Upgrade old jailbroken iOS 5.0, without losing Apps

[icebergx]

Hi all,

I have a semi-tethered iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.
Can someone please explain how I can upgrade to a Jailbroken 5.1.1 using Absinthe 2.0, without having to re-install my cracked Apps like SBS Settings, and Angry Birds?

Of course I could just download the iOS 5.1.1, then Jailbreak it, by I guess this will mean I lose my Apps in the process.


Thanks.

As per forum rules, we cannot help with regard to warez, cracked apps, etc.

Anyways SBSettings is free and Angry Birds is 99¢.

To update to 5.1.1; you need to backup your device, restore it in iTunes to 5.1.1, and then jailbreak it via Absinthe 2.0; after the jailbreak, you can restore from your backup through iTunes.

Thanks for your help.
So when I backup my iPhone in iTunes, does itr save all my Apps to iTunes (ie an identical image of my iPhone) or does it simply keep a list of all the Apps, then re-download the Apps when I restore the backup through iTunes?

Thanks.

All your paid apps will be restored.

You cant update your firmware and JB without having to reinstall your appstore apps and your cydia apps.
