Guest SirGaz Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 The unlock will still be there no matter what, so don't worry about that. Basically the easiest way is to hard reset, then just apply the decert and reload the software. So long as you don't sync up with Outlook then you won't get the contact back on the phone.
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 13, 2003 Report Posted March 13, 2003 Actually... You can delete the contacts in Outlook (after having saved a backup on the backup, of course). Then sync, the phone is then without the contacts. Restore your contacts in Outlook afterwards.
Guest yatpeak Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 Or you could delete the message one by one... Wyatt
Guest Bazz Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 Not sure that works. There was a message about someone who'd deleted a contact but their name still came up when they received a call from them. You're best bet is a Hard Reset followed by De-cert again.
Guest Hax Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 I think that your best bet is to simply delete the three database files: mxip_lang.vol mxip_initdb.vol cemail.vol They all live in your IPSM folder but unfortunately can't be simply deleted because they are in use by the system and have been locked against deletion. You need to rename then using using All-Explorer (or I assume smartexplorer but I've not used this!). Once renamed, simply turn your phone off and then back on. Windows will see that these files are missing and will simply create new ones. You can then go and delete the files that you renamed. These are the database file that store all of your contacts and e-mail/sms messages, etc and will be recreated after a power on. I don't think that the registry information such as app unlock is stored in these files - but it's got to be worth a shot before doing a hard-reset! HTH, Hax

Didn't the names come up from the SIM, or the Call History? Why would the info be kept after a synchronization that wiped the contacts list?
