Hi guys. I recently jailbroke my phone to 3g via blackra1n. It was working great, it took me a couple of times to get it done, but I did end up getting it done. I have been using it for about a week, worked fine. Installed a few apps from the app store, a few themes from Cydia, then... (dramatic music) :p I tried to install swirlymms. I installed it and rebooted (as it prompted me to do) and it never came back on. It would show the apple screen for about 10 seconds, then it does straight to black. Tried opening iTunes, and even iTunes won't recogize it. Now I'm trying to rejailbreak, but it keeps going to the blackra1n graphic, then it says wait for reboot and nothing happens?!?! I am just posting to see if anyone has had this similar problem and why the effers this would happen. Any advice on why I'm having a difficult time jailbreaking this time would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Try entering DFU mode and restoring it

I had similar problems with my iphone, once they updated blackra1n it worked. Make sure your using the latest version.

I got it jailbroken again. Thankfully.

Any idea on why this happened? I really want a way to send picture messaging, but jeezus, I don't want to jailbreak it everytime I catch a bad app. :rolleyes:
