My brothers Universal (i-mate jasjar) was hijacked from him a while ago...
And he asked me if the hijackers can see his personal information after it has been locked?
I told him I have no idea...
does the device boot normaly and just the phone doesn't work?
or does it not allow you to access the phone at all?
Quite an interresting thread.. I have allways been wondering the same thing !
all u gotta do is use one of the free avaiable tools to change the imei and that person can see what ever is on the phone as long as they dont reset it.
An IMEI lock will just stop the phone part from working. It won't do anything to the PDA side of the device.

So there is nothing you can do (without having software pre-installed) that will make it difficult to access the device's content?
thats why people put passwords on their devices
if there is password on it they cant access the info
they cant get any info on it unless they hardreset and delete the chipondisk
in which case there is no info to get

Here is something that might be remotely interesting for the future:
WM 5 devices have a built in remote hard reset option. Unfortunately to use it you need to:
a) Have built in push mail turned on
b) Have administrative privileges on the server your device connects to.
I never actually tested this my self, but M$ has a very funny clip about this on theire site somewhere.

I didnt modify my registry, cause I thought it will give errors, but the rom will still be working. I was going to clean up non existing keys with sktools.
I've packed my rom back, everything went ok.
I've uploaded rom to my eten m700 via usb. Again everything was ok.
Then I've made a hard reset (after the installation) and the device booted (the screen was orange). But nothing happened after. The device froze.
_______
Could it happen becouse I didn't remove 'today plugins' in a registry?
Or some programms are hardcoded to wince, so u just cant boot without them?
-------
Oh yes, ActiveSync doesn't see my device. I've heard it is possible to start usb sync from the knight mode. How do I do it?
press the camera button and screen off button together. reset the cellphone while still holding the two buttons. it will go to dark mode
Thx for the tip.
In test mode, I've found out that my Os image checksum is smaller. So I'd probably add irda dll back. I'll also remove all today plugins in registry settings to make sure the os can boot properly.
------
Here comes the question!
I enter the bootloader mode on my device. It says USB host is connected. Waiting a download.
But my activesync doesn't see the device... And when I start upgrading the device here what comes out:
Can't connect to the device. Please make sure ActiveSync is working normally.
How do I fight this? I don't have a sd card yet...
[Solved]
Yes, there is a trick! Thx to Юрка, from 4pda.
U just need to plug any other communicator (wince) to the cord, start the updater. When it comes to the download (black pic apears to the left, saying smth about download)
-put your nonworking device in a bootloader mode (hold down turn on/off button + recorder button and push restart, then release power button, but still keep holding the recorder button)
-unplug ur other device from the cable
-plugin the eten nonworking device
click upload and after everything went well - ENJOY!
Hi to all! I installed a new cooked great rom to my trinity a month ago and it worked fine. it is this rom
[ROM][ITA]WM 6.1 Elegance edition 2.14 (OS 5.2.19213 Build 19213.1.0.0)[ONLINE]
today I got a strange error and the phone was stuck. I unplugged the battery and when I started again it was stuck on the calibration screen. if I tap on the screen nothing happens but the backlight turns on if it was off so it still catches the taps. I connected the phone via usb to delete from the autostart menu the link to the configuration screen (welcome.exe) but the phone is not deteced by activesync so no way to browse folders on my device or use a program like SOTI to control the ppc. I want to bring it back to life as I know that my files hasn't been deleted. in fact if I press the right soft button I get a menu of a program I put in the ppc and it's not included in the elegance rom so I'm sure my files and my configuration and everything are still there.
if i get a phone call the phone rings (with the default ringtone anyway, but the name of the caller is displayed correctly, that's why I'm sure my device still has all my contacts and more)
what could I do?
is there a way to edit files from bootloader? does mtty work for this? (I have no idea how to use mtty so I might be wrong) could I make a full dump, edit the startup folder and reflash the phone with all my data?
I tried to use mortscript witht the autorun feature to read a part of the register regarding the welcome file and deleting it's link in the startup folder but the sd card driver is not loaded I think as the files are not launched, while in another phone the same script works fine.
thanks in advance to all who will have time and will to help me
pcwizzul
as far as i know (not that much), reading files from bootloader is pretty impossible.
You can always just reflash. If the touchscreen problem persists, it's possible that the problem is hardware related.
Your computer should detect your device when in bootloader, and failing that, you should be able to SD flash (assuming you're HardSPL'd or equivalent, thats just what we have in the herald forum)
Thanks for your help
I'm quite sure the hardware is fine as all my problems started after a crash of the OS.
Anyone has an idea to get access to my ppc?

if the sdcarddriver is not loaded then the following will not work but give it a try anyways. make a text file "whatever.txt" no quotes then rename it to "welcome.not" no quotes then put it in the root of your storage card and it should skip the whole startup process. that is if it loads the sd card driver or you might want to think about flashing another rom
I already tried the "welcome.not" trick but got no results. I'm afraid that the sd card driver is not loaded then.
Thanks for the hint irus anyway!
Really there's no way to read files from bootloader or something similar?
not that i know of
but the fact that your issue was noticed during a rom flash
dont mean it's not hardware related
much like a heart attack which happens during a thunderstorm
dont need be related to the thunderstorm
Wait! The error never happened during a flash. I never said it. I had that rom on my trinity since a month and it worked like a charm. Then suddenly I got an error and the phone was stuck.
I have understood what you mean but at least I hope it's not a hardware failure!
Please some help. the keypad of HTC S620 with WM5 is locked. It won't unlock the screen. It blinks between the home screen and the screen "Please press * to unlock your phone" or something like this but the key pad is not responding. I tried to do a hard reset and is not working. It comunicates with WM Device center or my pc but can't do anythig with the phone. What can I do??? TKS

