How can I prevent my iPod from boot looping when I reboot it?

[thomas_xxxxx]

Hello,

I have iPod touch 4G running iOS 6.1.5 and since yesterday I have one problem. When I reboot my iPod it stucks in a reboot loop. I can fix reboot loop with holding volume-up button, iPod boots successfully but all apps on springboard are out of folders. Cydia works, but SbSettings and Activator does not work. It looks like half-jailbroken iDevice. Can you give me an advice what to do?

Thank you.

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet! Factory restore it, and then if you want jailbreak it again, but I think you are fubar and you need to factory it!

Boot loop

Don't restore it

List your tweaks here.
On your device, Start uninstalling them one by one till you stop getting a bootloop.

That's right, don't restore!!!

If Cydia works everything is ok. That's just a incompatibility or wrong settings

As 3cit said, just remove Cydia apps/tweaks and check if it works again and what the culprit is.

And if a restore is needed, use iLex-Rat to restore and preserve iOS.

Ok then, listen to them.

Is this a better way to remove all your tweaks than semi-restore?

I would add remove the newest one first and work back from that.

IMO yes, it does a better job
