i have a 1.1.3 ziphone jailbroken iphone. Everything was working just fine until today. After I try yo install a couple of new app and quit the installer. the springboard starts to refresh w/ spinning wheel and then it stuck. I try reset it and it show the apple logo and spinning wheel again. I know I can delete the application file using ssh to get it work, but i can't install new app then...is there anyway to fix it? other than restore it?
I hacked an otb 1.1.3 with the zibri utility 2.0 - no problems.
I upgraded an iPhone that was purchased during the first 3 weeks to 1.1.3 with the zibri utility 2.0 - no problems.
I tried another otb 1.1.3 with the zibri utility 2.1 - all was well until I tried installing new apps. Then I had the apple logo / reboot problem.
I fixed this by running the zibri utility again and selecting "activate" only (tick the box from the gui or use -a from the command line; both do the trick).
Unfortunately I gave the phone back to its owner - so I do not know if this must be done after every install or if it was a one time thing.
It did solve the problem and the phone was immediately usable.
I see that the zibri 2.3 utility is out... perhaps this works better...
Best of luck.
