Jailbreak Apps won't open.

For a 3G, you should have Jailbroke with Redsn0w and unlocked with Ultrasnow

Go to iClarified and get a tutorial for 3G and follow it exactly.

If you ran yellowsnow, that could be why your apps are not working. That is for older devices (2G phones)

You will have to restore your phone first. There is a sticky here for that (top of page) Do not upgrade to 3.1.

 

Hey,

I've got this same problem on the 3g 4.01 software. How did you solve in the end?

I jailbroke with Redsn0w and it seemed to complete fine. I've restored and tried jailbreaking again but still got the same problem.

Apps like iNoRotate, asbattery and sbsettings work fine just apps that have their own icon open then shut down.

I've tried hard reset etc.

Cydia seems to work OK.

Thanks for the help

 

Did you check to see if the apps are 4.0.1 compatible ?

 

I am also having the same problem. I have rejailbroke it numerous times from different programs. I have come to the conclusions that 3G's just suck and the 4/4.0.1 operating systems only run well on 3GS's and 4G's.

 

Thanks for the responses.

No, I didn't check if they were 4.01 compatible. It's the first time I've jailbroken my phone so I don't know how to check - is there a way to check in Cydia? I figured as apps that don't have their own icon were working it was something else wrong.

 

Not sure is this is still being kept up to date or not

 

Hello!

I'm also new to jailbreaking and I'm having the exact same problem. My iphone was fine for a week or so and last night I downloaded a few apps from Cydia (Activator, AptBackup, Back to top contact, biteSMS, Bytafont, CyDelete,...) and now whenever I try to open a non Cydia app (like the facebook app for instance), it looks like it's launching but it goes back to the SB... The apps still show in the list when I double click the home button so they are not completely closed.

Has anyone managed to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Claire.

 

Sounds like you need to connect it to a computer and all should be well again with your iTunes account.

Open the iTunes app (not itunes on the browser, but the actual application)
click "store"
click "authorize computer"
follow the instructions
when finished sync your iphone
