hey everyone who might read this
so i am currently running 4.0 on an itouch 3g and i used jailbrakeme.com to jailbrake (dont know if that matters) but i want to upgrade to 4.1 and re-jailbrake later
normaly i wouldnt care about doing this but i do have a few paid apps from cydia and apps that store data that i do not want to lose
how can i backup these apps?

thanks!

and if this is in the wrong place can a mod please move it

First.. in Cydia make sure your shsh blob is SAVED.
proof of such is the green text in the image below.


Now... to your question... in Cydia install an app by the name of AptBackup.

Once installed, go into AptBackup, and press "BACKUP". Now Sync with iTunes, so that iTunes makes a backup of your device.

In AptBackup are the simple directions get all your jailbreak apps back once you Jailbreak 4.1

***the jailbreak for 4.1 is not yet released, but should be very soon***

that green text is red and says "upgrading to 4.0.2? read this" but it was green with 3.1.2 last time i looked at it..will this work anyway?

You need the text at the TOP to read "this device has SHSHs for 4.0.1"

Honestly... If I were you.. Just wait a day or two for the jailbreak of 4.1, it's untethered and will be really nice.

Be patient... If possible.
