    Default Restoring a jailbreak.

    I sent the following message to Saurik 6 days ago but have not received a response. So, I thought I'd try here.

    Just 2 weeks ago, I spent all day updating my jailbroken 3gs 3.0.1 to jailbroken 3.1. Granted, the majority of the time was spent designing and tweaking the look and sound of my iPhone. I use AT&T, so I don't bother "unlocking" the phone. I just want it to look and sound the way I want it to look and sound.

    Now, not even a week to enjoy it, Apple comes out with 3.1.2. I already assume that I should go through the same process I did last time - that was easy.

    What's hard is having to download all the software from Cydia and installing it all over again. Then, I have the task and returning the look and sound of my iPhone to how I want it. I am not looking forward to going through that process again!

    I was hoping there was a way of restoring my Jailbreak? In other words, once I update to jailbreak 3.1.2, is there a way to automatically restore everything that was installed from Cydia previously and to restore the settings that I had spent all day tweaking?

    As of yet, I have not updated to 3.1.2. Hoping for an easy solution first.

    Thanks!

    There are a few backup programs for Cydia, APTbackup, Pkgbackup and Rock has the option to backup & restore your programs for you after a fresh install.
    Saurik is not going to reply to you because all you had to do was google "cydia backup" and you would have had your answer.....

    Ah, the magic word combination I didn't think of, "Cydia backup"

    Thanks!

    I'll let you know how it works.
