iPhone Removing Jailbreak

[Matkar]

Hello, I have the Jailbreak on mhy iPhone 4S with 6.1 and I would like to remove it as I have had some inestability with it and my phone is too important too risk it in a crucial moment (LOVE it on my iPad though).

I want to remove the jailbreak without loosing some messages and photos and some app data that I dont have on my last backup prior to the jailbreak.

I understand that If I just backup through iTunes, restore with iTunes and then restore that backup NOTHING will be lost, right?

Sorry if this has been posted other times but I want to be absolutely sure this will work.

Thank you!

Sounds like you have it all figured out mate.

Thats exactly what i would do.

If he restores from that backup, won't he have some jailbreak files left on his phone that Apple could possible detect?

Restore with a back up prior to jail-breaking.

I suppose but i wouldn't think they would make that much of a difference.

Restore with a back up prior to jail-breaking.

Good point.

Restore with a back up prior to jail-breaking.

That's probably what I would do if I were the OP (personally I do everything manually and always dfu restore as new and then "manually" put everything back on that I want on it) but the OP said "I want to remove the jailbreak without loosing some messages and photos and some app data that I dont have on my last backup prior to the jailbreak."

So it sounds like that option is off the table.

True.

Personally I always make a note of when I last backed up to my mac and icloud before jail -breaking.

As I'm not concerned with SMS, game saves and app data its a solution good for me.

Sometimes situations and remedies are over thought and I've never read a thread along the lines of someone restoring to stock to seek help under their warranty and being turned away due to apple seeking out old Cydia files from a back up.

I'm thinking its more like they give it a look over in obvious places as settings and the springboard to see if non apple apps/tweaks are present !

I may be wrong.

For warranty or service issues Apple wont' look at the plist files which remain after a backup restore, they do however scan for the obvious: Cydia, bitesms, themes, etc
