Constant Safe Mode after 3.1 upgrade

[bored911]

So I did a google search and found out that winterboard was probably causing this problem, and the update to mobile substrate would fix it. Well that came and went with no help, and i'm stuck without winterboard for the moment. Is there anything else that might have caused this?

Did you try going into cydia in safe mode to see if the update is still there?

 

[bored911]

Yeah, 0.9.3043-1, confirmed as the newest with saurik's twitter updates. Tried reinstalling both that and winterboard, with no luck.

Do you have weathericon installed? That was causing safe mode for me.

 

[bored911]

Nope, but i just compiled a list of things dependant on mobile substrate.

They are:
Winterboard

SBSettings
Backgrounder
Bosspaper
Cydelete
Five Icon Dock
iPodPop
gPower
libhide
maps enhancer
PreferenceLoader
PrivaCy
StatusNotifier
Supreme Prefrences 3.0
Tlert
VOIPover3G


WOW, a lot more than I thought. It would take forever to uninstall/reinstall all this, so does anyone know if any of these specifically are causing any problems. If not I guess i'll have to do it by hand but that would be a last resort.

Heh...now I see this. I suppose that's what did it for me, though I uninstalled mobilesub and it took all the fun stuff with it...cydelete etc etc. Oh well, live and learn...

When I reinstalled winterboard I was getting an incompatibility warning about Rock apps so you might want to uninstall rock and tlert.

i think its 5 icon dock thats causing the problem, due to being able to arrange the icons on itunes it can't handle it.

IT WORKED!!! Good call, my iPhone and I greatly appreciate it!

Safe Mode

I have the latest 3.1 with winterboard and initially I was getting the same symptom "Safe Mode" activated. I restored again and then loaded one Cydia app at at time to try to isolate which one was the menace. Load the primary packages first. Then the nice to have stuff. The bad app for me was the Glasklart Live Clock of which I believe there might be other Live Clock apps out there causing the same prob. It's been about a week now and no safe mode issues. Got the latest Cydia updates which I presume may have helped, i.e, mobilesubstrate and what not. It's all a hit and miss when you make an upgrade early on. The Cydia apps writers have to play catch-up to stabilize and verify that their apps are stable on the new OS (This takes Time!). So for us early OS adopters and jailbreakers...it comes with the turf!🙂

I haven't had an issue with the 5 icon deck...FYI. Working fine on 3.1.

Sorry Gents, I meant to say Live Weather App "Not Clock"...

Wouldn't it be nice if everything just worked...lol. Unfortunately on our part, we have to have patience and ingenuity and work to solve our own problems most of the time. Thank god there is a Forum of people like us to troubleshoot and work these things out! Cheers...🙂
