iPhone 2.0

iPhone and 2.0 Porting Woes

So get this…

I had RemindYou 80% ported to 2.0, compiling directly on the iphone (as that is the only working toolchain right now) but then I installed something off of Cydia today and when I left Cydia my iPhone was frozen.

I let it sit for 5 minutes and nothing.
So I rebooted and I am stuck at the Apple logo.
I have rebooted 10 times and let it sit at the apple logo for over an hour.

MY IPHONE IS BRICKED!!!

As it was iTunes would not even see it.

Luckily I was able to force it into restore mode and then iTunes found it.

So I was able to get it reinstalled, but since I was working directly on the iPhone all of my work to port RemindYou was lost!

I am sure you are asking why were you not using SVN or something…

Well I have the project in Mercurial, but native on the iPhone is only SVN and Git, not Mercurial, so I wasn’t able to publish my changes.
