We just covered the guide that will jailbreak your iPhone and iPod running iOS 6.0.1. Now we will turn our attention to iOS 6.1 . Apple has started seeding iOS 6.1 to developers and if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on it, the guide below will let you jailbreak iOS 6.1 Beta 1 on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Unfortunately it is currently only for iDevices that run the A4 or lower chipset. That means iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, new iPod Touch and iPad are out ( any device with A5, A5X, A6 or A6X). Furthermore this jailbreak is tethered which means every time you reboot your device you’ll need to connect it to your PC or Mac.
Step 1- Download iOS 6.0 from the links below:
- iPhone 5 GSM
- iPhone 5 CDMA
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 4 GSM
- iPhone 4 CDMA
- iPhone 3GS
- iPad 3rd-generation (GSM, CDMA, WiFi)
- iPad 2 (GSM, CDMA, WiFi)
- iPod touch 4th-generation
- iPod touch 5th-generation
Step 2- Download iOS 6.1
Step 3- Download Redsn0w for Mac or Windows
Step 4- Open Redsn0w and click on Extras –> Select IPSW. Select the firmware you downloaded in step 1. After it has been identified by Redsn0w click the back button to go back to the main screen
Step 5- Click jailbreak and select Cydia. Follow the instructions to put your device into DFU mode. After the jailbreak is done click “Autoboot this device when it connects in DFU mode” which will put your device in tethered mode
