QTEK9090 French to English conversion

[gzl47d]

:?:

Hi,

I have ordered a new QTEK9090, which the provider here will only supply me in French. I see conversions on this forum for German to English. However, is there one for Frnech to English?

Thanks

Not that i'm aware of, but the process is similar. You will just have to do a few extra steps, like putting Devicedata.exe on your device and retrieving the devicedata.txt file so you know the operator and "country" ID to use with xda3nbftool.exe.

No reason why it shouldn't work.

It should be the same conversion process. You'll need to dump the french ROM from your phone unlock it using the exact same commands, use a hex editor to see what the french ROM has for a carrier code (T-Mobile) and the designation to say that it is in French (i.e. WWE for english).

You will then modify the .bat file in the other posts that were listed for the German update.

You'll want to modify the "T-MOB101" and "GER" settings to what you find in the first 128 bytes of the French ROM that you pull off the device to your SD card or PC. I have never dumped a ROM off of a device so you have to search this site for instructions, I know they have been posted multiple times. So to sum it up:

1. Dump the ROM from your French phone to your desktop
2. Use the command xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521 to unlock the nk ROM
3. Use a hex editor to read the nk.nba file (XVI32.exe, search web)
4. Once you see what they have for the operator code and how they specify French (FRE???) you will then modify the above commands and save in a .bat
5. Run the .bat file you just saved
6. Run BaUpgradeUt.exe in you unzipped ROM directory.

Hope this helps.

I Just noticed that you’re a newbie. If you search the forum for "dumping ROMs to the SD card", "How do I get the ROM off my XDA/XDAII/MDAIII" , etc and forward me the links, I'll then do the processes on my end first so I know what I'm doing before I hold your hand. I can then walk you through the process to get the two unknown pieces of data, provider and the French 3 letter abbreviation. I'll do all the changes and upload a completed set of files for you to use to make it easy.

Deal? If so, start searching and PM with your results.

later,

Wnpublic,

Do you know how to dump from the device to the SD or desktop machine?

I don't know how to dump the "original" ROM. It appears to be possible, I just haven't explored.

BUT
dumping that rom to get country code and operator ID is unnecessary. All you need to do is put Devicedata.exe on your device and run it. That will create a small text file called Devicedata.txt. Open it and it shows the whole header - or at least enough of it to do the upgrade.

Devicedata.exe is part of the standard upgrade package. simply get the imate one, for instance, unzip it twice, and devicedata.exe will be there.

Thanks,

I had just realized this last night as I reading up on dumping the ROM. I had totally forgot about it, thanks for the reminder and making the complex simple!
