Hello all,
Wondering if anyone can help with this.
I bought an iPhone 3GS a week after they were released in the UK. I was eager to jailbreak it straight away and a few days after I purchased the phone, the purplerain jailbreak came out (I believe the first version that supported 3GS).
I used this to jailbreak my phone and it worked perfectly.
Since then I've not updated my phone or anything - I am still at Verion 3.0 (7A341) firmware. I have also never updated iTunes, and now have recently formatted my desktop computer so will have to download the latest version of iTunes (which I am happy to do but realise there could be a problem depending on what jailbreak app I use).
Lately Cydia has started to bug on me - Failing to load properly mainly. I did some reading on this and the other problems I've had and a few people mentioned to reset the phone and jailbreak again.
I've wanted to upgrade my phone for a while but I am confused about what I can and can't do.
I want to hard reset my phone and then re-jailbreak once more. I was just wondering if it will be as simple as that?
Likewise, I am unsure what jailbreak I should use - I notice purplera1n now appear to be blackra1n but warns against using the latest version of itunes and particular version of firmware on the phone etc.. Perhaps I should be looking at Dev Team's release instead? I'm just confused about what I should be using here as I am of course nervous about bricking my phone!
If someone could suggest what the best thing to do here is I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tom
