Annoying but it can be worked around

Hi.

I joined this forum just to tell you how i fix this problem.

Sometimes when i reboot my iphone i get the same annoying error. Its when the iphone reboots and loads the JB data, sometimes the data is loaded correctly and causes this little annoyance.

You need to reboot your phone again, sometimes this has to be done a few times. To turn it off just hold the Sleep/wake button and the home button in until the screen turns off. Boot back up and try it again. It could require more than 1 attempts but it does fix it eventually.

Let me know how it goes.

Does this only work with an untethered jailbreak? I've tried it with my iPod Touch 3g 32GB running iOS 5.0 with a tethered jailbreak, and its not working. I'm waiting for a new iPod cable to arrive, because my current one is quite suspect. Hopefully that will fix it

Another solution is that you can download tinyumbrella and enter recovery mode. After you press fix recovery, your iphone/ipod reboots, and while it reboots immediately do the steps to enter dfu mode.

turn it of, hold volume up than power it on while keeping volume up pushed during the boot cycle, yuo will boot in to safe-mode. from there try a normal start or you can go into cydia and uninstall any conflicting apps you installed lately.
