I got my hands on the Greek firmware from qtek.gr with a friend's IMEI and installed as is desribed in the forum with the use of MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. (from French to Greek)
After the upgrade was finished and I resetted the qtek I got a message saying something about Illigal ROM and this the property of ACE HELLAS....
Now everytime I turn on my pocket pc it just resets after a while. I don't even get in the main interface. It resets after it shows the little red numbers on the right corner. (WWE etc)
I would really appreciate some help in this matter. I was given the s100 as a gift from a French friend and haven't been using it for a few months now because I was trying to translate it to Greek. (the greek company could not help either )
Basically you're scr*wed. The Greek firmware has some extra checks in it & that's what you're experiencing now. You need to revert to another firmware to get your device functioning again. To do this download a shipped-rom, put your device in bootloader & flash. See the wiki for more complete instructions.

Thank you very much for your answer!
This place is huge!! is there a chance you could provide a link to that?
Thanks again
Sure explore the magician part, especially the howto on rom upgrading via exe-file via this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician on that page are links to several shipped-roms (exe-files) too, just pick a current one. WWE mean World Wide English & 1.13 is the most recent one.
Good luck,
M
Thank you very much!
I am downloading a shipped rom as I write and got my qtek bootlock!
Let's hope this works!
Btw I couldn't find version 113 at the xda ftp.
This is a WWE 1.13 rom, only the ext-rom network settings are Netherlands T-Mobile: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe

Hi again.
I installed this: WWE_11200_152_11200.exe
And the whole menu has some strange pink and grey colours and stuff like that.
Can I revert it back to windows?
Thanks again
So it's alive again
Just change the today theme 'start -> settings -> today' to Windows default. You can delete the T-mobile theme *.tsk from \windows on your device to spare some RAM afterwards.
M
Yes!!! it's alive and all thanks to your help!
Many thanks again!
You wouldn't know how to get rid of all those T-Mobile logos from everywhere or bring the little icons (for contacts etc) that T-mobile put in my phone now would you...?
They came with the ext-rom. Did you notice the Customizing pop-up just after you finished the initialization? You can skip that part by soft-resetting your device just before the pop-up shows. So hard-reset again & after the message 'tap the screen to begin using your device' you soft-reset when the default blue Windows wallpaper shows.
Now you got a plain 2k3 device!
The T-Mobile today-plugin can be switched off via 'start -> settings -> today -> items' & uncheck what you don't like. Doesn't work for the intelli-dialer though.
So start resetting...
M
Thanks again.
Do you by any chance know how I can write Greek in SMS?
The keyboard gives me some wierd characters!
Sorry besides a vacation I haven't done anything in Greek for 20 years.
Can't help you with that. Is there a Greece t9?
M
:lol:
I have set up Greek in the localization option and the date appears in Greek.
This little button appears on the left side of the keyboard near Shift that looks like it should have Greek on it. When I press it all those wierd symbols appear.
And yes that is the Greek t9 I guess.
btw how do I soft-reset the phone? by just pressing the reset button underneath the phone?
And hard-reset by pressing the On/Off button and the reset button?
You're right about the way to soft-&hard-reset. The opt.symbol button is for special characters, not all necessarily Greek.
Probably the true Greek rom gives you proper Greek, but then we're back to the beginning :-(
Is it still good enough to use for you?
M
I can live with it
I will just have to SMS ppl in Enlgish.
I found a software from microsoft that translates and offers Greek keyboard. i might buy that.
Thanks again!
You're welcome
greek sms
try paragon's software (http://pocket-pc-software.penreader.com/index.html)
or the phoneplus application with the greek language file (http://www.mesoftware.biz/phoneplusmain.htm)
ore one of the attached files
Hope I helped, Cya javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

How do you install the two files you have attached to the thread?
Just copy them to your S100 and browse with the file explorer to the cab files and click them.

