Lost 2 files on Sprint 6.5, now activesync is broken

mountainwampus · #1 (**permalink**) 05-07-2010, 06:04 PM

So, I was messing around in "windows/startup" on my TP2 with stock Srint 6.5 ROM, and decided to delete activesync and voicecmd from this folder, now, even after "clear storage," the files are still missing and activesync will not function properly.

Could someone please post these files for me?
I have no other options at this point. Thanks!

hard reset and start over, or backup before tinkering next time.

big +1 to both. gota ask why you would delete those first off and why you thought active sync would still work?

Backup Backup Backup, anything to do with computer technology is #1 backup before changing anything.

Here are the .lnk files from my Sprint TP2, stock 6.5 ROM.

I copied them from my Startup folder to Storage Card with SKTools, then transferred them to my desktop and put them into a zip file. Hope this works for you.

Thanks for taking the time to post these, the Voice Command.ink is perfect, unfortunately, "asksw.ink" doesn't seem to be the correct ink for activesync. Could anyone tell me if the startup folder contains a file with an activesync icon and what that file is called, and maybe even try posting it for me?

Those wondering why I did this in the first place? Well, I didn't use activesync at all, and figured, why use system resources to keep it running if I never use it? same with Voice Command. I assumed that I would still be able to start activesync some other way, but I can't figure out how. I decided to use "clear storage", which restored everything to stock 6.5, but it never restored those 2 ink files for some odd reason.

In my Windows/StartUp folder, I have the following .lnk files (not .ink)

asksw.lnk
BTTrayCE.lnk
HTCStartUp.lnk
PKG.lnk
poutlook.lnk
Voice Command.lnk

None of them have the green circle Activesync icon. However, under Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Tools, I have Activesync.lnk which is the "clickable" icon on the Start Menu. Would you like that?

Also - have you tried doing a hardware hard reset, via the button presses? I wonder if that would restore your files completely vs. Clear Storage.
