Spinning Wheel of Death and Reset every 10 seconds, problem?

[MystikalDesigns]

Ok so yesterday I tried to install Extended Preferences app from Cydia. It went smoothly and I did a hard reset afterwards just for something to do. After I tried to boot it back up, it just kept going to the apple logo doing a spinning wheel of death and reseting itself evry 10 seconds. I plug it into the computer and iTunes recognizes it but because it keeps reseting itself, it won't create a backup or sync properly. I had SSH installed but I can't get into it anymore as my iPhone won't connect to the Wi-Fi connection. I tried using DiskAid but it's not working and neither is iPhoneBrowser.

Anyone got any recommendations? I really want a backup or my iPhone back.

Anyway to SSH into your iPhone without internet or is there a program which I can use to get into the iPhone other than the two I used above?

if your phone keeps rebooting, preventing a connection from establishing, i'm not sure why other programs would work when the ones you've tried already won't. sounds like your only option may be to restore...

The only time I've seen that happen is when changing the root password under 113/114. It means Springboard doesn't have permission to run, so it keeps resetting to make another attempt. Made any permission changes recently?

There are no programs that work jtesnani, it doesn't boot up at all. I don't get any access to the springboard.

I haven't changed anything Eurisko, i'm pretty sure it was Extended Preferences app. After that, **** just hit the fan

Any other ideas?

Oh btw, after like 10 resets, it just stops reseting itself and just freezes. So I can't properly make a backup

Problem is the extended preferences App replaces the built in Settings App, so if Springboard is having a problem with it... bam. Since you can't get into SSH, I'm afraid it's a restore for you my friend.

Ok so im at the stage of restoring. I just restored my 2G iPhone to 2.1.0

Now im at the part when I QuickPwn but the little blue arrow won't show up. QuickPwn won't detect my iPhone :S iTunes recognizes it but QuickPwn doesn't so I have no idea what is wrong.

Anyone know a fix?