You tryed stock? not sure what operater you have since info not priovided?
Thought I would write a thread showing how to simply complete an unlock with Chevron WP7 and some common homebrew apps/tweaks for all platforms. The information is scattered and varied, but I will edit this post to be as useful as possible for beginners as a one stop source. Thanks to the following threads for info:

Unlocking with Chevron WP7
The first step to "sideloading" applications to your phone (applications not approved by Microsoft) is to developer unlock your device.
Downloads needed:
Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools (annoyingly large, but necessary)
Chevron WP7 Application, Chevron Security Certificate, Chevron Registry Entry
TCPView for Windows (don't neglect this, it saves a lot of time and is a useful utility!)
Steps for unlocking:
Install Windows Phone 7 Developer tools. This will require a reboot at the end.
Email the "ChevronWP7.cer" file to your Windows Phone 7 device.
Open the email, tap on the attachment to download it. The icon will turn into a shield, tap again to get a new dialog. Press "Install" then OK.
Put your WP7 Phone into airplane mode (Settings>Airplane mode>Slide the toggle to ON)
Double click the ChevronWP7.reg file on your computer. A prompt will open up asking if you want to write this to your registry. Press Yes to continue, then OK at the end.
Open TCPView. (tcpview.exe inside of the downloaded archive) Click on the heading marked "Local Port" until the arrow next to it is pointing up.
Look on the Local Port column for any entries labeled "HTTPS". These programs MUST be closed for Chevron to work properly. Common culprits are Skype, and XAMPP. Use Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+Delete) to ensure they are closed if you run into issues.
Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable. Open the Zune software if it is not already open, and wait for it to finish syncing.
Open your Zune software and go to the Phone page, and make SURE you don't see anything that denotes that you are in a "Guest Sync" relationship with the device. It needs to be the primary computer the phone is synced with.
Unlock your phone and leave it at the home screen. Make sure the phone does not go to sleep after this.
Open ChevronWP7.exe. It should be running as administrator. Check both boxes, and press Unlock.
Cross your fingers, and you should be up and running on a developer unlocked device! (The Unlock button will change to Relock in Chevron if this is successful)
If you receive the error "Phone is locked with a PIN", it means your phone was locked when the fix was being applied. Make sure to unlock your phone (so you can see the live tiles) BEFORE pressing the unlock button.
If the program crashes, navigate to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\etc and right click the file named hosts and press properties. Uncheck read only and press OK, then try again.
Homebrew Applications
All homebrew applications are installed as follows:
Go to Start>Programs>Windows Phone Developer Tools> and run Application Deployment
Ensure the target is "Windows Phone 7 Device"
Browse to the .XAP that you are loading.
Connect your phone, wait for Zune sync to finish. Ensure it is not guest.
Unlock phone and keep it awake. Press "Deploy" and the application should load (not extremely fast, and will appear in your app list without a reboot when done)
If the above doesn't work, then try resetting your phone and retrying. Also, restart your computer if the problem persists.

HTC and LG offer utilities in their section of the marketplace for MMS/data, so just grab one of those! Samsung's utility is faulty by design to keep people from unlocking, thus the hack.
What does this mean? Is ig that samsung phones have trouble unlocking because I bought my wife a focus and I had the same error message. But I haven't tried the way posted here. So I will be trying this way and replying. Thanks!
pls help me with this: I have HTC Surround and can not sync with zune, it doesn´t start when connect the phone and if start manually it doesn´t connect and sync neither
thank you for this one. it works exactly it was described on the first page. samsung omnia 7 portugal bought phone. but using it in Turkey.
Win Phone 7 MMS settings XML
So I dont know if this helps, or if anyone a little more knowledgable than I can attack this with me but I have the XML and registry settings for MMS from my LG quantum. I have a focus and LG Quantum. My LG has the XML viewer and reg editor built right in, which I friggen love.
So I took pix of the whole xml file that should be enough info to change the profile to the right settings, with the reg keys.
At first glance here it looks like just changing a couple string values... of the key at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ShortMsg\MMS in the ADDR string value to your MMS server would be a start. I will look further into it after work tonight. If anyone beats me to it... so be it. Just thought I would toss this out there just in case it helps.

- Reclick on chevronWP7.....and miracle
Your WP7 is UNLOCKED ENJOY .
THks for :>>>>>>>>>>> wm.andrew.wilson
Hi, I'm new here.
So I followed each step thoroughly, and when I execute 'ChevronWP7' and check off each box and click 'unlock', the program says it has stopped working.
What could be the issue?
Also:
I have the phone on the main menu
I do have all necessary programs running
Samsung re-lock prevention hack doesn't work for me
After deploying the xap it seems to take, but, my Focus is always relocked after syncing. Not a huge deal to unlock before deploying, but, thought it was worth a mention...
Edit: Nevermind. Didn't realize they're was an app on the phone to run as well... Should have read the original thread first. Sorry...
