686 by Steven "FR_Asus_A6x6_WM65_1" that works perfectly.
But I can not change the icons in the Taskbar with DONALDOX_65X_FINAL_1.cab that does not work.
I also want to have transparency for Taskbar : How do I do?
Who can help?
Thank you in advance!
Patrick
