Now I'm apparently stuck on Apple logo loop and the phone is restarting all the time.This is the iPhone that was exchanged for my faulty one, and unfortunately I didn't do the SHSH backup to saurik's server on this one.Is there any way, that I will be able to use 3.1.2 on it and do JB/UL? Or at least UL?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo i wanted to get rid of my jailbreak, my phone would crash all the time most of my apps, so i got it to erase all the data and settings, but its taking forever. Should it take so long? After i clicked it, it restarted, then the apple icon came up and a loading bar. About 2 of them pass, then the little loading spiral thingy came up and it goes round, then stops, then goes some more, stops. Then it restarts and does it again.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy iphone 4 is giving problem (insensitive button and poor connectivity, probably antennae problem). I intend to exchange it as it is still under extended warranty.
How can I back-up and erase the data on the phone before surrendering it? I am afraid I will loose data eg from yahoo mail/calendar/contacts, as well as from Evernote, Appbox Pro, Spending app. Currently, I back up the phone through itunes on my PC, and copy photos to my PC using the microsoft camera wizard.
With icloud switched on (on my iphone 4s), if I erase all content and settings will this erase whats stored on icloud. (my phone is faulty and getting replaced and I need to erase everything before it goes away.

So I have a 3gs running 4.0.1 jailbroken. I'm selling the phone tomorrow so I just did a phone reset and selected erase all data and contacts and such, and now when attempting to start up it freezes on the apple logo when the spinner thing is going around.Am I screwed and have to upgrade to 4.1 now? Tried to put into DFU mode and reinstall 4.0.1 but obviously apple doesn't allow that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've never logged in the Apple site on a laptop before - I have been getting the same message 'Unable to verify iCloud account' every time I try and erase all data and content from my iPhone 4s. When I go to iCloud on my laptop and sign in using my Apple ID it signs me in. These are the same log in details I am prompted for when trying to erase all data/content from the phone.

I'm probably gonna get flamed, but here goes.I have a 32 3GS that I jailbroke with Spirit for 3.1.3. I got my new iP4 and wanted to reset the phone with out getting away from 3.1.3 (so I could rejailbreak super easy for sale). I did "Reset all Data and Settings" under the settings menu. From what I understand, this would erase all music, videos, email accounts, texts, ect and also erase everything from the JB, themes, apps, mods, ect.
Basically reset it back to 3.1.3 stock, without using iTunes.I was under the impression this would take somewhere between 1 - 2 hrs. But the Apple logo and Progress Bar showed up, the Bar filled up after a minute or two and the phone restarted. It then sat at the Apple logo for over 10 minutes before I noticed. I assumed it was "bricked" and attempted to go into DFU mode. When I would hold down the SLeep and Home buttons the Apple Logo would disappear and phone would turn off, but then immediately attempt to restart without me doing anything. So DFU button combo didn't do anything, I also tried Recovery mode to no avail. Is sitting at the Apple Boot Logo forever supposed to be part of this process? Anything else I can do? I am thinking of letting the batt just die completely and recharging it and hoping that will break the endless reboot so I can DFU or Recovery mode the thing.
i want to know if 10 failed attempts restores the iphone 4s to factory setting n and takes off icloud account?

My one week old e72 came with a scratch under the glass. I have been a bit worried that any pressure on the phone in the future might lead the screen to crack, so to be on the safe side I am having the handset replaced straight away by my mobile network. I am expecting a doorstep exchange in the morning, and they will collect the old phone all boxed up and provide a new sealed e72 in the box.So, I need to delete all my information from the handset and memory card. So far I have formatted the memory card and done a factory reset from the phone menu, then a factory reset as detailed in another thread I found on here (* +3 + call).

in order to perform a hard reset, the phone has to be turned off, and I can't do that because of the dead screen. My phone still has close to full battery though, so I'm waiting for it to drain off slowly... My question is, will the phone turn on automatically when I eventually charge it with a dead battery.

View 7 Replies View Related I have installed the latest version of PC Suite and the Upgrade Program. It links correctly with my 5800 Express Music Phone and updated the Firmware succesfully. However I can no longer play MP4 videos on Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media Centre. I did not tick any of the association boxes when installing the software. Only the playback of MP4 files is affected. I was able to transfer a Video to the Phone. I have tried re-associated mp4 files back to wmp but still no luck. I have ended up uninstalling the Suite and doing a System Restore to get back functionality.
I liked the Suite very much but if it causes problems with my Media Centre and wmp there is no use installing it. I would very much appreciate any suggestions on how to sort out this problem and what may be causing it. OS is Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit version. I am connecting the phone via the USB Cable.
When I turn on the cellular data option the personal hotspot function bar appears with the wording "Personal Hotspot" and the wheel appears and goes around and around forever. If I turn the iPhone off and back on (with cellular data turned on) then the personal hotspot bar appears with the wording "Set up Personal Hotspot" and not wheel spinning. When the wheel is spinning I assume that processing is going on and using battery, not good! By the way I do not use the personal hotspot function.

In the last few months I have realised my data is being munched at an alarming rate. I have and Iphone 5s (16gb). So much so I try and turn all my data for apps off when not in use.After monitoring it for a few months and keeping location settings and everything else turned off the majority of the time. Today I noticed on my journey home from work (approx 1hr) that under Settings > Mobile > System Services there is a Media Services section. This went up in the space of 20 mins from 110kb to 98.1 MB. Now this clearly cant be correct, it is also nothign to do with any apps as they have seperate usage next to each icon on the page before. hat 'Media Services' is?
