Step-by-step guide for installing Windows 7

I already posted this guide in another thread, but to make sure others read it before asking questions that has been asked 10 times before I descided to repost it in a new thread. Enjoy!
As requested - here is a guide on how to install Windows 7 to the HTC Shift.
First of all you need an external DVD drive or a memory stick with 4GB minimum.
READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING WINDOWS 7.
The information contained in this guide was collected from posts in this thread and I cannot guarantee that everything will work perfect for you!
• Download the beta image
USB-install:
1 - Open Iso file with winrar, and extract all file into folder C:\WINDOWS7\
2 - Open command prompt in administrator mode (start - all programs - accessories - command prompt - right click - run as administrator)
3 - Then type this commands :
- type CD\
- type DISKPART
- type LIST DISK
- type SELECT DISK X (where X is the memory stick disk number you got from LIST DISK)
- type CLEAN (CAUTION; THIS WILL ERASE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE SELECTED DISK)
- type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
- type SELECT PARTITION 1
- type ACTIVE
- type FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
- type ASSIGN
- type EXIT
- type XCOPY C:\WINDOWS7\*.* /S /E /F E:\ (E: \ is the name of usb stick, if your key has an other letter, of course put your) (after *.* and after each letter preceded by / there's a space!)
Reboot, at startup push FN+F10, and choose your usb key.
This will not affect your HTC SHIFT Vista recovery partition.
Thanks killer_t
DVD-install
• Burn the image to a DVD
• If you want to dualboot Windows 7 and Vista you need to partition your harddrive before starting the installation. Use a suitable partition manager such as Paragon Partition Manager and shrink c:/ to approximately 15-17 GB. Create a new partition in the free space.
• Connect the USB DVD drive to your shift
• Press fn+0 (F10) after turning on your shift – select the DVD drive
• Follow the steps for installing Windows. Remember to select partition 2 as target partition if you want to dualboot with Vista. If not you can safely format the existing partition. This will not affect the recovery partition.
____________________________________________________________________________
• Download the shift drivers from HTC
• When you install the drivers – beware that you have to install them with Vista Compatibility mode enabled and run as Administrator. Right-click the driver setup file – click the Compatibility tab – select Windows Vista and mark “run this file as Administrator”

a. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10
b. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)
c. Realtek Audio Driver R197(6[1].0.1.5653)
d. Marvell WiFi driver(8[1].114.123.139)
e. Vitakey _AC5023_Fingerprint AP v5[1].0.2.0 and Driver v7.10.1.0 *
f. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7) (Note: you have to install this through driver update in device manager)
g. Shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center - Note that you have to disable aero to get the 1024x600 interpolated resolution working. Right click on dektop -> personalize -> and choose the first "easy of access" Theme.
h. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)
• - VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014 You can use Windows Update for this one.
• Now that control center is working in Win7 there is no need to liberate your snapvue (if you haven't already done it). 3G,WLAN and BT works out of the box.
Guide for removing the "Evaluation copy. Build 7057.winamin.090305-2000" watermark in Win7 build 7057:
1. Download this patch.
2. Run the patch, command window will open.
3. Y for yes. Press Enter, then Enter again to exit.
4. Reboot. Watermark is gone.
• Finally, if you encounter any problems – READ this thread before asking questions. Remember that “search” is your friend

Thanks for this nice manual!!
I received my Shift 3 days ago and I'm currently installing Windows 7.
I'll let you know if I managed to install it succesfully.

I feel like a bit of a noob now.
I really have no experience with my Shift yet, sorry for that.
Windows 7 runs great btw!

Everything works fine in Win7 except Control Center. However, 3G connection and enable/disable BT/WIFI can be done through HSECT2 and CYGWIN. Read my guide for details.

this one is not working for me... BSOD again and again... I think that it is better to keep the default one.
what do you think?

out of curiosity - does the recovery partition still boot after this by pressing Fn+F3?
Cause the last laptop (HP) that i installed windows 7 beta to could no longer boot from the recovery partition thereafter. - I suspect that with the HP's it has to have a specific boot sector of HDD for the F12 recovery to work; same as my acer?
Thanks

haven't tried but it should yes.. because it's not part of the partition of Vista... I guess that in vista you CAN'T remove the thing to restore partition.. but in your HP laptop you could and you may have removed it.

