Hi. I tried to flash my kaiser to new Dutty's wm 6.1 rom (had Dutty's v3 before so i had hardSPL) and after the rom update process completed my kaiser died , screen is always black no matter i connect it to charger or push power, is there any possibility to bring my phone back 2 life?
Have you taken the battery out?
Have you tried flashing from SD card?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158&highlight=flash+from+card
Worked for mine when i bricked it.
i have taken battery out , it wont help. also flashing from sd card works only when u can actually power on the device and i cant do it. name of my rom wasnt RUU_signed.nbh it was : Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19716_1.64.08.21.nbh maybe thats the reason of error
Well did you try the special key sequence to try to turn it on?
special key sequence? U mean both softkeys and stylus into reset hole?
Can you get it to the HSPL screen?
hold camera button and stylus into reset hole?
If you can to there you can reflash it using the sc card method.
3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)

not the soft keys
thanx but it wont work, if i could enter bootloader i would just reflash the rom, but i cant get my phone on, screen is all the time black. if i plug in a charger there is no charging led too.
Ok, so your saying you tried it and it doesn't work?
im saying this doesnt work because my phone is totally dead. i cant get any response, it just wont turn on.
ok I'm taking it that you didn't try that sequence because you won't say that you tried it.
Hell no he/she ain't tried it. Probably has no idea what you are telling him to do.
Well Belizibub told him, I just started reading between the lines and noticed that he never admitted to trying it.
I love your avatar Tater.
can't all read, he can't turn it on, so how is he suppose to enter the bootloader or flash it from the sd card.
how come i try to enter bootloader , the phone is D E A D, it doesnt respond on any key cominations. i cant see even blank screen, nothing, it just wont turn on.
take the battery out and plug it into the charger, if a red light comes on thats a good thing if not then you probably have whats known as a "bricked kaiser" and sent it in for repairs or go buy a new one and save that one for parts.

LOL, not even worth it.
So let me ask this, Why was this thread started? Was someone seeking help? Has someone provided the possibility of help? Do you think that the devils friend didn't understand that to this requester of help, that his phone appeared to be dead? Or is it possible the Devils right hand man knows something that the requester of help doesn't know and kindly attempted to share it with him, just to have the secret unlock code ignored.
Try up up down down left right left right a b select start.
That will fix your phone.
ps, what I'm getting at is if you haven't tried it then you need to try it. The special key config could possibly turn the phone on for you.
OK, now I see this same conversation going on in 2 different forums by the same person. Here and in Dutty's latest 6.1 release.
I noticed you are an Orange user. I have seen Multiple Orange users trying to flash radios to their phone and locking them up. I suggest looking/searching for one of those threads and see if they have a solution.

Hi all,
Hope you can help and thanks in advance,
trying to flash my rom and have now killed my second one
first time only read then instruction quckley and done it all wrong and the phone died. sent it back and go another one, tryed again and same problem.
this time i tryed to install hardspl but kept getting a white screen so look up how to get around that and got jumpspl on and then hardspl. all going fine so far, then i removed the simlock all went fine. then i installed nukespl-2.47 that started off fine then froze i left it a while to see if it would carry on, i soft reset it and that where it all went wrong and now i remember that was the same program i was using last time. now all my phone does is show a green light after i remove the battrie and power on, nothing on the screen and no lights on the keypad. i hope some one can help dont think i will get another one lol.

I'm sorry, but what is nukespl?
Sorry but I don't think you should try this anymore.....leave the phone as is....

if this was your phone would you quit that easily?
Well, if you can still get into bootloader mode your fine. I'd reflash to the original htc rom and use a different spl, something safe like hard spl ver.1.1, never heard of anyone using nuke spl
Yes, confirm if you can get into bootloader by holding down the camera button while pushing the stylus in the reset hole. If done correctly, you should be at a tri-colored screen. Now, just flash back the original ROM and you should be set
What is NukeSPL? Never heard of it. It sounds bad. I never remember running a NukeSPL to HardSPL my Kaiser.
Never seen a Nukespl anywhere, and apparently Google either. Where did you get that from?
I don't even know the definition of "brick". Everyone (not everyone but most people) say they bricked their phone when they are simply stuck in bootloader. l
In my eyes a bricked device is one that doesn't turn on because you fried the board, resistors, capacitors, or whatever within...
sorry nuespl not nuke from this site.and no cant get into bootloder or anything just a green led on top of phone.
Just to confirm, you have a blank screen upon booting with a green light, that means it's still "alive". Getting into bootloader mode is done by holding the camera button and the power button then clicking the soft reset button on the bottom of the device, that should give you a tri colored sceen, from there, plug in the usb to your laptop or desktop and flash the official htc rom...and Never use Nuke spl Ever again, sounds like a poorly coded spl or even malware

