I downloaded VLC app from app store and got one of those annoying "the terms of Apple's fifedom have changed" messages. In the ensuing snafu I managed to install it twice but one of the icons was shaded out. I decided to do a hard reset and boom - all of my folders were fubar'd. 10 minutes in iTunes and the folders are back to how I remember them.
So that was 2 or 3 days ago and the phone was acting up a little this morning so I did another hard reset and KABOOM - I'm in the "connect to iTunes" restore loop. I tried all of the Jailbreak style restores to no avail - it would get stuck at 70% or so. Finally a shift to a different mac enabled me to restore to an iOS 4.1 - I'd given up all hope of retaining my jailbreak at that point.
The good news is that greenpois0n installed flawlessly and the 2 Cydia apps that I depend on - Lockinfo and tetherme - pretty much retained all settings.
All in all a pretty good outcome to a rather alarming day!
