Will upgrading firmware get rid of Cydia and jailbreak?

[vice86]

I got an iPad here at work which was on 4.3.3....so I decided to jailbreak it to see how easy it was...now the boss has it back and I'm just waiting for her to ask "what's this cydia app on here that I can't get rid of" and then give me crap for f'ing with a work iPad...but whatever.

If I tell her "just upgrade to the latest firmware and it will be gone"...would that be true or do you HAVE to do a total restore.

If she asks why I jailbroke a company iPad I'll just give her some bs excuse that I wanted to test out PDF files on there easily....i hate my boss but that's a whole different story.

Any update or restore will remove Cydia and all other jailbreak related files.

You can open, create and edit .PDFs on a stock iPad. You can't save them to the iPad when they are sent to you as an email attachment (Attachment Saver) until you jailbreak, though. That might be a better reason.
