[yamiyugi22]

Somebody guide me how to make a full backup for phone 4s (5.01 9A406) before I jailbreak it. Make sure when I restore it, the FW will be still the same (5.01 9A406), and the jailbreak have to disappear. Like a new iphone 4s at begining when I bought it. please help me...

-----I used "iPhone4,1_5.0.1_9A406_Restore.ipsw" tried to shift-restore in itune, but it said error 3194. I used software such as Tinyumbrella, iSHSH, and delete the host file, but it still the same error 3194.

In short: I want to make sure the full backup, after I jailbreak I can still restore like a new iphone 4s (5.01 9A406) I bought.

YOU CANT! because apple stopped sigining 5.0.1. so yo will have to restore to 5.1. and a backup wont being back the firmware. sorry

To backup just right-click the device in iTunes and select "backup." However, like Friday1234 said, you will not be able to restore 5.0.1. If you want to jailbreak, you will have to keep your phone the way it is right now and just jailbreak it.

don't worry for the iOS 5.1, it didn't get into your iPhone, it was downloading into your computer and afterward would have install it into your iPhone. You can even download it completely into your computer and leave it there, it will never get installed into your iPhone without asking you for confirmation.
You can use Skype, or FaceTime, or yahoo messenger, or apps alike to make phone call via wifi.
As for group messages, i do not have experience with it, so i can't help on that.

You can also tap download and install on the phone itself, but once it's done downloading it won't install until you tap "install now".

My iOS 5.1 update jut started downloading by itself......without me doing anything.

It was auto download (ios 5.1) in my Iphone 4s not my PC. I used itool and went to var -> mobileSoftUpdate ..( I deleted everything there around 500MB ) am I doing right? , but when I go back general to check, and it is still "Install" not " download and install"..Did I do something wrong?

Group message, nobody know how to help me this?

You didn't have to do anything. All ya had to do was "not " tap install. Simple. The probably cannot recognize that the update is removed. Cuz that's not suppose to happen. Just don't go in that section of settings. How hard is that?lol

I know...it took 500-800MB in my iphone 4s..I just tried to delete it to reduce GB in my iphones...

I don't know when I deleted all data in var -> mobileSoftUpdate , but in the general it is not change from "install" to "download and install" ...just tell me " did I deleted right one for ios 5.1 in var -> mobileSoftUpdate ?
