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.

yp ... I only thing I can think of too is hard reset .. dont know of a way to reset the lock code ..
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.

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...

Is there any way to boot a Wizard into a safe mode?
I dont want to hard reset , it boots, I put it my passcode and THEN it hangs, so it boots but something is killing it before it fully loads.
I think its the today screen itself that is hanging in, is there any way to disable/remove today plugins through active sync ? Add/Remove programs wont work, so am thinking I could probably disable the plugins and then reboot.....
If when you boot the phone and it hangs, it is still visible by Activestink, you could do in to your phone and remove the plugin files... then reboot, and if that in fact was causing the problem you might be ok.
Otherwise you'll be hard resetting. Hope you made a backup!
Yeah, it syncs if I dont put the password in. Only thing I would lose would be my SMS messages which haven't been backed up in a while. Bugger will be getting a new license for Opera.
Any idea where the plugins files are?
The thing that broke it was I installed O2 plus. I re-enabled RhinoStats cause I wanted to know how much CPU was taking, and I think it was the combo of these two things which broke it.
If I hold the power key down it does ask if I want to turn off my device, which is "nice"..... it's not dead but it certainly doesnt do much.
It wont add/remove programs, it gets half way through then dies.
ANd what happens if you break a today plugin? Does it fail to load and then have windows clean up after itself? Or does it royally break things?
Wont let me delete the rhinostats dll file and I dont know which O2 files I can delete so I shall not be touching those.
Have removed the sim card, will see if that helps get it into some sort of working state so I can fix the problems it seems to be having. -> Answer, no. Just shows a different screen when it gets round to breaking.
Any more ideas?
Ok, I dont know how I managed to do it, but this time (having now re-inserted my sim and removed the 2Gb SD card) it didn't immediatly die.
I cant explain it, I dont know if this is a coincidence, but I have now de-installed O2 plus and disabled all the today plugins I could find. I shall now be running a new backup.....
Now let's see if it dies.....
On a side note, anyone know of a way of exporting all the SMS messages in a format that is readable by a desktop computer (preferably via notepad/nano)?
if u want to backup ur sms msgs, there is a file called cemail.vol.
copy it to ur storage card, hard reset, then copy iy back again.

Hi Mohammad, i can't copy/paste it as it is locked by something. How to do it?
Regards...
try renaming the current cemail.vol to anything ..like cemail.volx then copy the old cemail.vol into the same directory where the new cemail.vol resides. soft reset.

but how can i backup the "old" one? as i said it is locked so i can't copy it...
btw: even renaming does not work because of the file being locked...
Tried checking it on my phone, and yes it can't, i guess this only works with Smartphones. I'm sorry for that.

hello guys,
im kinda frustrating here..
my atom exec runs not smoothly lately..i've tried to un-install programs from my device but still its doesnt run smoothly like before..
i'm planning to re-install my WM5 and install a new one on my device, can i do that with simple steps like any other Desktop computer usually have??
one more thing, i have a thought about what causing my problem..there's a file name MN1Ril.txt in my device's root and i noticed that it kept eating up my internal memory slowly..now, its size is 52mb and keep getting bigger everytime i see it..
do u guys know what it is? i try to remove it but everytime i try to remove it, it said that it has a sharing violation..i dont know what that means..
please help me..

What does that mean, if you're refering to the flash procedure, just connect to A/S and execute the DSUU of your choice, or depending on your bootloader put the device into bootloader mode then flash.

A 52MB txt file? are you sure? if you put your Atom Exec into bootloader mode (camera+reset) what is the version..eg. MN1? or MN2?
yes, it has size over 52mb..its extention is .txt..it is a virus or something? i try to delete it but i cant do it coz it said sharing violation..
i want to re-install my WM5, im a newbie and i really dont know any procedures like u said..
i have un-install all of the programs in my device, and i try to delete it in safe mode but still cant do it..
is it a virus or something coz last time i saw it, its size is 52mb from 49mb..
i want to post a screenshot but i dont have a program that can do a screenshot on my device..
perhaps its better if i re-install my WM5, dont you think so?
Ever trying the hard reset? pls backup yg personal data and fav applications first before perform the hard reset.
nope, i havent try to hard reset it..how do i do that?? ( sorry im a newbie )
is it going to solve my problem? i mean, is it going to remove that file?
does anyone know how to remove that file? coz its killing me..
now my device runs more slowly than before..i hate it!
is there any program/application that can erase or perhaps give me an information about that file and which program or apps that use that file?

Since you are a newbie, I suggest you read the XDA Atom wiki. It will answer most of your questions.
so...my idea goes like this...
1.what is the first thing u think of after your device got lost\stolen??
W.I.M.P (or any other anti theft program)
2.what is the second thing u think of???
what if the person who found\stole my device performed HR(?!)..
ok so what i was thinking of is having a way to change\modify the buttons sequence (witch every body knows) to perform HR so it will be like your own locking code..
unfortunately..i dont have this kind of tools and knowledge to do it so i'm asking u guys...
plz check it out !! it will upgrade the whole security issue...
But you can do a hard reset directly with the software (clear storage)
Maybe cook your own rom and put any anti theft software in it with settings?
So if someone does hard reset it will stay there.
thats the only way it is possible i think.
btw when my 1st diamond got stolen i had THINKED installing anti theft week before but didnt do it because of lots of boring settings well love insurance.
http://pocketpc-live.com/help-and-support/1575-install-uta-on-ext-rom-htc-devices.html
ok....i was thinking about it while showering...
when u do "clear storage" u r being asked to enter "1234" to confirm...
all we need to do is change it too....
now...if we change the HR buttons sequence and the numbers to enter for HR from the software......what other way to HR u can use????
i think this is the best solution...
anyone know how to do it?
hi guys..i m using a HTC touch (GSM) with WM professional 6...hw can i reinstall/reformat the OS completely...i try google and search here bt all thy give is hard reset, not reformat the OS..so no choice bt to ask help here...pls sumbody guide me....thk u vy much 4 ur time...=)
What do you mean by reformat ? If you want to return to factory settings, hard reset is the answer.
HI
Did you install a cooked rom and you want to return to the original HTC rom of your Device , If so you need to search and download the official rom specific for device model and flash it (your device will become locked again unless yoy had a hard SPL)
If you Didnot install a cooked rom and still have the original one but having some problems may be due to installing some programs then all you need is a hard reset

Hard reset reinstalls your original rom new as it came out of the box but it will erase all data and programs you added to phone
Hanging ,resetting and slowing may be due to virus(not common on WM) or more commonly low memory (too much prog or data on internal storage) , Bad or incompatible software
Antivirus
There are several antivirus prog for handheld devices (Kasersky , McAfee etc) search Google buy or use a trial version and check your device
If infected after removing virus it is better to format SD card
Reformat OS = Flash.

Yes, hard reset also clear memory too.
but to be extra safe, flashing is a better bet.
Flash to stock htc rom.
Hard reset clears your phone completely
to backup your data you can
Use SPB backup(I had it on HTC software disc in thge box) this will back all your settings ,contacts , messages and programs into an exe file on SD card after hard reset run it and everything is there again BUTif the cause is virus or bad programe it will retun to so i prefer that you dont backup programs
PIMbackup is also a free tool to back your messages and contacts only

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.
