Hello everyone :)
I recently found my old 4th gen iPod Touch and decided to sell it. It's on iOS 5.0.1 and it's jailbroken. Looks like I did loads of theming and tweaking back in the day.
I'm not sure what's the best way to get it ready to sell. Do I just restore it through iTunes or should I try to remove most of the tweaks first? I definitely don't want to update it to iOS6 because I've heard it's a lot slower. I've also read that if I restore it or wipe it a certain way, it could be difficult to jailbreak it again(in case the buyer decides to do so).
How do I go about this?

EDIT: Figured it out. Restored my iPod with Semi-Restore(iLEX RAT apparently doesn't have that option anymore). Now all my data and the tweaks have been deleted, jailbreak still intact.

Cool. I was gonna say do the erase all data and contents twice and you should be good to go. I have sold iPod touches in the past that way and no issues.
