oh..thanks .....and there is nothing free ?
EDITk i bought resco explorer...but i can't use the recycle bin: I deleted a file ...but the recycle bin it's empty...what's wrong ?
Using resco explorer go to menu-->options-->general. Go to the files tab and make sure all prompts are checked. Also go to menu-->options-->add-ins-->recycle bin and make sure 'Do not move files to recycle bin' is unchecked. When deleting files you should get a pop up that asks you if you'd like to send your deleted files to the recycle bin or just delete them entirely.

Thank you so much man
If you want to see deleted files in Resco Explorer then it should had been installed before deleting the files
Currently there is no way to recover those deleted files (unless if deleted from the system or ROM) which in case can be recovered simply by soft reset
Moving this thread to Q&A section where you will surely get better directions

I'm curious....I thought you couldn't delete anything off of the rom. Isn't it restricted in that domain? I know of a lotta things I'd like to be able to change, modify or delete from my windows directory. I already know of trying to access the files from activesync....doesn't work though. Is there another way?
Hi there.
is there a 'recycle bin' on the X1?
reason is I deleted a small video i was looking to upload.
so do we have a 'recycle bin' type thing, or has it gone forever?
thanks in advance
edit> if I do not have Resco Explorer installed, there is no way of recovering this video?
If you delete files from the device's storage you can't get them back unless they appear in the recycle bin.
if you delete them from the storage card, you can restore them/some of them using ActiveRecovery (for instance).
if you deleted something accidently, DO NOT copy ANYTHING else to your storage card.
take the card out, put it in your comp, and use ActiveRecovery to recover the sectors.
thanks very much mate
Hi
I made the silly mistake of not backing up my contacts before updating ROM ( i know... very stupid)
I copied the entire device to computer prior to updating but for some reason, it didnt copy the windows folder from the PDA.
I'm guessing the contacts would have been stored somewhere in the windows folder. I was running WM6.
Have i lost the contacts...? or are they stored in a different location which would have been backed up ?
Thanks
what exactly did you copy?
the following directories and files
Application data
ConnMgr (empty)
Documents and Settings (empty)
Music
My Documents
Program Files
Pim.vol
WMPinfo
Thanks
as far as i know, if i am not wrong, the pim.vol is the one that contain your pim data especially contacts,.
but, you cant just changed it, or replace it, if i am not wrong you need to use mortscript to do that with force deleting the original one and replacing with the new one,.
i will try to look into it, just keep all your data that you have backed up,.
Thank you !
I really appreciate it.
Not yet solved
Note to admin
this topic has not yet been resolved. I simply said thank you to -G- for saying he will look into it.
Thanks
tag removed
yup... pim.vol can't just be copied inside the root to be read.. it is somehow attached to your system.
BUT, if i'm not mistaken, you can use PIM Backup to load the info from the file.
try it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
btw.. i think SPB Backup can read pim.vol as well.
heyy
nope didnt work. i tried both PIM Backup and SPB Backup but neither of them accept the pim.vol as a valid file to restore from.
Actually, you should be able to just do a copy and paste of this file wherever you got it from. Try to use File Explorer (might not work). The option that works best for me with System locked files is via ActiveSync. If it doesn't work, try soft resetting and replace the file right away before the system gets a chance to access the file. Give it a shot, it might just solve your problem.
Alternatively, read this. It pretty much says the same thing that has been said so far...
http://frommypocket.pocketprimer.com/2007/09/29/backing-up-and-deleting-pim-data-wm50-only.aspx
Good luck to you
strange. i'll get back to you on this..
Im confused.
so will it work to just replace the pim file like egzthunder1 suggested ? Or is that going to mess up contacts completely ?
Go there.. use the emulator.. and get your contacts back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309351
also, please DO try to just put the pim.vol file in your root dir of your device to see if it's movable.. so other people could use that info.
i want to know if there is a good file explorer for a chevron/interop unlocked samsung focus?
WP7 Root Tools if your device is Developer unlocked and Interop unlocked. But what good is a file explorer for WP7?
WP7 Root Tools is what you want! The version 0.7 alpha is installed on My phone. You can find it in this forum.
thanks! That was what i was looking for
Could anyone please explain whats the use of a file explorer, except for creating provxml folder?
you are able to have a look in every folder. so you might be interested which files are stored within your apps, or you want to change some config files, or load dlls for further analysis on your pc ;-)
Is TouchExplorer a goos solutions ?

