add Chinese (ZH+ZC) on TM506?

[mingkee]

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.

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

if you use xs++ its like a god,,,you just need to have the corect firmware files, the main and the flash, and the custpack. tutorials can be foun d all over the palce :]

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...
