Ok,i bought an asus P535 from eBay for a very good price BUT there is a problem.
The language of widows is French.
I can work my way through the menus and use the phone but it is getting frustrating.
Is there a way to change the language into English?



PS.Please respond only if you know a way to do this,i can speculate for myself.

Welcome

If Start-settings-system-regional settings does not work try to reflash to another ROM in WWE

Good luck,

Ok,this is to anyone facing a similar problem:

USE THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE WELL EXPERIENCED WITH BIOS/FIRMWARE FLASHING AND ALWAYS AT YOUR OWN RISK.IF YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG AT THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE YOU WILL MOST LIKELY RENDER YOUR PHONE USELESS.


Step 1:
go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295778&highlight=p535+language&page=3
and download the p535 ROM tools

Step 2:
go to www.asus.com -> downloads,select the device and select window mobile as OS.
Then select the ROM with the language you wont to install.(in my case the V4315_WWE_MS00.rar Malaysian-only version with English language)

Step 3:
Extract both the zip files from the ASUS official ROM and the P535 ROM tools.

Step 4:
In the folder of the ASUS ROM there is a folder named "2577".Inside there is the file Autorun.exe
Replace that file with the Autorun.exe from the P535 ROM tools,and also add the "ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe" from the P535 ROM tools into the 2577 folder.

Step 5:
In the folder of the ASUS ROM there is also a file named "GALAXY.cap"
Make a copy of that file in the same location but ame it "GalaxyII.cap"

PS.In my case i also had to add in here the file "AsusP535.cap",which i found it in the UK-only version of ROM available for download from asus.

Step 6:
Format a 2GB mini-SD card with FAT-32 system and copy into it ALL the stuff in the ASUS ROM folder(1-the folder named"2577" with the Autorun and ASUS.UnlockLangID in it and 2-the files "GALAXY.cap","GalaxyII.cap") (and "AsusP535.cap",in case the phone shows an error"AsusP535.cap missing" BEFORE it starts the ROM upgrade process)

Step 7:
Insert the mini-sd card into the top-slot of the P535 and when the phone displays a message about running Autorun.exe select >NO<

Step 8:
Using the phone's file explorer go in the mem.card and run FIRST "ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe" and THEN "Autorun.exe".
The phone will request you to connect it to a power source and after you do that it will ask you if you want to upgrade the ROM.
Select YES ad everything is done automatically.The Phone will download the new ROM from the mem.card and install it.


PS.
I have destroyed 2 mp3 players in failed firmware flashing attempts,so my lesson learned is this:
DON'T,NO MATTER WHAT disconnect,remove battery,reset,shut down
the phone during the upgrade process,or you will kill your phone.
