I have a dilema...

I have a US IPSF unlocked iPhone - I upgraded up to 1.1.2 and have the 1.1.2 baseband on the phone.

I soft-upgraded to 1.1.3 using iJailbreak (based on Nate True's method) which means all 3rd party apps are working.

Now 1.1.4 is out - there is no immediate need to upgrade to 1.1.4 but as things stand the SDK will NOT work on my soft upgraded phone as the folders are not correctly set up on the Nate True method (I am sure you know what I mean!).

If I upgrade to 1.1.4 then I can use ZiPhone or Independence to JB and activate but I then have another issue - although the IPSF unlock remains I would then need signal.app to make it work which is annoying as it is NOT currently in installer and therefore I would have to manually add it to the phone after installing SSH - which I am reluctant to do as I am not confidant I would do it correctly!

On top of that not all 3rd party apps work on the "official" method of JB (because of the whole /mobile and /root folder issue again) so by upgrading I would lose all my 3rd party apps AND have to put them all back AND have to get signal.app onto the phone which seems like a total waste of time when there is nothing to be gained at this time... and yes I know I can unlock using ZiPhone and then I won't need Signal.app but I really don't like the idea of messing around with the baseband when I don't have to as its already unlocked!).

The first thing that would help would be having signal.app in installer...

Second would be that the developers of the 3rd party apps and/or installer (whomever is responsible) sort out the the compatiability issues.

Anyone else gone through what I am talking about and can offer me any advice and/or suggestions I would appreciate it! Thanks.
