Oops...Currently Restoring. (Frozen on Boot.)

[Massie]

Just a word of warning...I was in the middle of installing some theme folders tonight when my iPhone 5 went dark and tried to reboot before getting stuck on the boot logo. Tried all the usual things but couldn't get any of it to work--I'm currently restoring.

Thought I'd mention it since we all know that Apple is going to close the window on 6.1 pretty quickly...I guess I'll just be a little more careful about what I install going forward.

Frankly, I'm embarrassed that I couldn't get it to boot. After all the jailbreaking I've been through I figured I could do it no matter what, but it just sat there while the fear crept in--"what if Apple is closing the 6.1 signing window RIGHT NOW???"--and that's when I decided to restore. Figured it would be better long-term anyway.

So does this mean you're still not jailbroken? If so you've lasted much longer than I'd have guessed!

HAHA! currently rocking 6.1.1 but i do have my 6.1 blobs saved so i could be jailbroken tomorrow

i'm not sure i have ever seen this many issues with a JB this early ever. or have i been away far too long?

What theme folders were they so we can all avoid them?

This is why I'm staying away from themes unless they are updated for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5.

I remember far more issue's with past JB's, this one seems pretty solid..

Well, I'm not saying it was something in the theme itself (just to be clear) but I had a bunch going in at once: LS Nimbus, LS iDust, an old Typophone (not the one in Cydia). Other recent installs included WallpaperJPEGifier and rpetrich's RespringCacheFixer. Might be some others that I don't recall right now.

So NOTHING, not even a force reboot and volume up key?

Nope! I was really relying on that one to work, too.

Sweet baby j man! You gotta tell us the tweaks you tried to throw
On there at the time of freeze!!!

If it was a Siri type (which I know it wasn't, cuz you have a 5) then you deserve a restore? I'm Gonna go start a rant thread on tat right now?

Here's the rundown of what I can recall being on there, but I'm fairly sure that if I stuck it out I could have eventually got it to boot...I think I just tossed too much in at once via iExplorer and it screwed up the reboot. I figured a quick restore would be just as easy. Anyway, here's the list:

Activator
Barrel
Bitesms
Cascade
Color Keyboard
iFile
Infinidock
ISX
LS Clock Hide
NCSettings
Pandora Downloader
Springtomize 2
Wallpaper JPEGifier
Winterboard

themes:
biteLiquid for Bitesms
Blink lockscreen

that's it!
Back to normal now and will be a bit more cautious about how and what I load.