You need to quickly learn that something meant for the TITAN will brick your KAISER!! If you look the thread is for Titan ppc so if you ran that on a Kaiser it will and did brick the phone.
Only use stuff that is developed for your particular PPC. You need to do much more reading before doing anything that can damaged your hardware.
umm from the site you showed it seems that it was meant for the Titan.. at least thats what i got from looking at the pictures and posts..
arr i have the tytn 2 thought they were the same phone. how dumb of me, so its total dead then. will have to do more reading then and wait for the 3rd phone to turn up. 3rd time lucky lol.
I had a similar experience with my Kaiser a week ago and thought it was dead, just keep trying to get it into tri colored bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons then holding the soft reset button, it didn't work for me the first or even tenth time before it shut down, but once I got it into bootloader and reflashed, It's alive
will try that got till monday before i can send it back.
I just want to remind people that Camera button should be fully depressed. It have two stages of pressed, Half-Press and Full-Press
Hey Folks,
well I've experienced a very bad problem. When I started to change my ROM again, my whole device hang up, nothing happened any more. No chance to do a Hard or Soft Reset, the Led-Ring does not even light up anymore when I plug in the USB. Neither via Notebook nore via outlet. I don't know whatelse to do, hopefully it's not dead...
Thx for all the answers and sry for my bad english...^^
can you enter in bootloader mode? if you can, it's everything ok.
Remove the battery for 30 seconds then replace it and see if it will then respond to any of the following... on switch/usb cable/bootloader mode/hard reset.
Well... the Diamond doesn't respond to anything... It isn't even recognised by Windows...
phr3n1c can you enter in bootloader mode with it? pressing volume down (on the left side) and reset in the same time, and keep holding untill 3 colour screen appears.
Nothing happens... OMG i could start crying...
WTF! If don't enter even in bootloader, I only can say that its totally bricked. Sorry
How could this happen? I just tried to install juices RoM, then it said that this isn't the right ROM for my Device, turned off the screen and.... nothing...
So there's no way for me to get this Diamond working again... I just got it for 3 weeks... 469€... mmh...
Keep trying to get bootloader mode...its very fiddely....
also try and charge your battery...was it at full charge before?

Don't give up hope just yet, I've seen a few people on here that thought they bricked their Diamond but a few of the major contributors of the forum were able to work them out of it. Not saying it's a guarantee of course, but definitely a possibility.
2nd what the guy above me said, just hold volume down and the power button and try to get to bootloader mode... You should really be able to get to this, and once you can you'll be all set.
So the best thing for me is to leave this Thread here and wait for some answers I can try out...
Well... I use to read in this board since February and I always found all the answers to my questions...
This is the fact y this is my first post as well^^...
so i think i'll leave my xda alone 4 a while...^^ thx for all answers, upcoming and read...
mmh.. so there's nobody who's got any idea... thought more people could help me... mmh...

That is NOT the way to get into bootloader mode, if you have been trying that then there is no way you will enter the tri-coloured screen,
You need to press the power button as well as the volume down button along with the reset button to get into bootloader mode.
1) Take of the back cover of your diamond
2) Take out the stylus, notice a red dot in the bottom left corner? thats the reset button
3) Get your stylus ready to press the red reset button, but don't press it yet
4) Press and hold the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button, as well as holding down and pressing the reset button
5) After 3 seconds, let go of the red reset button but KEEP holding down and pressing the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons
6) Once the tri-coloured screen (bootloader) comes up, you can let go of the buttons.
That is how to get into bootloader mode, in depth. If that is not working that you have damaged your device quite a fair bit.
Remember if you didn't try pressing the power button to get into bootloader mode before, then there would have been no way you could have gotten into bootloader - try this method now and you might (hopefully) be flashing a new ROM in a matter of minutes.
Good Luck!
what can i say..? nothing happens... don't know whatelse to do now... but... can the ROM really damage the diamond that far that it doesn't even light the LED ring under the screen if i plug it into the USB...
damned... whatelse to do now...? sell it on ebay?