on my hp the recovery partition is defiantly still intact and I can still recover by marking the recovery partition active from vista but when it says press F12 to recover it now does nothing - so I think it must also need its "special" boot sector

yeah maybe... I think in the shift it is not part of the HDD (not sure about it).
I will try to restore vista soon, because I want to try things today (to have Win7 and WinVista on 2HDDs working on the shift.. Win7 on main HDD and Vista in external one).
edit1 : well ... recovery done no problem for recovery after installing windows 7 !! I save everything on vista side... activate bluetooth and wifi ... and then installing back Vista on another drive and then Windows 7 on main DD
edit2 : arf.. impossible to install windows on a usb drive ... sad ^^ .. well I will feedback Microsoft about it , it would be a GREAT addition to Win7. well.. reinstalling win 7 now !

you can disable them ... but I'm not sure if it is "totally" disabled.
for bluetooth .. I have disable in the "device manager".
for wifi.. I have not disabled it again..but you can through "windows mobility center" (not windows mobile device center).
I'm working on Win7 to make everything usable.. if you need somedays... I think I will have some goods news ! the 2 buttons (shag control and resolution switcher) are responding... but I need to make them work

When windows is booting, press F8, select low resolution mode. Then disable Aero in Win7. After that 1024x600 resolution should work

It should work, but I haven't tested it myself yet

[TUT] Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers

First of all you will need to download the drivers attached in this post and extract them. Remember where you extract them to!
The main reason for updating these drivers is so that you can use USPL or MTTY. USPL is an alternative to HSPL and is used for flashing roms. MTTY is used for retrieving information from the HTC bootloader as well as setting certain things. One of the more popular uses for MTTY is to clear the rom update error code in the bootloader after a failed flash.
The drivers that come with Windows for the HTC Bootloader are incompatible with USPL and MTTY. Once you update the driver with this guide you will be able to use USPL and MTTY.
Now that you have the drivers downloaded and extracted you need to know which version of Windows you have.
If you have Windows XP go to post 2
If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 go to post 3
MOD EDIT
If you have previously updated drivers and successfully flashed a rom before you do not need to update drivers again. If 'usb' is not displayed at bottom of bootloader when connected to pc, simply reboot, press F8-key & select option to ignore the signature. Phone should now state 'usb' in bootloader to enable you to flash rom

Windows XP
Use this method only if you have Windows XP!
Before you start this, put your phone into its bootloader and plug it into your computer via the USB cable. Your phone should show USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen. It is very important not to skip this!
If you have ActiveSync installed, start at step WXP1. Otherwise skip to step WXP4.
WXP1 - Downloads
(WXP1a) Drivers.zip
(WXP1b) Extract each item to its own folder
WXP2 - Open ActiveSync and click File, Connection Settings.

}
WXP3 - Uncheck Allow USB connections and click OK and then close ActiveSync.
WXP4 - Press Start menu, Run, type in devmgmt.msc, and press OK. Or you can press and hold the Windows and R keys. This also brings up the Run dialog.
WXP5 - In the Device Manager locate Windows CE USB Devices and expand it. Double-click on HTC USB Sync.

WXP9 - Continuing in the Hardware Update Wizard, click the Don't search. I will choose the driver to install radio button and then click Next.
WXP10 - Continuing in the Hardware Update Wizard, click the Have Disk button.
WXP11 - In the Install From Disk dialog, click the Browse button.
WXP12 - In the Locate File dialog, browse to where you downloaded the driver. Select the 32-bit folder if you use the 32-bit edition of Windows, or select the 64-bit folder if you use the 64-bit edition. Select wceusbsh.inf and click the Open button.
WXP13 - Back in the Hardware Update Wizard, select the HTC USB Sync and click Next.
WXP14 - Continuing in the Hardware Update Wizard, you will see an error: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
This is totally normal, do not worry. Click Finish.
WXP15 - The Device Manager will show an exclamation point next to the HTC USB Sync. Unplug the USB cable from your phone. You will notice the bootloader on your phone change from USB to Serial.
WXP16 - The Device Manager will no longer show the HTC USB Sync. Plug the USB cable back in to your phone. You will notice the bootloader on your phone change from Serial to USB. The Device Manager will now show the HTC USB Sync as fully functional. You are done!

