Default PC Shutoff during OS load!

Right before the very last step "restore device data". Battery must've been loose and my laptop just clicked off.

My question is: is the data stored anywhere??? Like when you back up apps and pause the process to find the folder with your PIN...where can I find this file? Or do I have to redo my entire OS now?? I have a backup from like a month or two ago...

can you let the phone boot and let the loader continue or did loader stop?

Loader stopped...but I found a loader backup file where I save my backups..called "LoaderBackup8.12.10.jpd"

Awesome! I think this does it as the apps are loaded....

Congrats. You got lucky. This is a good lesson on why one should back up all data and apps manually before letting loader do the same. That way, even if loader chokes or there's a hardware problem during install you still have the backups to restore from.

This morning I had loader crap out while installing apps, and aside from time lost, the backups I had meant that I was able to stay calm throughout.
