JB to ios5 question... Dont kill me

[cforand1293]

Ok, I have no idea how this works. I have a iphone4 JB running 4.3.2. Wanting to try the new ios5, but not sure what will happen to my JB. Do i need to do anything before I update? I know this may seem like a stupid question but I really dont know the answer..

Thanks

You will lose the jailbreak, but you can jailbreak ios5 after updating although it will be tethered.

Cool, what do you mean by tethered? I understand the meaning via MiWi... but not sure its the same context.

Means when your phone dies or shuts off you will need to connect to your computer and use whatever JB tool you used to boot again..basically
