Whenever I reset it just sits on the apple screen. If I plug it into a computer it loads up. I know I don't have a tethered bootrom though. If I turn it off and leave it for a while and then try starting it again it seems to work fine again or when I go through SBSettings to reset.
Got a tip for us?

what do you mean by "resetting"? theres hard resets, soft resets, homescreen resets, network resets, setting resets, etc. please elaborate.
Not nearly enough info...
iPhone type ? (2G, 3G or 3GS)
Firmware version ? (3.1.x)
Baseband ? (4.26.xx or 5.11.xx)
Jailbroken ? JB by what tool ?
Unlocked ? Unlocked by what tool ?
If you are sure your 3GS doesn't have the new bootrom, then I would guess it's a bad jailbreak.
Restore to official Apple IPSW then re-JB.
As an alternative to Blackra1n, Redsn0w 0.9 (beta) and Sn0wBreeze (can't believe I typed that) are also options.
I'm positive. I made sure I didn't have a tethered jailbreak before I jailbroke the iphone. And I'd imagine that it wouldn't only happen when restarting. It seems to start fine when using SBSettings to restart. Only problem comes up when I need to hard reset.
So is it locking up when you press the hold/power button or when you do a hard restart of the phone itself?
If you are then you probably have a tethered 3GS or some sort of weird jailbreak problem.
