add Chinese (ZH+ZC) on TM506?

[atwong1]

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

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 suite
PC suite must not be running
I did it on a laptop, which only has SE flash driver installed

no.....
I tried every single method, I still can't change the supported language

finally
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

Since you already tried some other fw's, is there one you would like me to try? I want to help you to get something new to try getting the input portion to work.
