Yes, using RedSn0w. The iPad was fine, the 3GS had a slight fit and I had to do it again and then it was fine.

If you have already jailbroken your phone, and then update it, will you lose all of the stuff you've downloaded from installous even if you jailbreak the latest software straight away? If you do, then can you back it up first and put it back manually?

Pretty sure you will need to add stuff back on as the pwnage system requires a restore on the device. I will probably give it a shot later and report back as I am on 4.1 at present

The back-up will copy back all your applications. So you install 4.3.1, jailbreak, restore from back-up.

I paid for pkgbackup brilliant app from cydia to back up all cydia apps and tweaks, upload your backup to dropbox then restore once jailbroken again.

Saves me hours add repos and downloading tweaks

Just about to give it a shot, will report back.

Oh and when people mention installous, are you actually talking about Hackulo.us?

The repository of cydia.hackulo.us but the application of installous from that repository.

Ok, thought that was possibly the case. Checked my repositories before JB'ing anyway. Just restored ok, adding "AppSync for 4.0+" from the Hackulo.us repo, and then will synch device to get apps back on, and finally spend 30 mins getting many gig worths of music back onto the device, thankfully I've got a playlist containing everything the iPhone had on it prior to the restore.

The happy legal (ish) point is that you can run things that Apple didn't intend you to: Sharing your 3G connection (although that is now included, at a cost), loading emulators etc..

The illegal reason is that you can run pirated applications.

I like it from a development viewpoint as it allows me to test a few things out, to see if there might be any way for others with jailbroken phones to access things in an app they should not be able to, for example, grab an encrypted file from within an application's folder and copy it elsewhere to access it.

There is also the issue of unlocking a phone to work on any network. Only recently has Apple provided factory unlocked phones, prior to that it was up to the network if they wanted to unlock it for you at end of contract. Unlocking is of advantage if you travel to different countries and wish to use a local SIM card, and thus avoid horrendous data / voice roaming charges.
