How to change language of ipaq 2210

1) Download this Rom from here (if you want the english one, just
change for whatever model PDA and language you want!!!):
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&prodTypeId=0&prodSeriesId=322908&swItem=PSG_I20498-104313&mode=4&idx=1

2) Open the ROM with a hex editor and delete the first 32 bytes. The
save the file as nk.nb0

3) Hold button 2 and the power button simultaneously and press the
reset button. You should now see a screen with "Serial" at the top.
Cradle the device and the it should now display "USB"

4) On the host PC, kill activesync (win9x: ctrl+alt+del > select
wcescomm and click "End Task", winnt/2k/xp: right click the task bar
and select "Task Manager" > click the processes tab, find wcescomm,
right click it and select "end process tree")

5) Download this program http://www.pc-counselor.com/bin/romupdate.zip
(the romupdate program and the nk.nb0 should be in the same folder)

6) Run the romupdate program. Select "\\.\WCEUSBH001" from the
dropdown list (if you dont see this activesync is probably still
active). You should now see a white screen. press enter to display the
"USB>" prompt

7) Type this command lnb nk.nb0 and Hit Enter

8) Wait until the process has finised and take your PDA from the
cradle and press the reset button. It will then start in the new
language )
