Hi All,
first of all , hope to put this issue in the correct forum path....
my friend has a problem with the Pro2, as you can see by the attach , concerning the keyboard password lock.
His password doesn't works and also performing all the reset type , after the reboot the mobile starts with the keyboard locked (only emergency number is possible call).
he has reported me that at the first time, the mobile has gave to him an alphanumeric code to try to unlock the code but it doesn't solved the issue.
probably re-installing the software (6.5) the problem is solved but he doesn't want loss the date / appointments due the fact he has a doctor.
please help us.
thanks
Hi again,
it's appreciated also if someone know if there's a way to perform the backup in this condition.
Thanks again

Did he ever use Activesync or Google Sync? If he did, most of his information sould be saved that way. Also, you may want to try doing a hard reset but only after exausting all attempts to back your data up. Send a couple of PM to Senior memebers or Moderators, you might get some help that way!!
Good luck!!
thanks for your post....
principal problem is that is not possible connect the mobile to pc in order to use activesync or other program due the fact the mobile is locked....and not save data has been performed before....
Double chack that his SIM card is in correctly.
Same exact thing happened to me. My phone battery was at about 10% and when I tried the password that I had set... it didn't work. This made me frantic and very ticked off. I had a ROM on my SD card so i just reflashed from there. Since then I always install a different locking app then the stock one. I just can't trust it. So I think youre only option is to hard reset and hopefully your contacts are saved to the SIM so they won't be deleted.

Hey guyzzz i have DOPOD 838 PRO and the sad news for me is that the phone KEYPAD has been locked and i cant remember the code now.... I am sure someone might have messed with it and changed it.... i desperately need to reset the KEYGAURD.... How can fix this problem plzzz heelp me as i am new to XDA WORLD....
Just inform what i need to do....
No t sure if there is a way to read the code from the phone.
Only thing I can think of is a hard reset. You will lose all information on the phone however it will be reset back to manufacturers defaults.

yeah i think hard reset is the only way... but guyzzz the keys are lock so will the soft keys and reset work? i really have no idea abt it and i feel like a total noob .... thnxx for the help and codes....
Should do, if not soft reset the device and then do hard reset sequence whilst the phone is booting up.

thnxxx alot guyzzzzz.... i have reseted my phone and now its back to its original state.... just one last question guyzzz.... what security do i have incase someone steals my cell i am just curious abt the security feature.... jus wonderin what if someone changes the sim..... wht security can i put in my celll
The only security you have pre-installed is a password lock that asks for a password when you power on your screen.
However there is software available (most of which you have to pay for) that can encrypt files on your phone and also some programs that are probably subscription based that can remotely wipe all data from your phone if it is stolen.
There is a thread on some programs that do this but for the life of me I cant find it. Try searching on Google but this software does exist.

that was really helpful guyz.... one last help i need ( i know its asking for alot ) but all i need to know is that i recently purchased a 1 gb memory card for my cell and i need to find a way to format it completely as its a second hand (used) memory card... i have NOKIA MEMORY CARD reader but this memory card is too small to fit in that device. Is there a way i can format my MEMORY CARD completely... does HARD RESET also resets i means formats MEMORY CARD. thnxx
A hard reset will not format your memory card
You can format the card in the phone. The in built in file exporer does not support this. However you can download Resco File Explorer from here: http://www.resco.net/downloads/byplatforms.asp
It is only a trial, you must buy a license key if you want to keep it. Just install it on your phone memory, format your card and then uninstall it after.
I've kept it on my device, much better than the built in explorer.

S.K.

I use Remote Tracker on my phone. There is a whole list of things you can do to your cell via a text message. I would need to look at the command list again but I think it will clear your memory card too. It also has gps tracking.

Be a good idea to use a backup program too. It will back up all contacts /messages, and depending what app, system and registry too.
I use SPB backup 2.0.1. Works pretty well for when things go bad...

