Possible to extract language specific part from romdump? - P3600 Software Upgrading

Everyone is looking forward to WM6 roms but there's not even a german WM5 ROM out that has GPS enabled.
Is it possible, given a romdump from a GPS-enabled german device, to make a ROM with at least parts of the localized features (keyboard, character recognition)?
I know you can't simply flash the romdump but could it help for making a cooked german ROM?
Update: I just saw that a way was found to reconstruct the ROM from a romdump on Hermes:

Would this help?

I'd like to know this too. Cause the non-german keyboard is a real drawback... before i used transcriber which is useless too now.

I found another thread that might help us. Well at least partially:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1165397
The title is "German Input (formally known as German Language Changer) - WM5 and WM6 Support" and it's for Hermes.
The file changes the ROM in a way that at least keyboard, spellcheck and word suggestions are german. Personally I don't mind the english OS, just the english keyboard and word recognition.
If anyone knows how to create this for Trinity, I would forever be in their debt.

Need help upgrading to Chinese ROM from English

Hello,
I found a lot of random posts about upgrading Wizard from English ROM to Chinese, but i can't find a comprehensive one for beginners.
The thing i want to accomplish is to be able to read CHT file names, CHT song titles, view CHT websites etc. The OS itself doesn't need to be CHT, in fact, i prefer it stays in English. What's the most straight forward way to get this result? (some kind of language pack like in Windows XP?)
If I end up having to change the OS from English to Chinese, will the hard reset feature continue to work (restore the CHT OS to a clean state, rather than restore it back to ENG OS)? Can someone point me to a comprehensive post about how to step by step change from ENG OS to CHT? I have the unlocked Cingular 8125 phone.
Thanks a lot

I have a self-cooked .CAB file that can bring a WWE device into CHS compatible (with CHS display and Chinese Region selection for IE) without the needs of ROM-Upgrading, but, although it can display traditional Chinese character, it's not CHT.
to find CHT rom, you should go http://bbs.pdafans.com where you can find many thing you want.

Latest ROM for swedish Qtek 9100?

Hi all.
I´ve searched and searched but havn´t found either answer or file regarding my question.
I recently bought a used Qtek 9100 (still have warranty thou) and it has all the standard bugs of the old ROM. The ROM version I have in my unit is:1.3.7.13 SVE which obviously is an old one.
I´ve tried registering on the myqtek site to get the latest update ROM but without luck since my unit isn´t delivered by the Brightpoint corporation apparently. I´ve been in contact with Daangard as well who also wasn´t the deliverer. My only option then is to send it back to the original store where it was purchased and get it done thru warranty, but that will take around a month since the store is not in my town and due to service time etc. Obviously I don´t want to be without my phone for a month just to upgrade the ROM. I also don´t want to use any of the english versions since I want my regular swedish keyboard. So if anyone knows where I can download the latest swedish or scandinavian ROM (SVE) I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks!
Quite strange that neither Dangaard nor Brightpoint knows it if it's from Sweden.
Anyway; I will upload the latest Swedish one, 2.17.7SVE, to the upload section of the ftp site here and post a link here when done.
OK, here it is: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/188177-9100_upgrade_2[1].17.7.103sve_radio_2.07.10.zip
Yes, it´s very wierd. At Daangard they said that if you for instance buy your unit thru webshops that is regsitered in sweden but operate from a different country, this can happen, and he mentioned expansys as one of them that operate from england but have a base here in sweden as well. My phone is bought thru a store called My Telecom here in Växjö Sweden (I live very far from Växjö), and I apparently have to send my phone to them first, and then they will send it to their support place!! And they said it could take up to four weeks!! Four weeks for a simple ROM update!!
Anyway, I really appreciate if you can upload the latest SVE ROM update for me so I can see if my problems with the phone being VERY slow and that it hangs from time to time and re-starts by itself etc etc..
Thanks in advance!
Thanks a lot, I was typing this as you updated your post! Will download it now! Thanks!!

Installed this latest ROM file yesterday, and I can´t believe how much better my Qtek 9100 performs now! Totally outstanding! Only been using it yesterday evening and today, but still, no hang ups whatsoever (used to be 10 times per day), no slowness at all, all menus open fast and it feels like a faster processor in it bascially even thou it´s not.
So thanks a lot again! I´ve gone from pretty much disliking it and wanting to sell it, to wanting to keep it because it performs so well!
Thanks!!