Another reason why I stay away from eBay.
Did unplug the usb cable, then pull out the battery ?
Hhmm.. I wouldn't have thought a ROM could cause so much damage.
You could try this..
1) Leave the battery out for 30 minutes
2) Put it back in along with the charger
3) Try to turn on the device (hold the power button down for 15 seconds)
Selling the device on eBay should be your last resort. Try everything you can to get the device working for now.

DO YOU FLASHED HARDSPL FIRST ? AND DOES YOUR DIAMOND IS UNDER GUARANTEE ? IF NOT, YOU CAN THROW AWAY.
Hold Volume down, the Enter Button and then press Reset... Hold the Volume down and the Enter button until the three colour screen appears... Try it....
Look here:
http://blog.jannewap.ws/2008/07/25/htc-diamond-reset-xda-diamond-hard-reset-anleitung/
yes, i flashed hardspl first... i dont know if it is still under guarantee if i bricked... doesn't another rom make your guarantee end? so nothing else to do...
PS: if i would have sold it on ebay, i had declared it as broken... just by the way... not to have any people think wrong things about me...
Started experiencing a strange issue with my tilt today..
When I soft reset it loads the Today screen, and then attempts to search for the contact 'wszx' (these keys are located next to each other). After this I can navigate the phone just fine using the touch screen, but the only buttons that work are the directional and center buttons located on the front of the phone, and the arrow keys on the keyboard. I cannot type at all using the keyboard, and pressing any of the other buttons does nothing (except the directional/center/Power). I also cannot Hard reset because the two soft-keys do absolutely nothing. I've hard reset in the past but it no longer works.
So am I SOL? I think I've tried everything.. and now I have a custom rom, etc on the phone and I have no way of getting it back to factory rom without the ability to hard reset.
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a hardware issue or simply a bad flash. Have you attempted to reflash the rom? Which rom are you using?
Well...
It wasn't working again this morning, but suddenly - out of nowhere - began to work properly. I'm stumped. If I ever figure out the exact issue I'll be sure to post back.
Thanks
Greetings,
I have same problem on my tytn...
Sometimes it suddenly starts working fine, but shortly it breaks again.
I have tried hard-reseting while it was working, but didnt help.
I think the problem appeared after charging my phone with a motorola v3 charger, so maybe it damaged my phone with over-voltage or something...
Anyway, if someone can suggest something i would be very grateful!
Hi I have exactly the same symptoms with my HTC Tytn II...when you power it on it starts typing letters (in my case CEDF). If the recording button is active it will start recording too. This happened suddenly and I haven't used any other charging apart from the usb and wall socket charger supplied with it.
All buttons (except front center key) and keyboard do not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated very much. This phone is only 8 months old.
Hi,
my Kaiser with dutty's WM6.1WWE ROM did the same this morning Yes I disabled the button 6 and stopped the voice recordings but all the hardware keys but few in the center of the keyboard are not responding. So I cant make or receive calls without taking the stylus out and touching the screen soft buttons andd that's pin in the ... while I am driving. I am using this ROM for almost a year now and I am extremely hapy (up to now) with its performance. When it all happened there were no activities on the phone - I woke up from a SMS notification (Yes I did receive an SMS from my bank) followed by repeting Voice Recordings. Any help will be highly appresiated! Thanks in advance!
keyboard problem
I am experiencing a similar problem with my stock tilt my keyboard does work however none of the text appears on the screen. I have tried hard reset and everything else I could think of, short of a clear storage reload. I would appreciate any help or suggestions from some of you more experienced users.
Bisonwill
anyone ever figure this problem out? im having the same thing happen now.
Same here
I've had it for a couple of weeks now.
I'm running WM6.1 from HTC (rom ver.3.29.422.1 from 2009-01-12) so nothing fancy here.
I even ordered and replaced the D-Pad and I replaced the keyboard (just the sticky part though). I totaly dismantled the phone and didn't find any issues with the cables.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated
Join the club!
This is crazy. My problem is exactly the same. I re-romed to the latest phoenix and it did not change a thing.
Help!
help....
any body here found a solution for the keypad/keyboard yet??? i have the same problem as you guys... any idea, thanks so much...
i have the same problem And there is something else. My Kaiser wakes up every 2 minutes - it's killing the battery. It works only for 6 hours now
Help
bump!!!
No more people with this issue or any solutions?
Pls! Help
ive joined the gang!
I decided to flash my cooked rom ive been working on.
i hadnt changed much in the kitchen and i think the flash has went badly.
it starts booting windows and where it should state "calibrate screen" it goes white and hangs there, buttons seem to respond by lighting up when pressed.
Now when i try to get it into bootloader or even hard reset it just doesnt work.
it just restarts the phone.
before this happened the backspace key hasnt been working for ages.
anybody got any ideas??
(lucky for me i have a backup kaiser!)
I'm having the same problem. Automatic wakeup, applications starting automatically, can't use keyboard, have to to use screen to use phone etc. I've hardreset using the clear storage method, reflashed a couple of times, but nothing helped. So here I am joining the club
If it's not a hardware issue, then try to flash another radio, many of the custom ROMs here doesn't include a radio, so if it's caused by a wrong radio, flash a new ROM without a radio doesn't help.
Check the Sticky for 'how to' if not aware.
PS: Check here for something need to know..
The question is.... how do I flash the device if I cant get it to go to boot loader and the OS wont boot properly !?
I think its an official Brick!
the really odd thing I've discovered is sometimes the OS leaves the loading screen on, and when it does if I press the FN and folder key, I get explorer up but its not responding... I haven't tried inserting a memory card yet to see if I can access that.

