How to backup your iPhone data{Using ifunbox/Isprit}

These are instructions on how to backup your phone data via SHSH using explorer's
*NOTE: These Guide's are applicable only on jailbreak device's

After updating your jailbreaked iPhone to a new firmware it is always advised to set you phone as a new phone during the first sync after updating and jailbreaking. This will save you from battery drainage, unexpected reboot, hanging etc. If you set your phone as a new phone you will loose many valuable data like Received SMS, Contacts, Call History, Notes, Calender etc. To overcome this problem you are advised to manually backup your iPhone data before updating your iPhone to new firmware. The process is very easy all you need is a Jailbreaked iPhone with SSH installed already or use
i-FunBox /ispirit.


How to save Contacts Database:

◦SSH into the iPhone and go to /private/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook
◦you will find 2 files there. save them on your computer.

How to save Messages Database:

◦SSH to your phone and go to /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS
◦Save sms.db on your computer


How to backup Calendar:

NOTE:
For videos shot with iPhone 3Gs, you need the same path ( correct me if i am wrong )

How to backup Mail:

Email itself doesn't need any backup. Your iPhone or your computer is not the server for your email accounts, so you don't need to worry about loosing your emails accounts. However, you might want to save your email account as you set them up on your iPhone, so you wont need to go to all that process once again.

◦SSH into your device
◦go to /private/var/mobile/library/ and just copy the folder called “Mail” to your computer

Exclamation [Warning] New iPhone 3GS 8GB Hardware Do not unlock with iPad Baseband [Warning]

Apple has released a brand new iPhone 3GS that have a new bootroom this 28 weeks of 2011.
Version is 4.3.5 with baseband 5.14.
A lot of jailbreakers and unlockers have encountered that when you update this baseband to 6.15 to unlock it,
You got corrupted baseband and it cannot used anymore.
Symptoms are:
No wifi
No ECID
No Imei
No bluetooth

as of now all informations i've got is all serial up to XXX109XXX is risky to update baseband.

XX109XX = 1 is the year of 2011 and 09 is week 9 of 1 year.
so if serial is XX931XXX means 2009 with week 31.
and its safe to update baseband.

Much better check the serial first before you update to baseband 6.15




THANX FOR EVERY ONE WORKS ON THIS INFO..And be carful.
