Question about software update

[mach1man]

Ok so I'm thinking of getting ready of my jailbreak to return to stock. I want my dad to have the phone that's why I'm losing jailbreak. Lol. If I update to the new software is that all I need to do?

No, you have to put it into dfu mode first then restore it. Ask him if he wants it jailbroke

For the iPhone 5 I thought you just accepted the update and it erased jailbreak

The updates don't exactly matter above iOS 6.0.2 for the iPhone 5. 6.1.4 fixes a speaker/sound bug, but I don't see a difference at all. To wipe your jailbreak data, use ILEX RAT to do so, it'll revert it back to a freshly jailbroken stage.

As for your stock user data, you'll have to manually delete those.

Then do a DFU restore. A restore completely wipes the device of everything.

Ok so I put it in dfu mode and restore? So that will update me to 6.1.4? What would happen if I just click update to 6.1.4 when I connect it to iTunes?

If you click the restore button without putting it into DFU mode, you'll end up with 2 possibilities

• boat loads of errors that can be prevented by putting your device into DFU mode
• if you try enough times or use enough methods, you can brick your device

Convincing enough?

Yes sir. Thank you so much. So tonight I'll put it into DFU mode then restore. Thank you willerz

I just went from 6.1.2 jail broken and decide to update and remove the jailbreak. All I did was plug my phone into the computer and in iTunes download 6.1.4 and then did a backup and finally did the restore and everything was fine for me. That is how I have always done it.
