Already before i update my device from 3.2.2 to 4.2 without lossing

Thanx ,

If I understand you correctly and you want to save your Cydia apps and settings, you can look into some of the app / package backup solutions in Cydia. My favourite is pkgbackup. This backs up a list of your installed packages as well as the settings for each one so they can be restored on a freshly jailbroken system. Google pkgbackup for more details.

Thanx alot

OK, you're all talking in Geekish now...

For the technophobic ones amongst us - What is Jailbreak? What does it do that the normal OS doesn't do? Why should I do it? What are the pitfalls?

I wanted an iPad because it is easy to use. No set up, no maintenance (defragging etc), intuitive to use and so on. Sell this Jailbreak to me!

Follow the links on the Moderator's post a couple of posts up the page and you'll find out what it's all about.

OK - I've posted them here too....

HACKING SECTION RULES - please read.

ok that was as painless as could be, i barely finished my redbull before it was done. the longest part was downloading the 4.3.1 ipsw which took all of 5 minutes. great write ups, videos and support guys. now i just have to read up on how to make the most of cydia, thank you again


oh btw i used my mac with the 10.5.8 os and redsn0w

cheers

sorry probably been asked before but in your opinion what is this best method to jailbreak 4.3.1, redsnow or snowbreeze?? I want to jailbreak the ipad and the iphone 4.

thanks

a sidenote: does this stop internet tethering on ipad? (I tether my ipad to my iphone)

Does the first post (towards the end) not help you make that decision yourself? Sounds like redsn0w to me.

And no, the jailbreak does not prevent any services, such as tethering, AFAIK. It is an enabler, rather than a disabler

Ah didn't see that bit! Ok I'll use redsnow, so a quick recap (haven't done it in a while) backup shsh blobs via umbrella, backup apps using appbackup, backup Cydia using aptbackup (or pgkbackup) then install iOS 4.3.1, then jailbreak?

Cheers

Sounds like a plan.... Don't forget to backup and sync in iTunes as well, assuming you want to restore your normal Apps and settings also.

Hey f4780y,

Lots of good info in this post, thanks,

Are there any guides to the steps above? I have a jailbroken 16GB WiFi iPad(1st Gen) on iOS 3.2.2 using limera1n, and would like to keep all my data (settings, apps, app data etc) after upgrading it and jailbreaking on a newer version of iOS. (ie 4.3.1 .. doesnt need to be the newest version).

Thanks
