Which method of update should I use?

[clear pollen]

iPhone 12 Mini on iOS 14.2 with Taurine. Looking to update to iOS 16. I have blobs for 16.1.1. Should I use my blobs or should I use delayOTA to go to 16.1.2? Looking for the most risk free method. Thanks

delayOTA worked perfectly for me

restore rootfs, take a backup

then you can do either

in the event you fuck up with blobs you can restore to 15.6rc1, restore the backup, then delayota to 16.1.3

Any form of delayOTA update is risk-free. You can keep your data, but apps might see junk jailbreak files and "detect" a jailbreak that isn't there anymore. FutureRestore doesn't really work with iOS 16 yet, so the blobs probably won't come in handy for now. You can delayOTA to any release version between iOS 16.0.3 and 16.1.2

^ and also make sure you restore rootfs THEN make backup, the order is important

yeah jailbroken backups are broken sometimes

Ok, I'll look into it. Thanks guys
