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.

A lot of people have been asking: Cydia doesn't open, Loader problem... Here it is: GreenPois0n RC5 was released in a hurry, as nobody wanted to continue with the tethered redsn0w. I remember I stayed up until one o'clock in Brazil when GPRC5 was released, and then @p0sixninja didn't compress it right... Then the right ver came up, and greenpois0n.com servers stopped. I got it from ih8sn0w's server. Anyway, @p0sixninja might have mischanged Loader or something, so it half-installs Cydia all the time. It was fixed on GP RC6, but if you jailbroke with RC5... Do this to correctly install Cydia:

  1. GPJBRSC method: Jailbreak with GreenPois0n, and then open redsn0w. Do everything as if you were jailbreaking and select the Install Cydia option. It will not tether or re-jailbreak. It's just a stable method to install Cydia. Just go to http://bit.ly/gQtSqd for details.
  2. Tether-Untether method: Jailbreak tethered with redsn0w 0.9.6, then, as if nothing had happened, re-jailbreak with GreenPois0n. You won't lose any JB data, and no restore is needed. Just delete Loader.app from the SpringBoard, as Cydia is already installed with redsn0w.
  3. DEB method: If you have OpenSSH, install via DEB Cydia, available for download on apt.saurik.com/. Use the latest version (cydia-1.0-3366-1).

well this is useful but you could just use rc6-1 to solve problems and re-install cydia multiple times if it fails to work.

Agree. But many people don't download from greenpois0n.com, so they don't always get the rc6.1 ver.
