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.

You can jailbreak as it is on 4.2.1 using either Greenpois0n rc6.1 or Redsn0w 0.9.6rc18, but the latter is a far better tool, if you want to go to 4.3.3 and use jailbreakme, then you will need to have 4.3.3 shsh's, do you have those?

You will be asked to browse to (select) a copy of the relevant 4.2.1 firmware, you may already have a copy on your computer, check the FAQ for it's location for your OS, if your on OSX Lion then the 'Library' folder is now hidden. If you don't have a copy of the 4.2.1 firmware then you can get a copy from here
