It's funny Jebba, I just had to do this again, and referred to the above link in the OP, and was like what the??

I found it though on the page. Almost panicked.

Thanks for your efforts in this regard.

I woudl consider this to be a crucial article for this phone.

(Had mine 2 star brick again after trying to free up some rootfs space... good old r&d mode worked like a champ, although I really need to try the new method you posted. One question on that is whether the usb cable needs to be plugged into a computer, or if you can just plug a dead line in?)

FYI, it wont work in Windows. You need a Unix system.

Cool, glad I answered in time

The USB cable needs to be plugged into something. Let me know if the "new" way works for you if it should be needed again.

* take battery out
* insert USB cable (to boot device with charging boot reason)
* insert battery & put back cover back
* remove USB cable

So is this confirmed or you've just not had success with it?

In theory it should work, I just couldn't get the phone register properly via usb. My issue with that was I orginally connected the phone via usb through shareport off my router.

Tonight I'll attempt it again, just to see for myself.

However, the past 2 times I've used this method I did use the wife's apple.
