Guest Anonymous Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Hi, I accidentally deleted the default contacts (useful Orange numbers, URLs, etc.). What's the best way to get them back? Thanks, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I think there are some CAB files lurking on the device that you can run to reinstall them, (try a search), failing that, a hard reset may do it :shock: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Can't find any CAB files on the device so I might try the hard reset. What state is the phone left in after the reset - as it came in the box? I don't want to end up losing even more Orange customisations like the data accounts, etc! Mike.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I haven't dared try it yet to be honest with you, but I would *expect* it to be out of the box... Don't quote me on that :wink: I'll hook mine up later and check for those CAB files if you like... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Found an orange_uk.cab in Windows but it won't execute - insufficient permissions. I wonder if it runs after a hard reset? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 OK, I was brave a did a hard reset. It took *ages* to boot back up again afterwards - getting on for two minutes and I was really worried. However, the Home screen finally appeared and it is back in its "out-of-the-box" state. All the Orange customisations, data accounts, contacts are there. A simple synchronisation with ActiveSync and everything's back to normal :D Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Cool, glad to hear it! I'll hunt down those CAB files anyway, just for my own satisfaction :shock: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 The only CAB I could find (using the file explorer application on the SD card) was that orange_uk.cab. It didn't find any other .cabs. I guess the reason the SPV took so long to reboot after the erase was that it was installing that CAB. Mike.

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 And did you try running Orange_UK.cab? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Yes, "insufficient permission". Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 That is pretty bizarre. That kinda suggests that the Orange_UK.cab is not signed with the orange signature or something... dunno... confusing! I wonder if it runs with a privilege or at a state when the app signing is not active? May have to investigate! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 It's not just Orange tho is it, they all do it. At least (on some handsets) you can take a sugar-cube or nail varnish remover to the logo :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Line 2 is in the base GSM spec I believe, so they likely just 'turn it on' for Orange software versions rather than developing something different. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
