Hmm, looks like my earlier problem has become academic. My last attempt to run Eraser to completion appeared to have crashed, but after rebooting the device I now find that
  • Cydia and all the other jailbreaks seem to have gone
  • Apps seem to be in place
  • All other settings seem to be in place too
Is there any way I can find out what state the phone is now in?
The original problem is still there (i.e. Messages and Facetime don't work, the 'iMessage Your carrier may charge...' message appears regularly).

The device is clearly not in a factory restore state, but also the jailbreaks seem to have gone.

I erased with Eraser 0.9.18, since the most recent version produced error 1410 - could this have led to this situation, or has something gone wrong during the erasing?

But the most important question now is: how to proceed?
  1. Would it be safe, with the phone in this apparent unjailbroken state, to "Erase all contents and settings" from the iPhone Settings? Is there a way to find out?
  2. If not, should I try to rejailbreak it in this state, and start again with the Erasure process?
  3. Or should I really give up, and restore the device to 9.3.5 and forget about the jailbreak?
Any advice very welcome. Thanks!
