Update firmware?

[droop4]

Can I update to 4.1 already?
Will I lose the ability to send/receive MMS, data plans and such?

How about cydia and it's apps/download?

Sorry for the silly questions, I'm new to this but I love it and can't wait to be a bit more savvy on the subject!

If you update to the official 4.1 you'll lose your unlock for a while.

You need to use custom firmware(to preserve your baseband, which determines if you can be unlocked or not), made with pwnagetools. (theres a jailbreaking/unlocking section in this forum that would probably help)

As far as MMS, you'd have to set it up again, download the commcenter patch, then the appropriate carrier bundle. (alot more information is in the sticky section, of the t-mobile subforum)

Lose my unlock?
Ok
So there's no unluck yet?
You can't do it like I did at first with the cydia download(snowphone or something like that)

Nope, theres no unlock for a virgin 4.1 device. You'd have to use a custom firmware, which will preserve your baseband, so you can safely update to 4.1 and still be able to unlock.

You need a mac for this, or you'll have to find somewhere online that has custom firmwares available (but be sure they are reliable)

If you don't want to go through all that, you can just wait until 4.2 is released in a few weeks, once thats out the new unlock should be available, letting you unlock the phone the same way you previously did.

Do you have you shsh saved with cydia for 4.1?

+1 for the advice about using PwnageTool 4.1.2. Baseband/unlock (use with any SIM) option is preserved.

Don't forget to backup your Cydia apps (AptBackup/PkgBackup) before your final sync (before PwnageTool) or you'll be forced to manually reinstall them
