It will only brick if you have it unlocked. Have you modded or unlocked as well?

I heard if you added app tap such as I have , your phone will ne broker if you upgrade it

[Ramesh]

That's not true. If you take a little time to do some searching, you'll find that UNLOCKING (not yelling, just caps for emphasis) could brick your phone, not MODDING by itself. But again - have you unlocked your phone, or simply modded? That's the first question that needs to be answered before you attempt anything.

Also - why are you wanting to restore? Are you having problems?

[rgarjr]

My phone is unlocked and jailbroken, currently at 1.1.1 using ATT carrier. Does it mean that if I take an upgrade on Itunes it will brick?

[Ramesh]

If I remember correctly, I don't think there is an unlock for 1.1.2... I could be confusing this w/an OTB though...

[Lincoln]

If your iPhone is unlocked at all, whether it is jailbroken or not, do not restore and do not update.

If your iPhone is only jailbroken then you can restore and update. Just plug in the iPhone, and press either 'Restore' or 'Update' in iTunes.

There is an unlock for 1.1.2, just not an unlock for 1.1.2 OOTB. The reason you can do it on phones that you upgraded to 1.1.2 is because of the modem firmware. The OOTB 1.1.2 has a different modem firmware which hasn't been unlocked yet.

On a side note you will need to reviriginize your phone before upgrading.

If you are using AT&T as your carrier then why is the phone unlocked? Unlocking the phone makes it work with carriers other than AT&T. Jailbreaking is the process to make the phone work with after market software.
The main difference is that an unlocked phone may/will become bricked if upgraded but a jailbroken phone will not.

Thanks for clarifying. That's what I thought, but I got sidetracked when I went to MMi to find the answer. :D

You said you have the orig iPhone from June, you can just go in iTunes and do a sync to save all your contacts, notes etc. and do a restore and it will bring your phone back to orig. Your data will be put back on the phone.

The only thing you have to do is go back into settings and set your wifi pass again, and the same for the email accounts, everything else will be there.

[Ramesh]

you said it was unlocked, right? If it's unlocked, that's a different game.

The OP never said it was un-locked just jailed

[Ramesh]

You are right, sir. :laugh2: Forum foul - I confused OP for rgarjr. So to the OP, just follow the directions, and you'll be fine. No worry of bricking.

[Medeiros2227]

what is a wifi pass and why do I have to reset it ?

[KNK]

what is a wifi pass and why do I have to reset it ?
That is if you have a wifi router at home. Do you have one at home?

[Medeiros2227]

yes I do have a wifi router and how do I sync?

[KGMJr32]

Mine was purchased by work for work, however, it doesn't seem like it is worth it to "hack" your iphone. Can someone tell me otherwise and/or advantages?

[KNK]

Well you do not sync with you router. You can join your router wifi network and use the wifi which is so much faster for everything than it is on edge.

You need to go to settings on your iPhone and turn on wifi, and turn on ask to join wifi. Then enter your ssid router name and passPhrase.

Actually, when you click to join, the iPhone will automatecally ask if yopu want to join, click and then you will be asked for your passPhrase.

how do I sync all my contacts and things to iTunes from my phone ?

[KNK]

how do I sync all my contacts and things to iTunes from my phone ?

You have to connect the phone to iTunes. You can not do it from the phone.

[Medeiros2227]

basically , can I keep app tap add new songs and update ?

[KNK]

basically , can I keep app tap add new songs and update ?

Yes you are just syncing only. You are not updating. If iTunes ever asks if you want to update you just say no. You are safe you are keeping everything.

[Medeiros2227]

After I take off app tapp can I update ... Basically after my restore .

When you restore your phone will be like it was when you bought it..a virgin.

[Medeiros2227]

[Medeiros2227]
