I've got the Kaiser with Dutty's windows 6.1 rom and somehow it froze on the startup, so I saw myself to hardreset although I knew, that I had some quite important notes and contacts which are unfortunately not in my backup.
Is there any possibility to recover files on my Kaiser?
Thanks folks
Where exactly did the device freeze? A lot of the time a soft reset will fix these problems.
If the only place the files were saved was on the device memory, and you preformed a hard reset, the files are gone.
Sorry for your loss

When I clicked on the Remove Programs icon, the Programs in storage memory was blank. No programs were listed. However, all the programs on the tilt work.
The other odd thing is that cant install anything now. I tried to install a cab and I received the "programs was unsucessfully installed". The last program I installed before I noticed this issue was resco. Any ideas, I dont want to try a hard reset. Thanks.
I am also having activesync issues.
No Ideas?
Is there a reg hack anyone can think of? My bigest issue is not being able to uninstall/install anything!
Please specify more on the active sync issues? You might have to do a hard reset, or else this problem will stay. And are you talking about the ROM built apps or apps you installed your self?

I have had the same problem twice already.
The first time I did a hard reset and started from scratch, the second time (this week) I just restored a backup I made with sprite backup and everything was working again
Just make sure the backup, (you do have one don't you) was made when the remove programs still showed the programs that were installed.
active sync issue
when I connect the tilt to my laptop active sync on the computer sees the tilt but I cant sync. I can explore the tilt. When they connect the computer says close to the following, "Sync cannot be completed sucessfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists see active sync help." I click ok and a new profile is create each time.
Now for what active sync says on the tilt. It says, "To synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC.
IF you company supports syncing directly with its Exchage Server you can set up your device to sync to it.
Learn more about synchronizing with a server."
The Sync button is greyed out as is options.
O ya, I did do several sprite restores from as far back as one month, (I do a backup at least twice a week) and still the same issue.
Any ideas?

Your registry is corrupted and the solution is a hard reset and then reinstall of your add on programs.
I've seen this several times on the Wizards. I've also seen the same problem in Win 2000 and Win XP.
If my reg was currupt, couldnt a restore fix it? I have tried that to no avail.
ive had this issue before, Just delete the partnership and create a new one/ restart computer(had too for my case, maybe it will help yours).

The problem is more then likely that your backups all have the same problem in them.
The only solution I could find is to do a hard reset (clear Storage) reinstall all apps etc, make a backup and keep it in a safe place then make another backup whenever something is added or removed, just make sure that all programs show in the remove programs screen before you make the backup, otherwise a restore will not help.
Another observation I have made is that each time it's happened to me I've either dropped or banged the PDA.
Thanks all for your help. Say if I do a hard reset and then do a restore from a backup, will I have to Reinstall all the software? The reason I ask is that I bought this phone used on ebay and it came with all the software loaded. There are a lot of programs and I cant find the installation programs on the phone of sd card.

You will need to reinstall all of the software first, and then do a restore.
BUT as I have said, if the backup is the same as the PDA ie: no programs listed under uninstall it won't help, you will need to reinstall everything again.

Moved this question to a new thread. Still need help with this issue! Thanks
Specifically what is the current problem?
When I clicked on the Remove Programs icon, the Programs in storage memory was blank. No programs were listed. However, all the programs on the tilt work.

i hjave the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!
Very strange - I have the same issue and it just started today. Installed software won't run and I can't install any cabs. Just says it was unsuccessful.
Anyone?
try downloading pocket mechanics, it shows all programs installed and a clean up tool and see if it shows it there, u can delete them through ur program files....see if that works lettme kno how it goes
Tried soft resetting a few times - nothing. Backed up device to my storage card using Sprite Backup and did a hard reset.
Before restoring I tried to install a cab - worked.
Restoring device now from backup....
After restoration installation of cabs - Unsuccessful. Must be sometime in the registry/system?
My question - what did we do in common to get this problem?
Today I swapped SIM cards with another AT&T phone and then put the original one back. I also ran the JumpSPL1.56KAIS on the device but reset at the tri-color screen due to a lack of time.
It is very frusterating as I dont know what to do. Any since I cant load any programs like pocket mechanics I dont know what else to do. Backups didnt help and I know the ones I had a month back showed the programs listed in the Remove Programs tool. THERE MUST BE A REG HACK THAT WILL FIX THIS! Anyone?
The last programs I installed before this happned was the Resco explorer.
Also I have a activesync issue that started about the same time which I have in another post.
I ended up hard resetting it again and am just re-installing everything.
I am trying to free up memory on my Tilt. I have uninstalled all unwanted apps and decided to go directly to my Windows folder to delete unwanted files. I found different cab files and Windows Media files that appear to have been from the original ROM. However, the delete option is disabled for these files. Is there a good utility I can use to delete these files, without having to flash my device with a different ROM.
Thanks in advance
Nope. Those files are in the ROM and you can't remove them from the phone.
Technically you can if you know how to cook your own ROM
Soft reset after Hard reset
Thanks. I have read the trick on how to soft reset the device after hard reset and before the "provider" apps are installed. This worked great for me prior to WM 6.1, but it did not work with the latest 6.1 update. Is there a trick to getting it to work on 6.1, or is that no longer a valid way to get rid of those applications?

