    Default 4s jailbreak unstable?

    Is anyone experiencing this?
    I have had to restore 5.1 almost twice now.
    Managed to jailbreak on Friday.
    Then after 2 hours of use, packages and tweaks it decided to give up and give me the spining wheel.
    I couldn't get it back so I had to restore.
    Then jailbreak again. Re do all the tweaks etc. then again today installed sbrotator5 and respring.
    Black screen and spinning wheel of death 😄
    I managed to put in and out of DFU and revive.
    I'm scared. If it happens again I'm not sure if like on the 4 u can do a boot tethered sort of option?
    Any ideas please
    Thanks
    Dan

    Mine has been jailbroken for over 24 hours and I haven't have any problems, not even booting in safe mode. It may be something you are trying to install doesn't work with IOS 5.

    jailbroken for 2 days now, only had one peculiar issue. I tried to install Dreamboard, didn't like it, then removed it via Cydia. It caused Springboard to crash. I rebooted, and all was good. I have to agree with Brown, it has to be due to some app you are using or trying to use that is incompatible or error-prone. Other than that, it works as smoothly as the stock setup for me. I'd say re-jailbreak it, and be very careful when you add certain things from Cydia- I try to follow other people's tips and reviews of things that work well with other setups.

    Thanks for the replys guys.
    I think it was just that sbrotator app. I think I might have tried the non 5 version hence the crash.
    If it happens again is there an easier way to get it working again.
    I had to try for about an hour just to get it past the spinning wheel screen.
