Hi all, I have an US Iphone 3G 16GB jailbroken (3.1.2) and unlocked: i use it in Italy.
The major problem is that now many of my apps don't work anymore. It's happening frequently when i update an app: it stops working. I think maybe it's because of the old firmware: Itunes tells me it's available the 4.2 version, but i never update not to loose the jailbreak and most of all the unlocking. Some apps, youtube for example, never worked well with jailbreak. Now I'd really like to update firmware to the latest jailbreak available, the 4.2.1 I think, but I'm not sure what is the easyest and safest way to do that, most of all not to loose unlocking. It's not important if I loose the cydia installed apps, because they are a few. But I have to be sure that at the end the Iphone will remain unlocked: i've seen that a good way to jailbreak again now is to use jailbreakme.com, but I'm not sure that it works with my old 3G.
So what can I do? Restore the Iphone via Itunes to the barebone, then Jailbreak and unlock (which software?), but then how to recover itunes apps and iphone data?
The second problem i've always had is that when i try to connect to the internet with the Iphone, the first message I get is: "impossible to connect...". Then I have to sleep the Iphone and wake it with the button and this second time it connects perfectly. It's a bit annoying. I don't know if this too is related to the jailbreaking or it's a hardware problem. When I use the Iphone for tethering, no problem occurs and it connects immediately.
Thanks very much for any help!
