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.

Download the ipsw now before the servers melt. http://www.icj.me/ios/6.1. Then shift (option on Mac) / Restore in iTunes when you're ready.

Restore via iTunes, not update.

by Update, you mean OTA?

Both OTA and iTunes update are not recommended to qualify for a possibility of future rerestore.
