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.

An untethered jailbreak is a type of jailbreak where your device does not require you to reboot with a connection to an external device capable of executing commands on the device. http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Untethered_jailbreak

Tethered means being basically "attached" to your computer in a way; you must boot your device by running code on it (via the dock connector) to make use of an exploit.

untethered means the device doesn't need to be connected to a computer when it reboots. tether needs to be connected.

Well it doesn't need to be connected, it's just that when it boots it won't be jailbroken...

is sticks to the apple boot logo until you tether boot it using a computer.

When it boots with no jailbreak it's SEMI TETHERED.
