First Claim
1. A portable communication device, comprising:
- a near field communication module;
a high speed wireless communication module; and
a recovery manager configured to;
initiate, in response to a determination that an operating system of the portable communication device has crashed, a session between the portable communication device and another portable communication device through a near field communication connection established by the near field communication module;
obtain, via the near field communication module, an address of the another portable communication device during the session;
establish, via the high-speed wireless communication module, a high speed wireless connection with the another portable communication device using the address;
continue the session to receive an operating system image from the another portable communication device through the high speed wireless connection; and
recover the operating system of the portable communication device with use of the operating system image.
