I read somebody suggested to replace the 'cprog.exe' with other file (which rename to cprog.exe). I managed to replace the original program of cprog.exe. Now my question is how to recover the original 'cprog.exe' back. I tried to copy cprog.exe from other phone but found the application(cprog.exe) actually cannot copy,rename or move. Now my phone cannot answer incomming call. Could somebody help me :wink:
Thanks in advance
A simple hard reset should do it

Hi Rain,
Thanks to you it save my day of my dopod 577W
I just go to the START->ACESSORIES->CLEAR STORAGE
and voila! everything was cleared and comebact to original...
Thanks a lot to you because giving me the key words HARD RESET
Sorry I didn't see your post before. I would have saved you the hassle of HR.
cprog.exe is a ROM file so you can't copy it out.
But you can overwrite it whith another file that will be stored in regular storage memory. That is what you did, so the original file was never deleted, just hidden by a file whith the same name.
In the future, if you have similar problem, just rename the file, then soft reset. The original file will reappeare and you will be able to delete the replacement.

I AM USE IMATE JAMIN TEL ME ANY SOFTWARE FOR BACKUP MY PHONE BOOK IN MEMORY CARD WHEN I HARD RESET PHONE AND I RESTORE PHONE BOOK FROM BACKUP PLZ HELP ME ON THIS...............
You will start confusing others with your "M-Card". The safest way to do so is to use Outlook to sync your contacts. Else, do you backup using SPB backup and do a restore after hardreset, but that will defeat the purpose of hardreset.. whatever your reason is.
I asked the same question some time ago for the same reason, levenum gave me the solution.
"In the built in file explorer select "show all files" option. Then in the root of the device you will see a file named 'pim.vol'. Just copy that to your SD."
Mine for some reason said it could not copy as the file was in use, however it let me rename it, once renamed I copied it.
To recover simply replace the new 'pim.vol' with the saved one. Rename the new 'pim.vol', dump your saved 'pim.vol' and then soft reset, contacts will not show until reset. Then delete the 'pim.vol' you changed.
Greetings!
I manually copied a japanese font into my windows/fonts folder, but now when i try to delete it, my o2 neo says its in use and i can't delete it.
Of course i terminated all tasks and rebooted several times but i still can't delete it.
Does anyone of you have any suggestions regarding my situation? Maybe a program to unlock files? Or a Program which will delete the file after the next reboot or something similar?
Help is greatly appreciated!
No response yet?
So i guess the only choice is to do a hard reset?
Isn't there a little trick i could use to delete that stupid .ttf file?
Hi,
you must rename the *.ttf to *.old or so.
then softreset and than delete.
*.ttf is loaded automatic at system
Menkul
Thats impossible!!!
It really worked!
Thank you soo much Menkul!
I even didn't try that out, because i thought the OS wouldn't allow me to rename a locked file

Hi.
I've got an i-mate JASJAM and stupidly managed to delete all of my contacts while upgrading to WM6. Having realised I could one day be this foolish I backed my contacts up about a year ago by copying the "pim.vol" file which I'd read somewhere is this phone's contact list.
Unfortunately I can't seem to copy this file from my computer back onto my phone as it won't let me replace my current pim.vol file as it say's there is a sharing violation. I've tried renaming the files etc, so my old contact list might be recognised but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm sorry interrupt, but I had and still have a problem with pim.vol. I accidentally deleted those contacts from happiness, I saved the pim to card, and now when I want to put back the original pim.vol every time the WM is creating a new empty pim.vol. I tried the version that gave success to Axelman8 but I would like to ask if you could help me with some suggestions.
P.S.: I have a HTC Tytan II with WM 6.1
I'm sorry for the language I use the Google translate, hope You understand me.

Hi All,
This might be some old stuff which might have been answered. But please let me know how to restore PIM file after doing hard reset of HTC Touch. I have copied that file before hard reset and I have only that file to restore.
I heard that, this file contains all contact details,reminders, to-do list. Is it true?

Hi all,
I need to replace the pim.vol file on my Blackstone with an older copy. I tried a simple copy and rename procedure, but after rebooting my device, cprog.exe crashes and the device remains frozen until I change back to the original pim.vol ( via PC using Activesync).
Any ideas how I can replace my pim.vol without my phone freaking out?
Thanks in advance...
Bumping for the first and last time only... anyone?

Just simply replacing a file may not work due to which rom it came from. The replace new files with an older version may not be compatible and may also affect registry enties. Always better to use 3rd party apps for backup.
How did you originally backup your PIM data. Did you just copy a file over or did you use 3rd party apps like SPB Backup, Sprite etc?
Thanks for the reply, Fallen... the PIM file is from the same ROM as the one I'm trying to replace for (1.19 that ships with handsets with Orange UK).
I understand what you're saying about using back up software; in fact I had used PIMbackup, but I had stored the backup file generated by this program on the SD card on my phone only, and unfortunately my phone got lost/stolen - a possibility I hadn't taken into account. I've got a replacement handset now.
The pim.vol file I'm trying to replace with was simply copied from my phone's main folder to my PC a long time ago. Although I can view the pim.vol file as a text file and extract contact names and phone numbers amidst the rest of the ASCII junk in there, I was hoping there might be a way to replace it.
Could I get access to the phone internal storage memory without booting up the phone into Windows somehow and then replace the pim.vol file?
Rename the \pim.vol file, to something like pim2.vol, then copy your old replacement into the root of the device.

Don't mean to be rude, but if you read my original post, you'll know that I've tried that and it didn't work for me, hence this post.
