Spanish version of Windows Mobile 6.0 to English (M88 Miphone)

I recently purchased two M88 Miphones from China (Windows Mobile 6.0 version). Both were supposed to be in English but when they were shipped to me, one was in English and the other Spanish. How can I change the language from Spanish to English? Or maybe I can install an entirely new English version of Windows Mobile 6.0? Can I extract the ROM from the English one and use it for the other (Spanish) one? Please help. Thanks.
It's great to find a way to install or restore the Windows on M88. My one just died. I haven't access to anything but the "phone" functions, so i need to restore it somehow from my PC. Some advices?

Hi, I think there is a way to change your Windows to English. I received the same phone with the same problem. I wrote to the supplier and they respond with the decision: they provided the original english WM6 ROM for M88 MiPhone on the website, so you can download it from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/168534489/DX.SKU16783.UPDATE.ENGLISH.AUG01.rar
But my problem is that I can't go in to the bootloader mode - just don't know how so to start loading the Windows OS. The instructions on the site are very poor and don't work. So I'm stuck again. Here there are the instructions:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
And some more instructions from my correspondence with the supplier, which shows different way of putting the phone in to the bootloader mode:
"we have a better idea to solve this inconvenience for you
we had updated a file on our website for you
you can download it and put it in your memory card to update the language into English.
you can put the file in the memory card no need to creat a folder for it
and insert the card into your cellphone
press the power bottom and the home bottom together
a few second later there would be a message on the screen shows you can press the home bottom again to restart the cellphone"
So maybe you can see they are showing different ways to enter the boot loader. Neidher 2 of them are working for me.
Since I have this phone I didn't find a way to enter the bootloader mode! I tried every combination between the keys but NOTHING! The only thing what I can do with the buttons is SWITCH OFF, SOFT RESET AND HARD RESET.
Please if somebody discover how to do that on that phone -M88 to share here with the rest of us!
Best of luck!

Hi, I'm From Brazil
I'm selling this phone here in my country.
I think I've got same problem here. But I've tried to get bootscren and it seems to be that procedure correct.
Once you shutdown the phone first remove it battery for 10 seconds, and than put back into the phone. Than press power and home(that center buttom) until phone show 2 messages(one for master boot and other for clear boot).
After this message you may release power buttom and keep pressing home buttom untill phone shows it boot screen.
You will face a "downloading program, please wait" message on phone screem
But be extremelly carefull than, make sure you have a power cable attached to the phone and it battery at least 90% charged because update took lot of time sometimes.
I'm telling that because today I have one M88 "dead" in my hands because I did not followed all this procedure and after 35 minutes, by mystake I pressed reset buttom.
Now my phone not even turns on, nor charge it battery, is dead.
But I think using one of those "BOX" devices I will ressucitate it!
Thanks m8!
The thing is that when I press the 2 buttons at once I can only get blue screen for less than 1 second and after that Windows is loading. When it is done - the phone is after hard reset. I've tried hundreds of times - always the same. I can't get messages asking me to load software - only hard reset is the result. I've tried any other combination, including the reset buton under the cover, next to USB, but never managed to enter the service mode or boot mode or whatever it is.
One week I'm wasting my time in doing hundreds of attemts to enter the bootloader and nothing! How then do you make a hard reset on the M88?
Do you thing if I can use backup from english version of the same model that will change the situation - the spanish will be substituted by english? And if it's possible can you upload such a backup, made by Spb backup software for me, please?
Best regards
I have stupid problem. Some files disappeared, some programs stopped working and the entire system blocked. I made many soft and hard resets, which fixed the things... for a while. After one hour it's blocking again, without any settings, or interventions.
I downloaded the ROM, created a "root" folder in the card and unzipped everything there.
The thing is that it ROM-boot looks too fast - only couple of minutes. Can it be?

Go ahead
But be pretty calm when performing update or you gonna get a bricked phone.
But is it possible that the update takes only few minutes? Or i'm doing only hard reset?

Yes it's possible. Today I finally managed to make the update - it took only 3 minutes. Now I have English OS on my M88!
It's a really nice phone isn't it?

How to install WM6 ROM - English version on M88 MiPhone from SD card
Please download the original ROM from here
I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart.
After the restart it will load the English OS on your M88
Enjoy
the mine is dead too.

