I just bought an Asian Desire (Taiwan version), and would like to change it to a European firmware, so I'd have the right keyboards with rights spelling mistakes for French, Dutch, German and English.
I downloaded the official European ROM: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
I tried to install it. It started well and went into the bootloader (I have version 0,8), but then I got "Error 130".
After looking around on forums, I thought it might not have worked, because I didn't make a Goldcard, so I made one, and tried again. But this time I got "Error 140".
Anybody has an idea of what the problem could be?
well have you rooted your phone?
you don't need to root your phone to install RUUs, just the gold card.
It failed because you have a newer bootloader than the one in the rom you are trying to install. Try the WWE (World Wide English) version 1.21.405.2 - it has the languages you are after.
Thanks for the help! I'm downloading the WWE version, and will try to install it.
I'll get back to let you know if it worked or not ^^. I'm in China, with an awful connection, so it can take a little while .
Thanks! The WWE version works great, and has an AMAZING amount of languages! I couldn't get any happier, as I wasn't hoping to get this many languages!
Now just to get the root, and I'm in heaven <3
Thanks a lot for the super fast and great help!

good day dear users,
sorry for stupid questions.
just getting today my new toy, MDA PRO in german, bought in Austria probably.
it is already open for all sims (so no sim lock, in case that info helps).
i really hope i can convert it somehow to english, can someone tell me if that is possible, and i would be very greatful if someone can even describe me how to do that (hard) software-operation.
thank you very very much in advance!

You will have to flash an English version of ROM onto your HTC Universal.
The latest ROM can be obtained from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/
Make sure it is WWE version (Worldwide English)
Then follow the instructions on this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Note that you must first enter your Universal into Bootloader mode, then follow the instructions in "Instructions for those with Country Code error" if you encounter such error.
I hope this helps.
thank you! it worked!!!
did not believe it would be so easy!!!
Just one thing though: if you need to send it back to factory for repairing, you might have to flash the original ROM back on.
It is supposedly out, and in Russian, but with US/UK ENglish
This rom is in russian, right?

Its russian so not really much use. We need one that says WWE (world wide english).
Not true. One can switch language from Russian to US english. Please share this rom. Thank you!
[someone please provide link]
ENJOY!!!
Thank you I will try this on my HTC S620

How did you get around the "invalid model ID"?
Did the trick with pof's SPL 1.11 work as suggested by johnnylavah?
Or did you just spend money to IMEI check?
It certailnly worked on my non-supercided HTC S620. If your device is HTC S620 regardles or the OS language it will likely accept update.no supercidding is required. DASH handsets would likely require CID unlocking for this upgrade to work.
1. run bootloader upgrade ( well, downgrade) first
2. run rom updater
This is "IU BUILD. TEST ONLY!" ROM.
Anyways...to get your English back after the ROM is upgraded:
Start --> Settings (Настройка) --> press 7 --> press5:
now, in the top most combo box (Кодировка) :
select UK or US English and press left soft button to confirm
in the next combo box select 3rd from the top entry: English Australia (Английский Австралия) and press left soft button to confirm
now, press left soft button 4 times to confrim that changes will become effective after soft reset.
At this stage you may power cycle you Excalibur
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Radio: 4.1.13.44_02.94.90
Model Name HTC-S620
P.S. You do not need to do anything about QWERTY keyboard layout. It's just plain standard QWERTY after the language settings are applied.
And just in case if you do not like default green colour of the home screen, there is one called WIndows Default available that looks a bit more attractive to me

So, just another beta ROM...
Nevertheless it's good to know that HTC is still working/testing WM6 for S620! Hope the final version will appear soon!
Dang - No go for my UK S620 either :-(
Is this an original HTC ROM without any branding?
Are there many differences to the T-Mobile WM6 (exept for the branding)?
Yes, original HTC, no extra branding. no extra bloatware. This ROM is very different to T-Mo DASH WM6 ROM. Much, much better this one. Great improvements accross the board.
Is it possible to go back to the WM5 ROM if the WM6 doesn't work out? If so how do you do that?
Upgraded fine S620 WM5 -> WM6
Hi all.
I have just upgraded from from WM5 on a CID unlocked S620 and all seems to be working fine.
Getting out of Russian is a little tricky, but following the steps in this thread worked fine.
TomTom works (as well as it ever has on WM5/6), UK Vodafone GPRS works, Hotmail and Exchange email working, Google Maps runs OK.
No obvious issues or bugs so far.
General performance seems to be comparable to the last WM5 ROM.
Cheers,
John
ahhh ! i tried it too - i have a htc s621 from rogers so i'm guessing it's because it's not CID unlocked? it says ERROR [294] Invalid Vender ID -any fix to this?
securegsm, can you help us out - the ones who are getting the error, my phone's app unlocked but it's locked to rogers. i tried 2 times but i keep getting the same error. how did you get around this? is your phone unlocked already or it's locked to some provider - if it is, how'd you get around the invalid id? i tried it - it didn't work for me
Hi All,
I've unlocked my SPV M700 Orange 2 days ago, so can use any sim. Now the unable to use GPS, so I went update the ROM. Big mistake is I've downloaded Chinese version. So how can out back to WM5 English version?
I will be appreciated if anyone can help!

