Updating X500 to WM6 in any Language

E-ten X500 is a light-weight GPS-enabled Pocket PC that comes with Windows Mobile 5 installed. They provide updates to WM6 but the download page limits you to downloading the language version that comes with your device.

Here are the direct links to the World-wide English WM6 and Traditional Chinese WM6 ROMs. Or you can try these custom ROMs.

To cross-flash your device to another language, say English (WWE) to Chinese (CHT), you'll need to flash the ROM using the microSD card technique instead of using the PC-based USB approach. You'll also need to patch the ROM (temp.bin) file at offset 0x38 with the bytes: 0A 3D 72 F4 to disable the device check. You may be able to use the technique in this thread if you're not comfortable with patching the binary file.
