Hello,
I have some trouble with my Windows Mobile 6.5 SEX1 device.
After installing HTC Rhodium Menu Enhancements and HTC Scroll the touch screen does not work. This alone is not a problem thanks to the keyboard, but, i accidentally clicked the wrong soft-key, so the slide-to-unlock screen is engaged.
The USB-to-PC mode is set to "disk mode" so I cannot unlock the phone via ActiveSync.
A hard-reset is not an option since I have data on the device which I would not like to loose. Do you guys have any ideas on how to rectify this issue?
EDIT1: I even made an attempt to salvage the important files by making an autorun.exe application which would copy the files to my SD-card without success.
Kind regards
Per
Your Slide to unlock screen is engaged, right? if its S2U2 you can just soft reset and keep pressing the up button on your device which should prevent it from locking. From there you should be alright navigating to settings to change your USB connection to Activesync. If its the default windows lock screen you should be able to use the same process.

Hello Everyone,
Last night I've activated the password function to my mobile phone but the strange thing is i couldn't open my phone with the same password on Windows Mobile.
I thought that it could be fixed by re-installing the ROM but couldn't suceed because of ActiveSync connection.
Can anyone help me about this issue please? How could I deactivate the password?
P.S: I'm using WM6 on my Dopod 838
could you be a little more specific about the problem? you dont have to use activesync to upgrade your rom. just put your phone into bl mode and go from there. that WILL clear the password as long as your updating the ce rom. or just do a hard reset
would formatting the storage/chipondisk not clear any password setting on the device ?
I think i have a quite silly situation, this is the normal Windows CE Password which we use usually and activates itself when we turn on the phone or some minutes later after we didn't use it.
I thought the same but i need to open my phone with password for cleaning storage. Actually i don't know how to hard reset this phone, i only was using "Storage Clear" application for erasing whole thing.
For installing new rom, I need to make CID unlock and the phone does not run the application without having the ActiveSync connection (guest connection) with phone.
Hard reset: Hold both software "---" keys on the keyboard and reset with stylus. Then hit "0" key to hard reset or "X" key to cancel.
Bootloader mode: Hold light and power buttons together and reset with stylus. (The light button is on the front edge of the phone, near the volume slider). In bootloader mode please keep in mind that the backlight is turned off, therefore the screen is hard to read in poor light.
Because i am using Direct Push to get my emails on our secure exchange server Windows forces me to enter a password when turning on my Orbit 2. Trouble is the brightness of the backlight is reduced almost immediately i turn my phone on and it makes it very difficult (in fact almost impossible) to see the screen to enter my password especially in daylight. Can anyone help?
Hi Bortis, I'm new to the forum so spent ages trying to find a solution to a similar problem.
I dont set the pasword lock all of the time but had the same problem with the keylock. i.e. when locked the backlight went off.
I needed to use a registry editor (PHM Regedit in my case)
I then edited registry keys as shown on the top of page 2 on

I know the usual answer is 'do a search' but having spent ~ 6 hours doing that I HTH.

I had the same problem with my Orbit II. I followed some simple advice from NoFatePPC and have had no problems since even after doing a reset
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
go here in your registry:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
you should see a bunch of keys and a folder called "LockLevel" - inside that folder is the LockLevel key with a value of 1 or 0 - you don't need to go inside that folder. just rename it from "LockLevel" to "LockLevelx" (add an x to the end of the folder's name)...
that's it.

Cannot unlock password on Orbit 2
Hello,
I have an HTC Orbit 2 (POLA 200). It's locked in O2, but that not the problem. The problem I'm having is that it suddenly started to show me the password unlock screen. I've tried to hard reset it and access the boot loader, but it is NOT working When I try to hard reset it (camera button + reset button, then release the reset button and keep the camera button pushed) it just restarts normally. It shows that "O2 Welcome" splash screen, then the screen with Windows Mobile 6.1 and then it gives the password screen. On the top, it appears that I have signal through HDSPA and the muted sound icon. Also, it says that I can make only emergency calls. I don't know what to do, because I haven't set any password. I've tried a few standard ones like: 1234, 0000 - but nothing. However, if I put in "999" without the quotes, the screen light gets stronger and it says that I must press DIAL to talk, but that's the emergency thing . I have to let you know that I cannot sync the phone through active sync or anything like that.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
My phone, HTC Vouge/Touch's touch screen no longer works. However the phone still does via the buttons. In a effort to find out what the problem was I reinstalled 6.1 on the phone. Now its stuck on the Align Screen part of the install. I have tried two programs, mDesktop & My Mobile, and they get me to the Align Screen part of the app where the cross hairs are in the middle of the screen. Then nothing works.
With mDesktop I can browse my files and pictures and with Mobile Registry Editor I can edit the registry.
To that end, what registry change(s) can I make so that when I power on my phone it will not run the align screen application and finish the installation process?
Once this is done I can at least use my phone via the buttons until I get a replacement phone.
All suggestions are welcome, Thank you in advance.

looks like you need to hard-reset your device.
Please let me know how to hard reset the device.

That's guessing you have an Elf HTC P3450 if not the WIKI will hold the info
Not Working.
Even after resetting it just shows the "Windows Mobile" on screen.
Is there any other way to edit the registry entry.
No way to change registry without being in operating system, my next advise is to go to the WIKI i linked and find your stock ROM and flash.
After a hard reset (soft reset won't solve your issue) it will sit at the Windows Mobile screen for a while as it initializes the system for the first time, so wait 15 or so minutes, and it should get around to setting up your stylus and such.
Hi, this happend to me once screwing around with sip, to get block recognizer back in wm6.5, and the all thing freezed just like you. So do operate hard reset and be patient it will end up telling you you really messed up but will start from scratch after a while.

After hard reset I have Kept the device on for whole night but still it shows the "Windows mobile" on screen.
stylez,
It is not possible to connect the phone to PC through active sync, so it is not possible to flush the ROM.
-Milind.
weird, I suppose you tried pulling out the battery and putting it back on? what keys do you press to hard reset? do you get a message saying you will loose all your data press action to continue?
Can you enter hardspl at all? if so you can flash your rom
To perform a hard reset
1.Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.2.Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Action to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
3.Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
good luck
hcall,
I have tried it in the same way which you have mentioned.
In the same way shown in video
But unfortunately it doesn't show any message (hard reset might work after booting OS completely & in my case it is not possible, it just shows "Windows Mobile").
can you boot on hard spl at all?
hcall,
no.
power off...
press power button while the volume key is pressed down... that way you'll enter the tri-color boot screen... connect it to your computer and flash a good rom.
TheRem,
Not working.
Is there another way to reinstall OS.
-Milind
It seems there is no solution for this problem.
-Milind
bring it to the nearest HTC service center in your country.
Fiquei com a mesma dúvida.

Hello to all,
I bought a new HTC model A6288 G3 + Hero and I pressed the button "Return to factory settings" with both SIM and microSD removed. Window opens to restart Windows, then the indication is "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Phone." I clicked and pops with "align screen" after I used the stylus to align. Hence no longer happen. I can't go to the next step, though I left the phone open longer. To turn off my Pocket PC I must remove the battery.
In the Add / Remove Programs I have left only three programs, but to Explore My Windows Mobile-Based Device, Windows folder is there.
Please help me to solve the problem.Thank you very much.
