Hi to everyone,
This is the simplest solution I have found to have a multilanguage HD/ without any ROM changes o hacks or anything similar for that matter.
The solution? Force update to Windows Mango 7.5
How to force this update you ask? Here's the info from WPCentral. I have just completed my update and FINALLY have the spanish keyboard and language pack I was desperately needing.
Before we begin, keep in mind that a total of three updates must be installed on the path to Mango: 7392, 7403, and 7720, which is Mango itself. The process will take a while. Some people may already have 7392, in which case things will move a bit faster. I also recommend removing any music and unessential apps from the phone beforehand, as that can significantly cut down on the time it takes to backup and restore the phone's data.
Steps to force a Mango update on phones for which Mango has started rolling out:
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Phone > Settings > Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Time to force the update. Click another button (any of the options above or below the word Update). Then click the Update button again, and this time disconnect your computer from the internet after 1-2 seconds. Do this by pulling out the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc. If it says your phone is already up to date, you didn't disconnect quickly enough and need to try this step again.
Wait 30 seconds or so and Zune should display a notification that an update is available. This is 7392, the first Mango pre-update.
Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
After 7392 is fully installed, you may receive a notification that another update is available. If so, install it now. If not, proceed to the next step.
If the second update isn't popping up on its own, repeat steps 3-5, causing the 7403 update to appear.
Install 7403, brave reader. Speeding right along, isn't it?
Mango time! At this point, Zune should automatically start installing the last update, 7720, aka Mango. If it doesn't happen automatically, force it like we did in previous steps.
This last step is very important! Celebrate your phone’s new found Mango status by purchasing a mango smoothie at your nearest Smoothie King, Jamba Juice, Baskin Robbins, or similar establishment.
Hi there!
Have you tried this? Several of us are making this and none of the new languages are being installed, unless you have made the registry key trick.
People are reporting that Mango is not installing any additional languages. We don't know if its something to do with the update, with the manufacturers or if it will be available an update to enable the languages...
@fsabatino I don't know what do you mean ? Spanish language is already in system from start platform Windows Phone 7 (1 october 2010). Update Spanish language is normal because it's in 5 languages supported by Microsoft from start (English, German, Spanish, Italian, French). You try download update for other languages without registry change - it's impossible.
Hi Necroman. Yes, I have updated to Mango shortly before posting this and it definitely includes new languages.
Budniu, what you say is true only if you have the European version. This applies to all of us who were running the Asian version (sold in Australia) and had English as the ONLY language pack.
Ok, I understand THX.

Any other extra languages also being loaded on the phone? So I may consider to flash the Asia ROM to my trophy.

Thank you so much for the update, I have been looking at the Rogers website a while now looking for it.
Just completed the update. Went from HTC WM6 to this one. This version seems to have a lot more free memory and includes office mobile in the rom.
I am about to try switching from the HTC Generic WM6 ROM to the Rogers ROM as well hopefully it will fix the name display issue for me.
Woooo...maybe I should flash the "Offical" version from Rogers
Damn and I spent so much time flashing the HTC rom... any thoughts so far from this rom?

Just finished the upgrade from the Generic HTC WM6 ROM to the Rogers WM6 ROM. I have not yet bogged it down with all of my 3rd party apps but my general impression is that it seems much faster and responsive. I will update after all of my apps are re-loaded.
Definitely much faster and more memory available then the generic HTC ROM. My one wish is that I could have the Generic Comm Manager background back. The Rogers one is an ugly Blue with Yellow and Red Highlighting.
Hmm, this only work with Rogers?
Can someone post the Radio Version of this Rogers' WM6 update. TIA!

You can try using SDA ApplicationUnlock by installing this Cab file from Rogers. After installing the Cab file run the app unlocker and reboot your phone. Your phone should now be fully application unlocked

I definately prefer the Rogers WM6 ROM to the Generic HTC WM6 ROM. IT is much faster and more responsive plus it has more memory available. The only thing I don't like is the rogers branded startup and shutdown other than that this ROM seems much less bloated.
The Rogers WM6 does perform much better. IE doesn't use/leak as much memory. Does anybody know how to make a custom CAB file with registry settings and other preferences? I enjoy flashing a new OS on my phone daily, but it's the post-configuration stuff that's slowing me down.
apols if this is a dupe thread, but i thought i'd share that HTC are hosting a new upgraded ROM - went online yesterday

ms release it officially then the manufacturers then roll it out for their devices. htc is just one manufacturer of wm devices and you also get network branded devices i.e tmobile mda vario 5. in case of a network branded device you will need to wait for them to provide an update if they do it at all.
then there is xda where none of that matters! as soon as MS release officially there will be all the variants of it on here! once hard spl is out for this device mate watch out
as a new what is this hdspl i keep reading about
SPL's including HardSPL is explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL%20Questions%3F
The official ROM from HTC will be posted on their web site (reasonably soon after the release from MS):
http://www.htc.com
You'll find it under the Support (tab) on the web site. Just select the country/region of your phone (at the top right of the HTC's site) and select the phone.
The ROM update comes as a windows installer - just follow the instructions.
This is safer that blasting on custom ROMs for the squeamish like me

In case you mean "HSDPA" that is a cellular network connection that allows you to do voice and data at the same time. (i.e. surf the internet or send MMS while talking on the phone).
If you mean Hard SPL, read the link provided above.
when will ROM with wm6.5 will come out here?
I'm considering buying a new TP2 (I have a TP with wm6.5) but I want to change when wm6.5 is available for TP2.
I guess I won't be used to WM6.1 anymore... lol
Although I'm sure this may not be an issue, but I think we need to have some testing on upgrading to the Zune 4.8 official client to see if there are any issues with users on the B2 and RTM... or even any new updates introduced due to the arrival of the new client.
On B2 and haven't had any issues with the new Zune software yet.
I also see my most recent restore point available in the new Zune software, but I haven't tried it (and I probably won't until Mango final), so I don't know if it will restore properly as of yet.

