Cydia consistently kills iPhone 3g requiring restore

Note: I accidently posted this in the iPod forum instead of iPhone. Reposting here.

Well, I've tried two phones now and each time running Cydia on the latest 2.0.2 firmware, and jailbreaking using both quickpwn and the new winpwn results in the same thing, a frozen at the apple logo phone.

Generally the problem occurs during an install of apps from Cydia. Using Installer has yet to have any issues. Cydia will run through some process then either lockup OR lockup moving to the main iPhone menu. In most cases there will be the spinning hourglass in the middle of the screen probably indicating that Cydia is working on something prior to closing.

I have to say, I don't know if it's shitty Apple software or shitty other software, but it's getting old.

If I don't jailbreak the phone, or don't run Cydia I have no problems.

Two phones, the second without anything from the old phone touching it, would indicate it's not the hardware.

Getting sick of looking at the Apple logo of death on restart

the only time i got stuck on the boot logo was when i installed MiVtones from the MMi repo. After that my phone was fubar'd. Everything else installs with ease though and my phone has been working since i haven't installed Mivtones, which i'm asssuming right now just isn't ready for this FW.

I'm hoping that the process described in Cpjr's post will fix the issues. But something is causing phones to be very unstable after pwning them and installing apps from Cydia. I never before had any problems with my iPod Touch on firmware 1.x. So whether it's 2.0.2, 2.0 in general, or problems with the pwning process or Cydia, I don't know. It's frustrating though!

Back to the ironing board.

How many appstore applications do you have?

Too many 40ish

I'm trying the approach started in Cpjr's thread and expanded by Jazjon. So far so good. In a nutshell:

1. Complete the pwn process without restoring any data or apps first. Just treat as new phone.
2. Install the core Cydia/Installer apps you need, etc etc. Take special care that you leave time between operations before installing apps. Cydia doesn't seem to know/care if the phone is busy with other operations and will do it's thing, which can resort in a couple hours worth or restoring
3. Begin the process of installing your apps by downloading from the iPhone Appstore application. Again, leave time in between, don't rush it.

If you do anything that will need a reset of the phone, like changing a Winterboard theme (maybe not reset but you get the idea) and such, again be sure you begin the process only if the phone is not busy with another task, like installing an app.

Looks like we just need to baby these things until the phone, apps and jailbreak installers are out of the teething stages.
