hi guys,

im new to jailbreaking and decided to try and jailbreak my iphone 3gs,

to cut to the chase, i jailbroke it, it had that problem with cydia where it is just a white icon and doesnt open so i hit the just boot button on redsnow, n when i opened up cydia, it started doing something, anyway, when it finished, it rebooted my phone, and has deleted everytihng off it, not like media n apps etc, i mean i dont have call icon no more, no message icon, no nothing, all i have on it now is the youtube icon and a few other poinless things.

before i jailbroke it, i done a back up, i went to restore it and it said it was now restored to its original state or whatever, but it didnt bring back any of my icons, still no call. etc.
it can still receive calls and messages, when i answer a call, i cant hang up, the screen is just frozen with the slide bar over the other side, and when i recieve a message, i can only see the message in the bubble screen in the main menu, when i try to open it and reply, it comes up with an error message.

its basically turned my phone into an ipod, has this happened to anyone?
any help would be appreciated thanks
