    Default My phone is working again after 3 weeks, my story

    so my JBed and unlocked 3GS was stuck on the Apple logo loop of death. I was on 3.0.1 and everything was running smooth untill my GPS signal just died and never came back. restored my phone and JBed again. all was well.

    a few days later Safari was scrolling strangely. the screen jittered when scrolling when it should normally be smooth as buttah. ok no biggie, just reboot. <BUZZER SOUND>

    wrong answeer. the phone got stuck in the loop again BUT i had no idea that Apple has stopped sogning 3.0 and 3.01. i was SOL.

    i had read about not updating so there my phone sat. an expensive black brick. so no being able to restore to anything but 3.1, i tried every remedy under the sun that the net had to offer. SShing in, changin, moving stuff, different button combiation pressing. redsn0wing, purplera1ning again.

    nothing

    finally i tried irecovery which if i had used first, might have saved me. after all my monkey buisness the phone finally got to the home screen, cool right? <BUZZER SOUND>

    wrong.

    the phone had only 2 icons. youtube, and cydia. both crashed immediately. no other icon, no the phone, not ipod, zilch.

    after around 3 weeks i think the Pwnage tool was released, too bad i have only PC.

    luckily i found a customized IPSW to download and it worked beautifully, but i had no signal. installed ultrasn0w and my phone was back!

    I want to send a special thanks out to all the people who helped make this happen.

    guys here like XsemophoreX, iGuru, L00i3, and the Dev Team of course!

    you guys f-ing ROCK!

    Congrats man, glad you are back in business and life in jailbreak land is good again.

    I wish upgrading to 3.1 wouldn't have killed my MMS.
