ugh... any ideas? how long do I let it sit at the apple logo before giving up?
 
Don't release either button until you see the apple logo. My Ip5 hung at the logo 4 times until it finally booted correctly. Keep trying.

Just did a full power down and power back on to test, and it's back doing the endless Apple Logo.. this is not acceptable. :-(

My 4S jailbroken on 6.1 does the same.

But it seems to be rebooting fine now.

Although my weather app still crashes (fix is coming)

Does this mean I will have to re-jailbreak obviously?

Look I'm trying to help you but you're not listening to me; hold both buttons down. Don't let either button go until you see the White Apple logo....then release both buttons. DON'T HAVE THE PHONE PLUGGED IN

I did a hard boot and it sat at apple logo for 10+ mins. Did this twice. Third time it booted within 2 mins.
 
I had absolutely no issues installing BiteSMS...

As others have suggested, I'd just keep trying hard reboots until eventually you slide in. That's extremely awkward.... :\

BiteSMS is the only Cydia app I've been able to download so far. :) No issues yet.
 
Same. After a couple reboots I can't get it to hang on the apple logo again so the issue appears to have resolved with hard reset. :)
 
I'm having this issue as well with being stuck at the apple logo on start up. I attempted to download bitesms but got an error and decided I would reboot my phone and here I am.

I just did my first hard reset and it seems to still be stuck at the apple logo... kinda getting nervous.
 
Hard reset while plugged in will fix it, as will a hard reset then holding volume up(but the latter will boot to safe mode ) shut down and turn back on to exit safe mode.
 
Thanks for the tip. Got it to work.

I'm probably going to hold off attempting to download anything else from cydia till tomorrow in hopes things will be running more smoothly.
 
Yeah, I'm thinking partial cydia downloads are tying things up on the reboots.
 
Nope, it's an issue with the jailbreak. It happens on my phone with every reboot, but luckily, if you need to reboot, you can just plug in or just do a quick safe boot.
 
Just to chime in here. Exact same issue. Just jailbroke and installed BiteSMS. I was able to reboot once fine, but I tried again and it hung at the Apple logo for 10 mins.

I did the hard reset (hold power and home until the Apple logo appears), and it booted up in a minute or so. I was also plugged in to a power source that time, but I'm not sure that mattered.

Yeah mine still does that on and off. Sometimes when I turn my 4S off and back on it reboots fine, but sometimes it gets caught up on Apple logo and I have to hard reset. Been doing that since I jailbroke this morning.

Same here. I tried rebooting after seeing this thread and it was a no go. No tweaks installed yet, just the jailbreak. The only way I was able to successfully boot was to plug it in.