Windows Vista / Windows 7
Use this method only if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7!
Before you start this, put your phone into its bootloader and plug it into your computer via the USB cable. Your phone should show USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen. It is very important not to skip this!
If you have the 64-bit edition of Windows you must disable digital driver signing before you continue on! To do this, restart your computer. After the initial BIOS screen but before the Windows bootup splash screen, spam press F8 until you see a Windows menu. If you do not get a menu and end up in Windows you pressed F8 at the wrong time. Try it again until you get the menu. In the menu select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement or Disable Digital Driver Signing (depending on your version of Windows). Windows will finish booting up and you can continue on.
If you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed, start at step WV1. Otherwise skip to step WV4.

WV11 - Continuing in the Update Driver Software Wizard, click the Have Disk button.
WV12 - In the Locate File dialog, browse to where you downloaded the driver. Select the 32-bit folder if you use the 32-bit edition of Windows, or select the 64-bit folder if you use the 64-bit edition. Select wceusbsh.inf and click the Open button.
WV12 - Back in the Update Driver Software Wizard, select the HTC USB Sync and click Next.
WV14 - Continuing in the Update Driver Software Wizard, you will see a message: The hardware you installed will not work until you restart your computer.
This is not true at all, do not restart. Click Finish.
WV15 - The Device Manager will show an exclamation point next to the HTC USB Sync. Unplug the USB cable from your phone. You will notice the bootloader on your phone change from USB to Serial.
WV16 - The Device Manager will no longer show the HTC USB Sync. Plug the USB cable back in to your phone. You will notice the bootloader on your phone change from Serial to USB. The Device Manager will now show the HTC USB Sync as fully functional. You are done!

I'm about to attempt this driver update, but I have a conflict with your instructions.
Your instructions hint that there should be a 32-bit folder and a 64-bit folder inside the drivers.zip file. I just see 6 individual files. Is it okay to proceed with extracting all six files to a single folder and updating the driver with the wceusbsh.inf file?

I've tried it on two PC's and got the same result: 7 files in one directory - the first five appear to be 32-bit and I extracted those five to a directory on my PC:
WceRndis.cat
WceRndis.inf
wceusbsh.cat
wceusbsh.inf
wceusbsh.sys
(64-bit files wceusbsh.sys and wceusbshx64.inf appear to be the only 64-bit files and I did not extract them)
I believe I updated the drivers successfully, but when using USPL to update the phone to 1.54 SPL (step USPL3), it gets stuck at 0% and then sends me into a Recovery sequence.
Anyone got any ideas? I need to get this done ASAP before I leave the country.

When you use USPL does it "reboot" your phone and show SPL 1.15.USPL?

Bootloader screen = Tri-colour screen
1. Turn off device
2. Hold down Volume down
3. Turn on device & continue to hold down volume down
You will enter a tri-colour screen. This is bootloader.
You need to be in bootloader before connecting your computer to phone.

[GUIDE] Install and use Ubuntu Touch 16.04 on Teclast tablets [ISO]

Our tablets are based on Intel SoC, so we are ablet to run Desktop Os, like Windows 10 but also like GNU/Linux Distros.
The main problem is UEFI on Baytrail tablets (Teclast x98 Air 3G, Air II, Air III), because they use a 32 Bit UEFI, that is really different from classic UEFI (64 Bit, like Teclast x98 PRO and other Teclast running Windows 10 x64).

