My phone recently started acted funny, So I reset it. I put in my palm information and it froze so I reset the phone. When it turned back on The screen where the PIN should be is just a blank blue screen with clouds. If i hold the power button an option for EXIT and POWER OFF comes up. But I cant do anything else. As I have a new phone but I need the files off my old one. Is there any way I can at least get to USB mode from where it is right now?

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Try to restart the phone by holding the power button and moving the ringer switch 3 times.

This will "reboot" your phone and then see if you get the same screen. 

If that doesn't work, you can try to put the phone in USB drive mode by pressing Option + Sym + U.

none of those worked.

Pull the battery out then put it back in.  Then press and hold the power button and volume up button together.  Hold it until you see the black screen with the white USB symbol.  At that point you can connect it to your computer and pull off your files.

how can i do it without my power button, as it is broke.

In a previous post the power button worked.  Did it break just now?

It might be possible to pull the battery, put the battery back in, and while holding the volume up button, plug in the charger.  I have never tried that, but it might work.  Just keep holding volume up until you get the USB screen.

I do that too, haha!  You could try using a toothpick or some other small pointy device to hold Volume Up.

i tried doing that, but when i hold the volume up, it just keeps restarting, and making a beep noise on my computer. at this time the phone is just looping that atm
