Re: Crash to bootloader issue

I couldnt remember what the hard-reset combo was, so I was kinda stuck. (I am not sure if it would have helped anyways).

I tried removing the battery and softreset about 4-5 times over the course of an hour or so and continued to get the bootloader screen, but figured I'd just have to reflash once I got back home.

Well when I did get home the phone started up as normal (it had not been hard reset as all my data was there).

Has anyone seen behavior like this? or suggest how to prevent it and recover from it? (aside from it magically doing it itself)

Thanks,
Chris
When the phone started up, was it connected to the USB cable? I have read that some particular combinations of incompatible ROM, radio, and bootloader can cause the device to only reset to bootloader except when attached through the USB cable to a computer.
