Hi all, may I ask you a humble question. Is there a program/registry tweak that can prevent the machine from being hard reset? Or at least provides it as an option? I am using X51v running WM5. Thank for helping! x2h

Soft reset is simple, a million apps do it
Hard resets typically require something in the ROM and bay not always be exposed to an API. However, I suppose it might be possible that it COULD be done, but a hard reset is the last step in recovering a malfunctioning device, blocking that would probably be a bad idea | |||||||||||

Why is this a concern to you? What are you trying to accomplish?

good question. i am just concerned if I lost my Ax, even though it's protected with a security software (PocketSecure), after a hard reset, it's all gone. yes the data is protected since it will be wipted out by the hard reset, but the Ax is usable again1.
if I can prevent a hard reset, then I can make it a brisk even I will not receover it. | |||

There's really no way to disable the hard reset.

"There is always a way
Simply void the warranty by opening up the case and desolder the reset button" thanks but I would like to keep soft reset function please . there are times my machine will freeze and the only way to get out of it is to poke the soft reset hole at the back.come on guys, a hard reset on X51v comprises two steps: press and hold power button while poking the soft reset hole. if there's a way to achieve this via a software, there's gotta be a way to block it via software too... | |||

i realize that this might take some time to achieve, while currently a more realistic approach to is make a ROM that includes the security siftware so that even after a hard resent it's still protecting my machine. I don't know how technologically chalenging is that, but could someone first point me to a link for a tutorial of ROM-making? Thanks!
