Hi, ok I ve been trying to fix my jailbroken Iphone 4s for the past 3 days STRAIGHT!!

Cydia had some updates, and I just simply clicked update, my iphone 4s respringed but before it did, I remember everything successful updating on cydia except 1 thing that did say error, it immediately shut off, went to the Apple logo screen and FROZE.

My iphone 4s froze on apple logo screen for 10 min and than it goes to the spinning wheel and than freezes there, and than shuts off on its own and than turns back on to the apple logo and does it all over again...

I ve searched everywhere to fix my phone besides restoring it. I have too much i cant loose on my phone, and apparently itunes didnt back it up because it shows my ipad as the last back up.

I really really need my phone to work again..
I found out you can ssh, but my phone doesnt read in my computer and I didnt have SSH installed..
I tried Tiny Umbrella to remove it out of recovery it does nothing...
I dont know what else to do, but I know there has to be a way to get in root access of my iphone 4s.

I also used Absinthe Untethered Jail break.

Please help me
thankyou
 
Last chance is safe mode. Power up, and as soon as you see the apple boot logo hold volume up button.

The take away. Everything is running fine on mine so I never update anything, only if there is a PROVEN fix or new feature. Also backup everything. Good luck.

Edit: See that your in DFU, I saw someone on YouTube press and hold the home, power and vol up button to get to boot, worth a shot.

Try and see if iFunbox can detect your phone (put your phone out of DFU mode). If it can, then get all the stuff you need on your phone out of there and on your computer

Or you can just copy the entire directory just in case before you restore your phone

Good luck!

Edit: try this if holding volume up while booting doesn't fix your problem
 
I use a mac, I use a program called, "iPhone Explorer." You can see the root files. I can't remember quite vividly, but I think I was able to connect a reboot-looping 3gs to iphone Explorer and view the files but I can't remember. Try it or any other computer application/program to give you a user interface of the root file folder system.
