   Yeah, this can be triggered by opening a Veency connection and then powering off from the iPod end.

   PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

3. jay, November 6, 2008:

   aite the lone stag, how did you do a soft reset of the springboard? plz reply

4. Tamaluko, November 22, 2008:

   yeah don’t down load dock lock yhing when you hit restart springboard it puts it in safe mode how to get out of safe mode 1st open up cydia 2nd uninstall dock lock app or most recently installed app 3rd hit restart springoard this should resolve it problem. as for you CHRIS hold down home and power buttons for 10 seconds it should turn off now just hold power button untill apple symbol comes up .PS chris don’t freak out this will take 6 -10. Tore set just wait you will have to get out of safe mode also p.s.s if theese 2 options don’t work try soft reset home plus power for 10 seconds but thistime only let go of power buton keep holding home you should get a connect to I tunes button do so iPod should show up as iPod in restoremode DONT EVER HIT SETUP AS OLD iPod IT WILL FUCK YOUR IPOD UP so badly you will get to the checkerd screen of no return your iPod is now bricked as they say

   This is for TAMALUKO… My friend, nicknamed “jerry” got his iPod bricked after performing numerous hacks and “abuses” towards his iPod… in an “illegal” way, as downloading stuff you have to pay for, for free. anyway, he said that when he got it bricked, he had enabled disk-use, meaning that he went into “my Computer” and in his iPod’s folder, there was a folder that was titled “Bricked.” He deleted the folder, and his iPod was no longer bricked… that should work for all of you , unless you were RETARDED and haven’t “Enabled Disk Use…”

   You’re Welcome…

23. Jake1910, April 13, 2010:

    I had the Same problem after I dowloaded Cydget. Restarted the springboard and a thing came up on the lockscreen saying sad iPhone or something and a picture. My ipod came out of safe mode but I cannot see any apps but I can still find and use them with spotlight. I have tried deleting cydget, rebooting, hard restarts and soft restarts but nothing works. Any help would be much appriciated.

24. calerid, May 5, 2010:

    Are you all stupid!!! omg… first of all restore will get you unbricked no matter what unless you have physically damaged it. second deleting a folder called bricked??? How stupid. and to exit safe mode WTF? it says how to when you enter safe mode look at the fucking status bar it says exit safe mode or soft restart!!! Jailbreaking is not dangerous unless you are stupid!!!

25. Yana, May 23, 2010:

31. Ryan, August 7, 2010:

    Please, please help me. I have an ipod touch 4.0 with jailbreak from “Jailbreak me.com” and i have tried everything. first, of corse, i restarted it like it recomends. that didnt work. I did it like 7 times. Next, I uninstalled all of my most recent cydia apps. it didnt work. Then, I got “CrashReporter” and tried to find the source of the problem, and it said that the problem was Mobile Substrate and that I should uninstall it. WTF?! I thought that mobile substrate was the thing that STOPPED my ipod from being bricked! Anyways, I just ignored that and decided not to screw myself and not take my chances with being bricked. After that, I uninstalled ALL of the cydia apps that I knew that I downloaded. i didnt uninstall the ones that were there when i got cydia, dont worry. That didnt work. After that, I restored my ipod. That didnt work. I restored my ipod to an earlier date. THAT DIDNT GOD DAMN WORK!! So now Im sitting at my desk typing this message scared out of my mind! Please. please. please help me. Ive tried everything, literally. and my email from my ipod isnt working and i cant reply or send any messages from my ipod! please help me, i beg you.

32. Ryan, August 7, 2010:

    Okay, I also have a problem like the cydget guys up there ^ I installed a theme called iNav, and it sent me to safe mode. I couldnt find it in my packages and i couldnt delete it. After i donwloaded it, it never gave me the theme and all it gave me was a bunch of blank icons and catagories. WHY? Please help.
