"This device is restricted from downloading this file t

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!

It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.

ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).

Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....
__________
Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...

Thank you very much, much appreciated.

I have the htc wizard running the most beautiful edition rom. will this work by any chane? I can't download any file this device is restricted from downloading this file type every bloody time...

Edit:
Okay I found that my security policies on my MDA did NOT match totally with the one that was posted here. Little adjustments had to be made in the value of the d-words as well as 3 dwords had to be added.
I also found ADDITIONAL D-Words:

I have not checked if changing these have fixed my issue or not so lets find out I will post back with the result. Should I try removing the additional ones found on my MDA?

Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem

I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan

Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?

this device is restricted from downloading this file type
I have had this problem on my HTC touch with windows mobile 6.
This microsoft bug can make you loose a lot of work, time and data.
Are the Microsoft programmers drinking while they work?
Here is the solution I found!

Restricted Download !!!!! Hum
Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help

SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!

And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD

A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case

Alltel PPC 6800 Video Messaging FIX!!!

Hey everybody here is the Fix I have been looking for if you install this cab file it will overwrite your current ARcSoft picture messaging and give you the ability to receive video messages from other cell phones, at least it did for me and I am using the new upgraded 6.1 rom from dcd 2.2.4, thanks to all the developers for cooking this up.
But sorry I seem to be having issues uploading the file here so I put it up on rapidshare HERE is the link but if you have trouble getting it just PM and I will email it to you.

Since I've seen this question a few times, i'm posting a few keywords so it is hit on searches for other users:
mms picture video messaging alltel arcsoft
Also another link - the person who came up with it initially from what I can tell: http://www.lennysh.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2

This will leave everything else the same (leave the pic/video tab in the messaging menu) but allow me to finally view the videos on my phone?
Just hoping there aren't any bad side effects.

Yes it will leave everything like it was before, it is the same software we have on the phone, just updated to include the codecs necessary to view video messages from other phones that we werent able to view before. I havent seen any side effects yet and have used this on 4 different 6800s but of course cant make any guarantees, however at worst you can always hard reset if you dont like it and you will be back to the factory arcsoft software that came with the phone.

Mad Props!!! Works like a charm! Alltel tech support had told me that their "system" didn't support it! What a bunch of friggin liers! You are awesome!!!

Yes if a tech support rep told you that they were just trying to get rid of you has nothing to do with their system and everything to do with the phone itself but dont thank me, as mentioned above thank the developer found here. I am just trying to make sure everybody knows about it.

Just want to say that on Alltel's behalf, we have been waiting to hear back from HTC about the video codecs fix for a while, not too much we can do there except to explain what we have been informed of to customers until HTC releases an update. Same thing with our blackberry pearl MMS issues. Luckily for those of us informed, there are places like XDA that help people out.

Arcsoft Patch
I have a PPC 6800 and cannot receive video messages. I get told to go to axcessmypics. It is running Windows Mobile 5.0. Will the CAB file mentioned in this thread work with my phone. Is there a way to tell what version of Arcsoft is being used? Just as a side note, I recorded a video on the phone and sent it to myself, and was able to view it. Thanks.

Picture Messaging.
I had the same problem with the video messaging and it told me to go to acessmy pics. They actually sent me a picture that was supposed to upgrade my software on my phone, but now i dont have picture messaging at all. does anyone know how i can reinstall the messaging back to my device?

Bluetooth Problems! Cant Receive!

Hi!
I have had this phone for a few days and have unlocked and upgraded to WM6!
I am really happy as I have just upgraded from my HTC Alpine!
My only remaining problem is Bluetooth.
A) I have to turn on Bluetooth before I can send a file within explorer.
B) I can't receive files at all! It simply says ERROR on the senders phone.
The latter is the more important one which I need a fix for ASAP. I have trawelled the web and have not seen a fix.
I have obviously made sure that my phone can be detected and to receive all incoming beams as well as pairing them. Still no luck.
I also had a look at Bluezard which looks quite good as an extra, (want to recieve files without it) but it look quite old and no longer in development, is there any other application that does the same thing that it perhaps a bit more modern?
Thanks,
Joe/Jophster

In phone settings there an icon for Beam. Check it if not already check. Then try to receive file. If already checked then try to change the sending device may be bluetooth not connecting because of any conflicts.
About sending you have to keep the bluetooth active/on because there is IR port in hermes so it will not ask you to on bluetooth.

