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.

My old iPhone 3G has had the sim slot burn up. I got a different SIM from AT&T and the phone still reports No Sim. Thus, I cannot activate in iTunes post restore. Hacktivating with a jailbreak for some reason interferes with XCode. Is there a way to skip/spoof the activation in iTunes without doing a jailbreak?

You can try and use SAM (check our FAQ for details) to remove the hacktivation, not sure if you can activate afterwards using SAM also but it's worth a try, if re-activating with SAM doesn't work, then there is another way, add the repo http://cmdshft.ipwn.me/apt/ and the install Push Doctor, this should install a unique set of activation push certificates.

Run redsn0w on it, but don't check any of the options. That should hacktivate it.

I'm not sure that'll work, but it's worth a shot.
