Hi Folks!
I'm surfing a lot on this forum, and what i need is some help by cooking a rom... based on another rom in another language..
for example.. we take the BLACKSTONE WM6.1 V09 (PV) - Build 20769.1.4.5 - pdaviet.net
You can find him at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478195
And then, we try to cook a dutch version of it. (or another language ofcourse)
My Questions are:
1: Is it possible at all?
2: Is there a tutorial for doing this?
3: if there's not. Who has some experience with rom cooking, and would like to help me?

It can be done by replacing all the language packs (_0409) and by editing or replacing config/provxml files. Best place to discuss this is the cooking class thread.

1. Yes, you can do that.
2. If you can extract the rom (don't know if the rom is secrued,). But if it's not, you open OEM & SYS and change the (_0409) packages to (_040x) German
I suggest you have downloaded the orginal German rom for this!
3. . . . .
But good luck, (you could also just ask the single cook, to make a german rom for you? )

Great! thanks for your information!
i will try this, and let know if it works for me! Is it important to have take the OEM en SYS from the same rom version as the cook? or doesnt that any effect.
just remember to use a initflashfile that is either translated to your language or use one from official rom with your language (last is always prefered)
cheers
Is it possible to da that but with different rom versions?
Like, I have a portuguese official rom version 1.14 and I want to change a wwe 1.19 official rom to portuguese. Is that possible?

Yeah, itje, i dont know realy what you mean.. but the question of jpmassena is also my question.... does it matter if i use different rom versions?
updates
Well, I managed to do *something*.
Here's what I did:
1- With the kitchen I extracted both WWE 1.19 and PTG 1.14 roms;
2- Then I replaced all the content of OEM/PACKAGE_BlackStone_YouTube_HKCSL_WWE_0409 with the content of OEM/PACKAGE_BlackStone_YouTube_0816.
3- I replaced 0816 with 0409 in the file's names.
4- Cooked the rom and flashed it to my HD.
When the process stoped I had everything in english except the Youtube App
Everything in the youtube App was portuguese (except the video categories, don't know why). Now I'm reverting to the portuguese rom to see how the videos categories shows up. Maybe They were in english because the system wqas recognized as english.
BTW, I did this that way just to see if it was possible.. I will read a bit more to do it the proper way, without trying to "fool" the os with filenames...

I bought a new HTC Touch Pro2 and made the wrong ROM choice. The NL version does not provide English as language. Smartphone can not be changed by the reseller
Is there a way to change NL ROM to EN ROM or add English as a language so I can use English Interface

Not possible ATM. You will have to wait for Hard-SPL to be available.
That will allow you to flash another ROM to your device.
NO problem:
-create a goldcard using QMAT, and put the OFFICIAL HTC ROM on the card in your preferred language; Call this nbh file: RHODIMG.NBH
Now boot into three colored screen (volume down & reset) and your device will be flashed to your desired language.

No problem with QMAT.
I have make an update from German to WWE today.
Does it only change the language or replace the complete ROM?
It is a complete ROM.
Sorry guys, bit of a novice at this what does the following mean.
"and put the OFFICIAL HTC ROM on the card in your preferred language"
I have downloaded QMAT and have found the Gold card bit but totally flummoxed as to what todo next.
I am english but living in NL and have the same prob with dutch ROM on it.
Thx

