Did the AUX button flash when you plugged the phone? I used an USB cable, and when I plugged the phone Windows recognized it before it shut down again. Does yours do that? As media_farm said, if you found another FR around, you could swap batteries and know for sure if the phone is OK or not.

Android has no SSH server. It is possible that you could access your phone using adb, wich is part of the Android dev kit. Since it does not work well in OS X I couldn't try it, so YMMV. On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 12:31 PM, Vimal Joseph vimaljos...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I installed the beta 7

Mine does not boot up with USB only. It's a buzz-fixed A6, and couldn't start without battery power (AFAIK). Moreover, the version of UBoot I have in NOR dates back to may, 2008, so it is probably very stale. I have so little juice NAND U-Boot won't. Let's see what I have on hand: 1)
