All,

I have a version 1.1.1 which I think at one point was originally 1.0.2.
I don't want to be left behind with the FW versions.

The installer App is telling me I should upgrade but I am nervous as it all seems a bit of a fine art.

Should I upgrade the installer + community sources + BSD subsystem?
Does the version of installer map to the version of iphone?
Can I go from 3.08b to version 3?

Any help appreciated, I don't really understand how the installer app and CS + BSD affect the phone?

Current settings

Installer 3.0b8
BSD 1.5
Community sources 3.0

Finally would it just be easier to download the 1.1.4 binary and then unlock my phone again?

"Finally would it just be easier to download the 1.1.4 binary and then unlock my phone again?"

Yes, by all means!
But, to be on the safe side you do not want to update to 1.1.4 but restore.
It will wipe all your content from the phone but the phone itself will be much more stable.
Now, if you're on a Mac, after "restoring" (sic!) to 1.1.4. Just use "ZiPhoneOSX.app" and enjoy your "new" iPhone.
As the PC goes there are many threads here to help you.

Side note... make sure that after you "restore" to 1.1.4 to quit iTunes AND iTunes helper before running ZiPhone!!!

After "restoring" to 1.1.4 do NOT (my personal experience) install BSD. Instead, install "Cydia" & "Fake BSD" from this repo: apptapp.saurik.com/alpha.xml

It fixes lots of BSD's flaws.

P.S. Although Cydia works as an installer, for installing apps I still mainly use "Installer" ;-)

cool, thanks

Are there any guides for the above, or is it too early? Should I sit it out for a while?
