Upgrading to iOS 6 from 5.1.1 on iphone 4

**jgiv24** · 10-30-2012, 11:14 AM

This may have been answered already but I did not see it posted. If I upgrade to iOS 6.0 from 5.1.1, will I have to unlock/jailbreak my phone again? I am pretty sure I have to but I couldn't remember. Also, would I have to re-flash it with the newly updated CDMA Tool software or would I not have to? Thanks in advance.

it depends on how you go about updating it,if you use dfu and wipe your device then you will need to reflash,either way you do it you will need to rejailbreak,if you dont use the wipe or dfu and just use the restore button you can re-ota if its for cricket and you will get data again,but you will need to install commcenter patch to get mms again.

It's currently with Metro PCS and I am OK with re-jailbreaking it but I didn't want to have to re-flash if I didn't have to. Would I have to use the CDMA Tool to install the commcenter patch?

no you dont have to,but it is automated from there,otherwise you must do it all manually

I updated 5.1.1 to 6 and lost 3G & cant send SMS. I know that 3G is no problem, I'll get it back by commcenter patch but SMS is serious problem. any solutions.

you dont need to patch cc to get 3g.

and i have not seen any issues with sms when upgrading to 6x

sounds like you should check your nam settings,maybe you are in limbo between 2 carriers.