Hmm.. I wonder about backups/restoring.. if that's changed any. Thanks for giving a B2 input. Now we need an RTM tester.
I am on RTM and Zune 4.8 is working without problems.
Phone is still unlocked.
P.S. No need to download Zune 4.8 from web, just update from beta to final with check for updates function.
I'm on RTM too and I haven't any problem with this software and phone is unlocked too. I don't tried restore from backup but when I try, I write about this.
Diez this official zune release jeans that mango launch is almost here?
I think you mean here is where to download the official version of the Zune 4.8? If so try this: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27163 for your language you must change from context menu "Change language"
B2 issue
Just updated to Zune 4.8 via update in zune. As of now, phone no longer connects to Zune. Running B2 on an unlocked Roger's Samsung Focus on Telus
Just updated
Hi all
I have just updated to the "Final" version of the Zune software (4.8.2345.0) which was delivered via an over the web update from the "RTM" version.
My phone is WP 7.10.7720.68 and connects without problem to the new Zune.
Thank you Microsoft!
Cheers

Thanks for the hint on manual Zune update! The software did not prompt me for updates, so I tried the manual way as described. In addition to that, Zune installed new drivers for my HD7. The rest works just fine.
I have an HD7 with Mango RTM, works flawlessly.

Sorry never notice that.My bad
Cannot update to ISV 7712
Hi!
Today I wanted to go from 7390 (Custom ansar) to 7720 but update to ISV 7712 beta failed with this version of Zune.
If I go from 4.7 it says that before performing any update (both 7390->7403 and 7403-> 7712) I must update Zune to 7.8 which fails to update to 7712 (tried 3 times).
So I'm stuck at 7403/7390.
Can anyone confirm this or is there any known workaround?
I guess I should wait for the official 7720 update through Zune?
Regards,
Cina.
Which version of Zune are you running?
When I was going from NoDo to the two betas, it made me upgrade to 4.8.2345.0. Once I got to the step to go to 7720, I ran into the same issue. I uninstalled Zune and reinstalled 4.8.2134.0. After that, I had no issues installing 7720 (RTM).

I'm on official Zune 4.8 and Mango 7720.68, no issues with sync. Could it be that you are handling the phone with another program (perhaps the USB enabler or something can interfere)? Check Zune is set to open when the device is plugged in, and be running the latest Zune.
Hi guys,
I have bought a Nokia Lumia 900 AT&T branded from USA and I have unlocked it for work with my carrier "Wind" here in Italy. I have a problem with the language settings. I have only english and spanish! No other language available! I have searched in this Forum a lot of threads about the issue and I have seen there some other people who like to add various languge pack on their Lumia but I must to have an high-level techonolgy capabilities to make this!
I have seen there is a lot of unlock level for sending language packs in cab format and I'm boring reading pages and pages without solving this problem.
This is the question: I like to know how to add italian language to my Lumia 900 and unlock Internet Thetering. I'm not interested to operating system development because I'm not a technology expert. I don't any ATF box I don't know if it exist here in Italy. My phone is original, just unlocked with a code provied from Ebay and the Operating System version is 7.10.8779.8 and the firmware is 2175.2301.8779.12223.
I don't have upgraded the OS because I prefer wait some info about the language update. I have only downloaded the Windows Phone 7 BackupV1.6 but it doesn't work (it's very boring!) because an error appear: the installed ZuneWMDU (4.8.2345.0) version doesn't match with the tool version (4.8.2134.0). I have Zune 4.8 the last version available from his website.
I think every guide provided from you can help all people who have bought a Lumia from AT&T (I think 80% of people registered in this forum).
Thanks to all who can help in advance.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Are you sure this is the only simple precedure? And how do I do for unlock the internet thetering?
Edit: I have added the italian laguage .cab from the website in step by step from the first Operating System to my version. But nothing appear on the setting language section. I don't know if I must to reset the phone for working, I don't have maked any modify and the cabsender write the updates are sent to the phone! Any idea?
You must put all Italian language cabs to cabsender folder, all cabs 8779 and earlier. I added Russian and French language files with this method and all works fine.
Hi haikkk, thank you for your answer. I confirm you I have added all Italian .cabs up to 8779 to my phone but nothing is changed. There is not the italian language in the language settings! I don't understand if I must to reset the phone after updating for to see the new features!
I just tried and Italian language added in system local menu. I just copied this 6 files to cabsender folder, run "WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat" and press B.
(For my OS version i added 8858 cab too)

I confirm you I have sent the cabs in this order and the cabsender program confirm me all the updates are ok. But I don't understand why the Italian don't appear into setting under "display language". Where is my error?
Maybe you need to reset phone then try again? But first backup your data.
I don't any data in this phone and I have reset the phone but nothing changed. I think it's impossible to add language pack on all AT&T Lumia 900 devices!
Hi hace to format the phone but nothing change. There are only English and Spanish. I have tryed to resend the cabs to the phone but I confirm you they survive to format because the Cabsender give an error when I try. Any idea?
What error code you receive?
Hi, the error who appear into cab sender is 801800011 and the error who appear into the phone after updating is "Update unsuccesfull! Unfortunatly , we anren't unable to update your phone. Refer to Zune software..." etc.
