Is there any way to retrieve Data from permanently crashed Palm?

I have a treo 755p that seemed to die on me. I can't get it past the "Access" opening page when I power on.  The phone gave me a message about memory shortfall after a phone call and that was it.  My service provider -Telus- no longer handles Palm and so they quickly told me that it was toast... but I'm suspicious...  They want to get me into a Blackberry.
I have discovered that everthing was backed up except for my Versamail and I had some important emails stored there.  Is there some way that this information can be accessed in any way?  Is there something I can try to do?  The person at the store tried to reset the phone but that apparently did not work.
So... two parts to the the question: Can somebody tell me what steps I can do to save my Treo and if it is dead... is there any way to access the phone's hard drive?

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I am sorry to hear about the problem you are having. Unfortunately, the device does need to be fully booted to access the memory and sync it. If it is not able to boot, there is no supported way of getting your data off of that unit. A hard reset may resolve the boot issue you are having but the data would be lost. However, you can try a hard reset and answer "No" to erasing your data to see if it will fully boot. I will epxlain this process in further detail.
To hard reset the device you will want to remove the battery. Before placing the battery back in the device, hold down the red (end call) button. While holding down that button reinsert the battery. Continue holding the red button until the loading bar at the bottom completes. You will then be prompted with a message "Erase All Data Yes or No." You will then press DOWN on the 5 way navigator to respond "No" to this prompt. If the device still gets stuck and will not boot then you must answer "Yes" to resolve the issue. NOTE: BY ANSWERING YES WILL ERASE ALL DATA CURRENTLY STORED ON THE DEVICE.
I hope this helps in resolving the issue you are having. Future advice: Hotsync your device to a computer regularly to keep a back up of your data just incase if these problems occur.

    Only if you used PhotoStream then try getting them (photos only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    Yes.  Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
    Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

  • Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition?

    Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition? <eom>

    You could try using 'metarecover'. I don't know if that works after a metaclear, but it's the only think that I could think to try.
    I think you could brute-force search for UFS filesystems within the underlying storage, but that's pretty tedious.

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

    is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

    No, by the time its in recovery mode it's too late. The contents of the phone are gone. Did enable any of the ways that Apple provides to back up photos?
    Backup the phone to your computer
    Automatic daily iPhone backup to iCloud
    enable Photo Stream
    Copy photos to your computer using a USB cable and a compatible photo management utility on your computer
    Enable Photo Sharing
    Enable Photo Library backup
    OR any of the 3rd party photo management solutions, such as Google Picasa, Google+, Facebook, Shutterfly?
    OR any of the cloud sharing services such as box.com or dropbox?
    If you have set up any one of these your photos can be retrieved from it.

  • Is there any way to retrieve notes from the trash can

    You may be able to restore from backup.

  • Is there any way to retrieve notes from a broken iphone via usb connection?

    I have an old broken iphone 3g and I want to retrieve the notes from my old phone; however, there is absolutely no way I can turn the phone on and manually email the notes to myself.  Is there any way I can retrieve the notes from a file transfer system once synching up the iphone to my computer?  If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it! 
    Thanks

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

  • Is there any way to export data from a calendar 5 instance to 6.3?

    I've run into yet another issue with my migration from calendar 5 to 6.3.
    It turns out that one of our satellite clinics has a very large amount of data stored on our older server. Right now we're having to put the migration on hold because there are several hundred events on the old server that are repeat events and/or events scheduled relatively far in the future. This issue, along with the possibility of double booking events/appointments while both servers are active, is a serious risk that could have detrimental effects on this site.
    There are a few issues that I'm not certain how to handle in this case. First of all, the old server's database is stored in schema 1, and changes in the LDAP directory structure from cal 5 vs. 6.3 made it impossible to migrate the old database and accounts. The new server is schema 2. So migrating the whole directory, especially at this point, seems rather unlikely.
    Is there any way that I can export data for specific accounts and calendars for the people at this site in a version-independent format and import it to the new server? If nothing else we can schedule somebody to come in on one of the weekends and manually copy the data, but if possible I'd like to avoid devoting somebody to that for the several hours that it would take to copy that by hand. Also, this would not be the preferred method due to the fact that human error could result in our clients being misscheduled, which would obviously be bad for business.
    I'd appreciate any ideas anybody may have on this matter.
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually I guess I was missing the obvious method of simply exporting to xml and importing on the new calendar. For some reason I thought that the exports were incompatible between versions as well.Hmm... whilst this may have worked on the face-of-it I do wonder whether everything has indeed been moved across and more importantly translated into the correct form e.g. access controls, uids => uids@domain format.
    Is there anybody that can answer definitively whether or not any data will be lost by this procedure?There are simply too many variables involved in your proposed migration to provide any kind of 100% iron-clad guarantees. I would suggest you perform a thorough test migration of the data and then compare the ics/xml export from the ics5/6 systems to see if any of the data has changed. Also test to see whether access controls are still working (can a user who could previously edit another persons calendar on ics5 now do so with ics6).
    Things to look out for are that meeting attendee information is kept, any 'fancy' characters (i.e. 8-bit characters) and formatting information is kept, the number of tasks/meetings is consistent between the two versions and so forth.

  • Is there a way to retrieve data from database wihout using JDBC while using JPDK?

    Hi,
    I want to create a portlet using JPDK with extra render modes and edit/Edit defaults mode too. The detail and show renderer mode jsp's/servlets render data from database. Based on the personalized paramter, the data rendered in detail and show mode will be obtained from database.
    The articles in the PDK zip asks not to use JDBC for security vulnerability. Does that mean , I should not use JDBC to connect to db to get data. If not, what should I use ? How do I connect to database ? Is there any class which helps to connect to db without using JDBC ?
    thanks,
    Mainak

    I'm not sure what articles you are refering to, because there is no other way to access a database from a java program. Generally, security related docs tend to be a little paranoid (and so they should be), but you have to balance high security against getting the job done.
    Obviously, if using JDBC, you need to be careful about protecting your config files because they will contain connection information.

    The only way to access any data from a backup is to restore the entire backup to your device.

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos from a dead iphone 4?

    The mainboard on my wife's iPhone 4 has died maybe due to water. It's dead and I've had it confirmed by apple. Photostream was not on and it wasn't backed up in a long time.

    no, there is no way to retrieve your photos short of some forensic service that would likely cost you thousands of dollars.

  • Is there any way to get data from my drown i phone?

    MY frind iphone dip in water, she try to fix it or at least get the data from it( photo , aplications, contacts,...atc) but no body can do it ?
    I am shore that thaier is some way to get back the data , but i dont now how .

    Because an iPhone's hard drive is nonremovable, you need to be able to turn on the iPhone in order to access its data. However, iCloud automatically backs up your iPhone's photos, applications, contacts, etc..., so after you get a new iPhone, the first time setup menu will give you the option to restore it from your friend's old iPhone's backup.

  • Is there any way to migrate data from my Leopard 10.5.8 mac mini to my new Lion mini?

    Just got the new Mac Mini that has Lion pre-installed.  I want to migrate my data from my previous mac mini that has 10.5.8 installed.  What's the trick to do it?  Migration Assistant on my Lion mini is telling me to update the assistant on my old computer but it's already up to date!

    That may work, if the file permissions will allow it.  And it will work for "simple" applications, but not "complex" ones, that came with their own installers. See Transferring  Applications.   Complex apps must be transferred via Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant, or reinstalled from the original discs or downloads.
