<title><![CDATA[HTC Hero: looking for a guide or reference to unlock phone while preserving data]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>have an older htc hero(sprint), and a LG chocolate that i threw into the electronics black hole (my desk drawer) a while ago.</p>

<p>well now that i need my old contacts out of them i cant remember the dammmmmm unlocks .nothing shady i own these phones(and can prove it). any clues how i can</p>

<p>bypass these while preserving all data in said phone or am i just S.O.L.???</p>

<p>I also understand that these are popular with the rooting crowd and would be willing to give phones(extra batteries,chargers,cig plugs,ect.) and cash($$$$) to whomever could help me w/this once we're done with them.</p>

<p>I have looked for a while for a solution to my problem,</p>

<p>and people are either to shady or just dont want to give up the knowledge, not quite sure as to why.</p>

<p>even referrals welcome.</p>

<p>I am in the los angeles area.</p>
