I had to restore my phone for a visit to the Apple store. Now I am looking to get back to where I was (jailbroken). I got Cydia back via jailbreakme.com. Then I got pkgbackup from Cydia and tried to restore. It shows that I have 77 packages and when I click restore it goes through a long process and eventually says it worked and tells me to reboot. However it doesn't actually restore anything. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
When you used Pkgbackup, after the backup, did you sync with itunes ?
Before you restore it, you have to sync your contacts first to get your pkgbackup info. You will also need to manually add the sources which were in the backup from Pkgbackup otherwise it can't find it.
