Until today my N900 has worked perfectly since December. Today I was going to make a call, but suddenly I got only a message ribbon telling me about an internal error and that the phone app was killed.

I thought that rebooting the device (aka manually shutting down + booting) might solve the problem, but in the end it wrecked the whole thing.

So when I boot it, it starts as usual, but when it gets to the PIN code input screen, the white led lights up and it shuts down - only to start the whole process again.

What makes this really unpleasant is that I had a very long (and even more important) text that I was writing in Conboy. As far as I know, Conboy stores its data in somewhere else than MyDocs. I need to rescue it somehow. Any ideas?

And by the way: I have not enabled extras-devel, -testing or any other repos and I haven't still installed PR1.2.


tl;dr: Read the fourth chapter.
