Rescue mode for my iPhone

My iPhone bricked again! This is the second times I bricked my iphone.

Contrary to experience of most other iphone users, the brick is caused by installing / uninstalling 3rd party app, but not by improper jailbreak / unlock methods.

While my only way to go is using ziphone to recover the iphone from scratch, I start thinking the possibility of booting the iphone with a rescue ramdisk. Such image will be very helpful, as you can boot the iphone in rescue mode just like the way in every Linux distro. We can then create full backup by simply tar up the whole root filesystem or just fix the broken thing and restart the iphone.

Anyway, it is just a idea. Hope it will comes true later.
