Today I was messing with Advanced Config 3.3 and when messing with the pressure threshold I saw that there was a choice for default. Wrongly thinking I had messed with it as it was on custom I just soft reset without thinking. I know what I did was dumb but is there any way to edit my registry or do something without hard reseting my phone? I have tried installing mymobler and working with reg editers but I keep getting either a yes or no prompt (which I can not tap because the pressure thresshold is too low) or access denied when using Cereg Editor... anybody have a signed remote.exe from mymobler that would work?
Your best bet is to do a hard reset honestly. When I was using Windows Mobile, I would do at most 3-5 hard resets a day. It's usually the fix all problem.

I have WM6 running on a HTC Trinity (the Orange SPV M700 variant) has been wonderful for over a month now, last night I reset it cause I hadn't in ages and it was getting all bunged up and slow, when it came back everything just stopped working.
Touchflo, HTCHome, all the stuff i had running on startup instantly blasted errors at me, and all the applications i have installed wont run, including .cab installers..
The error is:
"The File [File name] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
I'm not one of these idiots who just panicks and complains about a problem, i've searched google a lot, found that its probably the 'security configuration' and found a program that should be able to change it, only, it can't connect to it properly through activesync, i assume because of the same thing. I would just wipe it clean, even re-flash the ROM if i had too, but I want to back everything up first with something like PPCPimBackup which has worked wonders in the past, only, I can't run the executable...
If it really comes down to it i will just manually backup my contacts list and suffer the other losses, but i'm sure there is some genious on these forums who has a magic sollution..
Always keep in mind, it's called a Pocket PC, because it's just like a PC. So from here on out, be sure to reset daily, it's quick and can help over a long run. As far as it not running now (don't know if you have fixed it yet) but try another reset, sometimes when there are too many startup apps, it can cause some chaos and certain apps won't run. Or try uninstalling the apps not working and reinstalling after a reset, after the uninstall.
Also, always a great idea to backup.
I would like to think i'm pretty good with computers, if this happened on my laptop or desktop I'd be able to find the registry values or find a program to change them for me to stop it blocking the apps from running.
Trouble is, I can't run the PPC version of RegEdit because it is blocking EVERY .exe, If it wasn't PPC i'd boot it up in safe mode, using all the default values, but there isn't on in WM6 by default (to my knowledge anyway)
I've reset many times and nothing changes, turned it off, even taken the battery out just in case it made a difference.
I think i'm going to have to do a hard reset and suffer the losses..
Sometimes a hard reset is the only solution.
Saw this in a signautre from NiteStalker, both hilarious and true, "If knowledge is counted in Hard Resets, I must be a genious!"
Hi guys,
recently I tried a CJK SIP called Ma Lan Hua by hansvision.
when it became problematic (basically stopped working) I uninstalled it.
Then my touchscreen became disabled.
Is there some REG entry to enable it again?
Thanks!
Hard Reset will probably fix it.
lol and it will "fix" everything else too. Is there anything non-destructive?
yes. ALWAYS keep a backup.
i can't mention this enough i guess.
maybe you can use MyMobiler to plug in to your device and search for registry keys revolving around that SIP... even tho i'm pretty sure you got something deleted over there.. and you'll eventually have to HR
it's not the data ;p it's all synchable..
it's the apps I've collected and installed..
yeah I'd HR already, can't winmo w/o a touchscreen LOL..
thanks
i must be missing something. you can't hard reset without a touch screen? hard reset is done by a combination of hardware keys.
I have the Verizon Touch Pro2 and it is freezing frequently. It seems like the freezes happen around text messaging (send/read a text, close the slider). The phone will redraw after rotate ONCE, then never again. Sometimes it recovers, sometimes I have to pull the battery. This happens very, very frequently. I was wondering if anyone out there knew about this problem.
ROM: WM 6.5 Verizon shipped rom
Installed stuff:
Microsoft MyPhone
Gougelet PE XnView Pocket
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5
no2chem 1-Percent Battery
soft4vn.net Chinese Keyboard Font
Microsoft Windows Marketplace
Chien Homescreen Customizer
Skyfire
ScanLife
Facebook
Google Maps
mobIT Message Sentinel
I am using the non-Sense homescreen because before my hard reset it was freezing all the time. Now after the hard reset, after a reinstallation, the problem persists even on the new Windows Default home screen! What gives?
Please let me know if you have ANY ideas as to the cause. I concede that I may have to go through and un-install everything and try again, but maybe someone's knowledge can point me to the cause or tell me what I can try?
Sometimes when you flash a new ROM you do not uninstall all the old files and registry settings. When you flash your phone perform the following steps:
1. Clear Storage
2. Flash to a Stock ROM
3. Clear Storage
4. Flash your radio (if applicable)
5. Clear Storage
6. Flash your ROM
7. Clear Storage
NOTE: Do not use the hard-reset key press. This actually cannot wipe the phone as thoroughly as the builtin WM Clear Storage setting.
Taken from here:

