I'm troubled with the "Edit Home screen Loop" after changing my root password.I dont want to restore the firmware, a monotonous process, and I haven't backed up the contact and other db files. The SSH isn't connected too and there isn't enough time(10 sec) to enable wifi and connect.
Is it possible to change the password or the password files during DFU mode , probably with ibooter?
Or is there any other method to backup the hung files in the iphone to PC ?

ibooter has a usb put and usb get functions.But I can't seem to find the purpose of those commands .. .

I know that changing the password back doesn't fix the problem as I tried it with mine. Not sure about accessing system files without sshd running though. Probably hosed there man... Sorry.

basically, you would have to change /etc/master.passwd file
