I had recently jailbroken my phone and it was working perfectly fine.

I download Installous from Cydia and installed many cracked apps (about 20). I was using one of them one day when all of a sudden, the iPhone froze.

I did a hard reboot and I turned it back on. All I saw after that was the apple logo, then the black screen before the password screen, and then the apple logo again with the spinning wheel. This pattern continued for a while. I tried several more hard reboots but the same problem continued.

I connected it to my computer and then tried turning it on and it worked for a while. I used the same app and the phone worked fine. However, when I locked my phone after that and tried to put my password in later, the phone froze. I did a hard reboot and the same pattern of logo, black, then logo w/ spinning wheel occurred. :(

Please help me. How do I fix this problem without doing an iTunes restore (I stupidly didn't back anything up.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I seem to have fixed the spinning wheel problem but a new one has come up. Whenever the iPhone is being used and is then put locked, upon start-up it freezes again and another hard reboot is required. Is there a way to fix this?

Also, what is BlackRain??
