iPhone evasi0n trouble and troubleshooting [MERGED]

Turned off my 4s and went to turn it back on and it's stuck on the apple logo...won't boot up. Time to restore

I found one hell of an annoying bug .

When you open simple folders there is now a 3 second delay before it opens . Happens occasionally .

Keep trying to reboot. Took me three tries before it worked.

Glad it worked. Definitely a bug that needs to be addressed.

I think I'll keep trying sporadically and hopefully get lucky like some of you. No luck on winterboard so far.

What's continue queuing mean anyway?

So far weather app working fine. iPhone 5 Verizon coming from 6.1 via iTunes.

Winterboard

I installed Winterboard on my iphone 5 with ios 6.1 installed. The springboard crashes immediately and I get the "Exit Safe Mode" message on the top of my phone. After un-installing winterboard, I still get the same message. Anyone else have the same problem? How do I get rid of this? Should I run the JB again?
...edit...Boover is causing the crash. Didn't really need it...

worked just fine, I got an error the first try then it worked perfectly.

Mine is crashing on 10.8.2

Any ideas?

Stuck on Jail Break process

I'm on Win7 and IP5 and am stuck on the jailbreaking process (about 70% complete) and it just hangs on there for about 30minutes.

I read the ReadMe file on the evasion folder to start the process again if it gets stuck, which I did, twice. Still did not work and my phone now reads the wrong time with the jailbreak icon. Tried to open the jailbreak icon and it just crashes.

Also tried to do a restore from BackUp in Itunes but it told me that an error occurred at about the last minute before it finishes restoring.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

All good on my ipad3 wifi only model, and I had to re-restore my iphone 4(gsm) 16gb back to 6.1 a second time to get a blank restore, which I followed evasion faq properly, and it jb it right the second time.

Not so much trouble with evasi0n here - my JB worked good.

However, I'm noticing that now my Safari Private Browsing isn't well.. private. The history etc seems to be there. Not in the "history" section, but when I start typing in a URL etc I'm seeing history. Anyone else notice this?

I also had one crash into Safe Mode.. any ideas how I can access a log etc to figure out which app caused it?

Have you looked on your iphone 5 for the jailbreak icon and pressed it, do not disconnect the usb cable, the status bar on the computer then should complete.

Jailbroken but can't install anything, weather app issue

Well, I jailbroke succesfully, but can't install any tweaks from Cydia. When refreshing the changes page, I get numerous fetch errors. Attempting to download anything (I have tried ISkyPhoneI_GPRS, Auxo, Infinidock, Winterboard) results in a Hash Sum Error.

Weather crashes as soon as it opened. Most other apps seem to be working fine (though I have not installed any purchased ones).

Ipod 4G restored to 6.1 and then jailbroken using evasi0n.

My weather app is also crashing immediately. I can't dowoad a single tweak from Cydia either. Is it just because way too many people are on it? Do I need to restore my iPhone and then reinstall the jailbreak?

Is Siri broken for anyone else? I can say "text mike" and it will bring up the contact. Siri says "what do you want to say to mike" and then I don't get the chime to speak and the Siri wheel just spins and the phone will not respond to anything and I have to reboot

I have a feeling a lot of these issues are related to people doing the following:

- Using OTA updates
- Updating and not restoring in iTunes
- Having a passcode during the jailbreak process
- Touching/using the iPhone during the jailbreak process

If this applies to you, DFU restore to 6.1 while you can, and reattempt!

Are you talking about the weather app not working? And getting caught on boot logo issue?

Because I jailbroke the first time, did it according to instructions. Had no passcode, didnt play with phone during process... had mentioned above issues.

So I restored, set up as new, jailbroke following the same procedure, and still the same result.

Im not trying to say that it's not my fault, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've jailbroken a trillion times.

I did everything I was supposed to do and I am still getting the majority of these issues on my iPhone 5.

Posting elsewhere sorry

im stuck at the apple and my lock buton is broken. help anyone

Not sure what was going on, but after finally being able to download something (Winterboard), I had to reboot the device. Got stuck at the apple logo. Did a hard reset, got stuck at the apple logo again. I connected the phone to computer, held both power and home buttons down till iTunes recognized it. Hit restore and update and it did its thing for a minute and I got a message saying that it couldn't restore because of the build. I did a hard reset two more times and I finally saw the unlock screen. Everything was still intact prior to the reboot and Winterboard was on the home screen.

Yes, that worked. The instructions told me to take a stretch so I never read the onscreen instructions.

Thanks.

Anyone else got screen brightness issues? Everytime I unlock my phone, my screen is way too dim, then I have to open up NCSettings and fix it. Any ideas?

Edit: Actually, it's not just when I unlock. THe screen brightness drops to VERY dim all the time...
