Hmm I am kind of weary and not too confident if I want to go ahead with this ...The link in TinyUmbrella website says ...
"Plug in your device and save SHSH (make sure 4.2.1 SHSH were saved, if not don't bother continuing)"
I do have my SHSH dating as far back as 4.0.1 on Cydia, but the question is; I don't have them saved locally, do I need to have them locally on my HDD?
I heard recently that Apple does not allow Cydia servers to check with idevices, if this is true, am I missing the 4.2.1 SHSH? or can I get it from the Cydia Servers via TinyUmb. (There's an option in TU I just noticed where you can check "Request SHSH from Cydia) and download it to my local drive and use it through TinyUmb?
Sorry for the many questions, I just want this to be a painless procedure if I choose to proceed with it, rather than a daunting and painful one.
Great tip on that DataDeposit. Used that prior to updating. I also restored to factory settings, then restored from a backup, so that 10GB of 'Other' that was nothing is gone. 
It appears I didn't need to use DataBackup for some things I used it on, but the peace of mind is great to have.

Hey guys, so I'm currently sitting on 4.2.1.
I've got Cydia with SHSH blobs for:
4.0 / 4.0.1 / 4.0.2 / 4.1 / 4.2.1+ and 4.3.3
Baseband, I'm on: 05.15.04
I forgot to backup my baseband before upgrading to 4.2.1. Am I f'ed? Reason I need an unlock is I have a trip planned for the ME and I need my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

QUESTION
I am currently sitting back at JB 4.0.1 on my 3GS
I have major issues with battery life. This may just simply be due to the fact that I bought the 3GS on launch day and the battery is just fading in capacity.
I went to sleep last night with my phone at 100% and woke up with it at 65%. The phone was never touched during this time period, but the battery is still draining regardless.
Are there any known issues or settings that I could toggle that may help with my battery situation?
I keep my SSH and Location Services turned off, but that doesn't seem to be helping. I could turn off 3G and Wi-Fi when not in use as well, but I have not attempted that yet since I thought these toggled off after a period of inactivity anyway.

You can upgrade your baseband to the iPad baseband 6.15.00.
Of course that means you get your unlock back but the upgrade could be permanent. There have been rumblings that they have a way of downgrading but nothing has been said. You also run the risk of GPS malfunctioning or not working at all. If you need to restore you will need a firmware cooked with pwnagetool/sn0wbreeze with 6.15.00 in it.

Agreed, biteSMS is so much more functional than the default SMS app
I recently got an iPhone 4 about a week ago, and want to look into jailbreaking it. When you jailbreak it how bad is the "Increased risk of instability?" All I would probably want to do with it is get the apparently awesome SMS app and probably some kind of custom home screen for time/date/weather/to do list stuff like that. I'm on a plan with my parents and I opted to not get insurance on it, the guy said it was like $150+ a year and I am not a dumbass so I have never broken any phone so I opted against that, so there is nothing I would have to give up from the support side from Apple/Verizon if i were to do this right?

Yup, always use TinyUmbrella if you update to a non jailbroken firmware just to make sure you don't update the baseband. Edit: Only works for iPhone 4
On a related note, I'm getting an Apple TV tomorrow is there a reason worth jailbreaking it? Of note, all my media is on iTunes on my home server so I don't think xbmc would be very useful for me.

Can you still update a 3GS with sn0wbreeze or pwnage tool without updating the baseband?rc213 said:
Have a friend who wants me to update/jailbreak his 3GS but he needs an unlock
Also does anyone know If the dev team is working on unlocking the newer basebands? My iPhone 4 has an unlockable baseband so I'm hoping they do before the iPhone 5 comes out so I can sell it easier

-Sychronicity (use device while syncing)

Checkout iRealSMS as well, most people use biteSMS but I find iRealSMS works better.

checking out the newest beta of mobilenotifier to see if its progressed since its last beta. Can't really tell for now since I haven't gotten a push notification yet, but it seems like Peter is learning in regards to functionality. I'll probably switch back to Notified Pro and Notification GRiP after a few days, but I wanna support the guy.

I just found it's been more stable and quicker for me and there were always some weird quirks in bitesms, although I haven't used bite in a while.
DeathbyVolcano said:
I like the new smaller popups a lot more, the screen that comes up when you launch the multi tasking bar can look a bit confusing when you have an open app in the background.
maruchan said:
To be honest, I'm not sure as I almost always have my phone on vibrate so custom ringtones and led notifications aren't a big deal for me.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying bitesms is bad, I'm just saying give them both a chance as they both come with free trials.
cvxfreak said:Starting to lose hope for an unlock on basebands higher than 01.59.00.
I have an unlocked iPhone 4, but its volume down and home buttons are borked. Exchanging it means I lose my unlock, unless APple's refurbs are outdated phones.
I'm pretty sure they would never refurbish a phone and not update its software. If you really need an unlocked phone you can always buy one from Hong Kong.

All iPhone 4s? My 3G never had this issue nor did I hear about it till this recent generation of phones. I'm planning on taking mine back but I just haven't had time to unjailbreak it before it return it.

Hi guys need some help regarding file transfer to iphone 4.
I got this large image (Tiff file) and its one of those Topo Maps that you get on a GPS.
these images are huge around 60-100 mb per image.
how do I transfer them and what program should I use to watch them in my iPhone 4?
anyone got experience as using your iphone as a wilderness GPS?

If you have SBsettings installed, I would check the processes button and see if you have anything running in the background.