It still works -- you have to be quick. Have the pen in the reset hole and do it the instant after you tap the screen to continue
Yes, probably topic #1000 about this. But PLEASE keep reading.
I got the famous WM6 bug/error/whatever.
Symptoms:
- Access is denied error message when trying to copy files to the phone using ActiveSync.
- Access is denied error message when trying to delete any files or copy files between folders and/or the storage card on the phone.
- You do not have permission to download that type of file in Internet Explorer when trying to download any files.
- No programs show up in Remove Programs.
- Installation Unsuccessful error messages when trying to install any applications.
- ActiveSync will fail with an error message that you should start the troubleshooter.
It might have something to do with F-Secure I installed, and tried to uninstall (which ofcourse is impossible, since no programs show up in my installed programs/delete programs list). However, tons of ppl have had the same problem before so it has probably have nothing to do with F-Secure.
Now about the famous fix (which can be found for example here).
It's not working for me. Yes I tried this fix like 10 times, exactly like its written, sometimes a bit different, not using bold but Italic etc etc. I find #12 an inconsitency for example, since shutting it down and THEN doing a soft reset doesnt make any sense to me. Anyway I did like it said, and I still have all the problems I've had before.
My question: is there anyone that has had this bug before and DID fix it, or is there anyone that knows how to fix it after all? Or, last but not least, is there someone willing to rewrite the fix in uber noobish language, step by step, that might help me fix this. I'm quite desperate and totally not looking forward to hard reset my device. Thnx in advance
Some device information:
ROM Version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
ROM Datum: 07/10/08

Dutch provider Hi
No new roms installed, flashed stuff nothing. Just tweaks and programs installed.
I'm wondering if I should leave it like it is now and be patient for replys, or move/recreate this topic somewhere more "windows mobile"-like, since it might have something to do with the OS itself, and not just my kind of mobilephone ...
Sorry to hear your problem. I'd came across the problem once and YES the fix doesn't cure all the problem.
Luckily i've backup my PDA using sprite before the problem starts. What i did: 1) Hard reset the device. It will CLEAR ALL the memory and restore to factory default.
2) Reapply my first backup. (if you have it, if not, just reinstall everything). Remember though your backup in activesync might not be sync again! - that what happen to me. Luckily i have a copy in my Hermes.
3) My PDA is back to normal!
4) Careful when you modding your PDA. Just don't get mad to those that tries to help, some might not work on your device depends on what ROM you're/they're using. If anything goes wrong, just accept the fact that its your fault and -ALWAYS- have a backup ready. Just Hard Reset.
And I'm sure you're familiar with the lack-of-a-backup-till-I-need-it thingy ... I'll go mayhem on MSWM if I'm losing my photos and texts ... Contacts I can copy or just rewrite, but damn, my photos :s Thnx for the reply tho.
If you keep it synced with your computer/outlook, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Ever since my first WM device, I've kept a list of all changed settings, etc. A hard reset isn't really that big of a deal. You do it, reinstall a few apps you had, change some settings from the cheat sheet you keep, sync with outlook, and you're good to go.
Think of your Diamond as a slave device to your regular PC. Sure, you apply a few tweaks to it, but other than that all your data should be on your PC.
Yeah and foto's and text messages and contacts ?? All gone, hard reset not that much of a deal I find it quite frustrating =(
