How to update my jailbroken iPhone?
When I download games or other applications on Apps Store, some of it said that it requires iOS 5 or iOS 4.something… So i asked my classmate about it, he said that i can't update my iPhone anymore because it's Jailbroken. Is it true? If not, then how can i update it? Btw, please make your answer be more specific because i don't know much about iPhone… Thanks in advance!
Yes you can but if you update, it becomes 'un-jailbroken'. But the apps you downloaded when it is jailbroke, will not be removed.
Ok, First make sure that you backed up all your media onto your computer, or if you are using icloud you will be able to retrieve your data through icloud after the upgrade. This includes all your apps, music, contacts, camera role ext… You can also right click on the phone image on the sidebar on iTunes and the Backup option will appear. I recommend u update through iTunes because there's a chance the wireless upgrade will not work on jailbroken devices. Once you backup everything, you can go ahead with the upgrade. After selecting the upgrade option, press the download and install option. The download will be around 700 MB. The installation will begin by backing up your device, just incase you don't back it up in the previous step, this will be covered here. If the installation fails then choose the restore option, don't worry, everything is backed up.once you have restored it it will automatically update your iphone to the latest firmware package, in your case ios 6.0.1. Once the restore takes place then you can restore from backup.
Don't worry there's no way your phone will be bricked after these steps, everything is backed up either to your icloud account or onto your computer.
You can update your device, but doing so will remove the jailbreak from it. Which means that you have to re-jailbreak it once the update process is complete.
