i recently update from ios 4.3.3 to ios 5.0.1. i did it because i like the new iMessage, iCloud and screen notifcations. but i also wanted to wait for the untethered JB. prior to the untethered JB, i didnt want upgrade. also, dont forget to preserve your baseband if you decide to upgrade to 5.0.1. even if your not interested in being able to unluck, i would preserve the baseband in case you decide to sell as unlockable baseband have more resale value.

1.59.00 4.0/4.0.1/4.0.2 Yes (Ultrasn0w)
2.10.04 4.1 Gevey Sim
3.10.01 4.2.1 Gevey Sim
4.10.01 4.3.X Gevey Sim

Yes it is Good to update.. But do u rely on unlock?

It should be OK to upgrade and rejailbreak, but you should take precautions if you're unlocked.

iOS 5 is pretty cool - I like the added features to the App Store, and iCloud. Safari seems a little snappier, too. Not all jailbreak apps are 100% compatible, though. FolderEnhancer just fixed a major bug in its software, and Multiflow will crash apps in the background on occasion. As time goes by all the wrinkles will be ironed out, though.

hi
thanx for ur advise i have already leggaly unlocked my phone through my service provider.still do i need to preserve my baseband and how can i do that

i have already leggaly unlocked my phone by my provider and to unlock i dont need to backup and restore as it was heard before. i simply connect my phone to itunes not the latest version but what ever version i was using without updating my itune my service provider was asking me again and again to download new version of itune which sounded bit fishy to me so i ignore him and used old version of itune connect my phone to pc and started itune and after auto sync i recieved message on itune screen saying congratulations ur phone is unlocked. still because i am new to jailbreak thingy can u advice do i need to preserve my base band which is 2. something before i upgrade and how can i do that?

If your iphone is legally unlocked, then you don't need to preserve your baseband anymore.

If the carrier unlocked it then it should be unlocked forever. So preserving baseband is not needed as it should forever be unlocked. If 5.1 was to drop tomorrow then you would have less than a day to update to 5.0.1 to have a jailbreak. shortly after 5.1 drops then they will no longer allow you to update to 5.0.1 because apple will stop signing it.

So best to get it out of the way now incase you have to do some restores if issues arise.

i dont actually rember what tool for jail breaking i have used in past so how can i preserve my base band and do i need to use same jailbreak to jailbreak IOS 5.01 or can i just use any jailbreak is gud for jailbreaking 5.01 IOS

[Cer0]

There should be no need to preserve baseband if you are legally unlocked. If the carrier did it then you are basically factory unlocked for good. So baseband will never matter anymroe.

I always update to the firmware then jailbreak after. I used redsnow this round and have no issues.

If you are sure your provider has unlocked it for you then do a restore to 5.0.1, amswer the welcome wizard and plug your iphone into itunes, a message pops up saying your iphone is factory unlocked
Use Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 to jailbreak at 5.0.1.

thanx cer0 i was just wondring do i need to same jailbreak which i have used last time to jailbreak my IOS 4.1 after upgrading it to 5.01 or i can just use any jailbreak and can i do uthethered jailbreak on IOS 5.01

[Schmidtjacob8]

You can use any jailbreak. For example if you used sn0wbreeze on 4.1 then you can use redsn0w on 5.0.1 with no issues.

Just use the newest version of redsn0w, which is 0.9.10b3.

[gr.jatt]

You're going to have to jailbreak before you try to restore back any apps you received through jailbreak.

You didn't use Tiny umbrella , did you ? Your iTunes must be at least 10.5. Host file must not be pointed towards cydia server.

Apptrackr is piracy. Please don't discuss it or give info on how to illegally install apps.

^This. We can not help you with the piracy problem. Normal jailbreak stuff is ok.
