    Default I'm an idiot...

    as the title says, I admit Im not a rocket scientist.
    I need to ask someone to hold my hand through this process, please, cuz I guarantee I can screw-up anything in a heart-beat.

    I have an iPhone 4 currently running 4.0.1
    I used "Jailbreakmenow" quite some time ago to jailbreak it.
    I have Cydia and ********** loaded.
    Cydia DOES have my ShSh on file.
    Computer OS is Windows 7 Enterprise

    First question: What do I do to keep the jailbroken updates I already have, so that I dont have to go find them and re-install them after I jailbreak to 5.0.1??

    Second Question: After I preserve my apps.....How do I ugrade my jailbreakto whatever untethered version is most current?

    I know this is all simple to yall. and Im embarrassed to have to ask for the help. But I havent faound instructions that I can understand.

    Thank you for your help.

    Whoa! Didnt say anything about piracy!!!

    I thought I was pretty clear on what I needed and why I needed it.

    That being a dumbed-down babystep on how to preserve the apps I've found installed via Cydia, etc, and then how to upgrade to the most recent untethered jailbreak.

    Nothing about piracy, there.

    Read the post.

    Actually it shows Cydia and ********.. Here usually the censored stuff is piracy related stuff..

    Backing up apps and tweaks is not recommended .
    Regarding updating follow this AS IS :
    1) download 5.0.1 for ur device.
    2) download redsn0w 0.9.10b3.
    3) open redsn0w. Create custom firmware using it.
    4) put phone in pwned dfu state.
    5) shift restore in iTunes .

    If you don't wanna preserve your baseband and don't need unlock
    1) shift restore to iOS 5.0.1
    2) jb using the redsn0w u downloaded.

    I didnt realize ******* was piracy. For that, I appologize.

    But I apparently did a poor job of adequately describing my lack of technical aptitude.

    You lost me half-way through step three.
    I dont know how to create custome firmware
    I dont know what pwned dfu is.
    I dont know what preserving baseband is.

    Do I understand that I simply upgrade to 5.0.1 via itunesand then jb using redsnow?
