Hi,
I read in a lot of threds, messages where poeple are experiencing no brand device with missing language. Everything could be solved by installing MoreLocale 2 from te market. But I ask you, how can it be? Mine came from Expansys and it has only English anf Franch. Also after flashing over the last Europe RUU ROM, I always got only English anf Franch, while other people have more language.
How can it be?

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.
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?
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!

The same here. Mine came with only English and Franch language. After fleshing nothing changed...I was looking for Italian language, but nothing has changed. WHY?

I exchanged some mails with HTC about this. The language that is shown by the phone relates to some internal ID of the phone (CID? IMEI?), not easily changed. The ROM only reads that info and chooses the languages that appear for selection.
My guess is that we need to root the phone first.
Either way, morelocale2 solves 99% of the problem.
Where did you buy your desire? Is it from polish distribution sources? I've bought mine about a week ago, and there is polish locale available (settings->lang and local..).
If there is an option to rip rom from the device, I can do it for u, but afaik there is no such option till desire is rooted, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi
There is root acces,
I have rooted my phone but nothing changed !
I am not able to flash and get Polish language
Any ideas ?
