As far as we noticed, Wm6 has a terrible bug. Locked device with a password wont be recognized if battery was removed. Also it resets the clock. I believe there is a solution for the password thing. here's what i've done
1- Download and install this cab file Omega-Pass : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OTW2NZT6 ( A password application that is gonna be used )
2- Go to the application and set the Password- Now the builtin lock application will take the settings from Omega-Pass .
3- youll notice that Windows Lock will require a password as if set as alphanumeric
4- Go back to the Built-in Lock Application and reset the password u want if u need a numerical form Only.
I think also u can just install the application and go directly to the builtin lock application and configure it but didnt try that. Dont wanna risk it i already had 4 hard reset
Now if you do all 4 steps even if u remove the battery for an hours , it will keep recognizing your password. The clock will be reset only. That worked for me .
Please inform me if it works for you also.

well it may work but i just dont use password lock so ... it is useless to me, but this software does not fix the bug only prevents it from happening
Yes of course it interacts with the Builtin Lock code. if we can know how it's preventing it from happening maybe we can fix it ?
i am not so sure where exactly the bug is, but backup battery is only enabled when the main battery is depleted... but when you remove the main battery the power needed for preserving the basic information like time, date, lock password is not transferred from backup battery maybe this is power management or driver bug, and i have seen this in WM5 too
Buth at this time this problem is not yet solved
The thing i dnt understand is that WM6 devices Dont have a Backup battery as i saw on a HTC Touch device. So is it that BA is not 100% compatible with Wm6 ? or it's just a bug with all wm6 devices ?
well I tried, it seem working. for my case, I didn't need to remove the battery to have the problem, after a simple soft reset (after a reconfiguration with the advance reconfiguration tool), the password was lost.
So I do not know if i will have the problem again .
hope not
how did you get in your BA once the password is lost?
i just got my BA and installed WM6...
im down at my 20mins per retry...
Once the password is forgotten , You gotta hard-reset it. This solution only prevent it from being forgotten and cannot restore it.
What is original pass for that device?
Solution
Hi Guys..
The only way to skip this password screen taht i found was it:
Do a HARD hard reset (All data will be lost).
just soft reset first your device, than after you see the stripped screen, press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. then you will see the three options..
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes
to choose just use the camera and record to change the options...
No more..
I hope that it help.
Help!!!

I got a unit from my girlfriend...in the process of soft spl upgrade something went wrong. Now I have a device asking for a password to unlock it. The old password was "prettyphone" and this password does not work now.
Now I cannot get the unit to connect via activesynch because it is asking for a password.
I press reset and do the above but all I got is a screen normally u see when you do rom upgrade...Please give me advise how to hard reset.
thanks
can anyone upload in rapidshare?

Hi Haile...
Did you these steps correct???
After you press the reset button with the stylus, immediately press and hold the record and camera buttons.
It should work.
No more.
wat i did when i experienced the password not accepted thingy was, when i did the hard reset, we needed to follow the "no, yes, yes" sequence. what i did was not choose yes on the option where it asked to reformat rom(i forgot what was written on the display). i think i chose "no,yes,no". after that, everything was still there and the password on startup was gone. hope this helps to some of u guys.
thank a lot

If the device is locked,when the device is locked how can you download and install something...? Please somebody tell this clown that a device locked on password on WM6 ,you cannot access the phone whatsoever at all, WMDC will ask you to "autenticate" on the phone if you want connection...
The guy who gives this solution hasnt got a clue just as much Bill Gates hasnt.
yesss
yes it worked on mine this way as well.
Obviously the correct password wouldnt work...
Id like to see that billionaire giving some appologies for that....
Anyway mind this first;
Press and keep holding Camera and Record buttons .
Press reset in the same time
Keep holding Camera and Record another 2 more seconds .
Using the same two buttons do the No-yes-yes then
Attention ress just "OK" . pressing reset wont work.
IK does unlock .it just did my HTC .

With all this talk about WM5 devices not really resetting everything after a hard reset, and my device being dead and not recovering after a hard reset makes me think, there must be an alternate way to really hard reset a device back to factory condition.
I tried a lot of combinations of presses to no end. The only thing I am suspicious about but did not play with is a red/white round sticker (which looks like it is hiding a button) under the battery (upper left corner).
Anyone know what that is, or is there a way to do a harder reset? Taking the battery out for a few days did not help either.
Because flash memory actually needs erasing rather than just resetting I doubt it is possible to clear it with a simple button press. It may be you can do a normal hard reset and hold down a button to bypass loading data from the flash then format it. But I've no idea really.

Re-flash the ROM?
uuummm some where in this forum i read that if you have wm2005 and go to boot loader mode you get an option over there to clear the cache or memory something like that, and that would give you a clean installation.....
haven't tried it though.....and i doubt i would get such an option in wm2003se, also i have a similar problem i did a complete flash reinstallation of rom to my device and after the installation i opened windows media player (wasnt the first thing i opened, but didnt copy any files)and guess what....i had a song available over there..... which i could actually play and it did....i checked the location of the file and it was somewhere in my device or documents dont quite remember i did a hard reset again and same issue....
after that i have'nt tried anything the rom is same i just deleted the folder manually but i would also like to know how to TOTALLLLLLY ERASE ALL DATA from the device and clean install everything
regards
on the XDA II and WM5 you hold down the buttons to resent stage then i gives you three options. One of these I am sure clears the phone
I hard reset my Universal several times (well I think I did at least)
Press the soft reset plus the two "-" buttons and you will have a white screen asking if you want to put back your HTC back factory default
Unfortunately that standard hard reset, doesn't do it. I am still stuck at reboot, and the radio rom version shows the attempted upgrade version (01) that started the problem in the first place.
i tried some of them according to herein, but some of them were not function.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Technical
there's a little icon called "clear storage" which brings your settings to the factory's default. what's wrong with it?
i'm stuck too in bootloader with my mda pro

