Thanks John.
The first attempt did not work - I ran SPB from the device, selected the Backup file on the Card, and I'm not sure if it completed - I was doing something else, and when I looked back, I was on the Today screen. I would have assumed that it would have automatically done a soft reset if it had completed correctly.
I reset, but it didn't get very far - the "HTC" didn't even come up. I used File Explorer to navigate to the backup self-executable file itself, and after a long delay, it finally started up, and is going through the Restore right now. We'll see if it completes or fixes this.
One odd thing: has anybody seen, or know what this symbol means? It is not present in the TP2 User Manual:
This showed up the last time it messed up like this (on the prior refurb TP2, so I don't think it's likely a hardware issue). If I try to call my cell number, the 3G will drop to 1x, as if it's recognizing the incoming call, but it never rings, and once the call drops to Voice Mail, it returns to 3G.
This is very, very frustrating....
ETA: The restore is still proceeding, although incredibly slowly. Must be going on 45 to 60 minutes so far. It's never taken this long before...
