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.

When I go onto Cydia it says: /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing. Now when I search or look for anything it is blank. How do I get it back and fix my phone and Cydia?

SSH into your phone or use mobileterminal to create the folder /var/lib/lists/partial and set permissions to 755. Commands to run are below -

  1. su
  2. alpine (unless you've changed passwd from default)
  3. mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
  4. chmod 755 /var/lib/apt/lists && chmod 755 /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
  5. exit

What do I do if I hadn't installed OpenSSH and I can't now because nothing is downloadable?

Download iFunbox. Connect phone via usb and open Raw File System in the left hand frame. Navigate to /var/lib/apt/lists and select the lists folder in left frame. Right-click in right frame and select New>Folder. Name it "partial".
