Hello everybody, this is my first post. This may seem a little basic or not I'm not sure but I need your help.
I want to upgrade my cellphone software from android 2.1 to android 2.2 but there are several problems around there. I can't get my cellphone connected to Kies so I can't check for an official android 2.2 firmware.
I have been searching other ways to do it and I find here and in other sites Odin to install the new firmware.
I have 2 questions about this.
Does anybody know a way to make kies work? (it just said connecting but it never ends, it happen after installing an update for kies from samsung)
Why there are diferent ROMs for europa, america, etc ? I mean what will happen if I install a ROM that was build for europa in my cellphone. Does anybody know a ROM (2.2) that works fine for my cellphone in Uruguay (America latina).
Thanks in advance.

First of all Bienvenido or Welcome...whichever fits your language
Ok, now.....Kies, not familiar with it but on the ROM question...you want a WWE ROM which are multi language. I will move your thread to the right area...you'll get the help you need.

Hi there, i'm from Uruguay too and want to upgrade to Gingerbread. The model here is 9000T and comes with 2.1 upgrade 1. Theres no upgrade via Kies.
I've tried the spoofing method, but i still get a "This device cannot be upgraded" (but in spanish ).
I got too many stuff installed, so i'm trying not to use the ODIN method, but for now it's the only option left.
Any recomendation?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice.
Tried that already, the problem is that I need english on my phone, and living in Taiwan, the default is chinese. So anyway, after contacting the service dept, they told me that they regulate the IME numbers to the O/S therefore, you can not download a ROM that was not originaly shipped with the device.
Which really makes things difficult for me. Currently I am trying to negotiate with them to update the O/S themselves at the service centre, and would you believe, they have to get Authority from Head Office to make the change.
I really dont understand, its only a firmware image, and since I already bought the phone why are they worrying about what IME number runs what O/S.
Its beyond me.
So anyway, to anyone who is looking to CHANGE the O/S between languages it seems not that easy to do. Just buy the phone with the right language from the start and things will be much easier.
Please....
Please.....
Any holy hand........
is it that dificult????
or is it so new that none of the master herewent through this?
Well, after spending a total of 2 hours on the phone with O2 Asia, 3 different people the outcome is : "THEY SUCK!"
They have tried to tell me that it is NOT possible to upgrade the ROM image, and if I did change teh ROM image, it would VOID the warranty, what these things have in common is beyond me.
They are full of crap. I will NEVER buy a phone from them again and I strongly suggest to anyone thinking about it that there are many other alternatives out there, forget O2.
They are very polite but very very useless.
Their recommendation was "Return the phone" , and get another make.
So people keep away from these guys! That's my advice.
If I am in you posisition I would not think about the waranty right now.
The most important is to get the rom first then until you encounter a prob. you flash the rom to the original one that come in sales pack.
Thats it.
Don't forget to post here If you have got the rom.
Same with me either if I get it first I will post it here.

have you tried registering on the site????
you should be able to register no matter what language your rom is....
it says within 7 days of purchasing your phone your imei no becomes available for registering
How come some some imei will be imidiately accepted, and some have to wait for 7 days?
Because I use my own imei and they say must wait 7 days, and I use my friend's imei they accept it imidiately and say no upgrade needed.
or maybe you're entering the wrong imei, like me tried more than 10 times. it say enter the right imei or wait for 7 days after purchase.
the IMEI will be accepted once you register it at the website but do keep in mind that the IMEI can be register on the country site only (i think) also as for the new ROM i think they have removed it since i couldn't find it anymore .... well i have uploaded the rom to esnips ... link down
http://www.esnips.com/doc/5a03b941-868e-45f8-a125-bcca46523b47/Zinc_WWE_RC4070131_3
but do keep in mind doing the upgrade might void the warranty

Hi, meohp. Can you also give me the eng WM6 rom?
Oaoa, I check every 5 minutes and nothing at all. Is the update only apply for Europe only? Is there any links to download the update yet?
Is there any bros here from Singapore? oaoa, dying waiting .
Malaysia, haven't gotten it.
no updates here in china
From sg.. no updates yet.. been trying every 5mins too..
I'm from Singapore, no update so far.
I also tried to manually do the update via "How to manually... " thread. It did not work for my Desire.
same here, tried but failed in the manual installation. guessed have to wait for OTA. sianz

u get the "error status 7" is it?
I am trying the manual update. Download the file, change to update.zip, upload to sd card, follow the procedure and ... got error status 7. Google around but still no answer so far ...
Appreciate very much if anyone can help.
I think I found out the problem. In Singapore, the Eclair version is considered branded, build 1.19, which include the chinese keyboard and other stuffs that normal version does not have. And hence, the OTA update downloaded does not fit to it.
So I guess, either we wait for the OTA upgrade or we try to flash some other stock rom and do the manual update ...
So troublesome to try since need to redo all the settings, installing software ...
You guys got any ideas.
I think is because of the roms u guys using now. For now, only WWE or Europe Rom is eligible for update.
Before update to Froyo, I got software version 1.21.
Hope this help.

Philippines here, no update as well
nothing in hong kong either. seems we're all on the same boat now
okie, after a lot of readings, confirm that Asia rom got no update yet. So if wanna get the update, need to flash the WWE rom 1.21.405.2 first, then upgrade. Or else, wait for HTC to launch the asia rom upgrade.
So sad, since Asia rom got chinese keyboard (I think this is the only difference), if we try to use WWE general rom, we need to find the way ourself. So, either wait or itchy do, it's up to us.

