Have You encountered problems with the iPhone after jailbreaking it?


Feel free to comment about the problems you've had with it. Not for Touch, though.
 
Not only did I experience problems, I thought my phone was seriously borked. It went into a never ending reboot cycle, and it was all I could do to get it to turn off. Once I got it turned off, I was able to restore to 1.1.4, so there was no permanent damange.....other than to my courage regarding homebrew on my iPhone. Needless to say, I've decided to stay un-jailbroken for the time being.

I used ZiPhone....that may have been my downfall.
 
I had to do a full restore this morning. I'd been jailbroken for quite a while with no problems but then I found a way to get customize to work. I got up this morning, went to check my email and the at&t, edge symbol, time and battery indicator were all bunched together in the right corner and my screen was unresponsive while in any of the applications. Its weird cuz everything was working fine when I docked it last night (wall outlet; no contact with my computer).
The restore went fine and I figure I might as well leave it for now with the new firmware release so close.

Hey man.. lots and lots of problems...

Unable to decide what to install and what to not via installer 😉
 
Ja, I have. Nothing that 10 minutes with iTunes didn't fix though 😉

Pretty much any issue can be fixed with some creative hacking (/me puts on his white hat) or, if it's really horrid, a restore.
 
No problems over here (coming from 1.0.2 up to 1.1.4), I couldn't love the hacked part of my iPhone more.
 
need help please

hello everyone.
i just bought a new iphone 8g 1.1.4 and it was unlocked 'im on T mobile' phone was fine then today i decided to jailbreak it with ziphone 3.0 i clicked on jail break button and waited about 5 min with loads of writing coming up on the screen then it just stopped the last thing it says is 101PODUSBDEVICE STARTIPODSTACK CAN'T START! NEED CONFIGURATION" and i left it like this for about 15min with no change so i unplugged my iphone from the usb and held down both buttons to restart and when i turn the iphone back on it says the same thing, if anyone out there could help me i need it, sorry also i tunes wont recognize the iphone nor will my mac
 
Originally used Ziphone but decided to try iLiberty. iLiberty went smoothly, but now my camera and photos apps do not work, along with a slew of other issues. I'm restoring back to factory settings and forgetting about jailbreaking.
 
Yes, but nothing a restore couldn't fix. Unlocking is a different story, however; I had some hellish experiences with 1.0.2 and revirginizing for 1.1.1.
