Hi all, need help here.

My iPhone 2G with FW3.1 unable to boot up after essential updates via cydia after it prompted to reboot iPhone.

Shows apple logo and went dead after around 10 sec. Restart it lotsa time still to no avail.

Open up itunes holding home button then it prompted "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the Internet." My internet connection are well connected.

iTunes unable to detect my iPhone when it connected to pc.

pls help !!!

I managed to solve the iTunes not connected to internet problem by clicking "automatic detect setting" in internet connection tab.

But izzit safe to update essential updates from cydia again after i restore my iPhone? Will the same prob occur again?

Does "restore" erase all my cydia installed apps?

thanks