Hi guys!
I cannot enter the menu Settings\Connections\USB to PC , it simple do nothing. (i think it stop working after trying a SD to DISKMODE soft)
Can someone tell me what registry keys it use and modify ?
The only way to make it working again is a HARDRESET but i got too much software already instaled and backups carry the error that dont let me enter the menu.

Give the following a try. Dunno if it will be sufficient or working at all. (Make a backup before doing so).
Hope others will also post their findings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\70]
"Key"="\\Drivers\\USB\\FunctionDrivers\\Serial_Class"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
"DefaultClientDriver"="Serial_Class"
remove the space from Serial_Cla ss

Mine stopped opening a couple of days back. I wonder if we both carried out some identical activity that can be pinned down (not the above you suggested - does not apply to me). I had to hard reset 3 days ago and over past two days I've been reinstalling apps along with SKtools new app for me. Also been having problems not experienced before with Active sync wanting to set up new relationship on virtually every connection.
Anyway you try Menneisyys suggestion and I'll await your results. If evrything goes kaput I'll know not to bother.
Mike
GREATTTTTTTTTTT Menneisyys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thankyou very much!
Changing to this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
make it work again! It was set to "`USB" only
it stop working again... this time I cannot make it work again and I cant pinpoint where is the trouble.
Hi all,
First post on this forum - wondering if you guys can help me out with one of the dumbest things anyone can do...
Yesterday I entered a PIN lock on my windows mobile 5 OS/ed phone and forgot it as soon as i'd confirmed it.
I really need the info saved in my phones memory - is there any way to retrieve that (with any tools that the community have made here) without doing a hard reset?
Basically if I cant dump the contents of the phone i'm screwed.
Any ideas??? Please
hard reset.
Hello,
My phone has 4 number security code you have to enter when the phone's being unlocked(did in settings, default winmo lock but HTC made an unlocking skin on it).
I've taken out a battery while the phone was on, then turned it back again in 3 hours. I move the unlock image, and as usual dialpad appears asking for security code. I enter as I usually do and it says INVALID CODE. I'm like - WTF? Tried again, nothing. Tried dozens of times, nothing. Reboot doesn't help. Now it even stopped saying INVALID CODE, when you press the unlock button it doesn't do anything.
I had the "lock" feature working fine for weeks.
QUESTION: What to do(without hardreset)? Phone is set to sync when USB connected, Windows Mobile Device Centre says unlock your phone first before sync. I can't do anything, can't make call(i can receive it), can't check messages or anything, i can't unlock it ffs! Help please, any ideas are welcome
you aren't alone,happened to quite a few.
did you recently install swype 3.9?(there are other reasons)
i've not seen anyone get out without hard resetting.
i have miri rom with swype pre installed
maybe there's a way to upload a file to storage card that will change some registry keys? problem will be how to run it

About the only thing I can think of is if you were able to find a way to put something in the \windows\startup folder that fixed it - but like someone here already said - odds are you're going to have to do a hard-reset.

It happened to me awhile back...i tried to find a way but didnt manage to find it, i had to hard reset..
Hi Folks,
My 7500 is running the AP Redux ROM.
I went to enter my pin to unlock the device and was greeted with the message that the device would be wiped if i got it wrong after the first attempt (weird!).
So i was putting in my pin when the car braked and, wrong pin, dev wiped. :-/
After restart, not only was all my stuff gone, but the MicroDrive now no longer exists. Tried re-flashing the (same) ROM, but still no joy.
It doesn't show up using the PC or using any device info or file explorers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Do you have a "Format Microdrive" icon in start>settings>system ? If so, did you try to reformat the drive yet? As you have probably already lost your stuff from the drive, it may restore it after the format. This is an old fix that I found with the "search" function.....
BTW, I had to do it a while back after a bad flash, and it did work for me.
Later...............

No, i don't have that. I looked through all the posts too but couldn't see anything relevant. I'm presuming it is just some security setting/glitch as it disappeared when the wrong PIN was entered. I'm hoping it might re-appear when i get back home and reconnect it to the server/domain.
Really annoying as i just got the GPS working properly.
Thanks anyway!
