Help needed desperately

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.
Click here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets to find out how.

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...

Settings\Connections\USB to PC reg key affected ?

Hi guys!
I cannot enter the menu Settings\Connections\USB to PC , it simple do nothing. (i think it stop working after trying a SD to DISKMODE soft)
Can someone tell me what registry keys it use and modify ?
The only way to make it working again is a HARDRESET but i got too much software already instaled and backups carry the error that dont let me enter the menu.

Give the following a try. Dunno if it will be sufficient or working at all. (Make a backup before doing so).
Hope others will also post their findings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\70]
"Key"="\\Drivers\\USB\\FunctionDrivers\\Serial_Class"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
"DefaultClientDriver"="Serial_Class"

remove the space from Serial_Cla ss

Mine stopped opening a couple of days back. I wonder if we both carried out some identical activity that can be pinned down (not the above you suggested - does not apply to me). I had to hard reset 3 days ago and over past two days I've been reinstalling apps along with SKtools new app for me. Also been having problems not experienced before with Active sync wanting to set up new relationship on virtually every connection.
Anyway you try Menneisyys suggestion and I'll await your results. If evrything goes kaput I'll know not to bother.
Mike

GREATTTTTTTTTTT Menneisyys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thankyou very much!
Changing to this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
make it work again! It was set to "`USB" only

it stop working again... this time I cannot make it work again and I cant pinpoint where is the trouble.

How to cook a ROM for my TyTn Orange SPV 3100[Hermes]

Hi friends, I am looking for a solution to the problem of theft of PDA's. I have been told that in order to have a complete protection I may enter a theft protection application in the ROM itself so that even if any intelliegent thief is going to hardreset it I could still well would have the protection of that software. I have purchased a software for myself & looking to put in to self cooked ROM. May I know which is the best way of making a ROM for my Orange SPV 3100. Will it be a success or a failure to begin with. This is something I want to know from the seniors out here. I want a brainstorming session to be conducted here so that this scourge of theft could be controlled to an extent. I know there are lot of intelligent people out here in XDA Forum but I don't know why are'nt they taking any step in this novel concept. I know they cann't put any legal software coz that would make the ROM illegal but they can provide the option to the users so that they may buy & add that theft protection in to that ROM. I hope I have made myself clear with my plans..I hope a serious & honest consideration would be given to my initiative. This would be a paradigm change in the PDA usage...

If the thieve is not too dumb he will reflash the ROM anyway.
As far as I know there is no proof of concept of an ultimate anti thieve tool.

Dear be a part of answer not of the question. I want all of Your support in order to make this thing possible. I believe a cooked ROM can do that..

Hi friend I got this reply in one of my queries posted to somebody somewhere. Just wanna confirm whether this trick will work as to make a permanent theft protection in my ROM. I hope You got it..Plz comment seniors
Ultimate theft alert - The method to survive hard reset!
The software can be made to survive Hard-resets by adding certain files to your Ext.ROM. There are many tools to see/unlock your extended ROM - i am using Total Commander for PPC. Simply type "extended_rom" (without "") in the Dir bar and u will get full access.
After purchasing the software, you will have the following files in your Pocket PC' Windows folder
RecordDUI_UTA.txt
utaconfig
uta v3.exe
mesuta
Tapilib.dll
& UTA v3.lnk in Windows/Startup folder
1.Take a copy of these files in your PC.
2.Download WinCE cab manager. Trial version would be enough for the job. This software helps in creating cab files.
3.Add the above files to be placed in Windows folder
4.UTA v3.lnk should be specified to be placed in Windows/Startup folder
5.Finally you can build the cab.
This cab should be added to your Ext.ROM and a small edit to the config file of Ext.ROM(present in Ext.ROM folder) should be made to install the copied cab.

As fun_key already stated:
This is wasted time and energy! Nothing you would cook into your personal ROM would prevent a thief from simply reflashing the device! Also: while you're busy on the computer trying to cook an ANTI THEFT ROM somebody really might come and steal your pda ...
Best way of protection:watch your stuff!
In case you go ahead and cook a ROM for the next weeks you might give it a thought that even if there would be a possibility to prevent the thief from using your device right away - you will have lost it anyway! I doubt that the thief would come back, knock on your door and return the phone to you under appaologies ...

How do I Re-installing WM5 on my Atom exec

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.