This may be too late, but there's no way to do any sort of a reset to revert back to a previous ROM... the only thing you can do is reflash the earlier ROM.

ok ... now the final BIG request ... who can give us an update that works. the patched Maupgradeut_noid is not working with the latest upgrade.
thanks.
To revert back to clean copy of OS (i.e newly installed OS)
Hi,
Just to share with you my experience in reverting my phone to its original OS condition. Before that, just to give you guys some background.
1. Upgraded from PPC2003 to WM5
2. Tried install some patch to enable file transfer (OBEX) in BT
3. Suddenly, the phone screen gone missing. Phone shows No Signal. Cannot receive call.
3a. Did a OS reflash again, but still does not solve the problem.
4. **Panic for a moment **
5. Looked thro Program Files, and seems like some appln i installed were not erased despite doing a hard reset. So, i guess the hard reset doesnt erase some portion of the memory
6. Googled for a solution, but most said do hard reset
7. Went back xda-developers.com site to look for solution
8. Finally found a method. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1164331 to do a format on the memory
Now, my phone is working fine. The phone screen is back and it shows my telco name, and can receive call
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Choon
you're in the wrong forum mate
Hi all I don't know what happened but I can't interact with it anymore since I installed net framework 2.0 on my mini sd card... the only thing that does is switch on and off... not even active sync... I try to reflash my current firmware "AKU3.2-1.0RC1" but it wont find the phone... guys please help me on this I need this phone for work...
well have you tried to dump the net frame off your card? Did you hard reset before you tried to re-flash?
I tried to start it without the mini sd but It wond sync and so I can not reflash it.... i tried to hard reset and the stylus wont do anything in the screen... only when I press the power button I can use the stylus to click yes or not... that's it... :S please tell me there is a combination of keys to reset it or I'm f***ed
I found out that I can get into boot screen if I press power+camera button and then reset... but from there how can I start the reflash?
ok have you done the comm + voice + reset When it is in reset press power, it will ask you if you would like to format, follow on screen. and then it should put it make to factory settings.
Man......... you are my heroooo... SOLVEEEEEED... THANKSSSSS... more then 7 hours trying to find a combination like that... and now is done thank you once again
so it worked for you?
Sorted!!!!
Yes...You are a star!!!! thank you...

NEVER EVER enable that damn video acceleration feature in Pocket Controller without making a backup ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) OR without installing a Safe Mode application ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1255&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) first!
I've published MANY articles (example: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=474&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) on the dire consequences of enabling video acceleration on WM5 devices. It's certainly worth reading all my articles thoroughly for anyone because, then, you can easily avoid situations like this.
Hi all ,
Please any one help me to open my HTC P3600 as i put simple lock key on it , put i forgot it , How i can resolve this problem , i need data on my mobile.
Thanks
Do you mean a PIN when you switch the device on? If you can't remember it then you're stuffed, IIRC. Even ActiveSync won't backup or connect without a PIN.
Best get those little grey cells working to remember it Or Hard Reset and start again....
i forgot my password after upgrade my wm5 to wm6. i tried to to use spl to flash my phone but my pc cant open my device because my device is locked so the activsync cant do anything.
someone can help me plz!!!!!!!!!!!
*edit* i try to hold the camera and com man buttons adn the same time and press reset button. but it doesnt change
Firstly, I can't see how resetting the device will help you with your problem.
Secondly, how far into a reset do you want to go? Do you want to reinstall the OS or something slightly less drastic?
i just want to open my password. then i will upgrade my phone to wm6 with PIN
Did you set a password after flashing WM6? I've heard that if you do so, your device forgets your password after a soft-reset, and nothing will help your problem besides a hard reset.
Hi!
I`m totally new to this so i would like to ask for a help! I have Qtek s110, and i was reading about updating the ROM and that kind of things, trying to get know better the device.
On http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BackupExistingRom
i have read that if you press Camera + Power and Soft Reset, you will enter into the bootloader mode. I wanted to see that mode, and pressed that. I got some message - word and some number and nothing happend (not error message but i cannot remember exactly the word and the nubmer..like some version number).
Then i have restarted the device so i could use it again and when the device finished the boot, i had to calibrate the screen, and things like that, like on the first boot of device (the programs where installing). After that i lost all of my personal informations, contacts, programs!!! PLEASE HELP if there is any help!
Of course, i didnt make any ROM backups! Is there any way to get my data back!? On my storage card i saw some folders that i didnt make myself. Some WMDRM with some .hds file and some 08071200001 empty folder!
Please help!
P.S. Why the hack that guy didnt said that button sequence is hard reset of the device!?? DAMN!
Sorry, but i`m really pissed! I will kill somebody now!

Hi there
There are no way to restore the data from ram since you hard reset your device. The big lost is contact book and sms message. You can try to copy the contact from sim to phone if it is exist in Sim card.
Good luck
try removing the battery n keep it like that for about 10 hrs.. n then put it back on n start the ppc..see if it helps
..n if it doesn't do not worry, ur fone aint dead yet....u'd have to go thru the hard way then
