Guys.. im a super noob, just got my Iphone 4s previously never own an iphone before. So im kinda confused here, it says better to do backup before you do the jailbreak.
So the steps is like this:
1)Backup your phone using Itunes
2)Restore your phone to factory settings
3)Do the jailbreak
4)Once jailbreak is completed, restore from your last backup.
So my question is, everytime my phone connected to my computer, the system will auto backup/sync my phone into my computer. Let say if i already done my backup, then restore my phone to factory settings, i am afraid that the Itune will auto sync/backup the factory settings and overwrites my previous backup since as far as im concerned only 1 backup is available to choose(last backup). So im afraid when im gonna restore my iphone after done with the jailbreaking, it gonna picks the last backup which contains the factory settings instead.
Not sure you guys can understand my concern or not.
You can always tell iTunes not to auto sync/backup. Just go to iTunes preferences and under the Devices Tab, untick the box that says "automatically sync iPhone iPad iPod" etc.
By the way, if you backup and then restore your iPhone, a copy of the backup prior to the restore will be saved in the computer and will not be overwritten. iTunes will create another backup file post restore.

Guys, is it true after you jb, your phone will be prone to viruses or something like that.
meaning it's not safe to surf on safari for internet banking stuff.
from what I heard, if you didn't jb, it is safe, but after jb-ing, it will be very vulnerable.
hope to hear some feedback on this.
thanks

Nonsense. Just make sure you download tweaks from trusted repo. If you download all those pirated tweaks, then I don't know. So don't download those tweaks.