Try this:
1. Take out the battery from the phone.
2. Take out SIM card and SD card.
3. Press in and hold the CAMERA button.
4. Plugin to your computer using the USB cable, while keep holding press in the CAMERA button.
See does it enter the BOOTLOADER mode.
Once entered the BOOTLOADER mode, you can flash a new radio or rom right from there, in your regular way of running KaiserCustomRUU.exe.(Since you already have a HardSPL flashed on, otherwise a HardSPL is needed to flash first.)
Good luck.
Edit: If the power button and the camera button is still working, you can use the regular way of entering BOOTLOADER mode, and flash from bootloader mode or flash from SD card.

To enter in bootloader mode:
Simply Switch off your phone. Press and hold camera button and also press and hold the power button..You can remove ur finger from power button when phone is switched on but keep holding camera button until u come to bootloader …Now attach the usb to ur computer and do the flashing you normally do.

Thx for your suggestion:
I tried removing battery as sim and sd were already removed due to previous attempts in fixing!
so:
i removed battery (did not put back in), plugged in while holding camera
got nothing, so held power button at same time, the green light came on, then went off, and came back on again. but no bootloader.
i tried same procedure with battery in, and all i get is the OS loading up, no bootloader no matter how long i hold the buttons.
is there any other alternative method to get into bootloader (possibly involving other button presses)?
or any other ideas.
Really want to fix this as it was my "experimental" phone for cooking roms with.
Thanks again.
Suspect you have some hardware issue with the camera button. Can you ever take a photo with it?
Edit: Did you read through every post onthis thread:
MTTY (How to fix a bad ROM flash!)
If you tried that and still no luck, you can post your questions there. There are masters will keep an eye on that thread. And generally they only have time to look into their 'subscribed' threads, chances are they will not look into here.
Edit: Maybe the procedure I told is wrong, since I call from memory, check this:
dwny said:
If you have a bad flash....that's no reason to worry.
I haven't had to use MTTY to recover.
In most cases, if there's no issues with the Rom itself...you can pop out the battery and re-flash the same ROM from BootLoader Mode. This will also work if for some reason your computer crashes or loses power & restart during the FLASH.
If the Rom has issues.....the flash will not complete and the device will be stuck in BootLoader Mode. At this point,you must FLASH a FACTORY ROM!!
Pop the battery off 1st, power up the device, device will power up in BootLoader Mode, connect to pc & FLASH your devices FACTORY ROM. This will restore your device back to it's original out the box settings.
The above only works if the device has been put through the Hard SPL or SuperCID process.
I personally have never tried to flash a cooked ROM without unlocking any of my devices. From what I've read what others have experienced...the flash would just fail and they're stuck in BootLoader Mode.
Myself ... I've experienced bad flashes, bad cooked roms that I've cooked, lost power to a pc & had my pc crash during a flash. Listed above is how I've recovered. There is life after Bootloader Mode.
The only time you have to worry is if your device does not power up at all
As a public chef...it's your responsibility to set the parameters of your ROM! Meaning, Radio, HardSPL, program conflicts, etc.
You are not ultimately responsible if someone bricks their phone but if they pushed the issue, you could be hit with some form of liabilty because you failed on providing a simple Disclaimer that sets the expectation.
I hope I've been helpful.....

