I have a jailbroken iPhone (3Gs, iOS 4.0.1, bb 5.13.04). I want to get jailbroken & unlocked 4.3.1 , but I cannot do it in other way than restoring from custom pwned firmware, so all my saves and app data will be erased.

How can I back up all my app data and games saves to restore them after firmware upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

There is an insanely detailed step by step process on how to do this using the cydia app appbackup on http://applemonday.com/2011/04/jailbreak-data-apps-ios-appbackup/ which basically grabs all your app data and puts it in one folder for you to ssh into and get.

Marvelous! I'll try it, thanks – NR4TR Apr 20 '11 at 13:10
Is there any other way? I've installed AppBackup but it crashes right after splash screen :( – NR4TR Apr 22 '11 at 15:13
to be honest appbackup is just a method of going through the filesystem and grabbing specific files and then putting them back in their places, so let me do some more research, there are definitely other options – hobs Apr 22 '11 at 15:19

I love the google search term "better than x" pragmatixconsulting.com/iphoneApps/User_Guide.html and a guide to go with it since it is paid theiphoneguru.net/2010/11/22/… – hobs Apr 22 '11 at 15:20
thanks for that, will write about my results – NR4TR Apr 22 '11 at 15:28

PKGBackup ($7 from Cydia) will back up all your settings to Dropbox.

I'd better do it manually, thanks :) – NR4TR Apr 23 '11 at 7:01

There is a new app out there, called Datadeposit and it saves your data to your dropbox account whyle syncing it. Awesome! http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/05/datadeposit-nifty-jailbreak-app-allows-you-to-save-iphone-app-data-in-the-cloud-dropbox.html
