Hi Everyone,

I am currently running iOS 6.1 Jailbroken, I have read that it is recommended to set up a new device after installing iOS7, since restoring from and old jailbroken backup can bring back a bunch of unwanted files and can slow the OS and diminish the battery faster.

so if i set up a new device, how do i get my old data back without restoring ? (Mainly Contacts,Messages,Photos and WhatsApp Messages)

Cheers

You'll be moving from a jailbroken state to a non-jailbroken state, so backing up with iTunes is detrimental to storage as well as resource management because of the saved/backed up jailbroken data. And because you can't root your device on iOS 7, transferring data whilst not transferring the jailbroken portion can be a difficult process if you have a lot of data. You can back up your device to the cloud as mentioned, or you'll have to manually back them up to your computer or sync them over to a service such as an email account, restore/upgrade, then re-sync them back.
