ok great.
u may wanna back up your cydia tweaks. just search on cydia and install APT backup. once installed. just open it and tap back up. after u done jb, install bak this app, and restore from back up. it will automatically install back all your cydia tweaks

ok now for the upgrade and downgrade process:
1. check your model build, the last 2 letters do they end in LL or MY. if ur set is malaysian set, it shud be MY. else, or even refurbished unit (i.e. u claimed for 1:1 exchange before) it'll be LL
2. read thoroughly the steps here:
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09/28/ho...1-1-a4-devices/there's a difference in the steps if your build is LL (in my case), u need to create a custom IPSW to preserve Baseband. after u create this custom-preserveBB ipsw, u follow the steps to stitch it with your SHSH blobs. follow the rest of step and u shud find yourself on 5.X again. then JB it

but make sure u read first ok? it took me many trials and errors and was very frustration, i don't think any other ppl wanna experience it.
i'll do wat i can to help

for 2. and 3. i just use itunes backup. right click on your device in itunes and backup
