How to restore Jailbroken Iphone 4s without updating?

I have a 32gb AT&T Iphone 4s running on jailbroken 5.0.1. I need to restore my iphone, and I do NOT want to update. I don't really want to keep the jailbreak either. The only things I need to keep are my notes (they don't need to go back on the phone, just need the text), and if possible, messages and contacts. The last two don't matter that much.

Watch this, I don't know if this will save all of your stuff but its how to go back to 5.0.1

If you restore your iPhone with iTunes, you will get update. So, you need another free iPhone backup and restore tool, like Syncios.

I'm using Syncios for backup, but do not know how it works for restore. It is totally free, you may have a try.

  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
