What you will need:
You will need the IPSW for your iDevice, you can do this by choosing your iDevice from below and starting the download.
Redsn0w which can be downloaded from HERE for Windows and HERE for MAC.
Step 1.
Extract the contents of the redsn0w rar file to your desktop (since this is the most convenient) and run redsn0w.exe, now choose “Extras” and navigate to the place where your devices IPSW is downloaded, if you don’t know where your download is saved you can find it using your download manager and choosing “Open Containing Folder” or a similar option. Once the IPSW has been detected press “Jailbreak” and continue on to Step 2.
Step 2.
Now connect your device and put it in DFU mode before proceeding to DFU your device simply connect your device to the PC, hold down the home and the power button together for 10 seconds, after the 10th second remove your finger from the power button and keep pressing the home button until you see a bubble prompt in Windows showing you the DFU device. Now press Next in redsn0w
Step 3.
Over here you have to make sure “Install Cydia is ticked and press Next again and voila your device is now Jailbroken. Your iDevice will now restart a couple or so times and then you will be taken back to your homescreen upon which you will be welcomed back with a new iOS version.
If you prefer keeping your device on a semi tethered jailbreak this is where the guide ends for you but if you want the semi-tethered jailbreak simply see how to do so below:
Semi-Tethered jailbreak

2 . Choose add and type the following without the quotation marks ( “ “ ) “thebigboss.org/semitether” since http:// prefix is already added you don’t need to enter that.
3 . now Cydia will download and install the new source and on the bottom center will give you the option of “Return to Cydia” tap on it.
4 . You are now back at the main screen of Cydia now go to Search and type “SemiTether and press the top result.
5 . Now simply download and install this package and your iDevice will do a reboot and you now have a semi-tethered device.

2 . You can use all pre-installed apps except some important ones such as Safari and Mail.
3 . Phone will reboot to your home screen.
4 . You can’t use Cydia or any other Jailbreak app until you do a tethered boot from redsn0w.
