Hi lads. I uhm jailbroke my iPhone 6 about a year ago.
I haven't updated it at all since of course. About 6 months ago I think I deleted the cydia icon by accident but it must have removed it as not been able to get it to run since wont show in search or anything tried a couple things to restore it to no avail maybe I didn't try hard enough though but been so pressed for time to do it.
Funnily enough I still had some of the apps I'd installed through cydia when it was on the phone including a lot of tweaks and settings springboard and all that malarky.
Anyway today I was having some issues with my phone, apps kept crashing, I had loads of crap on it and many unwanted contacts and all sorts so I decided probably rather foolishly to erase all content and settings.
But I've found out since that if the phone is jailbroke you should un-jailbreak it first before doing that? Or does it not matter?
I did update itunes and do a full backup first before I done the reset.
But now the phone is stuck or appears to be stuck on the reset which normally happens pretty quick about a few minutes or so.
But this has been stuck on the white screen with the little black apple icon in the middle for about 45 minutes now.
I did have quite a few apps, games, files, pictures, notes, emails, contacts etc on the phone but its never took this long before.
But then I've never reset an iPhone in this way that's been jailbroke. I've never had this problem before but guess I'm a right noob!
Can anyone offer any insight or give any tips on what steps I can take?
I'm searching online but raising more questions than its answering tbh.
Can someone clued up about this or has some past experience say how they sorted it out?
Just need to get my phone back on!
Thanks much in advance guys!
Mike.
