- A Windows XP Machine (I tried it on Windows 7 but it didn't worked for me)

Installation:

- Extract the downloaded RAR file (there will be 3 maps)

- Go the the BIN Files map and choose one of the maps containing .bin files

(I think 28004 is the latest).

- Grap the .bin file you want and copy it into the ROM folder.

- Copy or Cut the ROM folder to the root of your HardDisk (C:/ROM)

- Copy the Home Patch.cab (English Patch.cab to your SD Card (on the root (SDCARD:/Home Patch.cab)

(there is a change that you get a warning for installing the drivers, just continue)

- Turn of your phone and plug-in the USB cable

- Now turn on your phone while pressing also the green call button

(Power + Call)

- Now you're in the Bootloader Mode (when you get a message on your pc

for installing the drivers click on NO (so don't use Windows update) and let

it search for the drivers. It will find one of the drivers in the DRIVER folder

you just downloaded and install it again.

- Then go to the ROM map (C:/ROM) and run the PDAFLASH_ActiveSyncTotal(1016).exe

- Then it will automatically download the new WM 6.5 ROM to your C6625

- When it's finished it automatically reboots

- When the startup progress is ready you will see the TouchWiz interface and it's all Chinese

- Just don't click on anything and wait for 2-3 minutes (when it doesn't restart automatically

and you noticed that the D-Pad buttons aren't working just hold on the Power button

and it will automatically restart

- When starting up you see a Vodafone logo (this doesn't mean there's a

simlock, maybe we can change it later)

- When the startup progress is ready: press the left softkey 2 times (start)

- And then choose the File Explorer icon (you'll see after the startup its Resco Explorer 2007)

- Go to the Windows folder and press and hold the right D-Pad button to scroll faster

and search for fexplorer.exe and launch it

- Now hold the HOME button (the house button under the left softkey) so the

Task Manager opens and stop the Resco Explorer 2007

- Now in the Task Manager click on the normal File Explorer icon to open it

- Go to the SD Card and install the Home Patch.cab (English Patch.cab), when it's fully installed press the

left softkey to reboot

- After this you will notice everything is English! (You can change your location in:

Setting --> Regional Settings

- Register Resco Explorer 2007 yourself

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Keyboard Input

In the Text Field:

- Press the SYM button to change to ENG

- Press and hold the SPACE BAR to activate the symbols

- Press and hold S (*) for the T9 (it's menu number 4) or without

AutoText number 5)

- For Keyboard Symbols press and hold the letter

Known problems

- Some parts of the UI are still Chinese (Maybe you can edit the Register,

let us know)

- There may be some problem with the 3G Network but i think that's only in

China. I don't have any problems (I'm from the Netherlands, Provider:
