Hi guys, currently I'm on a jb iOS 5.1.1, iPhone 4s. The last time I jb it had been more than a year using an app called absinthe. It was cool and easy to use and with the clear guidance from the otaku, I could jb it without a sweat. Never updated anything since then as I was satisfied with my phone. However lately, my phone began to act a lil weird. Lots of crashes and freezes. I guess thats a calling for me to update my phone. =>

So guys, I would love the inputs from u all. Is it any good for me to update and jb my iOS or would I be better off to just stick with the old one? Is there any guide on how to update and jb to the current iOS? I remember there used to be a guide on the first page of the thread but I couldn't find it anymore? Are the steps still the same? That is:

1) update to the latest iOS from the phone software page
2) download jb app from Internet
3) connect the wire, click a few times on the app
4) wait till it's all done.


I've never touched this kinda stuff for a long time. So any input or guide will be very much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Unfortunately you can no longer update to the latest ios 6x as the latest one is 6.1.3 and it is not jail breakable as of now.
Apple stop signing 6.1.2 earlier this week so there is no way for you to update to that.
Afraid you have to stick with 5.1.1 if you want to retain the J.B.

Ahhh, well have to bear those crashes and freezes a little longer I guess. Thanks for the fast reply bro. Oh yea is there any significant difference between 5.1.1 and the latest 6.1.x? And vast improvement that worth going through all the trouble of jb'ing it again? Thanks

Hi guys, im just having a little problem that i would really appreciate if someone can give some pointers.

Currently im using iphone 4s with a JB 5.1.1. Lol I havent touched the software update for a year plus now and it serves me well. Well kind of...I have been told that the more recent iOS would improve the battery life tremendously compared to the one im using now. Having a greater battery life would be something i would look forward too. And some apps beginning to require at least iOS 6 to run smoothly.

I've been going through the threads and i realised that ive missed out on the JB of 6.1.2. But the recent introduction of iOS 7 has opened up the opportunity of downgrading again. Or at least that's what i understand from the few threads here. So my question is would it be wise for me to update to the latest ios (ios 7) just for the sake of better battery life? (i mean does it really have any significant improvement?) Or can i upgrade to iOS 6.1.2 now and JB it? (and how do i do that?)

Any pointers and insights will be really appreciated. Thanks guys!

they will be NO jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7 as at now.. just wait until release. you can only upgrade to iOS 7. no other option as at now.
you will unable downgrade to IOS 6.1.2 since apple has stop sign iOS 6.1.2 long time ago.
is your choice to wait or upgrade to iOS 7...

hey thanks for your reply. So if i want to upgrade to iOS 7, i will just upgrade through setting>general>software update? Even though my phone is jailbroken, i still can upgrade the normal way?