Before the final clear remove your battery for 30 seconds to fully cycle the phone. Does it freeze while using WM SMS interface as well as HTC SMS interface?
Ah, I see. This was a hard reset due to another problem where my company-mandated PIN entry bugged out and made my PIN stop working, which has the policy to wipe the phone after 10 unsuccessful attempts. Which type of hard reset would that use, you think?

It is hard to say, but if the phone is still on when the hard reset is performed then most likely it uses the one the WM Clear Storage. You should also perform a hard reset before re-configuring your phone, just to re-assure that all the files have been deleted. So once that program from your company finishes and the phone reboots, go to the phone settings and clear the storage again.
BTW, I noticed the same issue on my TP2 with the vzw stock rom. You might want to give this a try:

Download the correct version or your phone may stop liking you.
I have the same problem, showed it to a Verizon QA manager, a Windows Rep, and a HTC rep and all said they hadn't seen it. I'm trying the cab from ppcgeeks, hopefully it works. I have no other issues but the messaging
I even did:
Reset
S/w
Reset
but to no avail :/
I am trying to change the "Phone as modem" value to "Sprint" found in hklm-comm-internetsharing-settings
I tried phm regedit, and resco explorer registry editor on the phone, then I tried mobile registry editor 1.1 on the desktop pc that remotely edits the phones registry, I also tried CERegeditor that is on the Desktop to remotely edit, and another one that allows you to "unlock" the registry like CE before editing (But none of them work. I tried all of the below with every single editor). I am using soft reset 1.1 and or the soft reset button.
I read that you have to wait a minute with wm5 and wm6 for it to save properly then soft reset and it will save.
I have made the edit, exit the program and reset, reverts to old setting. I tried to make the change and stay in the program for several minutes, then reset, reverts to old setting.
I tried deleting the key, waiting each way resetting, bam the old key pops back up.
I have tried every combination for every length of time up to including waiting several hours before the reset with the program open and then with it closed, and still after the reset, bam the original is back.
I even tried hard resetting the phone thinking maybe something installed keeping me from editing the registry, but nope.
I also tired the cab tethering fix files I have found....nope, still shows "Phone as Modem" in the key value
I even just tried reloading the rom from HTC to see if thats why I could not edit, maybe my version was messed up some how.
Nope, still cannot get it to save the "Sprint" value.
Please help, any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or has this been the case for anyone else?
Hey all I have a problem dunno if this is the right place to post but could not really find anything closer.
First I have no access to a PC and I need a copy of the original registry for the t mobile wing. I've been playing aroud with the reg to get access to the Ext rom well I have deleted it and a reboot doesn't bring it back, don't want to try a hard reset because of that. also messed with the t mo data settings I deleted them actually I delete everything that has to do with t mo. and barely got the wifi working or I would'nt be here now!
hoping putting the settings back will return the ext romto normal or my regedits are done till I get a laptop. and dunno if i have to hard reset.
I will attach the reg settings and screenshots if anyone is interested I am able to load up to about 1meg on the ext rom then it gives either access denied or write protected. and it vanishes on reboot as far as i've read this is the closest to actually being able to alter the ext rom on a cid locked and original rom....without a pc, thanx in advance.
T Mobiile wing sim locked[ack] and cid locked.
"My dad always said, "Don't fix what ain't broke", So I broke it!
EDIT:
Ok after 3 hard resets (first 2 failed) it re-installed. Re-edited the reg with the autoload and profile to show the ext rom and it won't show it reg values are still what I changed them to. Any ideas, My phone is punishing me?
Ok did another hard reset and the ext rom is gone, didn't have to reset in first 3 secs to stop installs. can any1 explain to me how I erased a RAM Drive that isn't supposed to be changable without a PC and even better how to bring it back 4 my purposes I was close before I think it has to do with the virtual drive setup in the reg any1 can help with this?
