new problem under the 2.2.2, I can't access my contacts nor will my phone access my photo gallery. I pulled the card, plugged it into my computer and all of the pics are on the card.

Install the bootstrap which is system recovery? I don't get that part...... it does not explain very much.

I definitely recommend bloat freezer app. DO NOT REMOVE anything until u know exactly what happens after u freeze certain things. Some things like text message depend on email engine. And if u freeze or remove corporate sync your contacts break.
Trust me it is a LOT better to learn by freezing apps first.
If u freeze DLNA it will immediately pop up with force close all u need to do is battery pull and u will be fine and it will be frozen. A couple other apps do the same. Do NOT freeze home unless u have go launcher to take its place. Go launcher ex is amazing IMHO

If.photo was.on ext sd card they weren't touched so good to know
Just please take ny advice on freezing apps first. It will save you.the trouble of having to push apks or sbf'ing a bunch of tines cuz u deleted an app that others depend on to work correctly. It stops them from running and they disappeared from ir.phone until u defrost them. And it is very simple to use.