I'm having some troubles with my contacts, appointments etc. I have chosen to have an english PPC because most software etc. is in english anyway, but my OS and Outlook is in Danish so I get double appointments for birthdays etc. e.g. both one in danish and one in english. What can I do?
I'm thinking of switching to the english Outlook that came with my PPC but since it's only 2002 and I have 2007 now it's quite a step back
What do you mean by 'get double'?
Do you enter them twice - once in English on the PPC and once in Danish on the PC or do they somehow duplicate them selves?
In the first case, there is no reason to suffer. WWE (World Wide English) ROMs come with Danish locale in regional settings. Also I believe the fonts on the device should support any extra characters your language uses so all you need is a proper virtual keyboard.
Just google for a 'Danish keyboard for PPC'. You can install extra keyboards just like any other program.
If I am wrong and your language alphabet is not included in the fonts on the device (does Danish use Latin / Western European characters?) you can always copy the fonts from your PC.
This way while your PPC will be primarily in English it will still fully support reading and writing Danish.
If it is a second case - though I can't imagine how something would get automatically translated I am not sure what the solution is.
Well it is the second case, I guess it's because both the PPC and Outlook makes the appointments based on my contacts.
I have made the changes to regional settings and also use a danish keyboard plugin. Danish uses Latin /western.
Would it be a good idea to switch ROM maybe to danish version? Or maybe I should just bite the apple and get windows/office in english.
I take it now that you changed the region it still happens?
One last thing you could try before more desperate measures:
Backup your device (you can use SPB Backup trial if you do not already have a backup), then using the built in file explorer rename pim.vol (in root of your device) to something else and reset. This will delete all your contacts, appointments etc on the device. Now back your pst file on the PC just in case, and sync the device.
If nothing went horribly wrong all your info should be in Danish and the duplication should go away.
Hello,
I have an P526 with an english WM6.1 rom.
it works just fine!
The Problem ist, that the t9 input method is only possible in english.
i already tried to copy t9germanLdb.dll in windows by changing some of the registry files (but I really do not know, what I was doing).
There I was finally able to choose language by pressing "*" but it only works in english. In german not one letter was able to be typed :-(.
Later I tried to install some t9german.cab found by Mel_Place. But it does not work. Now the phone only writes numbers and "*" does not work.
Thanks, if anyone can help me.

