Restore backup or set up as new iPhone?
We do not recommend backup restore through iTunes if these were made by a firmware 3.0.x. A substantial firmware update results in significant changes that often a backup can change, compromising the proper functioning of the device. It ‘always advisable to configure your phone as a new device .. up to run a manual backup (via SSH) only for SMS. For the address book, mail, bookmarks, applications, music and photos, to do a new sync with iTunes. For applications Cydia, reinstall only those necessary.
it said it was done and to wait for reboot but when i looked at my ipod nothing was different and it didnt have the blackra1n icon or cydia icon anywhere i dont see where i screwed up i followed the steps
