Hi,

I have a very specific question and I could not find it in the forum.
If this was answered previously, please forgive me and if possible point me to the right thread..

I have the old 2G Iphone running 2.1, unlocked and jailbroken.

It works well, but I am finding that apps crash as they update.
For example, Cydia no longer works, it opens and crashes.
I am able to get into Installous, but most apps wont run on 2.1

I want to update to the latest version without losing my apps and of course, without losing the ability to run it with my non AT&T phone provider.

To make matters more complicated, I have not been able to sync with Itunes because the mac that it was syncing to was yanked away when I was laid off.
I was using Mediamonkey for music, but that no longer works.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to do this, step-by-step.
Do I have to update, then unlock and jailbreak?
Can I stay unlocked and jailbroken and still update?
Can I avoid Itunes?(I hate it)
I think most people are updating newer phones for

I have AptBackup installed, but am worried it wont work.

Any help would be most appreciated!!!

Thanks
