i have an itouch 2g 16 gigs os 3.0 jailbroken. ok, heres the deal: i tried to set a theme with winterboard, so i go to my homescreen, and my ipod completely freezes. so, i did a hard reset and now, whenever i try to turn it on, it freezes, resets, and tries to turn itself on. its been doing this since last night and now i dont know what to do.

Restore it. If iTunes recognizes it then just click the restore button. If iTunes doesn't, then put it into DFU mode and then manually restore it.

Hold your home button and power button for 10 seconds then release the power button and hold the home button until iTunes recognizes your device. I'm surprised you don't know what DFU mode is since you need it to jailbreak (to the best of my knowledge).

device firmware update

also, i don't think winterboard is working for 3.0, do not install it till it has been updated. the cydia applications need time to catch up to the 3.0 technology.
