Root partition? JB iPhone 4 4.3.1 pwnage

[crazy$hark]

I am going to jailbreak my iphone 4 using pwnage. When jailbreaking it asks for the root partition size. What is root partition? Can it be deleted when restoring iphone? also how much root partition will i need if i am going to install 1-5 apps from cydia?

Why are you in expert mode when you clearly aren't an expert?

leave it default...
I recommend you go the simple mode route...

thanks, but i realized that 924mb is the minimum partition size pwnage allows you to have and it gives about 0.69mb of space

Why not just leave it at it's default setting?

i probably will, im just trying to find the root partition size in simple mode so that i can take the better one

also by any chance, do you know if (after JB my phone) when i sync the apps i bought, will the save game on them be the same?

You might want to take this to the hacking forum.

I think they will if you restore from backup. Not positive though.

last question (it may sound stupid)

do i need to update my phone through itunes to 4.3.1 to jb 4.3.1 or can i leave it at 4.3. (cause i am still gonna restore it from 4.3.1 custom firmware)

no need if you are using PwnageTool; iTunes vanilla FW update is for RedSn0w.

I can't knock that. Good for you for wanting to learn about something by doing it. Just don't whine if you screw anything up, okay?
