OK, I did something dumb. I went in and activated OMAPClock via Smartskey without fully testing the limits of my MDA. I'm sure you know what's coming next... now my phone won't boot. It usually will get as far as painting the Today screen but it completely freezes at that point.

Other than a hard reset, is there any way that I can get my phone up and running? I'm thinking of something like safe mode on a Windows PC, where I can bypass the stuff in Startup. Or is there any other way to block Smartskey or OMAPClock from starting automatically? If there were some way to get at the config file for Smartskey I could fix it as well.

Thanks in advance...

The only way to get safe mode is if you already have a program installed that has that function. There are a few out there, one being pocket mechanic and I can't think of what the others are off hand but if google for ppc safe mode you'll find them. Unfortunately if you don't have one of them already installed you're most likely in for a hard reset. I don't exactly trust safe mode on my wizard anyway, the one time I tried it out it wouldn't come out of it. It just kept rebooting in safe mode after that and I ended up doing a hard reset anyway.

As far as i know hard reset is your option. but thats me saying

I myself had this problem when i first started to use my phone and i found out that there is no safe mode but there is programs that have this option

Edit: xeno1 beat me to it
