Previous iPhone Stuff After Jailbreak, How Can I Get Stuff Back?

[Spliff]

Sorry this maybe a dumb question, but I finally jailbroke my iPhone after about 8 months of use. Obviously when this was done I lost all my previously stored Apps, bookmarks, addresses etc.

Is there a way to restore this stuff as I know you're not supposed to use iTunes anymore as this will revert back to the original firmware?

You cannot RESTORE in iTunes without reverting back to the stock flash.

iTunes itself does not recognize the jailbreak and attempt to change it or anything of that nature. Just open iTunes and sync.

Ahh I see, just doing a synch is good. Thanks dude.

Actually, you can. In fact, that's exactly how I Jailbroke my iPhone on 2.2.1 AND preserved the 02.28.00 baseband. How? A custom Firmware, and a good old shift-click restore

How do you do a data synch in iTunes after Jailbreak? When I open up iTunes, it obviously doesn't recognize my newly jailbroken iPhone and asks if I want to restore to a previous setting (which will wipe all all the jailbreak data).

How can I get my previous data back while retaining the jailbreak firmware?

Just choose the option to set up as a new phone. The it'll make you enter a name for your phone...and then you can go ahead and re-sync. It won't erase your jailbreak.

I believe when I jailbroke my iPhone, I just picked "restore from backup" at that point, and it copied back all my previous settings including email settings, text & call records, etc, without interfering with the jailbreak.

Yes, you choose "set up as a new phone" first, and then go ahead and restore from backup afterward.

That's what I've always done, never had any problems.

If you have created the backup for your data. The backup saves eveything and you can get all your files when you jailbreak.
