before I jailbreak (need help)

HighFilter · Feb 16, 2011

Hi guys new to the forum and been searching around for awhile now for answers.

About to get a new iphone 4 from at&t. Basically I wanna know if i should use Tiny Umbrella to back up SHSH blobs before i even plug it into Itunes to update to 4.2.1. -- Whats the best way to backup the iphone essentially is what im asking before upgrading.

Next after I jailbreak the iphone 4 and god forbid anything go wrong with the phone where i have to turn it into apple for repairs whats the best way to go about restoring the iphone to factory settings so when they look at it , they wont suspect ive Jailbroken it. Thanks for any help or info tips ..

Also should i take out the sim card before i jailbreak or does it even matter?

for the restore if you ever had to just plug into PC, open iTunes, find the restore button in the menu pick "as new device" option and apple will not know you were ever jailbroken

Now that the untethered jailbreak is out for 4.2.1 there's no problem in updating to it via iTunes then jailbreaking with greenpoisi0n. If you ever wish to unlock your phone in future then I suggest preserving your baseband. You can do this in tiny umbrella also. Before you jailbreak do a backup in iTunes then be sure to close it before running greenpoisi0n. Don't bother about taking your sim out...
