lost active sync

i am sorry if this has been asked before.
i have watching you guys on here for a while now.long story short, i got shafted on ebay. i bought a herm100, fantastic, then it got barred via imei.
i have tried everything but was scared to ask on here because, every time i see that someone does ask 4 help with this sort of thing he gets shot down by one of the senior members as a noob, or worse a thief.
anyway i have now managed to really screw my new toy up by editing something or other( cant remember what). and now i have no active sync.
i have tried to hard\soft reset but stop Nada.
please can somebody help this noob at least get it to work as a pda again,i don't care about using as a phone as i still have my spv c550.
again if this has already been asked i apologize to all those senior members who get upset about that sort of thing. but it is not that easy to find what u are looking for, when u don't know what to look for, among the 1000's of threads on here.

The easiest way to make it works as a PDA after you chaning something is HARD RESET.

May be stating the obvious, but did you follow these instructions for a 'hard reset'? It's different than a soft-reset...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
This reverts your device to it's original factory settings (unless of course you've flashed an updated or cooked ROM). To learn how to do that, go to the link above, then to the Hemes WIKI:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Scroll down and look through the sections "Hacks & Tweaks", "Upgrading and Cooking", and "Upgrading Problems:".
Good Luck

ty for your reply i have found the fault now it wasnt my pda it was my usb hub that has gone down. only noticed when i tried to make a call on voip and had no mike.
like i said on my original thread i have been watching this site for a couple of months now after paying htc 20gbp to unlock my c500.
i have managed to unlock all my phones myself since then with what i have found on here. and this has been my first post.
bty i have already upgraded my rom to pro black 3.0 radio1.41.
once again ty very much.
now i will wait and keep serching 4 a way to reset my imei

don't think you can reset yr imei as it is the manufacturer's way to identify your machine during assembling.
my advice, sell it off, to another country and get a new one.
chances are yr imei is only blocked with operators in your country.
cheers, Leo

i will find out next month going to thailand for holiday i will see then
in the mean time i am looking for a new mainboard. cause that will fix it 4 sure

cprog.exe at samsung i780...

I am really frustrated and wanted to see if anyone could help....
For my ROM, no matter which PDA or Phone version I used, I always have this "cprog.exe" error and I have to hard reset to start all over again. It happens even I have no external software installed. That means, a clean phone also has this horrible cprog.exe error. Yesterday I had to hard reset 5 times in a day....
May I know anyone here has the same problem, anyway it can be fixed? Thanks very much.

Looking at your details, my guess is that you may have a cooked rom, therefore it can either be a bad rom or a bad flash.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just flashed the i780DXHH1 for both pda and phone rom. Hope this is ok for me....

Let us know if you still encounter the problem.
Wish you luck.

Had this issue when I bought my 1st i780. Took it back to the service centre and they reflashed it but it didn't help. Apparently it is a chip that causes this error so if it is still happening bring it back to them to get the chip changed as I did. No more issues now. Hope this helps.

no wonder how many times, different version of rom I flashed, still get this cprog.exe nightmare! I hard reset 3 times today, and 3 more times to go to break my daily record.
flaw in chipset! sigh. I bought this in HK as parallel products (as they are not launching i780 in HK)....I dont have official support/service center....does anyone know how could I have this fixed? Does Samsung support worldwide warranty?
i780 suits all my needs, qwerty keyboard, good resolution, great sleeky look, but mine comes with cprog.exe curse....I dont want to switch to palm treo pro...but if samsung is not willing to take this back for chip replacement, I have no way out but treo pro, sigh!

HI, just registered here in seeking a solution to the same prob, the guys here said they will fix my phone if i can find out which chip needs the replacing.
Do you perhaps know?

