iPad constantly stuck in safe mode!

Hey all, my iPad is jail broken on ios 5.1.1 iirc, using absinthe. I dont have a backup to revert to. What can I do to fix it? I don't have that many apps that could cause this. Every time I do as it says restart it it loads the lockscreen I unlock it bam it crashes and goes safe mode again. Please help. Ate. iPad 1st gen wifi 16gb

It'll be a jailbreak app that is causing the problem. You should be able to connect your iPad up to your computer, make a backup, restore the iPad with the backup and then re-jailbreak it.

Unfortunately, you'll have to reinstall all your jailbreak stuff though.

Failing that - you could just go through your Cydia, deleting apps one by one until the problem goes away. Can you not think of anything you installed lately?

Damn bad times

If only you could sort your cydia apps by install date...

Telling me... And still no good I installed all in one sitting in the space of 2 hours I can't get crash reporter to download either I don't have it installed and the option isn't there to dl it... I wish there was an app that formatted cydia just uninstalls everything lol

Do you have a back up you can use?

I have nothing to ad other than would it not have been more sensible to stagger your app downloads & test every ten or so ?
