Just A WARNING!!! DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOURCE!!!

EDIT...the app called DOCK is what destroyed my iPhone

[CENTER]Here I am, trying to find some GBA/ or NES roms sources for my iPhone. I use google to search for some working one sand found this source: http://iappcat.com/r/7866
  • I then add it to installer's sources
  • Refresh sources
  • Go to "lot of sources n stuff"
  • Then install the first GBA Roms package
  • then outta no where is an update
  • so I then update it
  • (Seemed legit on the first update)
  • but then there's another update
  • it was only about 754kbs and it took very long just to start
  • So once it was done, I press the home button and now when I go to my apps, nothing executes

If I tried to go to the installer, it would pop up but I couldn't press anything.
Same story for all of my other apps.
So I then decide to restart it, and when it loads back up, then screen flashes with black and white stripes.
(At this point I'm pissed off) Because I know I got a virus on my iPhone!
So the screen automatically locks on the sleep mode and it's not even black. It just shows my lock screen and as the status bar it showed a "Mackie" logo. So I figured I'd just cut me losses and restore and re-jailbreak/activate and unlock it. Now I'm starting from scratch all because some person decided that they wanted to release malicious software to the iPhone community.

Again DO NOT ADD http://iappcat.com/r/7866 as a source!!!

in addition to what I stated above, I'm running on 1.1.4 and when you download the third installation (1.5.0? possibly) it takes forever just to get to the half point. and it's not even a big file.

sounds like a main script execution error problem, the guy hosting it probably just didn't put it together well, or it hasn't been updated to the way things are working now.

This sounds like what happens if you leave the Screenshot app by robota running when you respring your iPhone. Total catasrophe, you need to delete the Screenshot files in the /bin folder to fix things.

When I ran into this problem some time ago, I had left Screenshot on and switched out themes in Summerboard to take screenshots. I ended up respringing and seeing the white lines like mentioned here. To make matters worse, I could launch apps, but then I couldn't click any buttons inside the actual apps, just launch them :T

If this sounds like your problem, try to recall if you had Screenshot enabled.

Anyone can create a source of their liking at the iappcat.com website.

Go there register, for free, then look up gba roms put them in your profile and you will have a source like the one posted.

That's exactly what happened to me...
I did have screenshots enabled..
but once I tried to dl this package from iappcat it showed a small yellow light in the bottom right corner and I couldn't click any button in the apps once they launched.
I think everybody should be warned not to shut down the iPhone while downloading apps, even if they seem somewhat suspicious for taking a long time to dl.

The small sunburst in the bottom right hand corner is Dock, which already has problems with 1.1.3 and up. That's what screwed up your phone, not the source.

Avoiding shutting down your phone while installing is common sense, by the way.
