I will let you know how I get on, thanks a lot The Dead, I can see you help out a lot of people on TMO so thank you so much!
No probs but I would urge you to NOT re-install the OS if its able to boot into the homescreen...

If you can boot into the homescreen let me know we can recover it in a few mins instead of re-installing OS and losing precious data...

Well I can't see the homescreen, no icons or anything, all I can see is my lock screen and standby screen, which both work fine. That is why I am doing it this way... It is really weird.

Update* Nokia suite wont update my phone... I can't work out what is going on.

Ok if that's the case can you now try plugging in your USB cable to your phone; do you get the menu asking for mass storage, sync & connect or SDK mode?

If we can connect it via SDK mode on a Windows PC too it can be fixed...

Follow till step 6 then once connected via puTTy just type:

Code:
/opt/N9QTweak/N9QT
Run Tweak L


Once this is done you can switch off, disable RD mode and your phone should work all fine


Edit: In the steps in the link I mentioned password as rootme, of course if yours is different just type in whatever yours is

The apps screen wont load, I can't get into SDK mode. I have the screen that says "USB device connected" I can select "mass storage mode" or "Sync and connect". That is what I thought you meant. I don't have an option for SDK mode...

You don't have developer mode enabled?

But I can't get to developer mode... I can't go through the menus. My swipe UX is broken.