Three images of my Teclast x98 Air 3G running Ubuntu 16.04 x64, Deepin 15.1 x64 and Xubuntu 16.04 running on eMMC.​
But, Linux users and Linux developers are really smart and they provide a compatibility patch to boot 64 bit operating system on a 32 Bit UEFI running on a x64 Tablets (yes, it is not a joke).
My dream is to have a fully working Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity 8 and MIR, in order to have an Ubuntu Touch experience...But, to start people learn how to install it, I made a customized ISO of Ubuntu 16.04 that you can see in the second post.
Remember, you can always turn back to original Teclast Dual OS configuration using my guide:
- [GUIDE] Teclast x98 Air 3G: fresh install Windows 10 and Android with repartitioning
Now, what you need:
- A compatible x64 GNU/Linux distro: please start with My Ubuntu 16.04 customized ISO or XJUbunTAB customized ISO;
- If you use any traditional ISO (and not My own or XJubuntu), remember that you need to download bootia32.efi and put it in Pendrive/EFI/Boot on any 32 Bit UEFI Tablets;
- Rufus to burn the Distro on a Pendrive;
- HUB USB with a Keyboard and Mouse.
Procedure:
1) Burn your ISO on a Pendrive and check if "bootia32.efi" is placed in efi/boot;
2) Plug your HUB with pendrive, keyboard and mouse;
3) Turn on your Teclast by pressing 2-3 seconds power button and start pressing ESC on Keyboard;
4) Go to the last tab of your Bios, find Boot Override option and select your bootable pendrive;
5) In the Grub, select "Try Ubuntu for Teclast" (do not use Install Ubuntu for Teclast), the first time is better to erase all partitions anc create an EFI partition (at least 201 Megabyte), a root partition "/" in the rest of free space, set bootloader on root of hard drive (eMMC) and do not create any other partitions (like SWAP)..See the following image, I've partitioned my Teclast x98 Air 3G using gParted Live:
6) Finish installation and power off the tablet;
7)Restart your Teclast tablet with the same config (HUB with Ubuntu pendrive..), you will probably cannot boot into Ubuntu, just because you need to do an "upgrade Grub"..So, enter in Bios and select Boot override..In the Grub option, press "C"
8) Now you have to find the name of disk and partition where is installed Xubuntu (in my case it was "hd1,gpt2")..So write:
Code:
#ls
Now try to see folders in each partitions, so digit:
Code:
#ls (hd[B]x[/B],gpt[B]x[/B])/ <--- ([B]x[/B] means a number..)
If you see a file called autorun.inf or a folder called casper/ it would be the USB stick, so try another partition. If you see a file called vmlinuz and one called ignited.img you found the correct pairtion.
9) Now please digit:
Code:
#cat (hd[B]x[/B],gpt[B]x[/B])/etc/fstab
You will see the contents of the text file called fstab the interesting information is in a line that is commented out (starting with #) the line you want to look for says / was mounted on and then it says the device name of the partition that Linux would call this. For me that was /dev/mmcblk0p2 we need this information in the next command.
10) After you have checked the correct Ubuntu partition, write:
Code:
#linux (hd[B]x[/B],gpt[B]x[/B])/vmlinuz root=/dev/[B]mmcblk0p2[/B]
#initrd (hd[B]x[/B],gpt[B]x[/B])/initrd.img
#boot
11) Nice, you are now booted on your Ubuntu installed OS, now please remove the pendrive;
12)Now you need to write on terminal:
Code:
sudo update-grub
13) Restart tablet, now you are able to boot without point "7-8-9-10-11-12" of this guide!
What works out of the box:
- MicroSD
- Inverted touchscreen (Use uTouch to solve this issue)
What doesn't work:
- UMTS 3G
- Wireless WiFi Realtek RTL8723BS (Also using Ndisgtk and Windows OS drivers)
- Sound
- Power Management
- Volume buttons
I made some reports after installed Xubuntu on eMMC:
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_uname-a
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_Dmesg
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_aplay
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_xinput_list
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_lsusb
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_lspci
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_lsmod
- Teclast_x98_air_3g_lshw
Someone able to patch them using Android Kernel sources?

Ndisgtk (no more needed, probably there is a patched kernel, see post #29)
XScreenSaver (really nice!)
Xinput calibrator (to fix inverted touchscreen!!)
Pinta
Grub-customizer
Unetbootin
Gparted (use it in Live if you need!)

Feedback: If you have any suggestion, please tell me! :good:

This will be nice if ubuntu will work like android or windows on this tablet. Great job.
One question. Is there a way to boot and work only from usb stick ? Without install at tablet.

Hehe Man yes, there are other ways, such as install it on pendrive and use boot override from bios to boot in it..

So I think I will check it if I a can do this in this way first. Hope we become the driver for all other things too.
Do you think we can take ubuntu in new version 1604 ?

