That's why I use Wi-Fi connection 
Obviously you can mount your FS from recovery and repair your file using VI-editor.

I don't have wifi, so I cannot ssh that way. My connection is a VPN via BT (Openzone), so I have no choice but to ssh via USB.
Okay, I don't know how to mount the file structure from recovery but I do know how to edit....which is exactly what I need to do!......
How do I mount the FS?
Edit: I'm in Recovery now, chosen option 4 (shell)
I have made a rootfs directory..........the few webpages I've found are either out of date or the commands to mount the fs don't work!...typical.

Go into recovery and choose Shell, mount your FS
and edit your file
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mnt
Code:
vi /mnt/path_to_file

While connected via SSH and in the middle of editing a system file, I got distracted. Some 10 minutes later, my distraction has become a real problem - so much so, I needed to make a call!, I forgot I was SSh'd in and editing and unplugged the USB to use the phone.....and of course now all I have, is a solid white screen!, oh b*ll*cks!............
My question is, what are the chances of recovering the handset and keeping my data?, can I repair the file I was working on from within Recovery Tool....and info appreciated, before I do a full reset (not desirable in this case, as I actually have data I would like to keep!)
