DFU restore to 6.1. You probably didn't upgrade to the current iOS 6 firmware you are on properly.

Then reattempt the jailbreak without restoring from a backup.
 
Mine is not so much with the BiteSms. Its whenever I download "Activator", my phone resprings and puts my phone into an endless "Safe Mode".

I tried holding the power and home button til I see the apple logo reappears but it puts it back to Safe Mode again.

I also tried turning off my phone and turning it back on, only to find out that Im stuck on the Apple logo and the only way to bypass that is to press the home and power again until the apple logo reappears which then puts me back into Safe Mode.

So I ended up uninstalling "Activator"


Anyone else having problem similar to this?
 
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.

Same, it needs to be plugged in to reboot on all three of my devices. All restores to 6.1. Hopefully it'll be fixed via Cydia or an update to the program.

I see you telling this to people that we must have done something wrong.

Am I to understand that your jailbreak is working flawlessly?

I'm not saying people did it wrong, but more often than not people shoot first and ask questions later.

I have never had stability issues with a jailbreak, but perhaps people are having issues with certain packages because they haven't yet been updated to support iOS 6.1, or that particular device. The jailbreak, from my experience thus far (aside from the weather app) is very stable and reliable.

Seeing as I followed the exact recommendations of the jailbreak developers, that being to restore in iTunes prior to jailbreaking, and mine works flawlessly, perhaps people should follow those directions :)
 
So if you reboot your iPhone (not shut down and turn on, but reboot, like thee reboot command from NCSettings), while not plugged in, it works fine? Because from what I've seen, a tremendous amount of people have this issue, and it isn't from installing packages. The good news is that it's an annoyance, as being plugged in to a power source allows a reboot, as does booting to safe mode, then shutting down and turning back on, but this is a bug somewhere in the code. Seems to only affect iPhones, however.

Oh, and I did the exact same thing you did to jailbreak my 5.
 
depends where you guys are downloading bitesms from, maybe your downloading an older version thats not compatible with ios6
 
I've noticed that it only happens when I respring. If I shut down and turn on my iPhone without having resprung before then it turns on normally.

Hopefully they come out with a fix on cydia.