Edit again:
And try like:
Plug in USB first, and thenn press & hold Camera, Power button etc.
I remember once I read there is a way to enter bootloader without battery, just can not find the original again.
I was following the guide for putting the button rom, and then the loki. all that went ok. The problem was I replaced the nbk file of the ipl/spl 3.08 file with the one from a radio download (radio 27111) and when it flashed now the phone doesn't recognize anything plugged into the usb port. Won't charge or nothing. no lights come on . I tried holding the camera and power button, and then pressiong the reset button, taking both hands off the buttons and then pressing power again and holding it to get in the bootloader multicolor screen, and it doesn't recognzie it either on my pc there. any suggestions?
it still loads the buttons flash rom and goes to the phone itself (old stock windows mobile) and pressing the start button takes like 15 secs to show the drop down start menu.
oh also it still says ipl 1.08 and spl 1.08 in the buttons splash pic....
although i was trying to put that 3.xx one
if anyone has:
tmobile RUU_Prodigy_1081002_108_10910_TMO_US.exe
please send me or give me a link. I tried googling but they all lead to the ftp server here (as we know has no files now on it). Someone said that worked for them. I tried another tmobile official one and it doesn't work. In boot loader (the multicolor screen) when i connect the usb the word usb shows, but the rom program on xp doesn't see it and I get an error 260 update error which says it can't connect to my phone.
Update: I tried the newest official tmobile software from their site and it does nothing. It does show the "usb" at the bottom in bootloader when I connect it, but the tmobile software (or anything) doesn't recognize it and gives a error 260.
When in windows (as it still goes) it shows the unknown battery thing and doesn't show how much battery life is there, along with being real slow. I didn't have a sim card in it ever while doing this but prob has no service either.
eh
50 views and im the only one with that problem ever? no one knows?
correction. it DOES charge.
same problem
hey, Ihave exactly the same problem, any luck finding a cure for this? would like to flash another rom but can't sync, do you know how to flash from SD card maybe that'll help us?

Hello,
Let`s start... maybe this will help you too guys... But first of all i want to know if your phone`s go in bootloader mode... ( just reset with the stylus and then hold just the camera button) and then it goes in the 3 color screen...
Let me know if you`ve got your phone`s in bootloader mode.... Replay as soon as posible... and... did you`ve tried another USB cable?
If you want to charge the phone, get the battery out, put it back, put the charger in, then hold the power button until it starts chargeing... 10-15 seconds max.
And if you get the phone in bootloader mode do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4104858&postcount=3

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help me out here. I just suffered the unfortunate fate of having the beta ROM expire on me. Now it looks as though I will need to reflash the X1 with a new ROM.
If I reflash the ROM is there anyway that I can save my pictures and videos from the internal phone memory or will they get erased by the flash? If they get erased by the flash, can I recover them after?
Is there anyway to bypass the white screen that states the beta has expired? I really need to get to the pictures.
Thanks,
T
I don't have much experience with this(I don't even see the point why your rom isn't timebomb fixed). But are you able to connect via activesync?
No, I can't connect via active sync. The only thing that I see when I connect the phone to the PC is the removable sd card.

What do you mean by "timebomb fixed"? Where do I find the timebomb fix?
no you cant recover it after flash.. if possible copy those files of yours to the sd card.. then flash.. frankly speaking i didnt know that there was a rom with a expiration.. really.. got me confuse there bud..
Hi ,
same case here. I had an energy ROM which does not have time bomb fixed and now all the internal data needs to be saved. i have also looked to many posts to seek solution and being a newbie was reluctant to ask around. if anybody has a solution pls post. this effects WM6.5 series ROMS.

