There doesn't seem to be many experts that check on the shift anymore. With all the new and exciting Hardware out there I don't blame them, but the little mighty shift is still a nice device. I think, and I am really only regurgitating information I have read, Is that you need to:
On the Windows side, follow the Step-by-step guide to installing drivers, this way everything works accordingly.
On the Snapvue side, you may need to liberate it and flash to a new ROM.
DISCLAIMER!!!! Like I said, I have spent some time reading on this forum, so I may be wrong. It is like a second job weeding through all the information contained in the Shift section of XDA, so read, read, and read some more, and when you are done with that, continue reading!
That seems the only way to let you know what to do.
I have no specifics, so if there is an expert out there who would like to chime in go ahead and do so and help the guy or gal out.
Thanks!

QTEK 9100 in Russian - How to get it in English ?

Hi !
I recently bought a QTek 9100 "Deluxe" while passing by Moscow ! The version is in Russian and I was convinced I could manage to get it into English , but .........
When trying it, probably as it is a G4 device, I can not do anything !
Could anyone advice please ?
IPL 2.18.0001
SPL 2.18.0001
GSM 02.20.11
OS 2.18.7.1
If you can navigate a little in russian, try hitting start-->setting--> go to the second tab at the bottom (system) and then regional setting (looks like a globe) and in the first tab there is a drop down menu that will allow you to change the language. Then, do a reset and your language should change. I've never actually done this so I'm not gauranteeing it will but I remember running across a post once saying that it would. It's worth a try anyway.
Look through the options until you see (this is as close as I can do in roman rather than cyrillic)...
Ye3NK (only the N is backwards - this is "language" - the E may be curvy with two dots above it)
AH7nNCKN (with the 7 and Ns displayed backwards and "n" is very like the maths symbol for pi - is "English")
Alternately look up each of the letters in "yezik" and "angliski" here for the exact picture...

I dont have cyrillic on this server, but even if i did you would need it installed too or you will just see mainly vowels with phonetic symbols above.
And good luck!!!
Not functionning yet !
Hi guys !
Many thanks for your feed-back !
Unfortunately I tried before and the "international" language is already selected on "English", but all menus etc. remain in Russian.
I had a talk this morning with the national provider of QTek of my country stating that there were no way, but through the net with some 80 % risk that the mobile would simply crash and be of no use !
I would really appreciate if anyone would have a "positive" experience in this regard.
Many thanks in advance !
You have to use "" Shell Tool", can find it on this forum to reflush G4 Wizard.

Thanks Fresh,
but unfortunatelly I am not really a specialist in I.T. and do not really understand what I am supposed to do.
Especially the pages starting with "ftp://" remain unreable to me ! I guess I do something wrong, but do not know what !
Thanks for any help !
Nice day

"ftp://" if you have this, you have to copy this to the address bar of your browser, then you wil see something like list of folders and files.
Click on the files you want, then it will start to download.
Looks like you need to navigate here:
go ftp://[email protected] find ''Uploads'' folder, then ''WIZARD'', then "Unlocking''
and copy all staff to your computer
Hello Free breaze,
Sorry, but at my level it seems I am even not able to log in what you adviced : ftp://[email protected] !
Trying but still no any success with passwords !
Sorry !
Strange, password is xda, i logged in one second....
I am trying but with xda as log and xda as pass and do not get through !
I brought my mobile today to a specialist, but he said that the Russian version was more advanced than the English one he had, and could not downgrade in Russian !
It is looking such a headache !
Next time I will take a simple and very small Nokia I think !
Well, i am russian, i don't have G4 Wizard, but on russian forums
a lot of people had done upgrade and downgrade G4, so you need another spesialist
I will try to search for you and make english manual how to this week, but did you think to upgrade to the WM6?
Another chance, try this:
Wizard Service Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295038&highlight=Wizard+Service+Tool
Hi Fresh Breeze !
Many thanks for your permanent help (and there is much to do with such "specialist" as I !).
About WM6 I have read and understood that it is not yet stable, but if you have any advice would be much appreciated !
It seems the downgrade of the Russian version is a kind of must as no equivalent version in English could be found.
I had a look as well on Service Tool, clarifying now some aspects !
Many many thanks to you !

UpGrading Instructions

Hi,
I have been a member of this forum on and off for a good number of years now. Thank-you for all the hard work - I have wm6. I mess around with the PC etc all the time but have always been too scared to touch the PDA! I do not want a brick! I have searched this forum and found a number of instructions for upgrading or putting on another OS. I am unsure as to which one I should use - yes I am ready, I think to take the plunge. I really want just wm6.1 and no added programs, I will add all those as and when I need them. I am sick and tired of not using most of the programs on the PDA!
Has anyone any help for me please? I understand it is on my head, but someone told me that it really is not as difficult as I have made it out to be in my head!
Kind Regards,
Will

Need Help:(

Hi to everyone.
Sorry in advance for my bad English.
I need someones help. I do understand that all of u are having your own problems but there is no one else I can ask help from
I am a new WM user. And I would like to change Rom version on HD2. As u can understand for me it is a very hard thing, as my english is bad, and knowledge about WM is poor.
I have seen on a lot of screenshots showing that most of u are having the 'windows menu button', 'phone' button' and so on on the bottom of windows mobile bar. Which is amazing. And I would like to have a Rom that gives me that option. I have checked some information over here, but I cannot get the bes one? Can someone assist me with that?
I am having some different things on my HD2. like Brian's task bat, Cookie home tab, programm for icons changing. Are all of them running smoothly on a new ROM as well?
I do hope that there is someone who can assist me.
I will leave my skype adress here, just in case
Viktor44207 (coz I will need help with installing the new Rom)
I understand that I am asking a huge things....but...Please

Please HELP!