Man, this is Ubuntu 16.04 with added the Xubuntu Desktop Environment..You can logout and enter in Unity..
I've tested also Ubuntu 14.04 and the reports I've attached refers to that version..
See here:
- Sourceforge download link to XJubuntu 16.04 and 14.04
So, you are able to install it and then:

Thanks to you. At last one person like to have like me ubuntu at our tablet.
Mhhm. Do you think we can also have three OS on the tablet. android, windows 10 and ubuntu (maybe installed to sd card) ?
When I have some news I will send here.

I think we need to flash single boot bios, install Windows first, install RemixOS x86 and later install Ubuntu, so Grub will allow to boot one of three.
You will set RemixOS as primary, so if you are out of home the tablet will boot into Android, if you are at home or office you can use a Keyboard to change boot selection!
Have sense?

Mhhm. But maybe it will possible when you push the windows button by dual boot bios you become grub. Here you can choose windows or ubuntu.
The only thing is to install grub in boot partition of windows. This will be a nice way. Better like to have RemixOS.
One thing. I have Tablet air 3g C6J6 with only 32 GB. I installed right now Android and Win10 pro. The programs are at sd card with 65 GB.

You are able to use SD Card too..If you use Grub Bootloader you will be able to boot from:
- eMMC;
- SD Card;
- USB Pendrive;

Unity8 MIR
I have disabled auto-login to be able to select XFCE/Unity/MIR
Some cosmetic changes and internal changes. CHANGED MAIN PANEL TO HORIZONTAL AND DROPPED DOCKY
Added Quicksynergy

I've got a question: is this version a COMPLETE GNU/Linux system? I mean, can I install Ubuntu packages from their repo?

Question My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot even with drivers installed

Hi all,
I really need your help, my computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot, I've installed different drivers and none of them work, in device manager it appears as Android with the yellow exclamation mark. I've already enabled USB Debugging mode, not sure what am I missing, please help.

Check in another USB Port, use original xiaomi's wire...and install latest USB drivers

I have the same problem, i'm using the original xiaomi wire and already installed lastest usb drivers.. the fact is that when I plug in the cell phone in fastboot mode the computer keeps sounds as connecting and disconnecting the device (I used two wires and two different computers)

Yup exact same thing, I hope somebody knows how to fix it and help us out.

Try with mi flash tool software for the computar... And let the program install the original firmware again... I think you can get rid of the problem

Hi, where do I get the USB drivers? Even the official website says to make sure that "your PC has necessary drivers", but they don't provide any link where you can get them.
The Unlock Tool only has a "Check" button next to the version number, which says "5.5.224.24(Already latest)" and again, no drivers check. There are tons of fishy websites that claim to have the drivers and I have already tried several of them, but no success. Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi, after almost 2 days of constant researching and trying and failing and testing, I have finally figured it out! You need two things: MediaTek Driver and disabling Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10. It's because normally, the (64-bit) Windows 10 system won't allow you to install an unsigned driver and the Mediatek Driver is unsigned.
Here are the steps:
1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard, open PC settings
2. Go to Update & Security
3. Go to Recovery tab
4. Press & hold Shift key on your keyboard and click the Restart now button (in the Advanced startup section)
5. Select Troubleshoot ->Advanced setup -> Startup Settings and press Restart
6. Press 7 number key corresponding to "Disable driver signature enforcement" entry.
The system will now boot with the Driver Signature Enforcement disabled (it's going to be automatically enabled with the next restart). Download the Mediatek Driver (official source), unzip the file. Here's how I installed the driver:
1. Press the Windows key, type Device Manager and open the utility program
2. Click the top item in the list (your PC's name) and click Action in the menu and select Add Legacy Hardware.
3. Click Next in the Wizard, select Install hardware manually, and again Next and Next again.
4. Click Have Disk, Browse, navigate to the unzipped folder: SmartPhoneDriver > x64 > Unsigned infs and select the file android_winusb.inf. Click OK and select Media Tek Inc. in the left pane and then Next and Finish.
Your phone will now finally appear in the Unlock Tool.
This should work for all Note 10s users who also happen to have a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. Let me know how it went for you.

hey Guys, i´m new in the forum. But i had the same problem and i´m bringing the solution.
This error happens because Windows doesn´t recognize the bootloader, then you must install manually the bootloader´s driver and connect again your phone, so simple. I´m attaching the driver in this post.
Cheers.

download google usb driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
connect phone to pc in fastboot mode. then go to device manager and update related driver named: android.
choose have disk and select Android_USB.inf file. then highlight Android bootloader interface and install driver. in win 10 must disable driver signature verification

After searching for a long time, I found that this is the solution that works 100%. At last I was able to register the unlock of the bootloader today after a week of searching how to do it, since the driver did not work, thank you.

