Word of advice. Dont sync the phone with iTunes while its updating/installing apps over the air form the appstore. I was in the process of upgrading 3 apps and synced with itunes and now the apps are premanetly stuck either saying LOADING or INSALLING… Need to reflash it. ---

Same thing happened to me about a week ago and was forced to restore (was looking through cydia while it was updating an RSS application)… tried just deleing it manually via ssh but didn’t work ---

Ya. The forums for the error I am getting when trying to restore it indicate a hardware failure. They say a bad charger in a car could have caused it. I used my friends from Best Buy last week and might have killed my phone. When I restore it, it stays stuck on verifying it and then fails. Its pernamently in restore mode so I get the joy of swapping it out tonight. I am pretty sure the jailbreak software is off it since it took a flash once…or at least I hope so. ---

damn, that blows man :tdown: luckily mine restored ok. I wouldn’t worry much about the jailbreak. From a few posts on MMI, it sounds like they’ll likely replace it no questions asked ---

From a few posts on MMI, it sounds like they’ll likely replace it no questions asked Ya it took the flash it seems. Had the apple logo and the bar that completed, just missed the reboot and activation. I am more worried about the cracked apps and mobileinstallation > [@ILC](#): > > Actually I just downloaded the iPhone SDK so I’m gonna try my hands at developing my own Apps. Xcode and the SDK is a really nice environment. You need to look at Objective-C tho for the language. Its pretty goofy getting used to the way Apple setups and installs apps. ---
