ive got an htc touch pro that has had the meid number changed to that of another htc touch pro...my question is...is there anyway to reset the main software to revert the meid back to its orginal number that came with the phone....
1st option is Clear Storage then 2nd option is Hard Reset
Did you try to use 'Clear Storage'?
Clear Storage
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
If the above method did nothing for your device then
in my opinion it's time to do a 'HARD RESET' for your device...
Important;
If Encrypt files, when placed on a storage card is enabled, backup all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard reset, or updating the ROM system software. Otherwise you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
To perform a HARD RESET
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before you perform a hard reset.
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press VolUp to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
:END
IMO this will revert the meid back to its original number.
Senax
You will have to manually change the meid back yourself. Look on www.mobile-files.com

What is reset on the device at hard reset?

not 100% sure what you mean here
but hardreset can be compared to putting the restore cd in your dell computer and let it rewind the whole system back to how it was when you got it
where softreset is like rebooting a computer
I saw the quote below on http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/Jul05/winmobile5.asp
Therefore I wondered if a hard reset also reset the things mentioned below (I suppose it should be possible...).
Earlier a device hard reset didn't cleared the "persistent storage" however.
"Windows Mobile 5.0 supports “persistent storage,” which means that all of your personal data, user-installed applications, and updates are stored in non-volatile flash ROM memory. RAM is now reserved for running programs, just like it is on a desktop PC. You can no longer install applications in RAM. The big advantage is that you don’t loose your data, your installed programs, or your system configuration if your battery runs out of power."
LOL! buddy! you are to fast.. just relax, universal isnt yet released to public.

* coldboot : power + resaet

Yes, there is:
1) Go to Start Menu.
2) Go to Programs.
3) Go to Clear Storage (this is equivalent to a hard reset, so beware! YOU ARE GOING TO ERASE ALL YOUR INFORMATION & RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS!).
4) Type 1234
5) Press YES.
6) Press OK button.
7) Wait for the reset.
You are now back at the beginning.
Press down the two - keys and press the rest button.
Then 0 to restore to factory settings.
Corporate option will ask for a code.
Its 0506.
You then need THIS CAB file to setup o2 settings or it wont find a network/MMS/3g service.

I have WM 6.1 instaled
I changed the SIM card, I put the battery again, but now I'm not able to enter windows. I write my password but it say it isn't correct. I can't understand it!!!!
even if I put my old SIM or without sim, now it doesn´t recognise my password.
I wouldn´t like to reinstall everyth just now :-(
what can I do??
please...
thank you
It was said multiple times here, that you should not set up device password because of intermittent errors related to it. Now all ypou can do is HardReset and recover from last backup. Or maybe it's time to make your first backup?
Ohh!!!! no!!!!! mierda!!!!
thanks anyway.
Yes, I haven't got a backup, but I'm not at home so I can't do anything! mierda mieda y mierda!
here u go without a HARD RESET
just go to the hard reset menu by pressing camera+record and reset.
Select yes for clean registry hive and no for others than save.
it will remove password but u may have to re-install some of ur softwares and re configure some settings.
All ur msgs, contact etc. remain intact.
I CAN CONFIRM THIS CAUSE IT HAPPENS WITH ME TOO AND YES TODAY.
This is in fact a Hard Reset (cleaning registry) without formatting internal flash - so files from it are not lost, but most applications will need regular reinstallation.
well it has been said that when you want to remove the battery for some reason, just press the power button to put the device on standby, wait 20 seconds, and then remove the battery without waking the device, this way your registry stuff remains intact and it is a lot harder to screw your pasword.
krishan2207's way is more proper for your case, you will suffer almost nothing this way

Hi palonisj,
You can try and perform a Hard Reset (wipes device back to factory settings) to see if it makes any difference. Please note: a hard reset will reset your phone back to factory settings, this excludes data stored on your MicroSD card.
If you need to backup any data (such as Contacts, Messages, etc) before you perform a hard reset, then you can use a backup program such as PIMBackup or Sprite Backup (you get 15-days full trial) to backup your entire phone to the storage card. In order to run this application, you first need to install the relevant cab file on your phone and then you access the backup program (PIMBackup or Sprite) via your phone to create a backup.
To perform a Hard Reset, please do the following:
1) With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2) Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
3) Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
4) After the reset, don't install any software. Try the camera.
5) If you still have the same problem, you can also try going to the official HTC website, to the support section, and apply their Hotfix. Here is the link: http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533. Just follow the steps and you'll hopefully be fine. *** Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your PC before you try this step ***.
If nothing from what I have suggested above works, then it is very likely to be a hardware issue in which case you should call up HTC to arrange repair - also explain to them that you've tried the Hotfix in the support section mentioned on their website.
Regards.
hi any ideas on this sorry im a little simple on this
You can't delete it off the ROM so if you did a hard reset it will be back on the device and then you can re-enter your S/N...OR, if you've just deleted the shortcut off the Start menu you can make a new one using ActiveSync/WMDC
ok mate thanks how do i do that then? lol sorry told u i was pathetic at this
Hard reset:
Turn off the device, hold Vol Up and Vol Down and tap the power button - keep the Vol Up/Down held and you should get a screen asking you to press Vol Up to delete all personal info (make sure you back up contacts, etc. first!!!). I usually do this with both SIM and SD card removed from phone to be on the safe side!!
Make a short cut:
Connect phone to PC and it should give you an icon in My Computer (assuming you have it connected via activesync on the phone). You can then browse to the CoPilot folder and make a new shortcut and paste it in the Start menu.
If you've only just started using the phone and haven't set much up a hard reset is prob the easiest thing to do
ive still got the co pilot splash screen icon but ive just deleted all the files ive had the phone a while so the activ sync option is the best bet i think?
If you deleted them from within the program files on the phone then you'll need to do a hard reset unless you can find a CAB for the program.
What ROM are you using?