The driver is currently only basic
Such as wifi, GPU, battery, etc. are all unavailable
But this will gradually improve in the future!

Nice. Good work on that, I'm assuming this port will be easier when windows arm devices get more widespread and supported

Good work. This is really great.
Will try that out the next days.
One thing I am just wondering.
How is it handled to boot Windows and Android?
So when you boot up the phone will it boot to Windows or to Android?
Or will it boot to Android and to boot to Windows you will need to fastboot the boot-fajita.img again?
Thanks!

Given it a go, it's not going bad is it? Very nice.
It took a while to set up so I wrote some scripts to partition and boot to recovery, along with scripts within recovery to deal with bootloader config. The only thing that wasn't automatic at this point was running DISM++
Good work. This is really great.

By default it will boot Android, unless you flash the windows bootloader img to boot.
I cannot recommend flashing the windows bootloader img at the moment- it worked and windows boots by default but from this point on I was unable to start TWRP, even via fastboot boot, so I'll have to MSM tool it to restore, which *does* wipe windows.
Other thoughts: This is almost usable, however, battery drain is through the roof and the touch screen driver is misconfigured for the display, so touch events are in the wrong place.
Keep going guys!

Great. Thanks for the answers. I will try that out as well.
I saw in the Tools folder there is a file "TouchScreen.reg" . Does that not fix the touchscreen issues or what does that do?

Actually, the last time I did it I didn't have any touchscreen issues- I must have skipped the reg file!

I just bought a USB-c HUB to connect Mouse, keyboard, USB stick to my phone when setting this up.
So if I see this correct now and the boot file can only be booted via Fastboot and flashing it to boot is not recommended due to issues to boot TWRP afterwards there is no way now to boot that without having the phone connected to a Computer or?
OK I gave that a try now. I could boot to the EFI environment and tried to apply the Windows 11 arm64 image in Dism++.
After done the steps to select the ISO file and target C: it starts to copy files and after like 1 minute I get an error Message but all the text in the message is in Chinese letters so I dont know what the error means.
How can I set the language in Dism++ to english?
Thanks!

Wishmasterflo said:
我刚买了一个 Usb - c Hub 来连接鼠标， 键盘， Usb 粘在我的手机上， 当设置这个。
因此，如果我现在看到这个正确的启动文件，并且引导文件只能通过 Fastboot 启动，并且由于启动 TWRP 的问题而不建议将其闪烁到启动，那么现在没有办法启动该启动，而没有将手机连接到计算机或？
好吧， 我现在试了一下。我可以启动到 EFI 环境，并试图应用 Windows 11 手臂 64 图像在 Dism+.
完成选择 ISO 文件和目标 C 的步骤后：它开始复制文件，1 分钟后我收到一条错误消息，但邮件中的所有文本都以中文字母表示，因此我不知道错误是什么意思。
如何将 Dism+中的语言设置为英语？

I guess Dism++ is taking the language settings from the Windows PE or boot.img and therefor it is set to Chinese.
I see when booting up the img file that that is set to Chinese. So if that can be changed to English I guess the Dism tool will be english aa well.

I already did that but it is in Chinese as well after launching it when booted the boot.img file therefor I guess it it fetching the language setting from the booted IMG or WinPE already.

If you downloaded the windows that I uploaded, it is the Chinese version, you can go to uupdump to download the corresponding version of windows. Note that it is arm64

Yes that I already did. Its more the WinPE which is in Chinese causing that Dism++ is launching in Chinese as well.
So I assume when I push the English WinPE files/Version to my phone I will have everything in english then and Dism++ will launch in English as well.
Can you provide WinPE in english?
