    Default 3GS 4.1 to iOS5 Help Needed

    Hi,

    Have a 3GS currently on 4.1 and used limerain to jailbreak.

    Looking to upgrade to iOS5 but keep getting error messages within iTunes.

    What is the correct way to upgrade (after backup) and would I then use redsn0w?

    Additional info:
    Modem firmware 05.14.02 but, phone has been unlocked by carrier. dont need to worry about baseband updating?
    Have new bootrom.

    Thanks everyone......

    You have to restore to 5.0 not update. Put the phone in dfu and restore in iTunes. Make sure your hosts are pointed to apple or you will get error 3194.

    It is a tethered jailbreak on 5.0 though.

    Open tiny umbrella
    Click on advanced
    deselect the box that says "set hosts to cydia on exit"
    Close tiny umbrella and proceed with the restore
