currently TM506 only have T-Mobile US version, that I am unable to find Hong Kong version
here is a question:
which files and procedure I have to do to add Trad Chinese Hong Kong (ZH) on it?
I don't need Spanish, Portugese, French on it, just need EN and ZH
Connect it to xs++ and copy here your phones log without IMEI number and we will see, what we can do.
Have a nice day
If you want chinese traditional Hong Kong language, you must search for zh.lng and zh.T9, upload them with "A2Uploader" in : TPA/preset/system/language, delete lng.lst and lng.dat, then upload this edited "customize.xml" to TPA/preset/custom(delete "customize.xml"from your phone and replace it with the edited one) . Since TM506 is DB3150, it should work.
where can i download zh.lng and zh.T9?:confused:
Hi, I am a newbie here. Can someone show me a step-by-step how to do this?
I am about to grab C702 custom file
before shelling money, is the lang file in the custom file? or within the fw
if the language file is in the firmware (.mbn or .fbn), it may be more difficult as I have no clue how to extract A2 fw
do you have these zh.t9 and zh.lng (as well as zc) filesQuote:

finally
I successfully extract fonts (total 5 files) from K790a (with HK fw) using Customize_upgrade.xml with XS++
use your xml editor, and put in the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customization>
<file-operations>
<file-op parse-mask="fa" op="copy" source="TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/FONTS/Sans-Serif_Chinese_Bd.ttf" dest="usb/other/Sans-Serif_Chinese_Bd.ttf"/>
<file-op parse-mask="fa" op="copy" source="TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/FONTS/Sans-Serif_Chinese_Bi.ttf" dest="usb/other/Sans-Serif_Chinese_Bi.ttf"/>
<file-op parse-mask="fa" op="copy" source="TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/FONTS/Sans-Serif_Chinese_It.ttf" dest="usb/other/Sans-Serif_Chinese_It.ttf"/>
<file-op parse-mask="fa" op="copy" source="TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/FONTS/Sans-Serif_Chinese_Reg.ccc" dest="usb/other/Sans-Serif_Chinese_Reg.ccc"/>
<file-op parse-mask="fa" op="copy" source="TPA/PRESET/SYSTEM/FONTS/fonts.xml" dest="usb/other/fonts.xml"/>
</file-operations>
</customization>
and save as Customize_upgrade.xml
now, you need a phone (DB2020 or DB3150 models preferred, but use a2uploader instead of XS++ with DB3150 models) with Chinese fw (can be APAC, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan)
you should be able to get 5 files on "Others" folder if it's successful
now, use your a2uploader, and copy these 5 files (1 xml file, 1 ccc file, 3 ttf files) into
/tpa/preset/system/fonts
turn your phone back on, and you should be able to read Chinese and Japanese on browser, messaging, media player, contacts
it also works with other languages, but you must browse the files at /tpa/preset/system/fonts, and do corresponding change on the .xml file
the next project: add .lng and .t9, I am not sure will the files in K790a work with TM506 (or other DB3150 models), as well as change the Customize.xml
update:
used zh.lng and two t9 files from K790a, it doesn't work
and I can't see them in TM506...
Where do I find a good a2uploader? I found one but it's virus infected. BTW, I only need to be able to read chinese and Japanese in my phone book. What does lng and t9 give you in addition?
Try this one a2uploader - Top Sony Forums and that hasn't virus - just false alarm
yes, this one appears safe

thanks seamonkey
you also can use DB3150 read (see the link posted on the last post), pay a Euro, grab C702 FBN file and extract it
you can view Chinese on browser, contacts, message, but media player is hit or miss
Thanks, a2upload ran fine. I pushed the 2 and 5 keys and connect and see the phone. Now, where do I get the files from? And I know where to put them except the customize.xml file. Please help.
you MUST QUIT PC suiteQuote:

no.....Quote:

I can enable Chinese menu for TM506
the first thing is: you must update TM506 to R3DA030 (don't worry, just delete three lines on <techmode> on Customize.xml, and you still can tether)
you need
a2uploader (of course)
C902 R3DA .fbn
3150read
after dl'ed C902 .fbn file, locate it over 3150read, and get the following files
/tpa/preset/system/fonts
all 5 files
/tpa/preset/system/language
get zh.lng and zs.lng (must be in lower case, or change it), and copy them to TM506, you have to edit to add the language you want
Customize.xml
allowed_language.txt
after that, you can turn the phone back on, you should be able to choose Chinese menu, but:
MAKE SURE YOU UNCHECK ALL CHINESE INPUT METHOD, currently I am unable to find .t9 file for zh and zs, if you keep these Chinese input checked, you phone will crash
one more thing, you must transfer music through phone mode, or the Chinese track may display improperly
Please post link to buy fw.
just buy 5 days access to download areaQuote:

you may try C902 R3DA first, but you have to update TM506 to Cin Bell R3DA as well
however, I made some special Customize.xml for T-Mobile version and Cin Bell version (will work with T-Mobile without effort)
if you want to have flashlite themes, get the models below
C702, C902
W595, W760
T700
For both traditional and simplified chinese with stroke and pinyin inputs for both, and T9. Try debrand with a generic CDA from a "customized" custom file for Hong Kong, then update with SEUS. It worked very smoothly for W760a.
I read that sebbs it168 forum has a method, but I don't have enough point to readQuote:

The problem is Z780 did not release in Hong Kong and Taiwan, therefore, there's no traditional chinese version of Z780 firmware available. However, simplified Chinese is available for Z780. Some claimed they've seen traditional chinese on Z780, but I never seen them in person and I doubt there's a traditional chinese version for it unless it's customized with lng files from a particular model.Quote:

I extract the C902 rom with 3150Read, but there is not /tpa/preset/system/fonts or /tpa/preset/system/language directories. I found a /tpa/system/language directory, but it is empty. Do I need to read the files with a different programs?Quote:

After using 3150read, I got a directory named C902_R3CA033_FS_HUTCH-HK_RED52.fbn.raw.out. Inside this directory, I have the TPA folder. But, inside TPA, there is no preset folder.
Look, for chinese INPUT method, you have to flash the phone with china's firmware, and it will show up. I don't know "how" yet, but we you flash as i said, you will be able to write chinese, but in the FS folder it's not going to be the zc/zs/zh.t9. I saw that in a W580. I opened the FS and i didn't find any t9 of chinese, but it could write chinese :VVV
I'm getting crazy searching the "zs/zc/zh".t9
