Registry erased?

Ok, this has happened to me several times and i have never figured out why this has happened.
today i went to school and since we were having a test i turned my tilt off. after the test i turned my phone on. the tilt went through the normal boot (but i didnt see the att animation). then it went to the phone setup/align screen stuff, this is when i relized im screwed. after that i reset (to avoid the reinstall of the att software).
so the over all damage done is, my registry seems to have been competely erased. all my settings are lost, but as far as i can see all my files are there.
has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone have an idea what caused this? the only thing i could remember that is a cause of worry is that my main phone memory was down to about 2.3mb.
if its possible to get registry back please help, but really the only thing i want to know is how to prevent this after i hard reset and start to rebuild
:-(

are you using a fancy rom or a boring one?

Boring normal ATT rom, i have just seen to many problems with others....

maybe try the new updated one?

saying this probably doesn't help u much, but i had the same thing happen to me too, except i didn't turn it off or anything special. I just rebooted and lost the registry like you did. I don't think its your free memory though, i had over 40mb free when it happened to mine.

Nothing you can do except backup nightly so you can be prepared for next time.
If you're using the AT&T ROMs, Sprite Backup is installed by default.
Hope this helps!

Buy a MicroSD Card, they are relatively cheap, you can tell the backup program to only keep a certian number of back-ups (I keep 5). It also comes in handy if you want to try a new Rom.
You can also auto reset the device after the back-up it helps with stability.

Anybody has this sms not sign or encrypted problem?

No. If you sync it with your Outlook, or make a backup with Pim Backup (PPCP Pim Backup) which I think you can find easily on this forum or using Google, you can place it back after a hard reset.

ohh.... i see. only hard reset?! awww, seriously i dont know anything abt these tech stuffs and its such a pain in a ass to use this kind of touch phone. especially when u are new to it. anyway, if i sign my mobile with starhub mobile plan, then does it means that i have the warranty already?

Guess ur another 'lucky' one. I had the same problem few days ago. A hard reset was the only solution. It seems like a software issue. Maybe the template somehow cannot be loaded properly. That's why it's not working. But do back up ur data and stuff before you reset. It kills the stuff in the main memory but surprisingly all the stuff (including pics and stuff) in my Internal Storage remained intact.

Its caused by the CE-star, reinstall and register it will solve the problem..
donlt need to do hard reset.
I had that problem, solved it when i uninstalled CE-star

lost data after WM6 froze!!

Hi all,
I saved loads of information on my tytn II during the summer. Very important files (notes most often). I was stupid enough to let WM6 store this on the main folder instead of the micro SD card.
Earlier this evening, I tried to use the camera and the phone froze (classical...) so I pressed "reset". Except it never really restarted! I could just reach the WM6 picture on the screen and it would stay there for ages... until a white screen with black text made it clear that a program was running while i'd pressed reset (i really doubt it, i hadn't launched anything), and that i'll have to press reset to recover the initial configuration of the phone (OUCH). I pressed reset just once (too scared to do a hard reset, im not crazy enough yet) but it still does the same thing, gets locked on the WM6 screen but never shows the damned white screen with the terrible message.
Is there any (even very expensive) way to retrieve the data? I hope it's not lost... I don't give a damn if the phone is a brick, i just want the data!
Thanks for your help guys, im a newbie and im really starting to hate WM6.

hi again...
I used bootloader thinking it could save my files with it (i don't think so!) and now it gets stuck at the "smart mobility" screen with the red serial numbers... it doesn't even reach the windows mobile screen (used to get stuck there before I used bootloader).
Please help

do you guys think i'll lose my data if I flash it (meaning i reinstall windows with a new ROM with bootloader?).
I've never flashed the device... Haven't used any ROM either, simply because i don't know how to do that.
thank you

I called HTC and they told me that reflashing would make me lose all my data... What can I do? Please help, no one has bothered to answer...

If you have an SD inside when trying to boot, take it out and try again.
Sometimes a faulty SD can prevent startup.

