I have uploaded a greek rom file for the htc wizard.
This ROM has a second level of protection that can not be bypassed only by CIDunlocking a phone.
After installing the ROM, uppon second boot (first boot installs ext rom then restarts) it displays a message
"This rom is intended only for devices sold by ace hellas" and freezes.
I think it searches for a valid IMEI range but I am not sure.
I am trying to find the exe file responsible for locking up the phone (using WM5 editing tools my maimach) but I have no luck yet. If someone could lend a hand I would be gratefull. Even giving me a hint (like how to edit the registry from a dumped ROM etc.)
Anyway, the file is located here.

Thanks in advance
Below, you can find instructions to customize smartdialing for recognizing characters for any language
My best man has the EXACT same problem with his Universal.
We haven't uploaded the firmware yet but can easily be downloaded through qtek.gr.
Can someone help?
It's a pitty not to be able to use the device just because he bought it outside Greece.
It's an interesting challenge after all.
Andrew, maybe you can send me a PM with what you have tried yet.

Check your Extended_ROM files. They might be what you are looking for. Probable workaround might be soft-resetting your device before extended_rom files are being installed, i.e. hard-reset your device now and immediately soft-reset it when you will see message "Customizing will start in 3 sec..." or something like that...

The IMEI is stored in registry within "RIL" branch, but your IMEI is not touched within traditional flashing/reflashing
A Russian fellow had done this job last year, for the S100 Greek Rom (Anansky i think was his name). The lock is not on the extended rom, but on the main OS. And if i remember well, it has an IMEI checking ytility, and another one which checks Language settings for the Language selection utility to work, but this can be changed with registry hack. Well, we are all waiting...

no it's not in extended ROM at least for the Universal (and sorry for posting in Wizard forum) - we tried your method from the first moment
1. No, extended rom has nothing to do with it , for sure.
2. Yes, anansky has done it before for the htc magician (my previous phone) but never revealed a howto.
@NLS
I have found a suspicious file called langbootcheck.exe which I tried deleting (with WM5 edit tools) prior to flashing my device. But then the device won't boot at all. Maybe this file is needed, or maybe I did something wrong?
If someone could at least tell me, how to edit the registry hives with the wm5 editing tools. This way I could see wich applications are executed on startup.

Did you try to play with HKLM\Comm\BootCount value? To put it as 0 so it is always thinking of a just hard-resetted device?
no I didn't try that, nor the device is mine (to try)
andrew try having a 0 byte file in place of the exe - maybe it needs the file to be there but nothing to happen when it is called
maybe Ace (since I am 99.5% sure that they read xda-developers), could give us a hint on why they have done this (when nobody else did on the whole planet)...

No, but it sounds like a good idea. That would explain why it doesn't lock up during the first boot process. But then again there is no way to change it because the os automatically reboots itself. Unless it installs a cab file from ext rom that does the trick. Do you think this might work?

i realy doubt it! I mean giving us a hint
I will try to replace the file with a zero-sized one. But then again I'm not even sure if it is the file responsible. I mean, that I just guessed (because the name sounded suspicious). It could be any other file. The file name could be desguized. Thats why I need to know 2 things:
1) How to edit the registry with maimach's WM5 editing tools.
2) Where is the startup configuration located i the registry
I didn't say tell us "how", I said for the to tell us "why"...
anyway...
Yeah ACE sux, well it's been really disgusting to lock the roms so we anyone who want Greek language to buy only from em. ACE think theirselves smart enough and all the other like Russian, italian, norwegian, dutch and many more who have their Qtek rom unlocked are the "stupid"...
Anyway this is a different story..
I am available to help in any way but i'm not such an expert user as you to play with the editing tools.
P.S:I see the rom is uploaded on a TEI of Piraieus server, you have any connection with teipir? I'm in the Automation.