Hello,
perhaps could anyone give me the important content of the registry of an Smartphone with numberpad (as P526, P527, HP C614,...).
Expecially under: HKEY\locale_machine\t9 input method.
Many thanks in advance.
xT9 for more language
Any small bugs (SIP bmp from VGA)
1. install Smartfone sertificate
2. Asus xT9.7z
THANKS
Thank you very much! The problem is solved!
You are great!
Hello all!
I have the Fuze from AT&T, and I can't seem to find how to display asian webpages / music titles.
I don't want my whole phone to be changed, just the ability to show asian fonts instead of symbols! I tried adding chinese/korean/japanese fonts to Windows/Fonts folder, but that didn't help...
Anyone have a tutorial? I also checked htcwiki, but no one has the answer
Thanks a lot!
You need to link your fonts to the base font (Tahoma) by adding some registry entries. Instructions here:
http://leeblood.com/2008/02/16/windows-mobile-6-changing-the-system-font-adding-korean-support/
Keep in mind for MP3 tags (and possibly also other formats), the TF3d player (which uses WMP) also requires the ID3 tags be encoded in unicode in order to be read and displayed properly.
there is a file somewhere on this forum that allows you to view chinese, korean and thai. search for KoreChiThai
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
Ok, I got my phone to display chinese/korean/japanese using korechithai.cab
but... now none of my keys are working!! Including the slideout keyboard, the home key, the back key, etc etc... It still lights up with i press the fn key or the shift/caps lock, but nothing shows up on the screen.
Also, the onscreen keyboard won't let me backspace, and letter recognizer is screwy too...
UGH... T.T HELP!!
Here is Chinese for you
Here I found something to display Chinese.
Works for sms and some system things (I currently got a Chinese Sim in my mobile). Didn't work for my Chinese e-mails though. Didn't test with websites... Found it as part of a Chinese translation program... But these are just the fonts not the program. You can find ChineseFont.cab on this page:
http://sites.google.com/site/wmdict/wm-dict-general/wm-dict-v20/wm-dict-v20-install-wm
Hope it works for you.
I didn't experience any problems. Again, this is not for input (I guess), just fonts to display.
Try CE-Star, it work, also you can write chinese too
CE-Star ... and what about Japanese, Chinese, Thai
Hi,
I tried CE-Star before and it wasn't really stable. Changed a lot of things on the phone such as fields and text sizes being incompatible. One being too large that is...
Yesterday I also installed the KorChiTha and the Japanese I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
However, I already had the cab I mentioned two posts ago and of course it froze my telephone needing a hard reset
Too eager and too impatient... anyway learned my lesson. Now I am looking for something like KorChiTha (which works fine for me by the way, I only use Chi and Tha) but with Chinese, Thai, and Japanese. This of course to run on my UK Raphael (well I bought it as HTC Touch Pro). These are the languages I need, I know a bit specific...
Does anyone know if there is this combination package somewhere? I don't want to crash everything again by combinging two different packages.
Thanks,
You can install fonts separately. Find three fonts that you like (Chinese traditional and/or simplified, Thai, and Japanese) and place them in your \Windows folder. Then add a reg key like so:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
Tahoma = (multi-line string value)
\Windows\msyh.ttf,MS Yahei
\Windows\cordiau.ttf,CordiaUPC
\Windows\msgothic.ttf,MS Gothic
Of course, substitute font filename and font name for whichever fonts you use. You may also need to create a similar key for "Courier New" if any of your apps use it as a base font and are also trying to display Chinese/Thai/Japanese.
CE Star problem and solution
Hey all,
I bought my TP in Hong Kong and it came with a version of CE-Start which I'm guessing was written for the Touch Pro. I say "written for" because:
1. I tried to install the version which came with my TP on my friends Diamond and it wouldn't install oh the Diamond.
2. Same friend that has a Diamond installed a version (not written for the Diamond)of CE Star and one day his Diamond's SMS messed up. From the TF3D screen, he could read the message but if he tried to open the SMS in Window's the page would just be white; no text no nothing and he couldn't write messages.
Googled the problem and found the answer:
Delete CE-Star and SMS can be read again in the Windows SMS app. He deleted CE-Star and what do you know, his SMS worked again.
Same thing happened to another friend that installed CE-Star on his older WM phone. I told him to delete CE-Star and his SMS worked again also.
Luckily so far, my phone has not experienced this problem; could be because of the version of CE-Star I have. Hopefully this won't happen to other CE-Star users but if you can't read SMS all of a sudden, CE-Star is probably why.
PS If you do get your TP in HK; the version of CE-Star on the Application CD doesn't work...I called HTC HK and the customer support lady said the wrong version was shipped with the TP. To get the correct version which will install on your TP, go to the HTC HK website and download it from the support section. I bought my TP and called HTC in October 2008, so maybe this version problem has been solved already.
?? Can't Read Chinese in the Calendar Notes Section
Hi everyone,
As posted above, I have CE-Star installed on my TP. I can read and write Chinese in everything so far except for the notes section in the calendar area.
The subject line in the calendar entry will display Chinese, but not if I write Chinese in the Notes area. If I write Chinese in the Notes area, Chinese is displayed but when I try to view the entry, the Chinese text is gone and replaced with "???????????"
Any ideas why?
Thanks

Is your TPro set to use Chinese regional settings? If not, you may give it a try. Without it, the Calendar app may not be reading the calendar database correctly.

