First let me say sorry for the false category, I couldn't seem to find a closer category for my issue so here I go. Today I was watching a twitch stream on my jailbroken iphone, I've never had any issues with the jailbreak before today and now suddenly the screen displayed seemingly random pixels and then got into a reboot loop. I can manage to get out of it by booting into the phone without the tweaks but when I go into cydia to uninstall the tweak I think is the issue it refuses to load cydia before it does the pixel thing again. I think that flux is the tweak giving me issues because of other people's troubles with it, however I've had the tweak for months now without any issues. I also can't recall the last time I've installed a new tweak, just updates. Any help on how to stop the random reboots would be great and thanks in advance!
Matt


Edit: I've Just uninstalled flux and I haven't had any issues yet, will keep updated if the pixel thing happens again
Edit 2: I was watching a youtube video and it did the thing again; I still haven't been able to boot into my phone, even without the tweaks using the volume up method
Edit 3: My phone is now stuck in DFU mode and I have no way to get it out, Itunes will not update or restore it and redsn0w won't take it out. Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on. (http://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201412)
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. However, they might not help since you disassembled the device

Hope this helps.
 


Its a bit late for that my friend, I took it to the apple store and they couldn't do anything so I ended up walking out with a new phone and a $300 lighter load in my pocket, quite a shame. Oh, well I guess. Thanks for the help though!
