ok so i have an iphone 4s and its on 6.0.1 jailbroken i believe ok i was removing some tweaks and things i installed over time trying to clean up some space no problem on i resprung the springboard and when i did i got stuck in the apple logo loop and i have no way to get out of it i would of just put in dfu or recovery but my only problem is is that my sleep/ lock button is damaged and i cannot seem to find a way that will allow me to boot properly my iphone when i plug it in i can access it through i fun box and itunes as if nothing is wrong i have tried plugging it in while holding the home to get it to recovery that didnt work and i also tried pressing the up volume button after letting it die and reboot and still nothing if anyone can help me i would appreciate it!

update was just able to finally get into recovery mode by holding the home button from a dead battery my hand hurts now lol ill update if i succeed please though if anyone has any suggestions please i could use some
-
ok i can get it into recovery i tried to use the redsn0w recovery fix but that didnt work it doesnt seem like its stuck in the loop because i can access the phone remotely through i-fun-box and itunes i really cant afford to lose all my data in a restore does anyone have any ideas on what i can try now when it starts to boot up from a dead battery the apple logo and screen are bright but after a few moments it goes dim and like i said i can access it through my laptop but other than that no luck on the phone

Hardware reset your iPhone (Press Sleep/Wake or Power button and Home button simultaneously till u see the Apple logo) so you go back into the reboot loop state:
Then try this solution to fix the reboot look:

Remove the problematic tweak or tweaks and reboot again. -
i cant, my iphone has a broken power button i had to use activator to change the lock command but i can get into recovery mode and the whole phone seems to be on when its at the logo but it doesnt seem to move from there when i plug it into my laptop i can access it through i fun box and itunes as if it was normally on and idk what happened but i uninstalled a bunch of tweaks and thats what caused this problem i keep letting it die so i can go from there but i really cant afford to restore and lose all my data is there anyway i can use ifunbox and change whatever files that might be causing it?
-
It depends on which tweak you've uninstalled. Do you remember which ones? Hope it wasn't evasion 6.0-6.1.2 untether.
Since you cannot afford to lose the data, the first thing you should do is get the power button issue fixed and try the solution to fix the reboot loop issue. -
no i didnt uninstall evasion it was assistant love assistant extensions i think mainly some siri stuff um there was foldmusic i think its called and a few others i havent used them in a while emulators for like gba nes psx and a few others that im unsure of but none of the tweaks i uninstalled i saw could cause this and it finished properly it just needed to be resprung
-
And you used Cydia to uninstall them?
-
yea i let them all uninstall then resprung and thats when it wouldnt boot properly
-
Okay that's good. Avoid using Redsn0w etc for now. So does it keep rebooting?
-
no it just stays stuck on the apple logo the screen is bright at first then after about 30 sec or so the screen dims still with the apple logo but dimmed and just gets stuck there it seems as if something is just stopping the screen from booting up fully but in the background on my laptop i can still access the phone as if nothings wrong
-
Hmm, still suggest getting the power button fixed and trying the reboot loop, as the fix for the reboot loop essentially disables all the tweaks based on mobile substrate (in most cases lets you get to the home screen).
On a side note, is iTunes able to recognise your iPhone, if so why don't you take a backup manually. -
because when i back up it never seems to fully back up lol and i feel like that some data will be lost in the process i was tryin to weigh all options before going that route haha
-
Ensure that you select Automatically backup to "This computer" is checked when you backup and go to each section (tap) to ensure Syncing is enabled.
-
and theres no other options than restoring?
-
-
damn that sucks
-
update: got the button fixed and nothing mentioned above worked i can get into dfu but cannot restore and im stuck
-
UPDATE: im up and runnin on 6.1.3 had to update and lost my jb anyone know where i can find a copy of ios 7 beta 6 for iphone 4s non developer i cant jailbreak any ways so might as well see what the new ios is all about :P

How did you get up and running. I have the exact same problem, the phone is stuck on the Apple logo.
