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.
http://dcom.teipir.gr/RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship_GR1.04.exe
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.
Hey All, can someone find and send these files to me? stsmtp.dll, pvbform2.dll, MSSLCore20.dll, MSSLQuery20.dll, msdaer.dll, adoceoledb30.dll, adoce30.dll, msmsgs.dll. Don't know how exactly, but the files are not on my MDA, and it's giving me problems. So far I have managed to identify 3 issues. 1 My contacts don't sync. 2 Only one of my calendar entries syncs. 3 Can't copy files from the MDA to the PC while the MDA is connected to the pc, be that by bluetooth or usb.
I figure the problem was when I tried to SIM unlock the device, I didn't know that AKU2 roms couldn't be unlocked, so the other option I was considering is if someone can give me a copy of their lock_backup.bin to see if this helps me.
P.S. Sorry for double posting about this to those that might have noticed.
Can someone search for these registry entries?
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D086D8A1-24CD-11d3-94A4-0000F87A4978}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1CB8526F-3436-4651-842F-87F2EFD60222}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{587CCDD3-F251-48fe-B762-4FAD6CCF6877}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{DF79ABFB-E51F-44e1-8C33-F19CC0A67A6B}
There are a few more, but I just want to know if everyone has these entries. After up/downgrading roms I still haven't been able to restore the files I'm missing, strange thing is I extracted the original US Tmo rom to my pc, and everything else is there except for the dll's I am missing, so at the moment I have no clue how to continue. If the files are not in the OS rom to begin with how can registry keys be created that point to them?
Me too...
Get the same missing files on an O2 Atom - WM5. To me it appears these refer to old legacy functionality from old PocketPC days, i.e. Microsoft Pocket Access (which was crap anyway and no great loss)

I click run and it just sits there doesn't seem like it does anything.
hi guhguh,
please to it like in the post.

only copy the files into the same folder, and run hard-0.5.1.exe an
click to run button
this is the substance in my folder:

android\android.zip
android\initrd-android.zip
android\haret-0.5.1.exe

I placed that file in the same directory as the other and when I click the exe the screen goes black with no option to click run. It displays "unable to open log tiny_console_int done. Cannot open script file \storage\program\files\haret\linux.ha"
Ok now I have the red dot going back and fourth. It seems to freeze after awhile. Looking over the default.txt you put up I noticed that you forgot a quotation mark and I added the word "boot" at the bottom since I see others have that in there default.txt file.
default.txt file looks like this below:
set MTYPE 1229
set KERNEL "android.zip"
set INITRD "initrd-android.zip"
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=20504 init=/linuxrc panic=30 bootlin"
boot
@guhguh
now i am happy that android start on your device.
but you have the same problem.

thanks for help
not working
red dot keeps on moving forever...
@ALL
anyone can help to rebuild the initrd-file ?

Hi, I'm newbie and did something stupid. I tried to install a new clock on my MDA compact V ( german T-Mobile version of TD2 ). Clock file was Analog clock - Maarij.cab. Unfortunately after soft reset I can see a partly destroyed home display, can use some of the functions, but can't get to settings to uninstall it. Starmenu doesn't work, etc. So I'm stuck and can't get back to original :-(. I tried to copy new manila files direct into the windows directory from my laptop but these files are write protect ( or in use ) so I can't overwrite the manila file.
I'm scared and need urgently help please
I'm not sure, but try a hard reset ?
Sorry for stupid question, but how to do a hard reset ?
ok, found how to do it, but had another idea. Installed the spb shell with an exe file from my laptop - yeah, got my baby back - puh. Seems to be solved for the moment.

TOUCHFLOW 3D Reply
I wasn't ever able to get the TF3D configurator to work right either in my old ROMs. I found it wasn't doing anything but taking up valuable space in my ROM, so it is not included anymore. I'd recommend "Advanced Config" or "DiamonTweak" instead.
Good Luck.

Bud i have advance tool, and it don't change the touch flo themse, as it does TF3D config.
Suggestions?
P.S. Tryin DiamondTweak now, will report later.
Edit: Ahh you can't change teams with it
I need program that changes those .theme files, and as far as i know, tf3d is the only one, and it won't work on mine diamond.
Anyone?
