Apple’s iOS 6 has 200 new features that have swept most iPhone owners
off their feet. And it’s hard not to, in the end with Apple it’s all
about having the latest new thing. Unfortunately for iPhone 5 and iPhone
4S owners upgrading their firmware to iOS 6 means losing the perks of a
jailbroken device. However, if you have an iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod Touch
4th generation and you have upgraded to iOS 6.0.1, the good news is you
can jailbreak your device.
Redmond released the Redsn0w
jailbreak for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 4th generation iOS 6.0.1 as of
last year, but remember like many other early jailbreaks, this one is
also limited to a tethered boot and to iDevices prior to A5. If you want
to jailbreak iPhone 5 running iOS 6 don’t attempt to use this software
version. Stay current with the jailbreak news in the dedicated section
on our website.
Remember this is a tethered jailbreak which means
you will have to reboot your device into tethered mode to launch Cydia
and other jailbreak apps. Redmond recommends to connect your iPhone to
your PC and start Redsn0w when it begins to lose power, then select
Extras in the main window and click on the Just Boot function.
Step 1
Download iOS 6 (most recent version) and update the firmware on your iDevice.
Step 2
Download Redsn0w, the latest version and run the .exe file.
Step 3
Launching
the Redsn0w jailbreak tool and click Extras first, select IPSW and
manually select the original iOS 6 file and not the latest beta version
of the firmware (iOS 6.1 beta 1).
Step 4
Click Jailbreak in the main window of the Redsn0w jailbreak tool, click Next and select Cydia.
Step 5
Enter your iPhone in DFU mode. There is a tutorial on how to do that available in the tutorial section on our website.
Step 6
The
jailbreak software will do the whole work by itself. Redsn0w will use
the Limera1n exploit to jailbreak and install Cydia on pre-A5 devices.
Select “Autoboot this device when it connects in DFU mode” so that the
iPhone restarts in tethered boot mode.
