Secure your iPhones
For some days now, reports have been in that jailbroken iPhones are vulerable to attacks. There was a first worm that “only” Rickrolled the user but now, there is a malicious one out that can grab confidential information and basically spy on you at any moment. While Apple tells you that it’s your fault (which it basically is), we tell you how to secure your iPhone against such...

As you may have read some posts below I had some bad stuff happening to my iPhone last time I tried to Jailbreak it (first the boot logo loop and then the phone part not activating – meaning I made a wonderful jailbroken iTouch out my iPhone).

It seems that you have to: Restore...

Now first try, directly update to 2.2.1 and re-jailbreak results in an infinite boot loop where the phone reboots every 5 minutes or so. This was somewhat foreseeable but you never know you could be lucky… Second try, restore the phone firmware, then restore the backup then jailbreak. boot loop again. Now that is starting to to be a long update… After some digging I found...
