Hi Latif786,

Just click Restore in iTunes, or right click on the device and click restore from backup - this aught to re-set the device.

Doesnt sound like an Ios5 problem though, sounds like a jailbreak problem..

Dumb thread title is dumb.

Quite a few cydia apps are not ios5 compatible yet. I had to learn this the hard way three times

Look into semitether though - a BigBoss app that lets your phone at least boot if it's not tethered. Not much works, but you can make phone calls and receive SMSs...

This has nothing to do with iOS 5, the fact that this happened is purely your fault as Cydia apps are not yet optimized for iOS5 and tethered jailbreaks become a nightmare when you start installing apps such as springboard that constantly restarts your iPhone.

By the sound of your knowledge regarding Cydia and jailbreaking I suggest you avoid using Cydia altogether(or atleast till the untethered jailbreak is out). Messing with Cydia with a tethered jailbreak is going to result in lots of restores and with the compatibility issues between 4 and 5 you run a greater risk of bricking your iPhone.
