Restore re-JB Quick Question

[crc4]

I'm on 5.0 and want to update to 5.0.1 (before 5.1 is forced).

My question, when the promt comes, do I restore as new device, or do I restore from back-up?
thanks 🙂

you can do either but doing as new is the cleanest way.

So back up as new, (then how to I get all my contacts, sms, ect back on my phone?)

It's over, read this...........................

BE VERY CAREFUL, WATCH WHAT YOUR DOING !!!

When promted if I want to download and update to 5.0.1, I clicked ok
(but the next screen that popped was for 5.1, (not 5.0.1)
I quickly unplugged my JB4s, then clicked cancel on the screen.


SO BE CAREFUL, don't click on 5.0.1 without watching for what pops up in the next window. 😉

Thank you trijet but I have decided im gonna stay right here on 5.0

I am not have issuse with 5.0, and if I have issues with 5.0.1 I will be stuck not being able to go backwards, nor forward, (without losing my JB).

thanks to labman as well for his reply. 🙂

thats the case anyway, if something makes you restore you'll have to move to 5.1

Everything sure seems to be a risky proposition -
I'm gonna be super careful installing any furture tweaks, (making sure they r fully tested and don't cause me to have to restore).

Should I make blobs just in case there is a future backport, or do you thinks it's a waste of time?