M88 english bootloader
Here is the fix, sponsored by wirelessandmorestore.com
Copy both of these files to your computer.
http://uploading.com/files/YE6JJ36Y/update.img.html
http://uploading.com/files/TA1N0MBA/uploader.img.html
Plug in your phone and copy them to the SD card.
Turn the phone off.
Press the button on the top and the round button on the face at the same time and continue to hold it. As you are holding it, the phone will turn and go thorugh a couple steps before it says something like 'downloading image' or 'updating image' something like that.
Once it gets to that screen, you can let go of the buttons and the phone will update and reboot. This will take a couple of minutes. It will be in English when it turns itself back on and loads Windows.

sound?

hi there
i just managed to install android onto a HTC "Kaiser" TyTn2.
everything i need seems to work fine except sound and wifi.
i installed RLS15 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759894
using KaiserCustomRUU.exe
now there seems to be no sound. i called a number, and i hear nothing at all. i tried pressing speaker, and same no sound. vibrates working though. i also tried pulling the vibrate tab but it didnt work. still no sound.
about wifi, i have a Ad-Hoc network from my computer (which i can connect to from my ipod touch 3g - iOS4), but even after turning Wifi on in settings, it just doesnt seem to see my network....
btw i got no "welcome to android" or set up or anything... i did hold the DPad
any help?
I'm not sure but try out another Radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 <---- Here
Flash it with HARDSPL or just using CustomRUU when in the tri-color screen.
I could be wrong but that's what I'm guessing
Wi-Fi... Wich kernel did you use?
Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 Post 118
And use the Androidupdate I attached, It's the one from Liquid wich should fix the Wi-Fi
Let us know if it fixed it
(God i had to edit it a million times before i did it right )
calls do definately go out. i called someone, i coudnt hear anything, and they called me back.
What do you mean by "Welcome To Android" ?
i read in some website that the first screen when booting android for the first time is Welcome to Android

In some builds, when you boot Android, it gives this kind of tutorial on how to use your phone (Wich has as title "Welcome to full android on Kaiser" for example), time and date settings and connect to Google account, It's possible that it isn't in the one you use
Don't worry about it, the welcome to android doesn't show when u press D-pad, the D-pad is to get into the menu when ur kernel is booting (the one with black background and white letters)
The menu is to install your system, make backups, clear dalvik and others
ok... but what do i do now about the sound? (and the wifi if posibble)

Sound=New Radio
Wi-Fi is probably androidupdate
[SOUND]
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
Scroll down until you see this: KAISER Radios These Radios were ripped from Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs.
Pick a radio and download it.
HARDSPL IS NEEDED FOR THE RADIO!
Extract the file and change the name from the NBH file to KAISIMG.NBH if the name is something else.
Copy KAISIMG.NBH onto the root of your sdcard and plug your sd card into the phone.
Hold down the camera button and turn the device on or reset it.
When you see a tri-colored screen, release the camera button.
When you see a blue text with something like RADIO (i guess) press the power button (just 1 little press, no long pressing)
The device will now update your RADIO, when finished just reset it.
Now reinstall your Android version by holding down the D-center button when asked, then selecting Install System and make it clear data.
[Wi-Fi]
Copy the androidupdate.tgz into your Andboot folder
Reboot the phone and press D-center button when asked
Choose the option to install update
Wait for it to finish and just press quit to boot Android

i just managed to put the KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1.71.09.01.nbh (which i renamed to KAISIMG.NBH) and i put it on the root after a couple of hours figuring out how to make the phone show up in explorer
i tried starting exactly as you told me, but it boots directly to android - no tricolor. it worked fine before i installed android. so what do i do now?

I don't think there's another way, just, turn phone off, hold camera button in while pressing the power button once
Release the camera button after you see the colored screen

Doesn't show much more than I already said
Did you put hardspl on it anyways?
Thanks... What i managed to do was to simply get into the tricolors by holding power+home, then i connected to computer, and SPL'ed from CustomRUU. it worked, and sound is working. i tried your way but it woudnt detect my .NBH. thanks anyways
but where can i get a androidupdate.tar for the wifi for?
btw quick point, but my camera seems to work!!!! i remember reading that the camera WONT work on android. (it didnt work before installing the latest radio)
Thanks for the file. i just tried installing the liquid update from this post, and all i get is error under wifi (before wifi would turn on - but it kept on searching and found nothing). i did install a old update before this. could that have messed it up?
i also have a problem with USB mounting. I click turn on USB storage, and it works randomly. it works 1 time - doesnt work 10... replkuggin and stuff doesnt work. as in "Android Phone" is showing in Eject, but nothing is showing in explorer
EDIT
-----------------------
I just re-installed android and now installed the liquid update.
NOW wifi turns on, but it just scans (has been scanning for 5 minutes)
my ipod touch sees the network immediately.