Actually I don't think there is such a thing as a 'Danish' or 'Swedish' keyboard, but rather a 'Nordic' with both Danish/Norwegian and Swedish special characters, and the reason for this is that I have a Qtek 9100 where the keyboard in addition to the Danish æ, ø and å also has the Swedish ö and ä.
I have WM6 on this Qtek 9100 and have all the Danish and Swedish characters in their proper place on the keyboard, so if your keyboard is the same as mine, i.e. it has öä + æøå, then all you have to do after installing WM6 is to make a simple registry modification to have these characters in their right place.
The registry modification is to add a String value Locale="0414" under the key HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
This is also what you would have to do if you intall e.g. a WM5 WWE rom.
I also have a 2.17.7 WM5 SVE rom with a 2.61.11 radio, and I can upload this one to Rapidshare, but I'm afraid that it won't be before sometime during the weekend. This rom is a G3, so if you want to install it but have a G4 device, then you should have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
Edit: Just saw a picture of a Qtek 9100 in the Swedish part of myqtek.com, and this one had a different keyboard than mine, i.e. it had ø, å, ö and ä but apparently no æ, so it seems there are different version of keyboards with the Scandinavian special characters after all, and I'm not sure that setting the Locale to 0414 will work with all of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258301
Finaly I got found a working IMEI number, so I registered on myqtek and downloaded the latest ROM. So here it is: http://shadowcrew.se/keygenmusic/188177-9100_upgrade_2.17.7.103sve_radio_2.07.10.zip

If you want your hardware keyboard to act like a scandinavian one just follow this simple guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281441&page=2&highlight=swedish
The registry editor was a reaaaal pain in the ass to find so i'll just link it to you! http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_phorum&Itemid=125&phorum_query=read,27,15027,page=1
That's TaskMgr.. I find it very useful and it also has a built in regeditor! good luck (if i understood your problem correctly that is )
Thanks!
Great, thanks!
I installed the regeditor and found the right place to add the string, but i'm not that great in editing the register so what kind of value type should i choose? I got lots of different choices; REG_SZ, REG_DWORD, REGMULTI_SZ etc..
Would be greatful for a howto guide

Dumping standard shipped ROM

Is there anyone who has succesfully dumped the Official Shipped ROM that comes with the European models ?
I'm sure that apart from me, there are other members who would like to revert to the offical ROM just in case something happens with the device. (need to send it back for a reparation)
I'm going to flash just right now anyway, as I'm positive that there will be someone in the future dumping the offical ROM.
\cheers, now pressing start
EDIT : After flashing I keep the high pitched noise that almost everyone is Reporting. I can't get rid of it. Be aware with this ROM,. you might get stuck with a hissing device that won't stop I'll wait for some solution and then flash again, can't use Winmo anymore
me too...please help us - i cannot use my device due to constant noising...
up0grading the EC chip drivers
I saw some remarks about the EC Chip driver update from HTC - will try that now, see if it helps anything at all.. For now, the device always hisses like a snake when Vista is active.
Without Vista active, it's mostly quiet, but gives no sound in WinMo, however, if you try to make a sound in WinMo, sometimes, after a few seconds, it will hiss and pitch for the duration of the sample played...
This is really annoying
hi,
i did a backup pof's way, so i have now part00.raw - part04.raw and SPL.nbh.
Rebuild Part02.raw and uploaded again. Working like a charm. Problem is: my original ROM is in German. anyone interested?
german but quiet is much better than english with noise.
please provide links.
Thanks
GERMAN..?
That sounds wonderful: need the the german ROM very urgent, can`t work with my beloved shifty...
Please share the ROM, thanks so much!
Me too!
I installed the GPS Bios pack - Easy BUT:
The noise only appears while staring after reinstalling the battery - just restart SnapVue after Vista is up and the noise is gone.
Also gone is the German keyboard under SnapVue - Regional settings don't change that!
GPS work in SnapVue and Vista (using ActiveSync & GPSgate - after test period ~30€).
Overnight SnapVue need app. double the energy than before!!!
Using GPS in Vista means NO internet/mail!
Wrong keyboard layout and battery drain tempt me to reinstall an original German ROM and to continue using my dear old eTrex with USB together with my Vista progs.
So, how and where2 can I find the German ROM?
Thanks,
Axel
Send the Rom-Link to a victim already. Waiting for an OK before i publish.

