So i Jailbreak my iPhone 3G finally getting round to it after having it for a year using the program Blackra1n and i was starting to like some of things in Cydia, but after about an hour messing around with it Cydia refused to open.

(Stuck with a windows theme :()

So i was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if there were any work arounds that didnt require a wipe, as i am unsure a restore would bring back my phone numbers.

thanks.

Metamorphman	What did you except? You wanted the iPhone to say "THANKS FOR JAIL BREAKING ME! :D"

Unless someone pop's up here with the answer.

Aside from different themes and being able to change your background it kinda seems useless, I jailbroke it before it had the app store, then I decided to restore it to normal

Smoosh	Doesn't jail breaking then allow you to get any desired app...for free? My friend jail broke his our last semester of our senior year. He mainly did it to just to get the different themes, and GBA Emulator. PS: I hate Echofon. :(

Qubic	Sync it to your Computer via iTunes, and iTunes should save all your contacts for you including numbers. Check if it is saved: C:/Users/Username/Contacts If they are saved there, then restore. Otherwise check the box in iTunes to sync your contacts too and then sync it. Then restore.

Jeff8500	Does it crash while "reloading data"? If so, it's bad repo data that you need to delete; you can find that by googling it.
