The database is the sticking point now. What I'm looking at is either your suggestion or a factory reset, firmware update and grabbing the database immediately after the update finishes. Having looked through multiple versions of the firmware, I've come to the conclusion that the copy in the recovery partition is the only copy around.

So far, I've managed to freeze my Glo several times but the last time, a pinhole reset and manual copy of the database got it working. At this time, I'm looking at how I'm creating the db.tgz and am booting an Ubuntu virtual machine to try from Linux rather than Windows.