Choose a ROM you want (why go back to WM5?):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
Make sure you flash it using SPL. Check www.trinityguides.info for step by step procedure(s).
I have no Idea, I thought going to the factory default, but if you have best advice I would take it. As my phone is booting with Chinese every bit of the screen. If WM6 would replaced I can't refused?
Cheers,
Fuadsaeed
There are many ROM's available but no such thing as the best. You will have to try to see which one is best for you. If you want a "save" start, choose bepe's ROM ...
language is hardcoded into the rom
a new rom a new language
that is if the new rom have a different
language then the last one
WWE == world wide english
Many Thanks T-Rob, my phone is back to HTC setting and GPS working fine too!
cheers to all!

Hi,
I'm completely new to all this but I have done my best to try and figure it all out for myself but I'd still like to make sure I've understood a few things correctly...
I have an SFR s300+ bought here in France. The OS is WM5 and I'd like WM6.
I have allready tried out the "off"+"camera button"+soft reset to see if I needed to install a hard SPL : I do.
I've downloaded Des' Crashproof (due to the reassuring name) SPL.
I can now install that by following the guide without backing anything up yet (correct me if I'm mistaken)...
Once done I will have to copy all my important info and then I will be able to flash any ROM of my choice (English, French, official or not) is that right?
If I'm not mistaken and I can now install any ROM, which English ROM is the best?
I'd also like to know if I have to install a radio after this or will the one I have at the moment (that works fine) be preserved?
If I do have to install a radio which do you recommend for SFR in France considering I sometimes go to Spain.
One last question ; does installing an update to WM6 require a product key or registration of any sort like Windows on the PC or can I just flash and use freely?
If anyone takes the time to answer any of my questiions I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
Yes, install the ROM you like.
Best ROM? impossible to answer - lots of good ones about - try bepe black and blue karmba, mary - any recent English ROMS.
Although you do not NEED to install another radio - you probably SHOULD because your battery life under WM6 will be terrible with your current radio.
I would recommend 1.46.00.11 - although an radio from 1.41 upwards should be OK with SFR and on other networks in other countries. (I'm an SFR customer and connect in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, UK etc.)
You will not need a licence key key to work with WM6.
Happy flashing.
Thanks for the answers!
Ok, well I'll give it a go when I'm a little less tired and report back...
One last thing, the battery life under WM6 comment got me wondering, is it worth the hassle (WM6 that is)?
I would guess so considering all the WM6 ROMs that people have gone to great lengths to make...
All opinions are welcome and appreciated.
Hi All
i am very new in this handheld business and before i go ahead and crash the device i thought i could get some assistance , i already read some of the threads regarding from french to english and chinese to english.My thing is i just bought this yesterday in italy and once i get started with it . reallized that the whole thing is ,in italian its from a cell provider called TİM in italy.So can anyone guide my step by step what to do in order to make this device all english
İ really appreciate all your help folks
You must download from ASUS 2 firmwares, ENG and CHN.
Extract in your SD the folder 2577 from ENG version
Overwrite autorun.exe in SD\2577 with the one in CHN version.
Put your SD in your p320 and play!!!
The difference is in autorun.exe, chinese version doesn't check language, so you can flash what you want!!!
Thanks i will try it as soon as possible , since i work on a cruiseship , the internet connection is very bad , so first i have to get the chinese firmware since i have the the ENG version , from the CHN version i just need the autorun.exe nothing else right and delete the autorun from the ENG version.
I ll give it a try and post it but really appreciate it
ASUS TIM Italina to English language
Hi
i tried to flash the english.bin using the chinese autorun.exe but it still doesn't work , i even tried to flash the whole chinese 2577 file first to see , if that would make a difference , in the end it still gives failed message (during soft reset) or it tells me to ensure its the same language .
So i am looking for other ways.
Please anymore assistance is needed
thats it
no more help i guess from members of this site , very disappointed , i have spoken finally with Asus here and the advised me to sent the device in they will be loading the mobile 6.1 professional english version for $ 30.
Again thanks for those who at least tried to respond to me
