*******O2 XDA IIi failed to update Chinese ROM*******

[Boldric]

Hi, pals! I have an XDA IIi-PH10C with the original ROM as followed:

ROM Version: 1.11.00WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.11.162WWE

Yesterday I downloaded the newest ROM from O2 website and updated to 1.11.171WWE successfully. Today I thought why not update a Chinese ROM, so I downloaded the CHT ROM from this link:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Alpine/Shipped_Complete_Updates/Dopod700_CHT_11106_110_10200_SHIP/AP_DOPOD_CHT_11106_110_10200_Ship.rar

I followed the instructions carefully but right after the program had checked the device information and I click 'Update' buttom, the program gave me this error message:
'ERROR 120:COUNTRYID ERROR'

The updated had been terminated.

Are there anything wrong with the ROM? I had been thinking maybe the ROM was not suitable with my XDA IIi. XDA IIi was also known as Dopod699, is this the problem? But I knew someone in this forum had updated Chinese ROM successfully. I am really confused now, I would be very grateful if somebody be so kind to share his experience. A million thanks!!!!!!

I had been trying servel times, it kept giving me the same error message. So I took a compromise: install a Chinese langage support patch(downloaded from http://www.hi-pda.com).

I think this patch works very well, my XDA IIi displays Chinese characters properly, I can even send a CHS message after I installed PlumSIP. Now I realy enjoy my XDA which has an English ROM and CHS support.
