well i think this would be an odd topic with all the unlocking talk going around...but this is exactly what i want to know...
how do i lock my imate jam i mean how many locks could be put on the phone and the pda itself...powerfull locks so no one would be breaking those except for u guys xda-developers.com
is there a way to bootlock it like the one a PC has? you could just put a password for booting
and how does the sim lock work? i tried the option given in my phone which says "Require PIN when phone is used", but that is just for MY sim and it wont lock the whole thing. so basically what i want is a lock that would not allow any other sim to work in my phone.
thanks
hi...
simply...go to settings/personal tab/password,and lock it :wink:
it's too strong that it will prompt password after each soft reset,and if u put 0 minutes near "prompt if device unused for",will prompt password each time u turn on ur phone(after standby).....
it cannot be hacked....without....HARD RESET...
so i guess,ur looking for something stronger.. :wink: ,or u think it's enought???
RAGO :lol:
stronger one
well that is i think the weakest one i mean it just needs a hard reset im certainly looking for something stronger

Hi all,
Is there a way to disable or remove the radio (phone) software. (not switching to flight-mode, or there must be a way to keep it in flight-mode, so i can switch it on/off with a password or something)
My goal is that the Qtec2020 doesn't have any phone capabilities. is there a way?
or
Is there a way to completly disable GPRS / Data??
thx in advance
why get a gsm pda then ?
to disable grps you can just remove all the settings for it
when i exit flight mode i have to type in my sim card pin code just like when i softreset my device guess that depend on the sim and network
here everybody have it to make it impossible to use if people steal it
ok why buy a gsm pda
well we at our company sell software, and the customer will rent the qtec 2020, we don't want our customers to use them as phones.
that's the only reason why i want to disable radio/phone..
we have more that 30 on stock and we don't want to buy new ones
hope that someone can help me.
btw.
hopefully a solution in which we are able to restore everything to it's state in which the phone can be used again. in case our application is going to use gprs/data
you could also put a prepaied sim card in it without any money on
of cause they would still be able to put in their own sim then
otherwise you need a program which keep all phone activity from happening this dont really sound like a program which are out there because of lack of demand maybe you could get somebody to make it
but the program would have to be put in the extented rom to be sure it would still be there if the user hardresets the device
and then you cant really stop a person who knows how to edit the extented rom from removing the program
that is unless you would be willing to open and remove the gsm part of the device
but removing the gprs settings would require the user to know how to set them up again and which settings to put there
and judging from how many people ask about such things here the normal user would not know how to do that
Delete all links to Cprog.exe (Phone Dialer)
then I believe there is a Reg Key that will remove
Turn ON-OFF Flight mode..
You will also need to unmap Green Phone Button.
That's all i can help you!
can't find a reg key
is there no such thing as a dummie radio-stack???
upgrading the PDA with a dummie radio-stack??, or leave the radio-stack out of the upgrade process?? (enough pda's without gsm phone :wink: )

thx in advance

Well yes you could kill the radio stack by forcing error on upgrade I suppose.
Hi,
I can not recall my password; kinda silly but real...
I don't want to make a hard reset and loose my son's pictures at his graduation ceremony.
Any recommendation?
Youy should be able to hook the phone up to your cradle & then browse using activesync to transfer all your wanted files onto your PC before you hard reset. Even if you only manage to sync as a guest, not a peer, file browsing should still work from the PC
Thanks for your response..
When I get connected via cradle, I get a message like "this mobile device is password protected. In order to connect to the device, you must enter its password."
So, I can not browse.
I feel like I need to hack my own device..

There are only 4 digits.. maybe u can try all the combo.... :roll:
Earlier, it used to give a message telling it was the wrong password, when I enter directly from the device.
Now, it does not give any response, just waits.. I have soft reset device each time or reseat it to cradle to reactive ActiveSynch.
I wonder if it is blocked or not.. I might be trying hopelessly..
i'm facing the similar issue...
would a hard reset do the trick?
i think so.
you don't have nothing to loss.
same probelm
hey people,
i'm with the same problem i tried an alphanumeric password and now i cant get it right.. I tried to do the hard reset but i think i'm doing the soft reset. In the manual says to hold the power button and press reset. I did this millions times and stills asks for the device password!!
can anyone help me?
In case that this wont work is there anything i can do? developing it to the factory or something?
thx in advance..
Hey.... face the truth...
Hardreset it...
My Grandpa' told me long time ago....
"Isn't good to have all the eggs on the same basket"
Thanks Grandpa... i always record in two cameras, or imediatly synced my data for backup...
Oh yes... Skynight...
Does you have the original for BA manual? i mean maybe if you google a little or read the wiki pages can found how to perform a hardreset... or maybe i become a great guy and tell you where it is.... mmmm im hungry search please.
plz help me man..the manual says power and reset. i searched on forum and they said camera+power+reset would do it. when i do that way i only get a white screen with something written on it..I only had the pda for a couple of hours and it's my first pda, i'm kinda new in this "world".
can u tell me the right way to do it? In a electronic store it costs 50€ and i dont wanna pay that
thx
@skynight
You said you see white screen and something written on it? So what's written on it?
bootloader?

