Would you do everyone here a favor and tell us how you got the phone to restart after doing vpn?

I had some white icons last night when I jailbroke my ipad. They eventually came back. Maybe reboot it a time or two.

Got an error...
'The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll.'
I have located the file, this comes up when i try and load the profile to my iPad.

Any ideas?
Much appreciated

i do everystep til it says error in VPN settings then when i click ok, it doesnt reboot my device????????????????

Ok, I restored my phone via itunes. Itunes downloaded and installed some update (I had already updated to 5.0.1 via wifi. After the restore everything worked as should. I got the same VPN configuration error I was getting previously, but this time it rebooted when I hit ok. So maybe it just needed to be restored, or maybe the update (9A406) is required for this to work. Not sure, but it worked flawlessly this time around. And quite quickly I might add.

Just an FYI, I read on iPhone Dev's twitter to leave the VPN password blank and just click next.

I restarted my computer, re-downloaded the redsnow file and now I am stuck at "Creating backup..." where as before it only took about 3 minutes. It's been about 10 minutes or so now.

Just click next instead of typing in a password

I'm stuck on creating backup for the last 40mins ! Anybody else wait this length of time ?

 

[iambyron]

which carrier do you have? mine is up to date with 9a405

 

[TiNuts]

I'm on verizon. 9A405 is the old 5.0.1, which you still get if you update over wifi. If you restore it again via itunes you'll get 9a406. Carrier shouldn't matter.

Yes, leave all passwords blank.

same, ios5.0.1 with 9a405

 

[TiNuts]

I also don't know if 9A405 or 9A406 matters. I just tried restoring and itunes updated it automatically and it worked. The restore alone may have been all it needed.

 

[Realed]

I am about to try this. I am currently on 9A405...let's see if it works for me.

when you did a restore, did you restore from a back up or as a fresh? i dont want to lose all my data if i have to do a full restore from new.
