Okay, can someone make sure I did this right?
I was previously on the OTA 6.1, so I plugged my phone into iTunes, and clicked restore. iTunes downloaded a file for about 10 min from the servers, so I am guessing it reinstalled 6.1 (but this time not from OTA).
So I think I have iTunes 6.1 on the phone, and before I restored my settings via iCloud, I opened tinyumbrella and clicked "save SHSH." This only took a few seconds, and left a file on my desktop (I changed the file location) that says:
"_______-iphone5,2-6.1.shsh" wherein there is a string of numbers where the underscore is.
Is that the right way to save the SHSH in preparation for jailbreak? Anything else I need to save? I am confused since the shsh file seems so small. I thought it would be bigger.
Also, do I need to resave the SHSH file after I restore my settings via iCloud?
Anything else I need to save? I recall there was some way to save an ipsw file or something like that via itunes, but that was years ago when I was on my 3GS.
Thank you for your help!
**also, after the restore, itunes said that my carrier settings have updated and gave me the choice of updating them. I clicked yes. Is that ok for jailbreak?
