You can download greenpois0n from greenpois0n.com and run that over pwnagetool... No need to restore or any, just run it. It is completely safe, and wont do any harm at all. All this will do, is enable the animated bootlogo.. let me know if this helps.
Why would you want the animated bootlogo anyway, it's only active for a little while before the device is functional, which suggests that the iOS itself has to be running for it to work, delaying the devices availability to the user further.
Well depending on how far u have got with reinstalling apps and things, u cud always download sn0wbreeze (windows port of pwnagetool) and activate the animated bootlogos through that. I kno its a bit of a long way round just to get them, but it does work. I swear by SB...
The end of the world will probably come first
I personally have never had a problem with sn0wbreeze... Do u require an unlock or anything? Or a hacktivation??
If u want i have a custom firmware, that i could send you. It has 2048 (2gig) root partition, and ha animated boot logos activated. I know this works, as im using it right this second
