The only way to restore your iPhone back to factory settings while keeping the jailbreak intact is to use special software. You may be asking, “Why not just go into Settings and select Erase All Content and Settings?” That’s a valid question, but doing so on a jailbroken iPhone or iPad will result in a bootloop, for which you’ll have to do a hard restart to get back to the lock screen, and you’ll be back to where you started.
