Jailbreak iOS 6 on iPhone and iPod touch using Redsn0w

By
As usual, whenever Apple releases a new software update, iOS users start to ask for jailbreak. iOS 6 untethered jailbreak won’t be out before months, but tethered jailbreak for A4-based devices can be done using the current redsn0w version. Just follow the step-by-step guide below to get your iOS device tethered jailbroken.

Devices supported

Notes

  • This is a tethered jailbreak which means you’ll need to connect your device and make a tethered boot every-time your device reboots.
  • Unlockers shouldn’t use this jailbreak

Jailbreak iOS 6

STEP 1: Download iOS 6 firmware IPSW for your device.
STEP 2: Download Redsn0w 0.9.13dev4 for Mac OS X or Windows.
STEP 3: Now extract the files and execute Redsn0w file. Select the Extras option from the main menu of the Redsn0w and point it to the downloaded IPSW file.
STEP 4: Finally get back to the main screen and select the Jailbreak option then follow the on-screen instructions to enter DFU mode and get your jailbreak ready.

Boot-tethered jailbreak iOS 6

 

As we told you, this is a tethered jailbreak for A4-based devices; so you’ll need to make a tethered boot to be able to open your device. This can be done by opening Redsn0w and clicking on Extras then on Just Boot and follow the on-screen instructions.

Install Cydia on iOS 6

Cydia currently doesn’t support iOS 6; so your jailbreak won’t install Cydia, it will only give you the ability to SSH your device. Using SSH method, you can install Cydia on your jailbroken iOS 6 device.
Open Terminal in OS X or any SSH program on Windows and type:
ssh root@<IP address of your device goes here>
It will ask you for the admin password now, write down alpine then type:
wget -q -O /tmp/cyinstall.sh http://downloads.kr1sis.net/cyinstall.sh && chmod 755 /tmp/cyinstall.sh && /tmp/cyinstall.sh
And.. congratulations! Your device will now reboot and you’ll get Cydia right on your home screen!
