So I got a link to the iOS7 beta from a mate. He'd installed it on his iPhone 4 and was loving it, so I gave it a go on my 5. Used it for about 2 weeks and really like it.

Then today, the phone starts glitching, I used the timer and couldn't get it to close. So I switched off the phone... and that's where my real troubles started.

The phone wouldn't boot, it was just in an endless loop trying to boot then restarting itself. So I switched it off until I got home from work.

I thought "I'll just put it into recovery mode and restore" BIG MISTAKE, I've restored it, but now I can't use the phone at all because it won't activate - I don't have a registered Crapple dev account. I didn't have this problem when I updated the firmware and despite the whole net telling me I can downgrade to 6.1.4, iTunes says no "the firmware file is incompatible"

Looks like Apple have pulled the plug on downgrading, leaving me with an effectively bricked phone.

Any advice?

Oh and the kicker is: I(shit)Tunes is hogging the shit out of my PC's resources, even when closed. I have to close all the related processes in task manager to stop it using over 50% of my CPU. Fucking hate these products right now.

Go on, laugh at me

I'll begin by saying this isn't some dick-waving contest. I'm looking to find out what are the fastest times possible with the remake of Sonic 1 since the inclusion of the spindash and speed cap removal.

This could also be device-dependent, since I found that it's quicker to beat GHZ Robotnik on an iPad than it is on my iPhone 5 (widescreen vs. non-widescreen).

And as this isn't a contest, please only post legit, non-hacked/debug mode times. My times are far from the best, so I expect them to be beaten!

So, iPhone 5, Total Time: 25'44"20
