Asus A696: WM6 update with different language

hi all,
i'm going to buy Asus A696. the problem is that it is not yet on the market in our country so i'm thinking to buy it from another country - it means different language version of WM5.
my question is: with coming update of WM6 would i be able to flash the device with different language version than previously installed WM5? all i would need is WM6 in english, i don't even need my mother language..
cheers!

I buy A696, I need change the language, French to inglish, is this possivel?
Tanks

yes, me too.
i have a696 with wm5 Engish, now i want to upgrade to wm6 Chinese.
can anyone help?
1.how to save current wm5 rom for backup?
2.how to pass the language check and upgrade to wm6 Chinese.
i only have the official wm6 file, it's the .img file, from asus site.
thank you very much. please help us out experts!

and yeah, if i can flash out and save my English wm5 rom, i can share it with upstairs. so you flash my English Wm5 first, and upgrade to Enghlis wm6 directly!
isn't that sound good to you guys?
so, everyone else, please help us.

anyone has experience flashing to another language? where can one get ROM?

I tried, with the official version of Asus, but don't work, says "Language doesn't match"
We have to wait for xda patch.

What we can do is:
1. attach PDA to the PC with USB cable and wait for ActiveSync to sync
2. open a command prompt
3. run pdocread -t
4. run pdocread -l
5. run pdocread 0x0 0xXXX nk.nb0 where 0xXXX is the size of the rom returned in the step 3 (for our WM5 should be 0x2200000)
6. wait until the process finish
Now we got a copy of our original PDA firmware
To upgrade the PDA back to the origiginal or to another version we got, we have to:
1. attach the PDA to the PC with USB cable and CLOSE ActiveSync
2. press on the PDA the keys POWER+ENTER+RESET, the PDA bootloader will start in upgrade mode by USB and wait for the firmware from the USB
3. use usbloader to upload our nk.nb0 or any other firmware we got to the PDA
This is what I have read from that forum, but I've not tested jet cause I have only the copy of my firmware and waiting that someone make a copy of his english PDA to be able to upload the WM6 WWE update.
That is the user "l0v3r" says in the other post.

I am testing it now. The first part is all right no language problem, now there is a version problem. Update older than the pda.

Network Wizard for Europe

I currently use the official HTC Asia (Dopod) WM6 ROM, ver. 3.7.707.1. It has Infinitiq Solutions Network Wizard ver. 2.16.12, auto-installed from Extended ROM, but certainly with settings for the South-East Asian providers only.
Would someone help me and upload a .dat file with the European providers? (my one is T-Mobile Hungary). I guess the settings are stored in 'Windows\netwiz.dat'.
Thanks in advance!

Anybody has a proper netwiz.dat file?

on my device (B&B4.1) i can't find the dat-file, but somewhere here on xda i found the network wizard with european providers, no idea where i found...
Maybe this will help you ? Never tried on my own because in the roms that i use it's always included, so i never had to use...
there's a readme inside the zip. Hope, this will help you...
Cheers, Peter

petervbeck, NikMel,
thanks for the files!
So, it seems to me so far that I can only get the settings of European providers if I change the whole program, because there is no European dat file avaible and compatible with my version of Network Wizard.
cheers

İtalian TİM Asus P320 to English

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

[Q] help updating samsung 8500

hi there, i have a samsung wave gt-s8500 unlocked but originally to orange france...
i have bada 1.0 1007131900_lis_s8500jpjg2_kor (arabic rom) i just buy him with this rom.....
i cant update with samsung kies because it tell me that there isnt any update....
i want to update to bada 1.2 european rom(i live in portugal) and with a rom that have portuguese language because this kor rom just have english/french/asian languages
can anyone tell me how to do and wich rom i have to use
thanks

well with multiloader i installed bada 2.0 european version(last one on samsfirm) but there is a problem in the sms... i received sms and the sender name doesnt appear, only the number, even if he is on my contact list....
i installed bada 1.2 european and still the same problem....
i get back to bada 1.0 arabic version and now the problem with the sms is fixed....
so what is the problem?? why cant i use bada 2.0 or 1.2 european version on this phone with sms correctly being display... this is very strange...

To solve the problem, you need to install a full European firmware. Bada 1.2 is preferrable.
As you live in Portugal, you may prefer a firmware for Portugal. If so, choose a firmware with the OXC csc. (OXC csc is for Spain, Greece and Portugal. After installing, go to Pre-Configuration setting and select the correct csc for Portugal (I think it is TPH).
You can always upgrade to bada 2.0 whenever it is available (hopefully in October, or maybe next; Samsung never keep to their promised dates).

can i use de csc file of bada arabia 1.0 in multiloader flashing the 2.0 bada european??

No. You cannot. And it makes no sense in trying a csc from Arabia bada 1.0 in a bada 2.0 firmware for Europe.
If you choose to flash with the bada 2.0 beta firmware, download a complete firmware from samfirmware.com for bada 2.0 and flash with the complete package.
In case you need to replace the csc file therein with aany particular csc, you need to modify that yourself. There lots of tutorials for creating your own csc for bada 2.0 beta firmware.
See these tutorilas:
1. How to Create your country CSC File for bada 2.0 firmware or
2. Add your CSC of your country to any Firmware v2.7
You can as well download from here, a bada 2.0 firmware with OXC csc. Firmware XPKH1

thanks spacks for your help
btw
can i replace this file you upload on the S8500XPKH3 ## 2.0 2011 August OXAKH3??
NB: I have uploaded the OXC csc file (Greece, Spain and Portugal),
