I <em>really</em> didn’t want to lose those photos. A couple of hours\nsearching the Interwebs and a little bit of experimentation later, and I managed\nit. Basically, download and apply the clockwork mod bootloader, and this turns\non the developer options that allow access to the filesystem via the Android SDK\ntools.

Then boot it into fastboot mode by\nholding down <code>power</code> and <code>volume-down</code>. Once it boots you should be in the\nfastboot list – the volume keys will cycle you through the list.
