Friday night, after months of flaky behavior, my iPhone stopped booting up completely, and instead turns off after 10 - 30 seconds. This was a pretty devastating discovery as I'd just taken lots of fun pictures that I was eager to post to Facebook. I also had some calendar entries that I don't remember all the details to…
What made this all the more disheartening was the fact that there was no way to recover items without a fully booting iPhone, of which mine had no chance of short of a wipe and reinstall of the OS. How I lamented not having made a backup before that final shutdown/restart process. After many hours of seeking, I found a ray of hope. The iPhone can boot from a RAM disk. Unfortunately, finding all the tools to get this done was quite a process, as they vary by specific models, operating systems and whatever.
Will the world ever get to see the awesome pics? Will I miss an important appointment?
