PLEASE HELP i have an iPhone 3gs. 3 weeks ago i tried to update my ios, at that time i didn't no my phone had previously been jail broken. once i tried to do this my phone shut down, so i paid to have it jail broken and downgraded as apparently this was they only way to get it back on. It worked fine (even though it was only on ios 4.1) then yesterday i was playing a game and the screen crashed, it switched off and hasn't went passed the apple logo since. i don't want to have to pay again, How can i get it back on and also how do i get it on a better ios as it was on a higher one to begin with....

This is driving me nuts

You can try to reset your phone by holding down your home and sleep button at the same time.
If that doesn't help, assuming you've made a backup with iTunes at least once, you can try DFU mode;

DFU means Device Firmware Update. When placing your iPhone into DFU Mode it does not load the OS before attempting the restore

1. Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your PC/Mac.
2. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.


3. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
The iPhone screen will remain black.

By now you should be able to restore an earlier backup.

I have a question. I have a 1st gen Ipod Touch for the time being, and I was wondering, what type of games or applications can I download for it? And I asking for pre-jailbreak, and post-jailbreak.

I don't think you will have much luck running many apps on an iPod Touch 1G. Most apps are made for iOS 5 at least nowadays. And there's even less tweaks that will work for your device because tweaks break a lot during updates.

that sucks. Well, I'll just jailbreak it and see which apps I can find. But thanks for the help Saga and ProudLoz .

You're better off jailbreaking it and finding versions of the apps that you want that are compatible with iOS3. I'm in the same situation with my iPod Touch 1st gen. Unfortunately its just so slow now that I don't bother loading anything else onto it.

So the iOS 6 jailbreak works now(untethered) and it should be out within the next week. I'm ready to jailbreadk my iPhone 5.

I have been hearing that it is really possible that we may get the jailbreak this weekend, but I don't think the dev team themselves has confirmed anything.

Hopefully we will really get it. Been waiting for a long time.
