@DorianGray: Right, got it.

Did you have anything custom installed & setup, besides the JB?
Either something went wrong with the migration, and it's not our fault, or you were running a custom piece of code that is catastrophically broken on FW 5.6.x., but given the fact that an official update wipes most everything, I'm gonna blame that one on Amazon or a badly timed hardware mishap.

Either way, if you don't have USBNet or the Rescue Pack installed, and can't/won't open it up to get serial access, you're most likely screwed.

Start by checking if you can get it to show up over USB during boot, after a hard-reboot, this way you might at least be able to do a hard factory-reset to revive it, but you'll lose the JB (and a way to JB it, since you're now running 5.6.1).

(Grrrr... it seems fw update ins't "golden" yet...)
I was updating the firmware only without updating the jailbreak.

@NiLuJe

Justa a JB nothing else.

How to do hard factory-reset because I can see the USB storage?


@knc1

With a KV you will need a serial port connection to JB it.
More or less the situation you have now.

@NiLuJe: I guess that means you could update ixtab's first post of that thread to report it worked (at least in one case) on 5.6.1
