    Default Should I upgrade firmware and re-jailbreak?

    I am currently running firmware 4.0.1 which I jailbroke using jailbreakme.com, what I'm wondering however is if it's worth trying to upgrade to a later firmware and re-jailbreaking my phone and if so, how easy is it to do?

    Please advise?

    Do you know what SHSH you have and what bootrom your 3GS is?

    4.1 added gamecenter and 4.2.1 added airplay and airprint. If you dont care about those things then it probably isnt worth it to update.

    The current jailbreak for 4.2.1 is tethered as well. Unless you backup SHSH blobs.
    Asking for help is different from being stupid. Fanboys can rot in @#$%!

    Well rule of thumb with jailbreaking:

    Only upgrade fw if you absolutely have to

    Sorry if I'm stepping on Bane17's thread, however I would also like to know if it is worth it for me to upgrage to the newest 4.2.1, some details on my iPhone are as follows :
    3GS
    32GB
    Factory Unlocked
    FW : 4.1
    Modem FW : 05.14.02
    New Bootrom 359.3.2
    Saved Blobs (via Tiny Umbrella)

    Advice I am looking for if you may :

    Have the iPhone UnTethered.
    Which baseband would it be safe to stay, downgrade to (if possible) or go to.
    Finally is there any benefit to the upgrade.

    PS - Also considering selling and upgrading to the newer iPhone 4

    Hopefully not missed anything.

    Many thanks for the advice.

    You would be tethered on 4.2.1 so I wouldnt suggest it.