NOone? :!: Buzz? Come on, you will make many people happy!!!!
I don't want to sound nagging but it must be very easy for you!!
I found another approach to our problem.
Instead of trying to hack the rom, I extracted some dll files needed for the greek smartdialing.
I dumped the Greek rom and followed the instructions here.
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=10204&catid=45
but used the Greek smartdialing.dll instead of the one posted above.
It worked very well. I even edited the smartdialing cab found on the ext rom and included the dll. So each time I hard reset the device, the smartdialing feature works for greek characters. I think the smartdialing can be customized just as easily for any other language, just as long as you find the .dll in your language. (For this, download a rom containing the language, and user WM5 editing tools found on xda-devs).
If someone needs it, I can upload the greek smartdialing cab to overwrite the one in your ext rom (for wizard only).
I also use AEKMAP for the internal qwerty and I find it very stable, simple and small.
So I guess there is no much point in hacking the greek rom (unless someone wants the menus customized - I don't).
how did you dumped the greek rom ?

Awesome idea.... is there any way i can get my hands on that .cab file? And maybe on your .aek greek layout? because mine kinda sucks
Anywho, i see we are off to a good start here fellas, don't worry answers will come soon enough.

I installed the SPB shell 3on my Xperia and had lots of troubles with it, like no way to goes back to Today panel, no more X functions, and stall....but....I like it...
Now, I reinstalled the Xperia original software, and, if someone could tell me....Before installing the SPB shell 3, what exactly I need to do FIRST?
what Dll or else I MUST install first...
Thanks you
if U using stok ROM RAA1 maybe
try update ROM first
download spb 3.0 from the spb site. Then look up a serial somewhere. had no problems at all
It worked, for me without any modifications... I was on the R1 ROM at that point though.
hello
try to install with the exe file instead of the cab file
the cab file sometime block the x buttons

after install spb shell 3, clean ur star up at windows, delete all. use explorer.. n soft reset. now u can choose manuali 2 spb shell menu
All of you, many thanks for yours advises, and going to study first what is my Rom number and, if I update my Room from, say 1 to 3, do I still need the number 2? sorry my Rom, but, in Hungarian a Rom, is a gipsy, BTW....
I did not knew, a CAB file instead of an EXE file installer could make a difference.....then? a golden rule would be to use an .exe file instead of a cab file?
ok, going to try it and agin, thanks.....happy am I with the XPA forum....really

perhaps your english is not fluent like mine, but, also, you are able to communicate with another language and, THAT, is the best...What is your native tongue? mine is french, then after a small english and then a very little hungarian...

I will, but, after reading all the helpful post, I just found out my Xperia was still runing on Customization version R15A with the variant generik_uk,
Now after having made the update, I see that I have now the R2AA010, perhaps, this is also why I have or had, who knows trouble.... Do I also must update the generik UK ?
Now, if I like to try WM 6.5 do I must update thru the forum, tho the R3AA? or not? here, I am lost, and yes true cooking is ok with me but Rom and UI are not for me...better some Rhum and Coke...heahh
Now I do wonder if it would be also better to reformat my microcard? because I almost install all softwares into it.....
I flashed my X1 to nX1i ROM (found here) and it's working very well so far.
Hello,
I've looked everywhere but I can't find sollution for my problem.
I wanted to have a polish dictionary on my new HTC Topaz (Diamond2) and found this topic
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/index.php?topic=132098.0;prev_next=prev#new (sorry in polish) and I've installed te cab file from the link there
(this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58487&d=1195298846)
It have installed the launguage but there is a strange autofill option always turned on even if the keyboard is on ABC mode. The space doesent work propery. At the firs tap it doesn't do anything and on second it copy the underlined text. It works as it would suggests some strange words. It's almost impossible to write a correct sms or everything else by this keybord. New word which I'm writing is underlined.
All the option for autocorrection are off in settings menu.
InWriter keabord seems to work fine?
Maybe it just need to be reinstall but I don't have any oryginal files.
Please HELP!
edit: now I found out that I probably have EzInput 2.0 keyboard which does not support old language files. What should I do now? Install the new version od EzInput?
