How do i backup my 2g to reinstall everything?

[blaze98]

My 2g is jailbroke and unlocked to 3.0, i am wanting to update it to 3.1 and reinstall a few things on it. it is running very slow and will crash the spring board after you use it for very long. the memory runs down to about 5mb then crashes.. i have a TON of stuff loaded on it from cydia, and everytime i remove a package it delets it then reloads the data for 10 minutes. and i have to do this on every package i try to remove.... is tehre an easier way to remove the packages and it not have to reload or would i be best to do an new restore to 3.1 and start over and install just the things i know i need? and I originally used redsnow... should i use that again or should i use black rain? i searched the site and didnt see anything on this really.

I have a bunch of contacts i want to keep and not have to re enter.

Thanks,
Blaze

I think it would be best for you to sync your contacts with GMAIL/Yahoo and then Restore as new.

Jailbreak With Blackra1n.

You can sync with your computer if you want.

Open iTunes>Devices>iPhone>Info>Check Sync Contacts> Choose where you wanna sync.
