I will miss quick reply and quick compose but not enough to not upgrade to iOS 7

If you want to impress girls you should use putty. And if you want to transfer files while also impressing girls Cygwin is the clear choice.

Your baseband will probably be updated yes but you can get a real unlock on eBay for $5.

Please tell us how then. I would like to know.

You can jailbreak iPhone 4 on any version your heart desires.

Ugh I have 5gb of other I want to clear out. I've run PhoneClean and jail broken iCleanerPro and they don't touch that 5gb.

I want to upgrade to 7 but feel like I can wipe out the "other" easier manually over ssh while still jailbroken. Any ideas what else I can check? Aside for 'du -sh'ing random directories?

Yes. I've also been jailbroken since my 3G and I only miss BiteSMS and FakeLocation. Texting from anywhere is nice, and being able to watch in market MLB games with At Bat is also nice, but iOS 7 is nicer.

Seems a stupid question, but since nobody's specifically mentioned anything : is the Evasi0n Jailbreak untethered?

Yep. It also probably sends your credit cards and passwords to China.

Yeah I've never felt so lukewarm about a jailbreak. All I really care about any more is the tethering and I use that so infrequently I still haven't bothered to jb my 5S.

Probably won't bother at all with my iPad.

I just want biteSMS but I honestly don't even think it's worth all the hassle. With the few dot released for 7 it's been so nice to just hit update and not have to worry about anything.

I tried using an external hard drive. I couldn't get iTunes to restore from it and I didn't have enough I could transfer from the laptop to free up enough space. If there is a trick to making iTunes restore from an external HDD, that would be fantastic, but I didn't have luck finding one.

You can create symlinks to the external hdd.

7.1 is now jailbroken on 4S. Who knows if it'll ever see a public release or anything.

MyWi was great for me because it allows WiFi sharing--so let's say you have to pay 2.99 for a connection to a public network, you just do it on the phone and then share that connection with any number of your other devices.

PDANet does this as well.

DFU. Right now when I turn it on it just gives me a "Plug this into iTunes" screen. When I plug into iTunes it tries to restore and gives me that. Tried multiple computers and all the Googling I could muster. Unless one of you has a miracle cure, I'm headed to Verizon in the morning.

That smells like recovery mode and not DFU. For DFU I think you need to hold home and lock for 7 seconds then remove lock until the pc recognizes the phone. The screen will be all black.
