I shut my Desire Z (G2 on TMobile) off to restart it the other day. I had just finished up a phone call and my phone had auto-updated to Flash 11 over the weekend. When I tried to turn it back on, though, all it did was vibrate 7 times. I had to take the battery out for it to respond to anything, and that response was merely the 7 vibrations when I tried to turn it on again.
I tried removing the SIM and SD cards and plugging into the charger and into the PC, to no effect. I was hoping it'd do something without the battery, but I guess it can't run from AC without a battery like laptops can, since it didn't give me any vibrations without a battery installed.
The phone had 4 days left on its warranty and the replacement is on a truck, but I had a bunch of data on it I had neglected to back up (one would imagine moving apps to the SD card would also move the userdata to the SD card, but I guess not!). Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get any data off a phone that appears to be dead? The T-Mobile store was useless apart for getting the warranty replacement ordered.