Ok here’s my question,
I would like to have my PHONE password to be prompt on booting,
and not the SimCard asking the pincode
but to secure my data (& phonebill)
i would like to know if its possible
like back in the days on my NOKIA :s (yah I know)
I could select the option, on phone swapping the simcard the phone would ask for the puk code
so the card wouldn’t b usable without pin on another phone
(id rather not lose my phone but u never know right?)
Is there a way?
thx a lot,
Kartboy
From what i remember (had a 3210 and a (oh yes baby) 7110) the option was for the phone to ask for a security code when a different sim was put in it yer?
There was a security setting which if set to the highest would promt for this code whenevr the phone was powered up aswell.
The sim code option is what i use at the moment on my TyTN as i have always locked my sim card, but afaik there isnt an option for when a different sim/usim card is inserted.
yah the 7110 was a funny one .. matrix style .. had 2 of em since my first on crashed on a wall on a bad night lol
yah those are the settings i mean,
u think that if i did that setting on the nokia b4 it will still remain on the sim?
No the sim card wouldnt retain that sort of info, when you setup sim lock it retains THAT setting but not phone specific ones, there isnt much security-wise as standard in WM5-6. Perhaps look for a 3rd party solution to this??? Or if you are feeling adventurous develop your own!? (in the xda-devs spirit!)

Hell yes the 7110 was a GREAT phone
I was considering this option,
since i got some clients who prefer using blackberry (i dun get why)
with the reason that,
if u fail 5times ur code @ boot the device getz erased,
which is pretty good for privacy i think,
i mean if i lose my phone
i can lock my sim with the provider easily but u dun need to activate the sim to b able to check all the info on the phone, which scarez me more
ow by the way the radio 38 any good?
installing it now

Seems ok yer, My 3G and GSM are both still very good (most improvment was from 1.27, the radios since have all been very good). My main reason for upgrading to 1.38.00.10 was that the GPS chip is a dead end, so i figured having a radio that isnt capable of turning it on will remove that headache if it goes wrong, and also my previous radio (1.35.00.11) was a trinity radio and the new one is a hermes radio, better all round
lol I am a retard,
clicked the wrong filename.. installed the 35.00.11 instead of the 38.00.11
will keep the forum updated bout it...
thx man
Hi,
I have an HTC Blueangel that my brother set a PIN lock to, now he cant remember it. I had previously reflshed it to WinMobile 6.0. I have tried reflashing but the user area must be seperate or something but that did not clear it, and the PIN prompt is always there.Any idea any one?
Thanks in advance.
dude, if u r referring to the PIN Code Lock problem, then seek help from your network service provider. Coz the PIN Code is only applied to your sim card. No fault in the handset
just contact your network provider to retrieve it back
hi giuys like the header says i would like to sim lock my phone... what i mean is that i want my phone to work only with my sim... i've tried to search on the forum for it but with no results... can you help me???
thanks in advance
hi. first of all, if your phone is sim locked, it not gonna work only with your sim but with every sim card of your network ( vodafone in your case); secondly i've never heard about something or somehow to sim-lock again a phone!!! ask Olinex, may be he knows!!! good luck
i didn't mean the general sim-lock like the branded phones have i mean maybe a lite app that runs when you start the phone and blocks you from using the phone if there is no sim or it isn'tt the sim you've previously registered...
aahhh okayyyy, you mean something like the nokia's phone locking if the sim is changed! i've understood now! i was looking for it me too but i've never found a bit! we'll stay in touch, if i find something intresting i'll tell you ciao

I got what you need but it is shareware [you have to pay for it].
It is for Wm 5 but i think that it will support higher too.
Did you search on google?
Here is the link: [click].
I searched for the "cra**ed" version but all links are dead or fake.
hi thanks for the reply guys
if you can use password protection why bother such thing!!!
okay, password may be broken by software, but same thing for any kind of security also.
anyway, a program can be written such as:
small memory residence program which will check the sim nr. in every few min.
if not matched, will enter into Airport Mode + screen lock
keep checking every few min.
if it matched the nr. stored before (encrypted) will unlock airport mode+screen
or the program will only trigger at the stratup or sim change