Froyo includes all the keyboard u need. u can type chinese (pin yin or zhu yin or anything u like) even writting recognition (I haven't try that yet).
But definitely got chinese keyboard.
oh, okay, thx a lot. So I should try to flash WWE rom then upgrade, shouldn't I? Anyone from Asia got problem of flashing WWE general rom? or put in another way, anyone from Asia successfully upgrade to Froyo?
OK those from Asia who want to do the update to froyo:
I don't know if it will work directly from 1.19, you can try, but you may need to get your phone to WWE v 1.21 first. For this you WILL need a gold card, you will also need a goldcard in order to upgrade to froyo from the update.zip
I am doing this as we speak, for the nth time rebooting hoping it works this time.
IF it works, and it's a big IF right now, I will post detailed instructions.
Edit: GOT IT! Woo hoo.
Stay tuned for a post in the General section about how to upgrade to Froyo if your hands are itchy like mine
bro, pls post detail instruction, thx a lot.
haha, very itchy, so try to flash the 1.21 rom then magic happens, got updates when press check now and ... installing. Everything works great. In fact, do not need to do the manual update, OTA will do.
Cheers bro.
Indonesia no update yet.so if i want to flash rom 1.21. I need made goldcard.isn't it?.thanks.

Hey everyone...
My friend recently bought this wildfire. Now he wants update to gingerbread. But he doesn't want to root. So can anyone please help me finding a guide to update. An official update would be better...
Thanks....
Not possible, because there isn't any official update out, and, in all probability, there never will be one.
Thanks for the reply...
Then how can I upgrade without rooting? Is there any way?
No there isn't... The latest official update for Wildfire is 2.2 froyo...
However, he can sell the Wildfire and get a Wildfire S
Dun forget to hit "Thanks" coz I know that I helped you
Can you provide me a link for the froyo update?
Check your friend's phone, since he has recently bought it, I am pretty certain it must have Froyo.
But, in any case, it is available here: (Check the one's with the word 'Froyo' in them. The 1 RUU available is WWE 2.22.405.1)

Did you check his phone? Please do that before you flash this, because, if he is already on 2.2.1, then there is absolutely no point in flashing this ROM. (Android version can be checked in Settings > About Phone > Software)
But, to flash an RUU (EXE File), connect the Wildfire to the PC, and simply run the EXE file. It will do the rest. The only prerequisite is that the Sync drivers are installed. This can be found on the SDCard which came bundled with the phone.
Re-iterating it to you again - Check your friends phone. Don't perform this if his phone is already on 2.2.1
Checked it... It's eclair...
Thanks for your help...
Respect !!!
Also I wanted to know if anyone of those roms is gingerbread?
Also should I flash a rom of asian version only?
Thanks...

No, as I stated in my first post in this thread, there is no official version of Gingerbread available. The ones starting with 2.x in the filename is a Froyo ROM, and the ones starting with 1.x in the filename is an Eclair ROM.
It's not necessary to flash Asian version. You can get a WWE version as well. (Like 2.22.405.1).
Just one last thing - Has your friend checked for any OTA (Over-The-Air) updates? It can be found in Settings –> About phone –> System software update . In that way, if available, your friends Wildfire will be flashed with an India specific Froyo ROM. If there doesn't exist one, you can go ahead with flashing an RUU

Hello guys, just want to apologize in advance for being an Android noob.
I need help getting my dad's AT&T S3 to run in Chinese. I've searched and haven't been able to find a solution. My understanding is that I need to root the phone and then flash it with a ROM/firmware. Im having a hard time finding out which firmware includes the language and I'm not sure if the international firmware (I9300) works on the AT&T version. I just need the basics to get his phone with a Chinese UI and nothing else. It would be great if someone can point me in the right direction.
If you're talking about chinese keyboards, you can download them in the market. Most of them are pinyin based and handwritten ones are harder to find. If you want the language on the phone to be chinese, it involves gettig root and going into a xml files and removing the locale codes, someone also made an app that does that but still requires root,and all you need is stock firmware. It was posted in this Q&A forum a while back but you might have to go back many pages before you find it, I dont quite remember the title but it had either Arabic or Hebrew in the title.

Thanks! I want the language on the phone to be in Chinese. I'm not sure what you mean by stock firmware. Do you mean the current firmware on the phone? Or is there like a stock firmware that includes multiple languages. Could you give me an example?
Yeah, stock is the firmware that the phone ships with. Since I haven't touched any of the custom roms, Im not sure myself if the devs would add the chinese locale specifically at all. So say for my S3 on Rogers, the most up to date DLK4 if I remember the firmware code correctly. Took me awhile to refind this Language Enabler, but remember to root first.

The Rom you need is called Dandroid. It has Chinese and Vietnamese language built in. I install it for my friend who doesn't know English.

Also, do not flash the I9300 firmware. It will brick your phone.
Hi guys...
I've used the search function on the forum and it has come up blank.. Not sure if i'm wording the problem correctly but couldn't find anything so that why as a last resort i've decided to post...
I gave my m8 my Galaxy Ace 2 and he updated it for me to the 4.1.2 Jellybean, and to be honest when I had the phone back off him it ran like a bag of crap..
I asked him to restore my phone to the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 but when I got it back off him the phone was in Russian.. I have managed to change the language to English but there are a lot of icons on the phone now that are still in Russian.
Can anyone tell me where to get the 2.3.6 Gingerbread BTU firmware from so I can get it flashed to how it was originally..
As I said I have searched on here and on Google and it comes up with links that are dead...
Any help would be great
Thanks all and look forward to hearing from you as soon as you can..
