iPod Touch jailbreak to 4.2.1 with snowbreeze

**F430gx** · 03-31-2011, 05:21 PM

I have an ipod touch 2G already jailbroken with ios 4.1 and I want to jaibreak it to 4.2.1 but I need to know if the snowbreeze jaibreak deletes my apps and cydia sources, or it just updates the ios version.

Any restore or update always wipes jailbreak related stuff.

Can I back up the apps or something before jaibreaking?

nope.... you will have to get all of your apps and your sources back on manually.... that is always the thing that i hate about restoring and then rejailbreaking

There is pkgbackup in cydia

Good info for when upgrading to 4.3.1 later.
Thank you x98car.

No prob, only thing to look out for with pkgbackup is when you update to a firmware that all your cydia stuff may not be compatible with yet. 4.2.1 should be alright for now, but in the early days of the 4.2.1 jailbreaks it was probably a little risky to use pkgbackup since it could load something back that may have not yet been compatible.
