How to upgrade a jailbroken iPhone?
Ok so I have an iPhone 4s it's jailbroken on ios 5.1.1 which is not illegal it's just frowned on by apple. Anyway how do I upgrade to ios 6.1.1 I don't mind about losing all the jb apps I have installed as I got em backed up by pkg backup but I don't want to brick my phone so do I just hit the update button on iTunes or is there another way.
Apple upgrades are what bricks the phones and is done so on purpose by apple. There's a 50/50 chance it will brick and there's no way of knowing until you do it.
If you restore your phone to factory defaults first it should work but as of yet I have not seen that anyone has figured out how to jailbreak the new ios so you will have to live with all of apples restrictions if you do that.
