Delete Downloaded OTA Update

[Oscar_D_Grouch]

I jailbroke my stepdad's iPhone 4 today which was on 5.0.1, but it had already downloaded the 5.1 update...how do I delete an update that has already downloaded?

Have you updated the iPhone or just downloaded the update?

 

[Oscar_D_Grouch]

The update just auto downloaded, it is not installed.

 

[joel406]

I would not worry about it. As long as you refuse the update when prompted for it you will not update.

Well, it's not my phone, it's my stepdad's and I have told him not to update repeatedly but...this is also the guy who I had to, on more than one occasion, explain the difference between the URL and search fields on Firefox. lol

He wants to be able to have themes.

Oscar, search Cydia using the word "update". There's a tweak that will prevent the download, There may be one that prevents the installation, or even clears the download out completely.

Yeah, though I don't know if it'll help once you've already downloaded the update, but the [free] tweak on Cydia is called "No Update." It worked well for me, BUT - I did not have the update to 5.1 installed before I got the tweak.

Maybe you can get the developer's contact info and ask him/her if it will help in this case? Regardless, good luck (from a fellow "family IT person who's scared of what they'd do").
