Retrieve lost data from dying Droid

[Tyler Wilson]

My Droid has been slipping away over the past week-one function at a time. My biggest concern is retrieving lost photos.
The phone powers on, but does not reboot itself. This is storage beyond the SD card.
And no I did not back up and yes next time I will. Any wizardry out there that can help?

Explain your problem again, please?
Are you able to turn on your phone?

Thank you so much for responding. Yes, I can literally turn on the phone at this point.
However, it does not boot itself up. The screen just displays HTCC and then goes dark.

What you could try is:

# Try installing the stock ROM and see if that fixes the problem.

Or,

# See if you can install a kernel which supports ClockWorkMod.
# Once done, you can mount your phone using it.

Again,

Thank you for this information and for being so specific. I am not technically inclined
and am scrambling to pull this off. I do have a couple of friends who a re engineers
at Google and are trying to help. No one has suggested this and I will pass it on.
I will keep you appraised of the progress.

Thank you for your time and interest! Tyler
