Yes, EXCEPT SHIFT+UPDATE or else you loose data. Also, wait until its done restoring. You can tell its done when on the lockscreen it no longer says restoring from backup below the slide to unlock text

No. That's restoring. Press and hold shift and then click update in iTunes.Like this?

It's done. But there's been a syncing problem with the music. The files are not syncing. Now i want to jailbreak it. I have seen some steps how to do it. my phone is iPhone 5s.
Just use pangu. Check out the sticky on the jail breaking sub forum for instructions.
The universal Guide to jailbreaking. Very nice post. So Latest backup is done. Now should i need to restore as new iphone ?
If you want. If you're on 9.0.2 now you can just jailbreak normally.
God Iv not seen those horrible grey boxes for a while. You would think Windows would make them a bit more appealing.Like this?
i think my jailbreak is successful. Thanks to you guys. Now any tips? Or apps/tweaks could you suggest?
Check out this post I made on another thread with my list of tweaks. Getting my iphone today and ready to jailbreak!

It works going from 9.1 to 9.0.2 this way, it does bork the Apple Health though, you can't read it nor write to it.
You can fix it with making an unencrypted backup to iTunes, which doesn't contain Health data, then restoring this backup to the phone. This clears Apple Health data storage and makes it able to write to it again.
I've just downgraded my iPad and jailbreaked. Thanks! After that, I tried this method on 5s, but it doesn't work.
"The iPhone couldn't be updated because the firmware file is not compatible."
Yes, I've already checked twice that I've downloaded the right IPSW. Any help?

Probably you downloaded the wrong version. There's 2 different versions for the 5s. The cdma (Verizon sprint) and GSM (att T-Mobile everything else) versions.
I don't live in US, so I'm quite confused. Try to download "global" now. Will reach back if I encountered an issue. Thanks for the head up by the way!
If you're not in the us you should use the global version.
