another iPhone issue dealt with

alright so .. a friend came over with his iphone. wanted to sell it off and accidentally hit the clear all data which lead to the bug that leaves it stuck at the apple logo.

It was running OS 3.0 at that time, so i tried doing a restore, harmless right? NO. little did i know that Apple had changed their restoration procedure to include a little signing step. which meant that if you had a jailbroken os and while restoring it checks with the apple servers, so if they detect any anomaly, you're screwed.

hence the only way to get around is to either store you're ECID number with Cydia before hand, but if you were in my position and you actually did restore it without saving the ECID then stick around and i'll post another post shortly.

Until then,

Yalla