It could be that it's not possible to connect to an ad-hoc network, I've got no idea about that.
Hope someone else will post here and answer that.
U should really try connecting with a normal Wi-Fi network
Go onto the street and look for appartments or houses with open networks just to test?

Phone won't start up ?

Here's the thing , I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone a while back (probably using an already outdated software , if i remembered correctly it was 2.3.3 , but i knew i followed the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650)
Today, my phone asked if I wanted to update the software (like an automated software update) and i could choose to update or not and i chose yes but now , my phone won't start up for like 3 hours already . I tried turning it on but it won't turn on , i tried charging it but there isn't any lights which was supposed to be there .
So I decided to google it and i followed the instructions here
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/26720
but after installing both , choosing my phone , followin the instructions on update service , it gets stuck on "it contains a modified software that cannot be updated" so decided to come back here to ask you guys what I should do .
Right now , all I want to do is for my phone to start up again , any ideas ?
edit : right now , i took out the battery , and put it back in . This time when I tried to turn it on , the vibrate is there which wasn't there initially and theres 1 flash of the green light on the side of the phone .
and also , i think its recognized by the computer because i can hear the sound notification (the same sound when you plug a USB into a computer) which wasn't there before I did the update service thingy .
edit 2 : it won't go into safemode either when i tried clicked the right and left buttons below the display (the menu and back button) and the power button after that . yes i tried reinserting the battery .
edit 3 : I'm not sure if this'll help but my phone is recognized as SEMC flash device (i checked on device manager) and theres a green colour non flashing light when i plug my phone into the pc .

[Q] Would like help-problems after JB update

incoming wall of text:
I have an xperia S. It had the international/generic ICS on it and i was very happy with it...(im in the UK on giffgaff and this seems to be the best for me)
a few days ago on a pc forum i read that sony had finally released JB for my handset, there was some arguing because it didnt show up when trying an OTA update but the advice was to plug the handset into a pc and use the sony update companion program.
I went through the process to update to JB using this method but when told to reconnect the phone my pc bluescreened; in total it bluescreened 5 times on the trot and my phone seemed to be 'in limbo'.
realising from the stop message in windows my rear usb 3 ports were the problem i plugged the xperia into the 'normal' front usb 2 port and tried it again- this time the process completed and i thought that all was well.
of course all is not well but im hoping its easy enough to fix. The problem is i randomly dont get any notification sounds.no whatsapp,calls,texts, twitter mentions... nothing; then i get home and take the phone out of my pocket and the led is flashing and i see i have missed messages etc.
so my question is how to fix it, but also is there kind of a way to ..... format it.. so i have a clean slate ?? Im going to assume at some point i will need to flash it with..something; what if anything will i lose (and therefore need to backup) will i be able to save things like my poweramp prefs and playlists ??
thankyou for any help, i have tried to include everything i feel might be relevant.

4: a screen came up saying do not disconnect (with a big green android in the background) so i pressed home, volume up and power button, got into the TWRP recovery, and rebooted into a stock recovery save. i thought everything would be ok.....
5: now, when i turn it on, (just pressing the power button, the screen that came up before saying do not disconnect (with a big green android in the background) is now all messed up, screen tearing, pixelating, looks like the static on an old TV with no reception, just static channel) then goes dark after 3 - 5 seconds. boots into samsung logo, and i get to the home screen, but it is laggy, sometimes glitchy..... sometimes automatically powers off.... still no way to clean up the TAB 3....
6: my Question: is there any way that i can get it back to stock everything? (os, apps, data, etc) because my recovery doesnt fix the sluggishness, or the static screen before start up......... what would happen in TWRP recovery if I format everything on internal storage and external storage? erase all apps, data, photos, videos, and os? could i get the samsung TAB 3 stock files somewhere and reinstall them all with odin? please help? !
(I hope this was pretty straight forward...... )
or would I just have to go back to the store where i bought it and have them reinstall the stock?
download stock Firmware from sammobile.com and flashl it with Odin.
Make sure that the Samsung drvers are installed in your PC.
I hope i can help :good:
