So last night I went and cleaned a bunch of stuff off the crackberry, like midpssh, which the 7100t is too slow to really use, and a few advanced themes (like the Dimension Zen theme) which were also slow on the 7100t. I rebooted to finish the removal and the crackberry went into a reboot loop. Terrified that I had hosed the system up big-time I tried to recover it using the awesome howto on crackberry.com (http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry). Unfortunately vmware-player on linux takes too long to detect the USB device that I couldn’t interrupt the boot process and re-flash the device. Thankfully vmware on the Mac was quick enough to blow the OS back on.
Now to restore all my settings and themes…
