Simple fix, actually. All you had to do was flash a fake main (the one with .ssw extension) onto your phone. Then, the phone cannot turn on no matter what. That fixes the problem with the phone turning on. Then when you are done, just reflash your REAL main. Oh, and XS++ isn't really that risky, just time consuming. If you know what you're doing, it's not really that hard. And if you're new to XS++, just use FSX. It's completely safe, as long as you don't unplug the phone while it's bruteforcing or copy some crap file to your phone.