i doubt you will get the images back i dont know what format is the phone is, if you flash over it or with a smaller rom, the sectors will be free for allocation, but if you manage to use data recovery program you might have a chance depending on the allocation size, they tell you to hard reset after flash so there is something left behind, but its interesting to know that in the tri color boot screen connects to the pc via usb so there is some communication there.
good luck
Did anyone ever figure this out?
This stupid ROM that has expired seems to prevent the bootloader from starting up somehow.
I tried holding the volume down button while pressing and holding the power button, but it always boots into the Energy ROM. Instead of immediately seeing the tricolor screen, I get the SE logo followed by the blasted HTC logo then the Energy ROM.....
I have tried doing a hard reset (stylus in the pin hole with the two silver buttons on the front pressed down) and no luck...it just boots up normally....
I really need to get my files off of the phone, but I cannot access it via Activesync (phone not visible), and the blasted screen on the phone is completely white with a stupid message. Man I am really p***** off./
If anyone here can help I would really appreciate it as I have some files that are very important that I desperately need to get off the phone...
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I'm sorry that I still have no clue how can you get your files...so sorry
About entering the bootloader, the main point is, did you continue holing the down volume button while you are holding the power button??
Hold volume button, press and hold power button (still keep holding the volume button), wait and you will see 3 color screen....
hope you can some how to connect to the computer...
Good luck....
I keep holding the volume down button while I press and hold the power button and it just boots up normally...
I have even trien a hard reset and it also just boots up normally...
wtf....
you can also use the camera button instead of the volume keys... camera+power... that's what i do
seems as tho everyone who has this problem with the volume keys are the only ones who use custom roms
HolyChristmas!!!! That worked...it was the only %^## combination of buttons that I did not try. Thanks a million spike.
Not when I have my X1 in boot loader mode and then connect to the PC, will I be able to access the files on it using Activ sync? Right now I see nothing.....

You can plug your USB in your X1 while in bootloader, so you can flash a new ROM, you can't back-up your files from there.
glad to here that ur problem i solved
The problem solved?....50% but not quite completely out of the woods yet.
Now that I can get to the bootloader, I need to fetch my personal files from the phone memory before flashing a new ROM onto it. So that is where I stand now.
I know that the phone is somehow communicating with the PC as I was able to re-run the HARD-SPL as a test and it worked. Now it is a matter of getting the phone to be seen by the PC so that I can get my data from it....the data is very important to me so I cannot afford to lose it.
AAny suggestions short of applying blunt force with a hammer will be appreciated...

your data is already gone if you already did a hard reset, so there is no way to get it back.
The phone can't communicate with your pc unless winmo is up and running and activesync service is running, so from within the bootloader, i think it isn't possible.
You could read around at the forum on how to make a dump of your rom, then all files on your phone will be "dumped" to the pc. But i don't know if you can do that through the bootloader. Good luck
EDIT: Ow, sorry, I didn't look to the last posts, i see you already found out that the camera button already works.
To get in bootloader, try the camera button and the power button instead of the vol. down button.
I know that the data is still there for the following reasons:
1. hard reset was not done
2. when phone boots up normally I do the the custom desktop background (which is a picture that I took with the camera) before it gets covered up by that white screen with the "beta expired" message.
3. I am able to communicate with the phone because when I was in bootloader mode, I ran the Hard-SPL.exe from my PC and the phone responded by loading the hard-spl.
I also thought of trying to dump the ROM, so that is one of the things that I will try soon.
Any other suggestions of how I can access my files in the phone memory?
Just took a look at the "how-to dump your ROM" guide and it does not look feasible considering I can't see the screen because of the white "beta expired" message. However, since I was running a custom ROM, perhaps the sdkcerts.cab was already pre-installed along with the registry settings...will try it anyway.
Any other ideas?
"
2) Preparing your phone:
Before your X1 will allow the dumping to be done, the following Sdkcerts.cab file must be installed.
- Copy Sdkcerts.cab to your phone or storage card and install it to the device.
Also, your phone must accept changes that pdocread makes. You can do this with the regedit function of the FdcSoft Taskmanager.
- Set the following registry keys to "1":
* HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies "00001001"
* HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies "0000101a"
- Connect your phone to your pc with activesync.

in the future, never save info on ur device that's valuable, im sure this is the reason why u have a sd card... i learn this the hard way on my p1i
just imagine you having info on ur device thats valuable and something else had happened, your goose would have been cooked... utilize the sd card as a safe storage way and always keep backups on an external storage... even myphone service from M$ gives this...
wish u luck in getting that info
I think that I definitely learned my lesson this time around...I am usually a bit more careful with my data....perhaps a moment of insanity lead me to this.
Back to trying to recoup the data....
