I have an iPhone 3GS old bootrom running iOS 5 un-tethered.

I was checking for updates on Cydia. When i pressed "update all" and the updates were finished, Cydia told me to re-spring.
when the iPhone respringed, it was stuck on a white spinning wheel and then the wheel froze.

I tried:
1. Rebooting: The iPhone reboots, the apple logo appears, then the same wheel again.
2. Restoring: I used Redsn0w to get a Pwned DFU mode and then tried restoring from iTunes with a custom iOS 5 made by Sn0wbreeze v2.8b8, but every time it says "Preparing iPhone for restore" and then the iPhone boot and gets stuck on the frozen wheel and iTunes gets me a 1646 error !!

So, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry 4 my English, not my native language.


Problem Solved by repeating step 2 again and again for 5 times :)
