HELP with upgrading jailbroken ios5 to ios6/7

[Jacqueline]

So a few weeks ago I tried to restore and upgrade my iPhone4 (currently ios5.1) with just my phone (because iTunes wouldn't allow me unless I upgraded to the latest iTunes and I HATE the new iTunes, plus it doesn't even detect my iphone) and I pretty much fked up. I REALLY need the ios6 upgrade because a lot of useful apps I need require ios6+.

Through lots of hours and frustration I managed to get out of recovery mode and after a restart iTunes finally detected my iphone again (before the restart, it didn't even detect. But now I'm scared to redo the procedure because I don't want to mess up again. I often get iTunes errors and all that lame stuff.

Can someone knowledgeable with jailbreak and iphones guide me through the process step-by-step, preferably over skype? I have some knowledge, I just am not 100% sure and don't want to screw things up. My phone is very precious to me ;_; I have stuff like redsnow and the ipsw installed on my computer.

What I want to do:
- KEEP the jailbreak, untethered (or re-jailbreak after ios6 upgrade) and successfully upgrade to a jailbroken ios6 (or 7, if that's 100% working, I really like the new look).

Thanks :3 I'll +rep if you can help me.

First you need to update your iOS version using iTunes.

Second, you need to re-jailbreak after updating your phone. That's just how it works. :P

I shift-click or whatever and press restore and select the 6.0 ipsw right?
When I tried that, it pops a window telling me to upgrade my version of iTunes. Do I really have to do that :(?

I believe they make it that way for later versions of iOS... and the list continues why not to go Apple...

If I go to Apple, they'll tell me to gtfo because it's a jailbroken phone. They don't help people who jailbreak their phones.

Teheh it looked like it said jailbait upon first glance.
Good luck with your phone, no idea how to help but I hope it gets worked out c:
