English ROM for German Orbit 2?

---

Hi all,

I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...

I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?

And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?

Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!

This is the info you need:

This is the file you need:

Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:

"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"

I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".

What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?

A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.

do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE

PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.

Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;)

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).

So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:

1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)

2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123

And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!

Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once

O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID

Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.

I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at yasirmcs@gmail.com so I could call you back for step by step guidance.

Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.

I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.3 0.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?

Thank you in advance for your help.

English ROM for German Orbit 2?

---

Thank you so much fktsndr:
I am successful in converting German O2 XDA Orbit 2 to English.
I used "Hard-SPL-V2.zip" from your given link and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25. 65.3 0.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe" as English rom.
Only TomTom was gone and is not working after new installation as advised in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=1929057
but now my GPS device is not giving any signals.
