convert european Nokia 5530 to japanese

hi all

 

 

i own a 5530 that i'd like to give to my girlfriend (who is japanese)

unfortunatly this phone was bought in europe, and as such only offers to set european languages.

 

does annyone know of a way to set this to japanese???

 

(i'm not afraid to flash it with new firmware, if someone can point me in the dirrection of that right firmware-file)

Re: convert european Nokia 5530 to japanese

Hi, flashing is not allowed to discuss here as it is a warranty voiding operation. This is the official discussion sites of Nokia. So any talk about that will have to be done somewhere else.

I would also like to ad that it's very risky and are likely to brick your phone.


But, what I can suggest is that you contact a Nokia care point and ask if they can install japanesee as a language pack on to the device. If they choose to do it, it might be a small fee to it, but I have gotten installed language packs onto Nokias in Norway for free, so it depends on the care point and their rules/restrictions.

Doing it the official way would also keep your device within warranty.

Good luck!
