Hi all
thanks for your support with my last problem,
need a bit of guidance again
i have a 3GS JBroken and running perfectlly well on ios4.1
i hadnt upgraded to ios5 till now because i was waiting for a stable ios5 untethered jb.
can someone guide me on how to upgrade from 4.1 to 5.01 without loosing my current iphone apps that i have. the reason why im asking is when i upgrade to 5.01 using itunes shift + restore. wont i loose my jb momentarily and therefore risk losing my apps
 
Your first step is to backup your device via iTunes. This will save ALL non-Jailbreak data and info to restore from.

As far as your Cydia tweaks/packages... there are a couple things from Cydia that will basically do the same for all your JB stuff. I believe one is called CyBackup... not certain though.

Then you update via iTunes and it will do a fresh install of 5.0.1. During the process it will ask if you'd like to restore from your backup... select yes here.

Once that is complete it's on to the Jailbreak... which is best performed via redsn0w 0.9.10b4.

Then run run the Cydia program for your Jailbreak tweak/package backup.

Hope this helps... post back if you have any more questions. :)
