Hey guys got a simple question here. I've googled but I need some confirmation.

I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1. If something wrong happens to my phone and I want to reset and restore it, can I restore it to the factory settings using iTunes, and then restore from a previous backup later? I want to keep all my settings and cydia apps with all the apps settings and data intact.

Bump. Guys?

Mine loads a bit faster, I think. Or maybe it's just a placebo effect.

Hey guys, would really appreciate a fast reply on this

My friend is on an iPhone 4 iOS 5.0 and he did a tethered jailbreak. Now I know he should upgrade to 5.0.1 and then jailbreak to get the untethered one. But I also know if you upgrade to 5.0.1 from iTunes you lose 500mb of space. So I told him to restore and setup as a new phone first, and then jailbreak again.

But he says when he clicks on restore in iTunes, the only option is "Cancel" or "Restore and upgrade iOS". Is this the correct method? Will he lose any space?

P/S: The pre-JB backup will still be usable right? I don't want him to lose all his data.

Nah he doesn't need to stay on 5.0. I'm not familiar with corona as well so I don't wanna risk anything.

I just need to know, if he clicks on restore and upgrade in iTunes, will he lose 500mb of space? And will he be able to restore his previous settings and data?

1. Restore and upgrade in iTunes.
2. Once iOS 5.0.1 is installed, jailbreak using redsnow using the iclarified guide.
3. Restore settings by right clicking in iTunes and selecting restore from backup.

Does that enable my friend to have a untethered iOS 5.0.1 JB with all his old settings intact?

Thanks a lot for this!

Oh well I thought if you upgraded an iPhones firmware while it was jailbroken, you would lose around 500MB of space permanently. Does it only apply to older firmware or something?
