**klanse** · 03-23-2010, 07:45 PM

Just found some threads in chinese forums about flashing 920sh 923sh 930sh into the chinese version, with chinese language(both simplified and traditional ) and english support. They claimed they won't unscrew the phone and change the main board. Flashing for around 800rmb. and the flasher is the i-smartphone group. They just started a few days ago, so no one knows the truth
yet.

Still, I prefer the japanese interface though.

it was mentioned sorta briefly in the sh9020c thread, what i wonder is do the docks work

**klanse** · 03-23-2010, 08:07 PM

You mean the desktop charger or

this?

yeah the 920sh, 923sh have the dock contacts, but chinese versions do not,

Hmm... Id assume the contacts would no longer work. Whatt about the built in voicemail as well? Or do Chinese sharps have that also?

They should, because as far as I know they directly connect into the electrical system, I don't think they pass through any software checks so, it should work.

I'd be eager to see if it does.

Chinese Sharps also have the answerphone, but that should work fine, it doesn't rely on any particular hardware that might be different with the two phones (it's purely a software thing).

**klanse** · 03-23-2010, 09:02 PM

So, which version have both traditional and simplified chinese? Mainland china or taiwan?

**AL9999** · 03-23-2010, 09:04 PM

The Taiwan one. Mainland China one has only Simplified.

The problem is you need to use the Taiwan one because it's the only one with 3G support. If you use the mainland China one you restrict the phone to GSM permanently.

But, if you flash the Taiwan one onto a mainland China phone (why you'd do this I don't know), the phone is going to have a heart attack when it tries to connect to a 3G network as the antenna isn't installed in the phone...