Im new to the whole Windows Mobile world and having serious issues with adding keyboards, fonts, etc... Ive always had Blackberry and im used to using and modding that, figured it was time to move on and got the HD2 and now im confused as hell! Can someone please post links, how to, to download the HTC IME keyboard? Also how to add fonts? this is really irritating.. Ive searched and searched and still cant figure out how to get the keyboards and fonts on my phone ... Any help is greatly appreciated!
Any1???????
Just curious, but where did you find the buttons and such? Posting link-backs will give us a chance to see what you are talking about instead of trying to guess.
Did they not have instructions on how to install them?
Did you perchance download the versions meant for chefs, that are designed to be cooked in the kitchens and not installed directly?
Also, for me, please refrain from big caps in your post title when asking about such matters. Let's leave that for the folks with bricked phones, k?
While we are on the subject of etiquette, posting a bump less than 24 hours after your original post is a wee bit pushy. Especially when that bump doesn't say "Bump"
So hit me back with those links and I'll see if I can help you a bit.

Adding fonts into WinMo is much the same like WinPC. Just put it into \Windows\Fonts directory.
But on further reading and 2nd guessing what you are trying to say above, it appears that you want to be able use that installed font when the keyboard is activated. Is that correct ?
Isn't HTC IME keyboard already available in the HD2 ? Or are you looking for different language input ?
FYI, I had a bad experience with trying to add Traditional Chinese input capability when installing an extracted HTC Ezinput IME from another stock ROM. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611894&page=2
State clearly what you are trying to achieve so that others can help.

Actually, this forum is for people to help people. Voluntarily. As in, for free. When you ask someone for help, it is generally considered a good idea to adhere to certain protocols, such as being polite and thankful for what help you do receive.
Now, since you obviously are not interested in my help, I leave you to the graces of others. I am also adding you to my ignore list, since you decided to call me a "smartass". Good luck to you.
Zen, Thanks for the reply! When i connect my HD2 to the PC (running on Vista) i cant access ny Windows folder on the phone for some reason, so i cant add a font .. No, the HD2 does not come with the IME keyboard. I am just looking for a English version to download for a Windows device.. If i google it, everything comes up for a Droid.

Was you phone connected via ActiveSync or "Disk drive mode" ?
I can't remember off my head but one of them - I take my bet on ActiveSync - will make Windows folder inaccessible. You could have copy into "My Document", remove phone from PC and then move it again via File Explorer.
I still don't get the part about HTC IME that you don't have . What it the ROM version you have ? Go to Start > Settings > About Phone > Software Information. Post the info.
There is Swype, Finger keyboard in the forum. Search for it.
Gotta go offline 24-hr in the next 15 mins or so.

IME stands for Input Method Editor i.e. on-screen software keyboard.
I am using QQ pinyin input which allows me to input Traditional Chinese. The option to select HTC's default IME, which is called Ezinput, is still there. I do not see the need to use HTC IME since QQ pinyin input has all the capabilities and more. Since HTC IME is in the ROM, I can't remove it either without flashing a cooked ROM.
So how do you type/input text into any apps ?

To make the windows available you need to have your PC set to show protected files. On a side not please watch the swearing in the forums.

You want something like in the screenshot.
That's the QQ input I talked about. No, I don't think it is suitable for you since you do not require chinese input.
Let me dig around. Just keep watching this post.

Yes sir, Exactly like that 1. How do i go out installing that?
Take a look and consider:
Fingerkeyboard2 v2.1 (freeware)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
Resco keyboard (commercial)
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/indepth.asp
One thing, I wish to point out is that the version date seems to pre-date WM6.5 actual release. I came across one software which allows for Chinese input, released in May 09 but had read forum complaints about paid users who was not able to get it to work on WM6.5 and that software company acknowledged it. I finally settled on QQ input although it is still in beta which I normally would not even consider installing.
Perhaps try out Fingerkeyboard2 first since it is free and also, you can post questions if the need arises.

[Q] to Wiki

I know I'm supposed to search the forum first and well, I did but I couldn't find anything which was near what I want to ask.
So, I got a HTC Touch HD from my father (he's old one) and because I don't like windows that much and because I'm using linux on my laptop anyway I wanted to put on Android and well... it worked without any problems (Android 2.2 (FroYo)). Now I wanted to look some stuff up... like how to connect my HTC to my Laptop or how to turn it off... very basic stuff and when I wanted to look it up in the wiki it was kinda strange because it was telling me about the camera and stuff and on the description of FroYo it already says that camera doesn't work and well... it doesn't but that's not the point here.
So my actual question is: Is the forum for FroYo or is it for Windows?
Sorry for making such a large question . Thanks in advance
P.S. forgot to post which link I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Blackstone.png
