Yet another iPhone problem for me

G-MAN2004 · 9 Feb 2008 at 19:43

Hey.

I downloaded some wallpapers using Installer, and a message appeared from the author. It stated that they take up some space and would I like to create a different location for them to be saved (was called something prefit/prefetch). I clicked yes and installed it. It then crashed so I tried restarting, now all that shows is the Apple logo.

Help please!

Thanks.

Have you tried a hard reset, hold down the sleep wake and the home button?

If not it may need to be restored, is it jailbroken?

No success with hard reset, and yeah, it's 1.1.3 jailbroken.

Thanks.

So when you switch it on it gets stuck on the apple logo? Tried plugging it into your computer?

That's correct. Just tried plugging it in but still shows the logo.

Thanks.

Just googled around and it looks like a restore is the only solution. Does independance or ibrickr recognise it?

Ended up just having to constantly hard rebooting the ipod and waiting for something to happen. Keep touching the screen too.

Don't worry. It happened to me twice, but thankfully it just fixes itself. (just you dont know when)

Totally OT: Where in Nott are you? Im carlton.

You could use Fugu to access the phone and delete the file. See if it clears the problem.

Fugu is OS X only isn't it?

That.

I had this problem when I upgraded to 1.1.3 and installed the Springboard hack. I had forgotten to set the permissions before restarting, fixed these via SSH worked.

Probably, it's not like Windows is void of clients that work with the iPhone though, WinSCP and SmartFTP both work fine for me.

Sorry, Fugu is only OS X. WinSCP is a good one for Windows.

Problem is, I have no idea what my iPhone's IP address is.

J1234 · 10 Feb 2008 at 13:42

Do you know your private default IP address? Such as xxx.xxx.x.1 or what you use to log into your router?

If it's xxx.xxx.x.1 then the iPhone address would be xxx.xxx.x.2 or .3 or .4 etc. Just trial and error to find it.

iSam · 10 Feb 2008 at 13:56

Work out how many PC/Macs are using the Wifi and work out the number from that?

WotDa · 10 Feb 2008 at 17:43

You're all nubs.

Settings > Wi-Fi > Your connected network > IP.

If I missed something, look in the DHCP table of your router.

The whole point is that he can't turn on his iPhone.

Ah yes.

DHCP table/connected client list will be easier than playing guessing games imo then.
