3GS Upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 (8J2) Sn0wbreeze 2.7.3 Modem Version 06:15.00

Hello

just wanted to share my recent experience - just in case others suffer the same fate.

Ps. For those who have any real experience this may seem lame, but if it helps someone then maybe I'll receive some Karma!

Ok so I followed these instructions to carry out the upgrade which worked 1st time: http://http://jaxov.com/2011/05/how-to-use-sn0wbreeze-2-7-to-jailbreak-ios-4-3-3-on-windows-untethered/

Maybe my 1st mistake was not backing up all my apps but as I had been having problems with my device after being on 4.2.1 for around (hmmm 7 months) anyway I thought the best thing to do was just note them all down and add them again fresh..

Issues

1. Loss of cellular function (ie i ended up with a ipod rather than an iphone! : 1 signal bar & no carrier info - I never read step 13 in teh above instructions.

The solution: Download Ultrasn0w 1.2.3 DEB File to Unlock iPhone 4/3GS Offline | Jaxov

2. Loss of mail, contacts, calandars in the settings screen - Freaking weird solution that fixed it (for me) = Unhide the mail icon via poof in sb settings!

3. Phone crashing everytime trying to download app from appstore - solution = remove appstore icon from folder (ie have it on main screen) <- this was flipping frustrating

That's all, sounds resolvable in a few minutes but it took me a total of around 5hrs of messing about before I got it all resolved.
