hey. so i was fixin my iphone so that i could get cracked apps on it, so i had to replace a mobileinstallation file with another mobileinstallation file, so i did this through ssh. after i had done this i was supposed to reboot my device. so i turn off my iphone, and when i turned it back on it stays on the apple logo forever. so what do i do now?
anyone found a little smart thing to do to easily fix this?

Changing the mobileinstallation file would not affect the iPhone rebooting. Something else had to have been done. Did you install anything through Cydia before doing the mobileinstallation thing?

Did you install many apps before the reboot?

easy fix:

While its on the apple logo,SSH into your phone, and rename the var/mobile/applications folder

Then the phone will boot

then name it back to applications

then Sync

If your SSH is still active after reboot then replace the file with the original one and see if that fixes the issue. If you can't SSH in then try iphonebroswer... and if THAT doesn't work then DFU restore and start all over.

ssh doesnt work. if i have installed any apps from cydia right before, no not right before. is my only option to restore?

[Chefanim]

It would appear so.

Restore your phone, ........and quit stealing. Karma's kicking your arse already and you have barely began your life of crime.

ok, so i connected my iphone to the pc and put it in DFU mode, the pop up came on itunes at told me to restore, so i tried restoring (using the customized restore to jailbreak unlock and activate at same time, worked last time) but an error pops up and: the iphone could not be restored, unknown error (1600)

so, what do i do? am lost

if i restore with normal restore from apple, and then use the custom one, will that work?
