So I have the rather common iphone screen frozen on apple logo problem. I won't lie --- this is a jailbroken, unlocked iphone. And the only phone I have. Even aside from that I simply have a lot, and I mean A LOT of data/downloads/general stuff on here. I've tried everything --- holding down the power/home buttons for 25, 10, or however many seconds. Downloading programs that didn't help at all. Downloading firmware in hope that itunes could use it for the restore. Everything except actually restoring, which would make me lose almost everything and lock my phone. However, at the very least, I would still have the numbers of my contacts and my music -- both of which I needed today. And the jailbreak is supposedly coming soon for this firmware anyway (I just don't know how soon).
Its been frozen like this for about 4 hours now. And I've seen the Apple logo be stuck on the iphone screen for a long time before. And some people have said the problem for them just fixed itself when they simply waited for a while. And interestingly enough, my iTunes and computer seems to read the iPhone just fine when I plug it in, as though its running normally but just with a frozen screen. I can sync and everything. It just doesn't fix the screen. But it would be just amazing if I didn't have to lose everything.
So what do you guys think? Does a 4 hour freeze with no signs of improving seem hopeless? Or should I not waste my time and just restore it?