Telephone automatic answer with 6.5 don't work

Hi all,
Since I installed wm 6.5 (Rom Officiel), the option to answer phone automatically doesn't work anymore .
i'm sorry of that, because i'm a biker and it's very useful.
A hard reset (as asked by the service support) did not change anything.
they ask me now to return the device which seems to be a hardware problem no ?
Are you involved of that problem? any idea to solve it without sending it?
Thanks and Best regards from France

Humm !
I'm surprised that this fonction doesn't interest more people; because after quick investigation, i'm not alone with that problem using wm 6.5 .
Is that happen only with the french version?

I have the same problem with diamond 2 and wm 6.5. Did you find any solution?

Same problem here. Updated using UK Vodafone upgrade and now Auto Pickup cannot be selected.
Can anyone help as this is a big problem. If you have to touch your phone to answer a call while you are driving and you get caught, you are in big trouble.

Could someone check their registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\AutoPickUp
and tell us exactly what is in there. Mine is empty and I think this might be part of the problem.
Thanks

I just checked and mine is blank too...on a US-model T-mobile TP2 with the stock 6.1 ROM. I've never used the function before though, so I can't really say whether it is/was available to me...I'm not even sure where the option to use that is
You guys might want to check out the app in THIS thread, it supposedly makes it easy to access the auto-answer, so it might (...or might not) serve as a work-around for you
EDIT: I just found the toggle for auto-answer in the phone settings...and even though I have that registry entry blank like the rest of you, I still have the option of chosing auto-answer in the phone settings.

Sorry if you did this but can you go back to the setting and make sure it stayed "ticked". What happens on mine is that I tick the box and it shows a tick but if you come out of setup then go back in the tick has gone.

Hey man, sorry about that, I just missed it when you asked that the first time
I just now double-checked, and yes, the tick mark does persist in the Automatic Pickup box in phone settings, even through a soft-reset.
But...even when the tick mark is there, no value appears in the registry entry you mentioned and...it still doesn't work I tried it with the auto-answer interval set at 0, 1, and 2 seconds, and it never answered my test calls.
So...6.1 doesn't work any better, 6.5 is just more honest with you by not letting the setting appear like it's working
p.s. feel free to PM me if you ever need feedback from me and haven't heard anything in a day or two...probably means it just got lost in the shuffle on my end.

A problem has occurred with services.exe!

Hi
I haven't found anyone else in TP2 forums report this problem I have on reboot, but can anyone help? After inputting my PIN, a screen comes up stating "We're Sorry... A problem has occurred with services.exe" and it asks if I want to send a report to Microsoft, but if I click either "send" or "don't send", it then appears to function normally.

I, too, have this problem, but hesitated to bring it up here because my assumption was that it must have something to do with a tweak I have done or some software I have installed (and then subsequently uninstalled?). As such, the parameters are too broad (I would have thought) to be able to determine why this is happening. Are you also working with an AT&T Tilt2, stock ROM?

I too have this problem, if it occurs overnight, my alarm will not go off, and it get stuck on the time that it happens until i click ok. kinda sucks

I had it - tech support (AT&T) exchanged the phone

I had it - tech support (AT&T) exchanged the phone
It was within the first thirty days

my 30 days is up

Also got it with my TP2. Dutch stock rom windows mobile 6.5
Also getting the error after a restart sometimes, or randomly in wimo 6.5. Never had it until my wimo ran out of power when playing a game... It shutted off on it's own. Now i randomly get that error so once in awhile. I even did a hard reset, but still getting it sometimes. But not always after restarting...
Bit strange... Don't notice anything not working though. Everything seems to be working fine... Is there a way to disable error reports in wimo?

I have stock HTC 6.5 ROM (WWE). It's not a major problem and only occurs if I reboot - luckily it does not happen randomly for me or when unlocking or switching the phone transmitter off and then on again.

Now, on reboots I'm also getting an error message about gwes.exe -- comes right after the one about services.exe.

I get it too. Stock Rom with plenty of apps and stuff added.

I started having this and other errors after installing Hou Ming's fexploreext205. I had just started to look for a replacement when I ran across this thread.

