Do I just update to iOS 12.4 like you normally do ?
 
You have to restore as new. Update. Restore from backup. Then jailbreak.

This is not true!

If you are using Unc0ver, you can use the "Restore RootFS" option in the app. This will uninstall the tweaks and Jailbreak completely. Then, go and delete the Unc0ver app from your Profile Manager and update normally via iTunes.

After this, re-install the Unc0ver app and re-jailbreak! Mine worked perfectly upgrading and re-jailbreaking this way.
 
All I did was download the 12.4 software on my computer, shift+update and clicked on the ipsw then it updated it without a hitch. After it was updated, I installed the new jailbreak using Impactor and the .ipa. After it was jailbroken, I just had to reinstall the tweaks but it kept all of the preferences so I didn't have the set everything up again. It was actually only about a 15 minute ordeal.

Okay, I'm wondering if the route I wanna take will work and what you described sounds very similar. I'm on 12.1.2 and jailbroken. Since it's technically a semi-tether, if I restart my phone into an unjailbroken state, update to 12.4, install the newest unc0ver ipa, jailbreak, I won't run into an issues causing me to have to restore?

I just don't wanna go through the hassle of resyncing all my music and doing the backup stuff. Dx

That is what I did and that is what I would do if I were you.

For the first time I jailbroked my iphone6plus using Impactor 5.2 and unC0ver 3.5.6.

Just discovered ReProvision from this discussion (thanks guys) and I went ahead to install and signed my unC0ver with it. Now my question is, if I go ahead and shutdown my iPhone, I understand I do not need to re-jailbreak it?

Appreciate your responses.

And the other question I have is that I could not run unC0ver any more. This is for me to check updates, etc. I just gives me a message regarding Untrusted Developer using the developer id that I used to install the unC0ver package.

Do not shutdown your iPhone as you will lose your jailbreak. Just re-start or re-spring if you need to.
