I tried a couple searches on here, couldn't really figure out the best way to phrase it.
I was tweaking the transitions.ini file located in /usr/share/hildon-desktop (I think that's the right path?), and with the Maemo CSSU adding some new options, my old, tweaked file ended up missing a couple things, and I unfortunately didn't back up the one with the new options.
So, foolishly, I hoped that hildon-desktop would remake that file if I deleted it. I was wrong! Instead, the phone shut down, tried rebooting, and shuts down after a minute.
I'm curious about the easiest method to restore that file, and just that file. With the transitions.ini file gone, I can't just boot the phone, open xterm and copy it back into place. What would I have to reflash, if anything? Is there a way to boot the phone into some godly, 'ssh over usb so I can just copy the file back into place' thing that I don't know about?
