Hello, Today I decided to ditch iOS 3.1.2 on my iPhone 3G (Which I recently replaced with an iPhone 4, but still use for Jailbreaking/Development) and upgrade to 4.1. I had previously installed open iboot on the device to run Android (just for fun) and when I updated the OS, all went well but when i ran limera1n (Which I also used for my iPhone 4) it would go into DFU mode, but limera1n would hang at "In DFU Mode...wait." the iPhone would reboot to the "Connect to iTunes" Screen, and would need to be restored. After trying this again on my Mac (And failing) I decided to flash 3.1.2 back. After the restore, it booted to the "Connect to iTunes" screen, but I ran blackra1n anyway (on my mac, since the PC version crashes, and apparently, thats what happens with iTunes 10.0.1 and older firmware, but correct me if i'm wrong) After running blackra1n, the phone booted up, and I installed Cydia via the blackra1n app. After launching cydia, and waiting for the "Reorganizing, will close when done" to finish, I relaunched Cydia, and after staying at the loading screen for a minute, or two, the app crashed, and continues to do so everytime I launch it. I decided to restore, and re-jailbreak using the same method, but achieved the same results. I'm thinking that having open iboot previously in the bootrom might be messing things up, but I can't be sure. If i can't get this working, I'm stuck with an un-jailbreakable paperweight (Even though it runs stock 4.1 fine). I'm pretty much limited to limera1n, and blackra1n on my Mac, since they still work, unlike most programs (like sn0wbreze, and blackra1n PC) which crash with the newest version of iTunes. I also have my originalbootrom.dump from when I installed Open iBoot, if that helps...