Does anybody know how to view/browse/export in readable format WP7 registry hives, user.hv & system.hv?
I'm trying to resolve issue with LiveID change; and I found (using hex viewer), the old LiveID still exists (two entries) in the system.hv, but I can't find the exact path to these values
This program doesn't works:

mRegEdit should work if I remember it's name correctly There are also guides on this section for changing the live id through registry without resetting the phone. That search on the top of this page works

Hmm... Seems like you should try that search first... I wrote that guide, first of all.
Second, mRegEdit (it's a link in my first post! you don't even tried to click!) is NOT working for WP7 hive files (and I don't have source code).
Before post useless "suggestions" and RTFM advises, next time try to understand and research issue first.
We do actually read Q&A, or at least I do, but yeah... I've never tried pulling apart the hive files directly. It would be nice if the Search feature in the TouchXperience registry editor would actually search the data like it claims to do... there's only one registry key, and no registry values, that have my live ID as their name.
There is a way to do a full registry dump of a mounted hive. It requires being able to read the output of provxml, though - not sure if that's possible on Samsung. I could try doing it on my (HTC) phone and then search it for my Live Id, however. Basically, do a characteristic-query on a root element, and enable recursion.
It's also worth noting that the Live ID may not be stored as an email address everywhere that matters. Some features might just store a GUID, for example. I don't know of anything that does, but if you manage to change all of the email strings but are still having problems, that might be why.
GoodDayToDie, I've copied hive files (system.hv and user.hv) using WP7 Root Tools (from the \Windows\Registry) to desktop (via ISF) I'm not sure, may be it's just a shadow copies but both files have my new LiveID inside. Also I found 2 entries of the old LiveId (and already found location of the first - it's \HCLM\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Usage\SignedInUser) but that value change to the new one, current LiveID + reboot don't help much.
Probably, previous LiveID's hash or token is stored somewhere in the registry I'm afraid, without tracing it will be very hard to find one...
Update: I found a way to decode (but partially, unfortunately) these registry hives
Unpack attached archive, copy system.hv and user.hv to that directory and run 1.bat.

if you want to use that program, you must first use in conjunction with WMDC/ActiveSync Launcher.
else, you can just use HVEdit.

Why? It's a desktop program. Works fine for WinMo ROM hives but not for WP7.

I believe, problem is in the cereg400.dll. Seems like it's outdated for WinCE version used in WP7.

CeRegEditor utilizes ActiveSync & WMDC to connect & access the registry on the device.

01. drag & drop *.hv onto HVEdit.exe
02. open the newly created *.hvm file in text editor
03. drag & drop *.hvm onto HVEdit.exe

Another "hmm"... I don't need drag&drop (you can see my status, I'm not a noob but experienced developer with ... he-he, le' me remember ... more than 20 years of development), I'm using Far Manager (and may recommend it to you). But HVEdit can't parse WP7 hive files (with or without drag&drop). If you don't believe me, try yourself, it's very easy.

oops, my mistake. i don't know about mRegEdit, haven't ever used or read of until now, for that matter. CeRegEditor can open *.hv, but not all registry are opened.

aren't you looking to do this? see below attachments.
I've tried on my hive files, copied from the working Focus (by using WP7 Root Tools + ISETool) and HVEdit can't parse these files. May be because I've copied already opened files or shadow copies (I'm not sure).
Your example is for default.hv (I believe, that file was extracted from ROM, not from the working phone, correct?)
P.S. By the way, I already "solved" parsing hives (see my posts above) but it didn't solve the "change LiveID" problem Looks like WP7 stored somewhere previous LiveID token or hash.

when i get home, i will extract the two *.hv files from my HD7 and give it a try.
i believe i had done that before and it worked, but can't be positive on whether i actually did or not.
OK, thanks. You may also try attached (in my post above) rgucomp.exe (it worked for me partially).

Hi mate,
If I understand correctly I believe sh4d0w86 is right, with HVedit you can view/browse/export in readable format WP7 registry hives like user.hv, system.hv and even default.hv.
I am doing that since I cook my first WP7 custom ROM.
Just drag the *.hv file on top of HVedit.exe and immediatly an *hvm file will be created that can easly be edited with any text editor.
Than you can do the same drag and drop process with the *.hvm and the file will be restored to *.hv again.
Hope it helps

hmm. well, sounds like you should try WMDC Launcher in conjunction with WMDC/ActiveSync and maybe WP7 Root Tools v0.9.
less, you want me to try it with your *.hv file(s). you can email them to me, if you want.

Try for what? As I said before, I already found places with the old LiveID (so I don't need parsing tool anymore), but changing to the new LiveID didn't solve the SkyDrive/Twitter access issue.

There are many different property files as well as scripts that can be edited. Hope on over to the android dev and hacking forums on xda for more info. There is no equivalent of a single registry but the build.prop file is a good place to start. :fingers-crossed:

As sbdags pointed out, there is no regedit. Android is derived from GNU/Linux. Traditionally, all global configuration files are in /etc and all local configuration files are in your home directory as dot files. Unfortunately, android stores configuration files in a whole bunch of different places.
What are you looking to configure? I'm sure we can help.
Most Android apps store their settings in SQLite databases (use any SQLite client to edit .db files). Some system-wide settings are managed using the Android property system (use getprop and setprop from a command line).

Fortunately, app-specific settings are stored in app-specific files and not in a giant registry blob that keeps accumulating outdated stuff.
