My iPhone 5's iOS version is 6.1. I jailbroke it yesterday. Now, I wanna update to the latest jailbroken version, which is 6.1.2. How can I do that without losing my jailbreak?

Thanks a lot!

You cannot update an iPhone 5 to any firmware but the one being signed by Apple. Even if you have your SHSH blobs.

So, I should just wait for 6.1.4 to be jailbroken and then backup my jailbreak, update to 6.1.4, and restore everything?
 
It won't be jailbroken because it would be a waste of an exploit. The next version of iOS that will jailbroken is likely going to be 7.0 or something after 7.0.

I see. They don't wanna let Apple know that they've found another exploit just so people can upgrade from 6.1.2 to 6.1.4.

So, how do people backup and restore from older jailbroken iOS to the latest jailbroken iOS?

Does the process go like:

* Backup Cydia stuff
* Update
* Jailbreak the update
* Restore Cydia stuff

?

Thanks!

I'd say the reason to be on 6.1.2 instead of 6.1 is because of the fix for the exchange battery drain bug, not for siri improvements