Hey fhsieh,
Thanks for the advice; I didn't even think about that.
Tried changing the regional settings to Hong Kong but the calendar notes section still displayed "???" in place of the Chinese characters. Numbers and letters of the alphabet display properly though.
Any other changes you can think that might help?
It may be an issue with the default locale ID/codepage, and could be causing the SIP to not send the characters to the Calendar app properly. You may try adding/editing the following keys in order to force WM to use the specified codepages and locale IDs:
[HKLM\nls]
DefaultACP=dword:000003b6 (decimal=950)
DefaultOCP=dword:000003b6
DefaultLCID=dword:00000c04 (decimal=3076)
SystemLCID=dword:00000c04
Microsoft lists the Chinese (Hong Kong) codepage as 950 (for DefaultACP and DefaultOCP), and locale ID as 0c04/3076 (for DefaultLCID and SystemLCID). Please refer to the following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776446.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/lcid.mspx
Please note: Changing the NLS settings affects WM system-wide. You won't damage your phone, but you may have unwanted side effects. So please backup your data in case you need to hard-reset. Also, CE-Star has its own way of using NLS, so changing these settings may break CE-Star. Furthermore, I can't guarantee it'll fix the "???" character problem, because it may be an inherent problem with CE-Star that cannot be fixed with these NLS registry keys.
I do know those keys worked for me when I needed to fix Japanese input problems on my TouchPro, but I am using standard MS IME, not CE-Star. If you're unsure about the settings, you can also try searching elsewhere for those specific registry keys (DefaultACP, DefaultLCID, etc).
Awsome, thanks for the help again. I'm backing up my phone now and will try these regedits after work tonight. Hope things go well; I'll report later.

Made the registry edits but "???" still show up in the notes section when I open a calendar entry.
The good news is that I didn't have to hard reset my TP. Seems like the only changes which occured are a mixed bag of font changes related to Windows menus. The Programs, Settings, Start Menu, calendar and call history, and the soft keys are all different fonts now: the lettering is "thinner." Other Windows apps like email, SMS, and Contacts have no font changes. Also, it seems that all the lettering in TF3D is not affected as well
Thanks again for the help fhsieh.
One more question: how do you have Japanese (other language) input? Did you have to install a Japanese reading/writing program or by IME do you mean the same thing I use to type Chinese in Windows with my keyboard? If I can use IME (if WM6.1 comes with a language pack), can I just install it like I do on XP?
Japanese, Chinese, Thai combination wanted...
Just refering to my posts above... is it possible to have the combination:
Japanese
Chinese
Thai
Like in the solution for KorChiTha..???
Thanks
I use the standard Microsoft Japanese IME, which I installed through a CAB. I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to ask so forgive me for just trying to be clear:
IME is not a program but a collection of dll files (and other system files, which add language and keyboard support) and registry settings (which load those files). There are programs that can do input without any special IME, but the input only works inside the program itself and will not work anywhere else in the system. 3rd party IMEs like CE-Star are the same, only they use their own dll files/settings.
Adding IMEs to WM is similar to adding keyboards to XP, but it is not the exact same. With XP, you can simply install regional support and add keyboards by inserting your XP disc. Microsoft does not provide such a disc for WM. But the required dll files / reg settings are pre-installed in certain phones (regional ROMs), so some people have extracted them to be able to install them to other phones that don't have it pre-installed.
With Japanese it's easy, since there is only one charset, one regional setting, and one set of keyboards (unless you want to use 3rd party IMEs). But with Chinese it's hard because of traditional/simplified, numerous regions and settings, and all kinds of keyboards (pin-yin, jyutping, four-corner, etc). CE-Star is a good alternative because it's just one single "suite" that can be used on practically any WM phone. But for that reason there will be small problems like the "???" character issue.
The benefit of Microsoft's own IME is that it may be able to avoid those problems. The trick is to figure out exactly which combination of traditional/simplified, regional support, and keyboards you want and then finding a package that has it (or finding the files setting it up yourself). Moreover, you may still have the same problems because not all packages are set up for every kind of ROM -- so there may be all sorts of other settings you need to change in order to get it working.
Still, if you want to try Microsoft's Chinese IME, a good place to start is Asukal's e-China package. You can also search XDA for Chinese IME threads. I would also recommend talking to some of the cooks who have setup Chinese ROMs, they will know better than I exactly which files you need and what settings. One of the newer Chinese ROMs is Jack's Chinese/Japanese Xperia ROM.
