As many of you know, I've been suffering with ALoD (Apple Logo of Death) issues since July 11th. I've finally discovered the root cause of this problem, as well as a solution. I'm pasting a quote below from "Mandrake" on another forum which explains in some detail why this problem occurs, how it actually can affect ANYONE running 2.0 software, and how jailbreaking is the only known way to recover.
After suffering through 40 restores (due to ALoDs) between July 11th and August 15-ish, I haven't had to do a single one since - the reason? I finally got up the nerve to PWN my new iPhone 3G. With OpenSSH installed, recovering from an ALoD event takes just a few minutes, with no data loss or settings lost, nothing - it's VERY easy.
Ironic, isn't it? The only way to avoid having to spend 3-4 hours restoring your phone every time an ALoD occurs is to jailbreak. Put another way: in this situation, the only way to have a functional phone is to void the warranty.
Good job, Apple.

this problem only occurs on phones that are jailbroken
my phone didnt get this problem until i jailbroken
during the initial reboot after jailbreaking this occured
i got this
so if you jailbreak, clear all the apps off your phone first, then jailbreak, then resync
im not saying theres not a problem with your phone, cuz there is, but its not this problem
(the reason this fix works for you know is because, well now it is the problem you have cuz your phone is jailbroken)

Actually, I haven't had the problem since 2.1, jailbroken or not. They fixed it, at least for me.

That and I got ALoD all the time even not jailbroken. I would get it when installing apps and updates for apps. It definitely wasn't a jailbreak problem.
But yeah, ALoD is fixed on >2.1
Also, whats with this crap:

I have posted from my iPhone and never seen that. I know you don't paste it in there if you ARE in fact posting from an iPhone, due to the lack of copy/paste. How and why do you make that show up?
