Sorry I posted before seeing these last few posts. I don't care about getting the code because I don't really use it...its a much longer term problem. But I'd like to go hiking now and need a phone in case I have an emergency or something. And I absolutely do not want to fry my data (contacts are not a huge deal as i sync them but photos, tomboy notes, etc.. are). So is there a way I can flash the phone and make it useable without losing the data? is there a way to do this from OS X or linux? I would really appreciate a link with some details if so. Many thanks!
