Ok so I really wanna jailbreak my iPhone 5 but I'm really nervous it might "brick" even though its a rare occurrence. I was thinking of using Evasi0n to complete the jailbreak but I need an opinion on what is best to use.. Also before you jailbreak you have to create a back up, and I'm not sure if that means just to back it up and Keep everything on your phone how it is, or back it up and restore it to factory settings then do the jailbreak and put everything back on it? Please help!

You only have 1 option, evasi0n...

just do a regular backup through itunes, you don't need to restore to factory settings.

here's a guide to do it.