Damn you cleartemp!!! Help please

Im soo pissed off right now.
So here is the situation. I'm hoping that I can quickly find help for the battle that me and my AT&T Tilt WM 6.1 are going through.
The name of the war -
CLEARTEMP ERASED EVERYTHING!!!!
So im at work on my office phone when my Tilt (which was in my holster on my hip) started vibrating... in three buzzes. I thought it was a message so I didnt answer right away.
5 minutes later I take out my phone to see who sent me a message but for some reason instead of seeing the S2U2 screen there was a "are you sure you want to?" block asking if i wanted to erase one of my programs because it was a unistalled registry, so the first thing i did was say no...... IT DID THAT FOR ABOUT 28 TO 30 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS!!!
Afterwards I exited out of Cleartemp to see if the programs were still on my phone but to my surprise not only were all of my programs gone but my storage card was completely erased and their was no settings folder and the only thing left in the programs folder was Games, tool box, file explorer and that fu3kin Media net.
I would have simply hard reset and used my sprite backup but there was no settings folder to get to the hard reset and my storage card was wiped completely clean.
so now i cant even hard reset and start from the ground up.
What can i do?
THANKS IN ADVANCE for taking the time to scratch your head in curiosity with me.
I would appreciate anyones help in helping me get through this War!!!

Do a hard reset by holding down the two softkeys and pushing the reset button on the bottom, keep the softkeys held till the unit acts like it's resetting. It's things like that that make me not use Cleartemp, Memmaid, or any of those other "registry cleaning" programs - they tend to screw things up more than help IMO. Sucks though.

Yeah, that's a real bummer, sorry to hear about that. In my opinion, cleartemp is alright, but some options in the program are very smart to avoid, like registry functions. I have tried the hard reset by keys method that many websites have suggested, however many do not work for me anyway. For my Tilt, I have to hold the two soft keys on the front with "-" on them, press the stylus in the reset hole, hold it in for a few secs, pull it out, and then without releasing the two soft keys, press the power button and follow the on screen instructions. I hope that helps you, and good luck,
Dave

Also try one of the many file recovery tools out there to recover your erased data on your sd card.
most data when erased isnt actually gone untill new data is written on top of it. dodm writes binary to every sector of a drive and then wipes it clean in between 7 times and even then its possible to retrieve data with a lab.
thats why they say to destroy all drives physically if it contains confidential data. Ive used different freeware and trial ware apps in the past to recover lost data from curropted or accidentally formatted drives and have recovered some if not all my data. just make sure you only imediately remove that sd card (keep the os from writting junk to it)and only insert it into a card reader when your ready to try to recover it.
I googled sdhc file recovery
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=restore+sdhc+recovery&aq=f&oq=
lots of things came back unfortanetly I cant remeber the name of the app I last used but a little reading and hopefully you can recover your sprite settings.

I hate to play devil's advocate here, but this post sounds surprisingly like what would happen if someone had their phone stolen and was using a security program to delete all information in such a case. A text message, then no programs, no data, nothing...
I'm not saying that this is definitely the case, but it is something to consider. That being said.... if you haven't messed with your SD, you can try some sort of recovery software on a PC to get your information back. It will copy block for block info from your SD to anohter location. As long as you haven't tried rewriting over your SD, you may have a good chance of recovering your backup.

THANK YOU!!
Thanks to everyone for the response and patience in helping me get through this situation. What I actually did was go to file explorer, searched for the hard-reset cab. and pressed on the "ink."
That did a hard-reset and luckily every time I save a program to my phone I make a copy and save it to a flash drive. So basically I'm in the process of re-customizing my phone to the way it was before..... (hopefully, lol)
But once again Thank you to every one for there support.

Yeah man ClearTemp F'ed up my phone once too! Not nearly as bad as yours though, sorry to hear that.
ANyways, just hard reset using your soft keys and stylus. To do this, hold down your 2 soft keys they ones with the little horizontal dash on them the ones above the IE and mail icon buttons.
So push and hold those in with two fingers of one hand,
then with your other hand hit the soft reset button with your stylus.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default,
or press Red call button to cancel.

had it happen to me as well
I had the same thing happen to me as well a week back, but fortunately I had just gotten a new card,so I recopyed all the info off my old card onto my new one... Im not sure why clear temp does that... but I dont want to use it again.. it has problems.
Hope you can restore it all the same!

I had the same problem lost a lot of mp3s and also my backups that were in the SD!! i was fortunate to find some old backup file and a SD card mirror folder on my computer and restored all, now i make sure i have both my internal storage and SD card copied to my computer.

Same issue. I ran cleartemp, my phone froze. I rebooted it and my storage card was corrupted. I lost most of the stuff on it. No more cleartemp for me, I now manually clean up ****.

Ditto.
Can anyone suggest any alternative auto-cleanup apps?

Theres a reason they call it flash-storage...
Never ever use SD/MMC/CF/USB Memstick/Other Flash-style-media for critical information or backups...
On another note I have been using cleartemp for nearly a year in a cooked rom and have never had a problem.
