    Or Rather after: ""Sending initial jailbreak data. This may also take a while…" "

    Is there a way to update to ios5.1.1 without losing all of my current jailbreak tweaks and sources?

    Reboot your iPhone and try to do it again. If it doesn't work then probably the other option would it restore your iPhone, but don't forget to take a backup first.

    BINGO! This worked for me. I did have an issue though, which I think was caused by Tiny Umbrella. I went to "Restore" my phone via iTunes, but it told me I wasn't eligible for that build. Google that if it comes up. Do NOT go into DFU mode. That bricked it for me. Upon Googling it, there are some entries (browser crashed or i'd link it for you) that deal with having to Comment out an entry via your Terminal (Mac OS X). From there, I was able to restore. Then I jailbroke it. It worked.If you haven't loaded Tiny Umbrella, I'm guessing you won't have the issue I had.

    No you will lose the jailbreak if you update. You can use aptbackup to take a backup of your jailbreaks and then you can restore the tweaks after you've upgraded to iOS 5.1.1.

    I was also having problems, tried it about 10 times and then did a restore using itunes - worked first thing after that

    No sir, you will have to do all over again. you can also backup your tweaks from cydia with the backup app.

    Make sure you have a sim card that can be used to activate the phone. You won't be able to activate your phone if you're using an unlock method like gevey sim or ultrasn0w.

    Jailbreak is not working for me either. IOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4s. Running OSX Lion. I did backup my SHSH blobs with tiny umbrella if that has any relevance, not sure.

    Well, I did the untethered jailbreak on 5.1.1 before installing the racoon thing via cydia for the untether... and upgrading to 5.1.1 didn't work for cydia/jailbreak apps. I had to RESTORE to 5.1.1 for it to work properly (tethered jailbreak, that is). So if you have problems launching cysia, try to first reset your settings (wiping your device) and/or RESTORE to 5.1.1, which will halso reset all of your settings.

    Apparently cydia has not cached my shsh blob 5.1.1. Weird? I thought already sent it...
