I've been using a data cable along with BitPim for my phone (LG 6190) successfully for weeks, but just today I went into BitPim to import my Outlook calendar information (which it said it did). I then tried to reboot my phone, but now upon booting up, it just "hangs" on the Telus logo and then shuts itself off after a couple of minutes.
Could it be that the filesystem has become corrupted? I had made an entire backup of the phone's filesystem a couple of weeks ago, but I have no way of getting in so that I can actually restore it.
Anyways, hope someone out there can help out

The same thing happened to me~ You'll have to bring it to be replaced. Hope your phone isn't too old, it should still be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. I wouldn't mention that you were using the data cable. Just tell them all of a sudden it wont turn on... they shouldn't question you any further. I know... it sucks, but it is your only option. You've messed up your phone's software.
Look on the bright side... you've got everything saved onto your computer's hard drive!!

Damn... Is there any way to re-flash the thing myself? I'll try to take it back, but I think I may be too late...

well, I have no knowledge of what it means to "re-flash" something. BUT, I don't think anything is possible when the phone wont even turn on!
When did you buy your phone? It probably has a 1 year mfg warranty
