ok so I am trying to restore to 4.2.1 option click on a downloaded software but the bloody thing is sorta stuck at a bit past 1/2 way on the phone and on itunes it shows restoring iphone software and the bar shows its just about done but stuck there its been doing this more than an hour...and I have tried to stop the process and do it again but same thing making no progress.
nvm i managed to edit some host file and got it to work but everything works except youtube... I know it was ok before I loaded back all my apps, I use pkgbackup... I have deleted some to no effect but i have sooo many to delete and re-add one by one.. any ideas or clues? I tried OTA wifi sync.. even pkg backup itself no effect still opens and closes right away.
I don't know, but it's probably for the best. The built in youtube.app is trash. Go to settings>general>restrictions and select youtube to off.
Now every time you click a youtube link it will open in safari instead of the native app. It's so much better.

really eh? it just bothers me that something i downloaded is causing me problems.. who knows what it might mess with later on..or i havent noticed but i took note i am not gonna restore from package this time and just try n reinstall one by one if i can remb
if i am installing from scratch why would there be cookies LOL... but anyways i am cautiously installing my jailbreak/cracked apps one by one and check youtube app right after so far so good. i am avoiding the ones that involved wifi and 3g and such.
see I thought it was that but no... i have tried that... tried OTA wifi sync auto 3g.... so far i have been putting them back one by one.... yourtube2....installed fine.. auto 3g fine.. only thing i havent installed I think is wifi sync... but i cannot be sure i had alot of stuff loaded.. but
basically I restored the phone... after much difficulty...had to edit the hosts file.. as final resort/discovery. I deleted itunes first and also tried tinyumbrella and some other program but it was stuck in recovery modem.... Nothing worked till after I edited the host files with the # thingy.
And after restoring all from back up AND also restoring cydia and cracked apps from pkgbackup... youtube app stopped working again.. so i know it was something in there that didnt work...
so i had redo it again.. this time I hav wifisync and pkgbackup left out... I dont wanna even try one of those in case it might be it.. and who knows maybe unintalling it wont fix it because of some permanent software error it has created and i have to do this all over again..
so if anyone has discovered exactly what it is....let me know...coz its not yourtube i have it now and its fine atm anyways
THANKS !!!! for all the responses..l
