Help with jailbreaking and Cydia for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches.


How to jailbreak iOS 6.0-6.1.2 untethered on all iOS devices (and 6.1.3 tethered on older iOS devices).
Apple has released iOS 6.1.3 and 6.1.4; do not upgrade/restore (if you want to keep your jailbreak). You cannot downgrade/upgrade/restore to 6.1.2 using SHSH blobs on newer devices; older devices that can use SHSH blobs are iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 4th gen. Learn more.

After I jailbroke my iPod 4th generation with redsn0w, it successfully downloaded Cydia. But when I press it, the screen flashes and goes right back to the home screen. I even tried jailbreaking again, but it just did the same thing! I have iOS 5.1, and I used a tethered jailbreak.

you have to boot tethered. Redsn0w>extras>just boot. Why stay on 5.1 when 5.1.1 is untethered??