Darn, I don't have this app installed, but this line of investigation may yet yield results. I'm going to try to see if I can figure out the history of my installs (good luck!).

OK, I bit the proverbial bullet and did a hard reset. It's taken me a couple of days but I've got all the software re-installed (with a soft reset after each install! -- more or less) and so far so good: no service.exe (or any other) errors. Let's just hope there isn't some periodic thing that will trigger the error down the road.

I just downloaded and upgraded my Touch Pro2 now to the WM6.5 for GCC and Egypt. However, anytime i do a soft reset i get the following error message:
A problem has occurred with services.exe
And then the blah-blah about telling Microsoft about this problem.
This doesn't happen however if i shutdown and the restart the Touch Pro 2.
I have done a hard reboot and still i get this error. I have posted this on HTC support site. Let's see what they say.

Now appears cured!

For some reason I now don't get it. I have no idea why as I haven't been trying to solve it specifically and have not hard reset!
@azuka: Please let us know what HTC say.

i also have this problem..
using stock 6.5 WWE SEA rom
happened after installing some programs..
however doesn't seem to affect or give any problems after
clicking don't send or send ..
would love to know why this occurs tho..
thx

Same thing happened to me. I have the new leaked t-mobile 6.5.
I did the hard reset and it happened to me again after i installed a few programs so i decided to reflash the with the t-mobile rom again and thank God it hasn't happened since the morning. i have been installing the programs one by one with a soft reset right after every new install trying to recreate the problem but it hasn't happen..
i hope it stays that way.

I have the original HTC rom (ITALIAN) and I have this problem if i deactivate Manila and i activate Titanium interface. I think there is some program that try to "talk" with manila during boot.
Now I enabled Manila again and it works like a charm.. (But I miss Titanium interface.. )

HTC simply asked me to download the WM6.5 upgrade again and reinstall. This i did and surprisingly i have not received that error again. 3days+ now and still counting.

[Q] pattern lock reset help ~ I've not forgotten it, simply want to change it

Please help me? I am by no means a developer, just a wanna be nerd with a new phone. I'm looking for pattern lock reset help ~ I've not forgotten it, simply want to change it, and while it seems like something that would be simple and obvious, it is currently not presenting itself that way and I'm more than a little frustrated with myself (and it).
Meanwhile, the first two weeks the phone seemed just fine (apart from not playing with Planet anymore, though that seems worked out now, though I'm not at all certain). Now, I'm getting a lot of security issues cropping up that seem disturbing. Verizon tech support tells me that Kitkat 4.3 has known issues in this arena that they hope will be corrected in the next update. There is a constant message about my network traffic, email, etc may be monitored by an unknown third party and to check my security certificates. Did that ~ cleared them all, but that only helped for about 10 minutes. The phone insists that it cannot get a secure connection to Facebook, so I am too wary to do much of anything online with it. Seems to defeat the purpose of even having the phone. I'm seriously considering switching back to my last smartphone and turning this one off (I do not believe that I can return it).
I'm so sorry to ramble on so, but is it insane to ask if the M8 can be pushed back to an older version of Android?!?!?
Thank you so very much for ANY help at all.

Change pattern: settings, security, click on Screen lock and enter your current pattern. Click Screen Lock again to enter a new one, then repeat to confirm, and you're done.
For the second part I have no solution I'm afraid.

"He" is a she... and I am not looking to hack anything at all. I am simply too daft to change my own security pattern. As I stated clearly, I have not forgotten how to unlock my phone, I would simply like to change it, and while this should be a simple and obvious task, it appears to be eluding me at present... (though I am, somehow, adept enough to have already tried the obvious tactic of "googling" the question before annoying those I presumed more clever than myself.
To the first response, I thank you for your kindness and patience, I will attempt your suggestion straight away.

How can I trust CAcert's root certificate?
Remove "Network May Be Monitored by an Unknown Third Party" in Android 4.4 KitKat
Maybe/Hopefully it'll sort out your second problem in regards to the Trusted Credentials.