great!!
i noticed that pocketie is already installed and that \Windows\StartUp\PKG.exe and BlockTitleBar.exe are already removed.(like i did as described in this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377441 thread before backing up the original ROM). Now I'm looking to get the registry preconfigured to not start Snapvue. Liberated German ROM will get released this weekend. If you can't stand waiting for that ROM send me or traumrakel a PM for the rapidshare link.
If you could include the liberation into the new ROM I would prise your name... ;-)

Do you have the reconstructed ROM of version (original UK Shift): 1.30.405.0 WWE ? Can u post it/send it? Then I don't have to rebuild it myself, because I'm not that experienced it rebuilding myself. Also in case my rebuilded rom fails to work.
Many thanks!
cmonex
Could you please share the 1.30WWE
Thanks
Ram
You have it, it's the one having gps and sound bugs with european radios.
I'm using 1.22 because it's a stable base. Later version doesn't give you much, as graphic drivers are disabled anyway.

Cool. I followed pof's suggested way of dumping the original rom. Now I got all the raw files with correct start addresses. I am wondering whether I did correctly or not for SPL.NB. because the file size is 256 KB since I passed the same length 262114 as read in pof's post. When I used KaiserKitchen to reconstruct, I don't have baseRom and if I ignore that, I am not gettting the NBF file. I want to backup my CHT ROM and install your's (1.22 with GPS and sound). Could you please shed some light?
Thanks

Changing keyboard language (and dictionary)

I have just installed a new rom for my S730 (from thread called NEW ROM FOR s730er(20279) )
Works pretty nifty (after changing language to english), but I got some other problems.
My old Æ, Ø, Å (danish letters) dosn't work anymore. Before they worked fine with the fn-key.. I guess it's some registry fix I have to make it work?
Also, is it possible to install some danish dictionary?
Thanks
My guess is that that ROM doesn not contain Danish xt9 ldb files (and probably it doesn't contain keymap as well). You'll need the 0406/1030 files. You can extract those from a WM6.1 rom that does, then copy the Danish files over to your English ROM, add registry entries and you're settled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360126 would be a good starting point, since the Vox (S710) and the Wings (S730) are more or less identical (for this matter, that is). Also read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319353.
I followed the instructions in the latter link above. The only thing to watch-out for is that in the registry you may get "Vox" instead of "Wings". Either rename the file or change the registry.
I've attached the keyboard data.

Need russian keyboard for S730. Any suggestions/files? Even without xT9...
I've managed to get Danish keyboard and dictionary just fine. One thing though. Before the 6.1 upgrade word-suggestion would suggest words with æøå even if I just wrote eoa. Example: If I wrote "star" it would suggest "står" too.
Any way to get that functionality back? Kinda of character alias function or similar.
Thanks for any input.
I would like to hear if it is possible to get original scandinavian "HTC WINGS S730" Keyboard settings - in a cab - ready to installation, so letters like æ ø å would be listed in their original places, on the HTC keyboard, like fn + arrow right = Å etc.
PS. I had before a working version of the WM6 on a S730 ..
Then i installed 6.1 US English(flashed version) and the danish keyboard layout suddenly disappeared.
Thanks in advance.
1plus1is2, I followed this to re-enable my keyboard.

Windows 6.5 Rom with Swedish?

Is anyone out there know if there´s a rom with swedish? WIndows 6.5 ,(Not only keyboard)
I don't know of any cooked ROM for the Blackstone. But, you can easily change the language of Sense on many WWE ROMS to Swedish by changing the registry value in \HKCU\MUI\CurLang to the numbers 1053. It's not perfect, but at least Sense is (mostly) in Swedish.

Thanks i try that..
there is this rom that is entirely swedish http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575883&highlight=swe , but its an "old" sys and may not be the best rom out there not had enough time as of late to update and keep the rom updated, but been thinking of joining forces with some others that know some stuff and maybe together cook something tasty for the swedish users.
I change to 1053 in regedit, but it didnt do the work in the menys. Only on keyboard (Long press on A for Å and so on..)
I know that i change it on Dutty XT rom , but i dont remember how..
