iPhone 3G won't boot

[Amraam]

Hey all,

Was installing/uninstalling several apps from the app store and I decided to reboot the iPhone. Now, when I'm trying to turn it on, the apple logo appears as normal but then disappears after bout 10 seconds. I'm stuck with an iPhone that won't boot.

Now before I go restoring to 3.1.2 and rejailbreaking, is there anything else I can do? There are several pictures and other things I really don't want to lose

Also, I'm at work, so should I install iTunes 9.0? I'm under the impression that anything newer will break jailbreaks?

Thanks!

i had the same problem today. just finishing up restoring with a custom.ipsw. sux. i think its something to do with a jailbroken app that was tinkered with and updated to accommodate the ipad.

yeah that sounds familar. I'd had problems with cydia for a few weeks previously, and I was removing a load of cydia and appstore apps. I had been planning on restoring and updating as I was only on 3.0, just a shame I had to lose my pics and videos etc.

Is your phone charged?

Wait, scratch that.

Try installing the newest iTunes, it may help.

Aye it was fully charged, i just wouldn't switch back on after a shut down.

I thought the latest iTunes breaks jailbreaks?

Its OK anyway, I shift restored to 3.1.2 and rejailbroke with blackra1n.
