Salut Saadi,

Malheureusement mon français n'est pas suffisant pour expliquer ce processus, donc, voilà mon réponse en anglais :

In order to change the language of your SPV you'll need to change the entire operating system. This results in loosing some of the Orange-branded features. If that's no problem for you (it wasn't for me), you can try to do what I did. Please be warned, however, that this worked for my SPV M1000 (Orange France) and I can't guarantee if it'll work for you the same way. Here we go:

1

If you want to backup your Extended ROM (where your regional/Orange settings are defined), you'll need to download this file http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=40412#40412 in order to unlock the Extended ROM folder, which currently is invisible. Copy it to your M1000 and run it (click on it). Il will create 4 shortcuts in the Start Up menu. Run (click on) 'unhide' and 'unlock' and reset the M1000. You will now see a new folder in the root named \Extended_ROM. Copy the entire folder to your PC as a backup.

OK, so your Extended ROM is backed up, now let's proceed to changing the ROM of your M1000.

Download http://www.clubimate.com/Support/RUU172126WWE_imate.exe

This is the i-mate ROM version, You'd also find other ROM (operating software) versions in this forum but from what I know the one above is one of the latest upgrades and works fine with my SPV.

Normally, the ROM only installs if your device has the corresponding country code. I doubt that it'll work, but just give it a try: Make sure your PDA is in its cradle, connected and powered. Then double click the file and follow the steps. If the country code error shows up, you'll have to go to step 3.

Download

http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda2nbftool.exe

You need this tool to change the .NBF files as described in step 5.

4

Run the upgrade (RUU172126WWE_imate.exe) again, wait for it to unpack, but this time don't click on any other (i.e. 'next') buttons. Just leave the install window as is for now. The program unpacked some file to your PC. Find the directory where it is unpacked, probably in "\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp", and there should be a subdirectory, containing these files

HimaClearJumpCode.exe

HimaGetDeviceData.exe

HimaUpgradeUt.exe

ms_.nbf

NK.nbf

Radio_.nbf

To prepare the ROM, the xda2nbftool you downloaded in step 3 must be run via a DOS command prompt. Are you familiar with this? If no, let me know. If so, put the xda2nbftool file in the same folder where the unpacked files of step 4 are (the NBF files). Then run these DOS commands:

xda2nbftool -x NK.nbf nk.nba 0x20040304

xda2nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040305

xda2nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040306

xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so Orange -sl FRA -v ms_.nba

xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so Orange -sl FRA -v Radio_.nba

xda2nbftool -sd PH10 -so Orange -sl FRA -v nk.nba

xda2nbftool -x NK.nba nk.nbf 0x20040304

xda2nbftool -x ms_.nba ms_.nbf 0x20040305

xda2nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040306

Continue with the upgrade process your started and paused in step 4 and just follow the installer instructions. As described in my thread, the first time I ran the upgrade my M1000 froze in Bootloader mode. I then removed the battery for about 30 minutes (don't know though if that had anything to do with it) and went through the entire process again. The second time it worked flawlessly.
