Iphone 3GS, locked valuable pics inside

[boings]

Hey,

My iphone has been locked on the apple screen over and over and I have read several posts about it. I can restore it, but I would lose my data (especially my photos). I could perform a backup, but I am using a new computer that has not backed up any of my data previously and the computer I was previously using, is not working. I want to know if there is another alternative to getting off my 600+ photos. thanks

You can unlock it with your old computer (the harddrive from the old computer).

What, you don't know your passcode? Is it even your phone?

You mean it's locked at the lockscreen?

I think he/she might mean that it's "bricked" -- it needs a DFU restore. If that's the case, it might be possible to get your data off, but it's going to be messy -- something along these lines.

yeah, sorry I wasn't specific, it's blocked at the loading screen.. or bricked.

I will try that link out and say what happens, thanks a lot.
