hi folks
again problems with my tytn... its an hermes 300, with faria/puttingham rom on it, so far more than 2-3 months...
everything worked fine till 2-3 hrs ago... suddenly all got blocked, tried soft reset everything was soo slow and blocked, i couldnt even type my SIM PIN on start... so i softreseted like 4-5 times, and now i have 2 more problems..
i had RemotePRotect installed on it, and what's worse i forgot my password... and i already shot twice with wrong password so i have another chance..
if i miss it for 3rd time ppc will automatically hard reset itself...
now the problem is i dont want ppc to hard reset itself, cos i will loose all contacts and all data i have...
so, im asking and begging u for some solution what to do... remoteprotect is installed in internal storage, is it possible if i delete the folder from ppc there will be no password screen on start?
how to copy all contacts from ppc to computer? i have no outlook on pc and cant sync contacts with activesync..
if i have to hard reset at least id wish to get all my contacts intact...
any help plz? :(:(:confused::confused:

thanks

in \windows\StartUp there r 2 files, checkphone and lock, which are used by remoteprotect.. i can delete them cos they r being used as soon i start ppc... is there anyway to hard remove that 2 files via activesync while ppc is running? i think that remoteprotect cant start if that 2 files r missing..
guys pls im desperate and i need to get my ppc online! :confused:

Sorry mate, I don't believe you're gonna get around it. You might find it will automatically wipe or even brick your hermes if you delete anything. You need to use a backup program (pim backup is free and backs up your contacts) but you need the phone working first.

Hope you can get the contacts back easily ( they may b e stored on your SIM?) because I don't think you're gonna get them back unless you remember your password...:(

damnit...
seems i cant get the original pass back, wots worse i tried all my usual and they dont match :eek:
anyway, figured out that u can type down 2 times password but than u restart ppc and go again...
anyway, installed M$ Outlook unfortunately cpl of mins ago so i backed up all contacts...
yes i use PIM backup but last time i did a backup was one week ago, and since than i added many new contacts..

ah damnit... PPC stolen by its own proprietary :D

thx anyway... bb

ahh.... at least i have now a fresh windows :)
hope remoteprotect doesnt popup now after reinstallation, that would be a total insanity :)
