Re: Need to copy files off locked up phone
Well, I thought I would post how I retrieved files off my phone. Since I knew it was the today plugin I added causing the phone to lockup I had about 2 seconds of correct phone operation before it would hang. After the hang the phone would not respond to button presses, would not even show up as a know device in windows.
I joined the irc ppcgeeks chat and hund around for a couple of hours asking around at what i could do. I was told I was in for a hard reset. I needed my voice files off the phone. I found that if I repeatedly pressed the phone button (the green putton on my HTC Touch phone) right BEFORE the background was displayed I could preempt the today screen from loading. I could tie up the phone. This gave me about 40 secounds of access to copy my files off the phone. It would eventually lock up again and I would lose access. I though I would post this in case someone has a similar problem of needing to access files on a phone that would lock up AFTER booting. c |

Re: Need to copy files off locked up phone
Nice to hear you got to your files. For future reference I've gotten out of this exact issue using iLauncher's Safe Mode feature.

Re: Need to copy files off locked up phone
my phone is doing the same thing. botched today plugin install... when it tries to load the today plugins.. it hangs. same way as yours. so if i mash the phone button i can have a few seconds grace period? so if i did this and turned off all the today plugins.... would this not correct the problem so i could reinstall the botched plugin? im experimenting right now...
