How to update a jailbroken iPod Touch without app/data loss?
- Hey guys, I've gotten countless help from this site for my mobile troubles. I figured I'd give it a try for the iPod Touch.
I have a jailbroken 32gb iPod Touch. This is the older model without the volume rocker or internal speaker . I purchased this Touch used about a year ago already jailbroken so I'm not sure the much about jailbreaking. When the iPod powers on, it shows a giant multicolored Apple with words similar to "iPwned with WinPwn."
I added a few apps/changed the theme and have been very happy with the device . I honestly had no need to update to 3.1.X ...well, until I played with my friends jailbroken 3.1.X :wow:. I love the new features and I noticed that many apps I have now cannot be updated due to having an out dated software version.
Unfortunately I heard that I will lose all my jailbroken apps and my iPod's appearance settings (WinterBoard) if I update my iPod. That's what kept me from updating in the past. I know it's been a few months since I last read up on the matter, but is there a way to go from jailbroken 2.0.1 to the newest jailbroken version without losing anything? If so, can anyone tell me how, or point me to an "up-to-date" method of how? I'm not a technology n00b, but iPhones/iPod Touches are not my specialties. In the software world, things are constantly changing. I found a few tutorials via a Google search, but the posted date is from months ago : (.
