Apps won't launch after restore

pudgenet · #1 (**permalink**) 08-07-2009, 01:07 AM

None of my apps will launch after a restore. I have an iPhone 3G, had 3.0. Restored with 3.0.1 firmware, restored from backup, ran redsn0w, ran ultrasn0w.

I'd rather not set up as new phone ... any ideas?

try to avoid restore from backup... Just Synchronize.

Except then I lose all my preferences and have to spend an evening fixing everything, so, no, that's a poor solution. It's not a good idea; rather, it's the last resort.

Before commenting just read what I told … I told ‘try to avoid restore from backup’ (did I ever say that you need to do restore?) I told you to get the application downloaded in Itunes and Synchronize. I too know restoration is last option.

Last resort or not, at this point you should do this. I know it takes time to tune up the phone as we like, but in this case...

Maybe YOU should read what I wrote before commenting. I already said I didn't want to set it up as a new phone. I was looking for OTHER solutions. Giving me the solution I already gave is not helping.
