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.
i've done JB for my iphone 4s, my fren, and also my housemate.
3 times JB, none of it got issue.
for me, backup is just for your secure step, JUST IN CASE IF your JB is not success, u still have other option to restore.
take the simple one:
1. backup your iphone using itune
2. JB
3. if everything is ok, continue use your iphone.
its not that complicated isnt it?