Bluezard
Hi
Well the ROM I was using apparently had problems so I have tried a different one and will experiment. It was so easy with my HTC Apline, it is so annoying to do something so simple!
Thanks for the help!

Do you know of any others. Maybe a way to chat via bluetooth or to send multiple files. If not then Bluezard looks like a good solution.

I struggled with the same issue and did as told to do and searched a bit more....
Found the answer here.

It was a fault highlighted in the initail build of

and as instructed i installed Dr Yar Bluetooth app and all is well.
Ill post this in the other threads i found and see if it makes people happy.

Simple Way to fix Internet Connection Problems

I've recently had many problems with bad latancy and slow connections via the email client and browers. Also my H icon in the toolbar would switch to E all the time as if I had poor reception, when I didn't. after looking around for solutions, I noticed I wasn't the only one.
I found a simple way that fixed everything:
wensing said:
I am currently on Itje's ROM 5.04 and have been getting the "Messages cannot be downloaded..." very often. And the next try to download emails succeeds... or not...
But after changing the following two reg-keys to 7 (and a restart) I didn't receive the message anymore:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\TcpMaxDataRetransmissions
Can you check what values you currently have?
Maybe changing these values will do the trick also for you.

Hope this might be useful to someone and a little easier to find. (took me 3 days to find)
Thank you so much wensing!!!!

MMS problem, low resolution

I got a problem with my mms. When I send, or receive, the mms ends up at only a few kb. Is it some settings or something that needs to be changed? Weird thing is that its like 46 kb when I send the picture, but when its received, its only 6kb.
Sending between 2 HTC Leo.
Got to mention that sending between HTC Leo and Samsung Omnia HD worked great.
Ive tried changing reolution to 1280x1024 in mms properties.
EDIT: I use the 1.66 stock rom norwegian.

Already asked already answered here

I recommend CeRegistryEditor for making registry changes through the PC, allows copy and pasting.

Thanks m8. Couldnt find it by searching. Will try that =)
EDIT: Tried it. I dont think thats the problem. Mine says HTC HD2 T8585 already.

Hmm, are both settings correct?
UAProfile=http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_HD2_T8585-1.0.xml
and
UserAgent=HTC_HD2_T8585

Yes, they are. Ill check the other HTC Leo as well, just in case one of them got this problem.

Also, worth a look in the registry here
HK Local Machine\Software\Jataayu\MMS\
and in the profile key there is a reference to defaultsendsize - currently set to 300 in mine. a little googling brings up chefs here on xda changing that to 1024. Could be worth a play.

Tried that as well =)

Heh well in that case the last thing i can think of is
messaging tab - all messages - menu - settings - options - scroll right to the bottom - photo resolution. Though i suspect that will be already set to 'original'.
Could be the network provider is reducing it themselves? Is that possible or legal?

Tried that as well. Im gonna check the other phone. Check if theres something wrong with the registry input there. I dont have that phone here right now, and my gf isnt answering my calls =P

Mate - would you post back and let us know how you get on? I've got the exact same problem and would like it sorted.

Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629061
I use Resco Explorer (http://www.resco.net/downloads/pocketpc/explorer/en/rescoexploreren_aio.arm.cab) Registry editor to edit registry.
I dont have anything new before friday when I come home. Its my gfs phone, and she wanted me to fix it. Ill update the thread when I know more. If she doesnt have the bug either, then I dont know whats the problem.

Checked my gfs phone now. She got the right settings as well...
Any others thoughts why the pics are 6 kb? =P

Hey. I've been playing with this problem tonight, (just for kicks, it works fine for me)
Anyway, i came across these two keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\USER
IncomingMessageSize
and
OutgoingMessageSize
both set to 307200 (300kb)
I tried changing them, thinking maybe yours were wrong, but they reset themselves to 300kb. So did a search on '307200' and found another set of mms registry keys you might want to have a look at on your devices.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCSetting\SampleMMSC
Now i know it says 'sample' in the keys, but it has all the settings for my o2 mms server in there, gateway ports and the like, along with various sending size limits and such.
Gotta be worth a look, eh?

I don't know if you fixed it but i had the same problem and i did this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\USER
increase both your incoming message size and outgoing message size
that should do it
i just searched for 300 and looked around
