Change Languages On A Toshiba Portege G900

The Toshiba Portégé G900, a Windows-based mobile phone, has Wi-Fi, 3G, a touch screen and QWERTY keyboard among its features. Its readouts are available in multiple languages, which you can change; however, to do so, first re-flash the ROM.


Instructions


1. Download the flashing software (see Resources for link). Choose to save the software when prompted to either run or save it.


2. Install the software by double-clicking the icon in the folder where you saved it. Follow the on-screen installation directions.


3. Launch the application by double-clicking the Icon from the desktop or by going to the "Start" menu and looking in the "Programs" folder.


4. Select the radial button next to "OS" on the top left side of the program and select the "Browse" button to find the latest ROM file for your model. Press "Update Target."


5. Turn off the cell phone and wait a minute. Press the power button until the cellular powers on, and continue pressing it until it goes to USB mode. The display reads, "Awaiting USB connection."


6. Connect the USB cable first to the computer and then to the cell phone. The ROM file starts uploading automatically; you can see the update progress on both your computer and phone screen.


7. Avoid disconnecting the phone during the update process, as it may harm the device. Wait for the task completion message, which may take up to three minutes to appear.
