uh oh....heh, that's what I tried first and had the problem before.

I swear to never ever do this again.

I didn't install anything yesterday because I was busy. Getting ready to head out of town and thought, what the heck. I'll try to install this Winterboard.

Now it's stuck at the Apple logo again and this time it won't do the restore on iTunes trying your trick of the power + home button.

Great...out of town with no iPhone.

John, Winterboard requires a current version of mobile substrate in order to run- this might be why your phone is hanging.
You should be able to reboot and restore your phone the same way you did last time.

Most of the these Cydia packages come with descriptions, which will tell you of any requirements they have. I would be careful to read those before installing.

I should mention, your phone's not broken. It just can't load the Springboard, which is why it's stuck at the Apple logo.
Again, you shouldn't get too worried. Lots of people get stuck like this their first time jailbreaking. Just know that when you do this, your iPhone becomes more like a computer and less like a phone, so you're going to run into the same issues as when updating software on a PC. Once you know your way around better, you'll do better with subsequent jailbreaks.

After a few attempts, I finally got it to restore!!

The last post I made was made from pure panic and I was heading out of town. I shouldn't have done that.

Antonio, catch me on iChat, I want to try this again.

Hey John,
we'll try it again this week sometime. I'll be in touch.

I did it again, this time I didn't have any problems. Installed some cool ringtones, but would like to pick your brain on what next to install.

I think one of the first things I did when I got my Omnia phone was download hacked ROMS to get things working the way I wanted. As you say, big deal, it's just software.

Snappy v2 out now, more options...