What is in the Europe ROM?
I dont have a TP2, and im not a cook either so I dont know anything about the ROMs. I have just put all the ROMs I could find in one place for others to use/play with
I've upgraded my device succesfully to the Europe ROM. Does anybody knows, if this ROM includes multiple languages?
If yes? Can I define the desired target language?
I really want to change my TP2 to WWE but first I wanted to download the PTG (portuguese) ROM that I have in my device!
How can I do it? Or should I find it somewhere in the internet?
Thanks
You can ask cmonex via PM.
Flashing the Rom
I've just found out also that once you have your gold card you can use ROMUpdateUtility with RUU_signed.nbh or whatever and it works entirely well!
even though T-Mobile US TP II has not yet released
do you think is it possible to flash TMO_US to CHT?
note: I need to keep band IV support (TMO hardware has band I/IV instead of I/VIII)
So would it be possible to put an english rom on a french pda ?
Cause i'd rather have the azerty keyboard, but that's only for sale with the french phones.
guys,,
I bought my TP2 from UK, and I tried to update my device by using the new ARABIC ROM....but it keeps giving me this message:
ERROR [294]: invalid vendor ID
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone
you have to unlock first
Ofcourse the arabic ROM will not install on your UK device. You will have to unlock it using the method mentioned in this forum.
The only thing is that you will need a registered version of QMAT which costs around 20 euros
Hello,
I live in Korea and have purchased Xperia X1 which is made for the local market (WCDMA, provider: SK Telecom). I know that smartphones' ROM consists of 2 parts: Radio ROM and PDA ROM. As I want to change the Korean version of WM to English or Russian, would it be possible to flash only the PDA part of the ROM (where WM is installed) without flashing the Radio part?
Thank you,
Alexey
Custom Roms don't touch the radio in any way...
Different story for stock roms, at least mine, also included the stock radio.
Just go on and start flashing your X1.
regards
You can use any English X1 custom ROM here.
However one thing. With the English ROM, you will have the problem for using SMS/MMS. SKTelecom use their own SMS/MMS system so you need to follow step:
1. replace rilphone.dll and HTC_SMS_Providers.dll from Korean ROM.
2. Using SKTelecom MMSC(SMS/MMS client program) or
install custom sms_provider.dll which is developed by Korean user to use MS-SMS function(it did not support MMS function, if you want MMS you still need to install SKT-MMSC)
Thanks,
I guess, the easiest way for you to find an answer and tutorial of how to get an English rom working in Korea, is to check out the "BJCAFE" on Naver. It's identical to XDA, but it only consists Korean people. However, those guys are doing a great job!
Dunno if it's allowed but here you go with the link:

You need to register on Naver, else you won't be reg for the forum.

I have 2 cab files and 1 provxml file to set SKT service on English ROM. If someone provide the space, I will upload those file set and write instruction.
File size are... 34MB for several files.
------------------
1.Korean Locale Support.cab (12MB) : Korean NLS, Fonts, KeyPad... etc.
I am not sure you may don't need this file if you won't use Korean.
2.Xperia OEM(R2BA) Addins.cab (1.2MB): rilphone.dll, sms_providers.dll and SKT DRM files
2.Xperia OEM(R3BA) Addins.cab (1.2MB): Choose just one, one for R2BA, another one for R3BA
* Manila 2.1/2.5 is more compatible with R2BA but, R3BA SMS client can handle network SMS.
3.mxip_oemoperator_main.provxml : SKT operator setting provxml file.
4.Hanulis_MSSMS_B7.CAB (43KB) : Work with R2BA OEM
4.Hanulis_MSSMS_V1_RC1_Fix1.cab (41KB) : Work with R3BA OEM, Choose one.
SKT_MMS_Client(R2BA)_1_9_20090225_0.CAB (8MB)
SKT_MMS_Client(R3BA)_1_00_20090508_1140_Revise_0.CAB (8MB) : Choose one.

I used to htc diamond this error, I can use these 2 files to fix bugs, give me.thank you
I'm interested in starting to cook, but as far as I know I need to have a stock ROM. Is this true, and if it is, why cant I cook on already cooked ROMs?
Where do I find stock ROMs? I want a swedish one, any 6.5-version and an english one, 6.5.5.
I have downloaded a swedish stock ROM from htc.com but that one is a .exe and I assume I need .nbh. Can I convert it?

