Things I wish I had thought through yesterday I suffer for today. 

So, everytime I have been plugging my iPhone in it has bleated about a software update, which I have been ignoring as I have Jailbroken the phone.

Last night I lost patience with it and decided to upgrade my phone to the latest code. I am not planning on leaving O2 (sadly) so I could just do the upgrade via iTunes, so I did.


Okay, you know what's happening don't you? Yep, complete wipe of my iPhone, everything gone. No problem restore... that worked for AppStore stuff. The next step was to Jailbreak it again with quickpwn, and this is when I got upset...

Yep, all the apps I had from Cydia were gone! I wish I had thought about this first. Ah well, manual re-install in probably not the end of the world as it'll end up with a cleaner device right?

To save my butt in future I decided to try APTBackup, which backs up a list of the Cydia apps and automates re-installation of apps, no data though ok.

Gave it a test try and you know what it didn't work. :-( Infinite reboot loop, which I notice a few other people have struck. I am going to try again, well the next time I need to.

Anyway... a reliable backup app for iPhone is needed I think, something that takes your data and apps would be cool.

Anyway... having done all that I learn that v3.0 of the Apple iPhone firmware is apparently due next week; typical eh?!
