I had some problems with my iPhone 3G today. For a long time, since the release of iOS 3 I have had my iPhone jailbroken and used version 3.x.x it has been running slow and not really been optimal but with all the short keys and cool apps I have lived with it. A couple if months ago I installed android as a dual boot on my iPhone and it has been fun to play around with.
But I am sure that all those modification have caused some problems with my iPhone. The last month it has been crashing 5-10 times a day without cause. Sometimes I could go to bed and in the morning find out that my iPhone had crashes during the night.
I have though of updating it to 4.2, since I am developer I have had the opportunity for a couple of months now. It should supposedly run a lot faster then iOS 3 and it has some cool new features too. My main concern was that I would loose my jailbreak.

So today during my English lessons my iPhone bricked. Or as you might say; got stuck in restarting mode. Every time it tried to start up it crashed and restarted. I tried to boot to android and that worked great but iOS would not start. So after a lot of trouble getting it in DFU mode (with dual boot it is not that easy) I finally got iTunes to restore it and updating it to 4.2.1. I am now running iOS 4 without any problems and it is really fast. I have not jailbroken it, yet, as I want to see how it is without jailbreak. Hope i can live without it ;)