You don't have to have a stock ROM but in some cases, it does help make it easier if you have one for your device.
You can open the .exe file with winrar and extract the files. The .nbh file should be in there.
Also, one of the new Kitchens I think will open up the .exe file and extract what it needs. Look through this Kitchen thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948

I'm using that kitchen and when I try to open the few cooked ROMs I already have I get this message: "Can't extract files or build packages from IMGFS structure. Please make sure the ROM is not corrupted and that it's an original ROM update released by the manufacturer."
WinRAR worked. Thanks. Now I need to find an english 6.5.5 whick can be opened in osKitchen.
You will not be able to dump most cooked ROM because of the way that the Kitchen put them together originally.
You should be able to download a source from the first post of that thread, and they have some updated system packages as well like 23541. You can also find the EXT packages there as well.
Found it now, thanks
Ok, I dont know if this cooking stuff really is for me. I dont understand what I'm doing. I managed to strip all HTC stuff from the stock ROM (a bit too much, a few things doesnt work) but that's pretty much it.
Maybe I'm trying to do stuff that cant be done.
My main goal is to get a clean WM 6.5.3/6.5.5 swedish ROM.
Should I get an english 6.5.3/6.5.5 ROM and change the language to swedish or get a swedish 6.5 ROM and upgrade it to 6.5.3/6.5.5 or do I have to find a swedish ROM which already is 6.5.3/6.5.5?

After you have dumped the Stock, you have the drivers, then go to the link and download a build, copy this into the folder sources, so OEM into OEM, sys into sys ETC... then launch the kitchen, select build and language. DO NOT DISABLE ANYTHING IN OEM AND BE CAREFUL WITH SYS!!! disable everything in EXT and you have a clean ROM
It worked! Not a very good ROM yet, but it starts at least
I've tried to change the welcome screen in the tweak settings but I cant see any difference. Where is that supposed to show?

Hi, did you flashed this ROM (1.31...) ? If so what's the differences?
Im sorry but how do you flash this rom? *solved*
but the ROM doesnt seem to suit my Legend... failed to update
anyone has tried to upgrade with this ROM ? any changelog ?
no feedbacks ?
1.31.707.2_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L flashed
hi to all!
i bought 2 days ago a htc legend in vienna (austria) with a firmware
1.23.161.1 - it was a branded vodafone version - german!
SO after creating a GOLDCARD a flash this new 1.31.707.2 with SUCCESS
its not GERMAN, just english an some thai and some chinse language is possible to choose!
i restored all my progs with My Backup and its woking fine for ME!!!
whats new:
> its not branded -
the rest i will find out tomorrow
i have to sleep some hours before go to work!
what do you mean by : creating GOLDCARD ?
any french language inside ?
new rom is more stable, fast
hi to all!
i had to creat a GoldCard look modacos instruction:
http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/
BUT i had to change this LINE:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid
i had to change the number 1 with 0
@ ilos
a GoldCard is needed to remove the CID lock --> to debrand a phone
because i bought a legend with a vodafone software, i was not able to flash the new ROM untill i unlock the CID with the GOLDCARD
GoldCard: is a modded microSC - card, wich has to be put in the legend while flashing the htc generic rom in my case!
@ ilos
after using the new rom for some hours:
i downloaded morelocale2 from market and set German (austria) and it worked!
here you could also choose french - it should work for you also!
BUT you also will need an alternative keyboard because after flashing the 1.31 you can just between chinse and thai input!
so i needed better keyboard and the language pack! to get a german input!
Ps.: i just tried to flash an other htc legend (not branded) with a generic htc firmware 1.21.450.1 --> i also needed the GOLDCARD to flash the new ROM!
so i think you will have to creat a goldcard also!
but i have to say better keyboard is beautiful!

> battery life seems to be better for me in austria
> WLAN is more stable; in the 1.21. version i had a lot of interrups in the connection
to be hounest: the older firmware was also OK for me, just the small branding from vodafone annoying;
BUT how cares its newer - so it has to be better - ...
most of the user think like that, me too ...
many thanks for this usefull feedback

About the asian ROM:
Does MoreLocale2 change ALL of the texts in every menu? I tried it once, but didn't change the Sense's Settings menu, etc.
And do you have to download another keyboard, there is no english keyboard in default?
