can you add a language to w800 without changing firmware

@hellose What is impossible??
adding language to your phone without changing firmware??

It is possible!! many people have done it and so did I using the way I posted above.

plz tell me ,after editing the customize .xml and saving it as customize_upgrade.xml do we have to keep both files in the mobile????

after you edited the customize.xml and saved it as customize_upgrade.xml and upload customize_upgrade.xml file to the phone. that's all you have to do. after you restart the phone it will automatically update customize.xml file and delete the customize_upgrade.xml file. so you don't have to worry about it.

where do you get language files from?

first is to find the language that you want to add to phone is in which FS file. for example if you want to add German to your phone then you need W800_R1NA005_FS_EUROPE_3_RED36 or which ever the FS that have your language in it to check that you can go HERE to find out.

Use the main2raw and SEFStool4 to extract the FS into folders
The files you want are under:
\TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\DE.LNG (DE is German. Language Acronyms also be found at the bottom of the Languages Description page)
Copy the DE.LNG into corresponding folder on the phone and delete LNG.dat and LNG.dst on your phone in the LANGUAGE folder under \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\

EDIT the Customize.xml file
\TPA\PRESET\CUSTOM\Customize.xml

<allowed-language>de</allowed-language>

in the correct section and save the file as customize_upgrade.xml this is a must, can't be another name.

and also edit the allowed_language.txt file
\TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\allowed_language.txt

de,

save it as allowed_language.txt the name stay the same.

and upload these files to your phone as well
restart you phone and you will see the language you just added.

for adding Chinese language to phone you do need to flash your phone with the MAIN HONG KONG, CHINA OR TAIWAN, if not then you only can read the Chinese on the phone but can't not write. other then that the steps is the same.

Hope this helps.

That is just great :cool:
But I had some silly problems like \

- the main2raw working great but SEFStool4 is giving me an error without extracting anything - any ideas?
- do I need a program that open my mobile system folders?

is it the same procedure on k810??? and would i still be able to update my phone using SEUS after adding some language

hi can any1 tell me if this method also works with the Z610i??
Thanks

The Sefstool4 says "Supported phones: z530, k610, k790/800, w550, w810, w850, w900"
I tried it with W800_R1BC002_FS_EU3.fbn and W800_R1BC002_FS_EMEA4.bin (after I use main2raw), but I get this message:

Loading W800_R1BC002_FS_EU3.raw header...OK!
Detected FS image version: 23
FATAL: This version is not supported. Check entry file!

How can I solve my problem?

about the above little tutorial...I was able to extract the FS file into folders. What I'm confused about is how to add the extra languages to the phone. It say above "Copy the DE.LNG into corresponding folder on the phone and delete LNG.dat and LNG.dst on your phone in the LANGUAGE folder under \TPA\PRESET\SYSTEM\LANGUAGE\" This is where I'm stuck. I'm new at this. I connected my phone and I don't see any language folder...I'm just not too clear on the steps following the extraction of FS file...HELP, Please?????