Cant install most of the softwares !!!!!!!!!!

can't help you or tell you the reason because you are not giving enough details about what you are trying to install, what is going wrong. How are you trying to install. Exe or .cab files. are you just getting error's during the installation

i tried to install .cab & .exe , but it says install unsuccessful, for example SPB & Battery status

mmmm
On what ?... is the cab on the phone or on the PC ???????

i tried both , but i couldnt

You have the HTC Touch Elf right? No cabs at all are instaling on your phone.
Possibiliites:
1. The cab files are being currupted either while you are downloading them or while you are sending them to your phone. FYI Cab files are to be installed via your phone not PC. Transfer the complete cab to phone and just click it to install - Do Not Unzip it. (A cab file looks like it is a zip file or a rar file wen it is on your PC but don't be fooled. it is a cab and does not need to be unzipped) you will only see a bunch of messy files and will just get confuzed. just place the cab on your phone and tap it with your stylus to initiate install
Exe's are to be installed via your PC to your phone through activsinc. place the exe on your desktop (Or wherever) and connect your phone to your PC using Activsinc. Then click the exe on your desktop and follow installation instructions - NOte you will have to still do some clicking on your phone to allow the installation.
2. you are not installing them properly and therfore follow instructions above.
3. your phone is currupt somehow (I don't see how) Try a hard reset and see if the programs will install after that. if not, you might want to return your phone for warranty (I am assuming you just got this phone and this is the first time you are trying to install something.
4. Maybe you have run out of room on your device to install any more applications (if you have been installing tons of other stuff successfully)
I have never gotten any errors installing cabs or exe's exept for when I was trying to install something that my phone did not support. (Not a valid WM application) or something like that.
Edit: You still are not give us much information - What type of error are you getting - What does your phone show/tell you?
Does it start to install and fail half way through? does it not start at all? does it install and the programs just do not run?
Tell us what program you are trying to install - what error you are getting and when you are getting it. Tell us the method you have used to install it etc....
If you want help you will have to provide us with as much information and detail as you can. Otherwise - Good Luck.
I will check back here regularly to see your response and try to help, but if you don't give us much more detail - no one will be able to help you.

Did you flashed your ROM recently?

it start to install and fail half way through, but not all of the softwares , for example i cant install tcpmp,wm router , battery status , and alot of softwares , the error is always the same ( it start to install and fail half way through)

I don't know about battery status or wm router but TCPMP is an exe type installation. if you try to install this using your phone by putting the TCPMP installation on your phone and clicking to install, it won't work. You have to put the installation file on your computer, connect your device to your computer through activesinc. then click the TCPMP Installation on your desktop and follow instructions. Make sure you accept installation on your device when your device asks. The others may be the same

i did like that , but nothing changed , same message , install unsuccessful

Are you trying to install to your storage card or to device? Are you certain that you have enough storage space left?
Do you have any problems with Activsinc?
Have you tried downloading another copy of TCPMP - Maybe the copy you have is no good.

yeh , i tried on both storage and device memory , i have 1.5 gb remaining on storage also
my active sync is working in perfect condition, i dont know wht happend , ok , is there anything that i can upgrade my phone ???

I don't know if I can help you with this problem. I have never had any problems installing anything onto my device even when the app wasn't compatible. usually still installed, just wouldn't run. I am still using official stock WM 6.0 rom that came on my device. (have not ever flashed a new ROM or Radio and don't know anything about that. If you did flash a new ROM or radio, that could be what is causing your problems and you may want to examine in the thread where you got your ROM or Radio from for answers or to see if anyone else is having the same difficulties. Perhaps PM the person who cooked the ROM. If you havn't flashed any new ROM or Radio, then maybe you changed something in your registry that you shouldn't have with a registry editor (just a thought - don't know if you have ever done this) or maybe you have an app on your phone that is causing conflict when trying to install other apps. You can always try a hard reset of your device (if you don't mind starting from scratch again customizing your device) and then try installing TCPMP and see if it works right after a hard reset. That would suggest either something was changed in your registry or that another app was causing conflict. Bit of a pain in the a## having to reinstall everything(unless you don't have much installed on your device) and still no guarantee that it will work. Before doing a hard reset, you might want to look into backing up your device. (I don't know anyting about backing up - what program to use or how much it can back up such as setting or such but you might want to check it out. Also make sure you sincronize your device with your computer prior to hard reset so that all your contacts, appointments etc... are up to date that way after a hard reset you can just syncronize your device again and get your contacts and appointments etc... back.
If anyone else has any suggestions here -- Please feel free to jump in. I know that I would be really annoyed not being able to install new apps to my device.
Good luck. I hope this gets figured out for you

i had the same problem, it was unbelievably frustrating, i had to restore my X1i to factory settings, that fixed the problem.

I think you should follow hotrod101's suggestion and do a hard reset. Its quite likely that your phone has malfunctioned or something. It's probably going to save you a lot of work in the long run. Or turn in your device in one of the HTC service centers as already stated. Don't forget to back all your stuff up first.
Good Luck.

thanx alot

you did not say whether your rom is original or coked as i met some problems with cocked roms in installing arabic based applications that was easily installed before flashing me device

Did you get things figured out - If so please share with the rest what you did to solve your problem, in case others are having similar problems. Did one of our suggestions help or did you find another solution?

same problem on my Touch Pro, seams to be common ... some say that it is due to the fixed number (50 installed programs) on the touch flue ... however, I have no more information of how did they got this result, or what is the registry of this issue???
I hope if someone help on this to avoide us the headache cused by hard reset, just thinking about it make me crazy.
even hard reset is not a solution.
