In this article I am going to show you how to jailbreak 6.0.1 on the iPhone 4, the iPod Touch 4thGeneration, as well as the iPhone 3Gs. First, before we actually get into the Jailbreak aspect of this tutorial, now first I want to mention that of course, iOS 6.0.1 is Apple’s latest promo and released it yesterday. As of now, the iPhone Dev Team has yet to put out an updated version of Red Snow. However, what we are going to do is pointed at older version of iOS 6 IPSW2, trick into thinking that we’re on iOS 6 when in reality we are using iOS 6.0.1. So of course i will be making an updated tutorial as soon as RedSnow is updated to a version that can natively support iOS 6.0.1. Here fully guide on iPhone 5s jailbreak you can easy to implement on your iphone.
- Also this is a tethered jailbreak and that it only works on iphone 4, iphone 3Gs and the 4th Generation iPod Touch. However, what we can do after this tethered jailbreak is essentially converted to a semi-tethered or semi-untethered jailbreak. Now, I’ll explain that more towards the end of this article after we complete the tethered jailbreak with RedSnow.
- Now what you need to download first is the latest version of the RedSnow as well as your iOS 6 IPSW for your device. Now, again I did say iOS 6 because we will be using iOS 6 far more instead of iOS 6.0.1, eventhough we are on 6.0.1.
- Now of course I will have a post down below in the “More Info” with download links to both RedSnow and 6.0 for your corresponding device. I need to show you guys here that in my iPhone 4 is indeed on iOS 6.0.1 as you can see down below and for the version it does say 6.0.1 and just inside the standardSettings app > General and About.
- Now, we got that out of the way, let’s go ahead and get into this tutorial so once you have your RedSnow and IPSW downloaded, simply open up RedSnow.
- Now, if you’re on Mac, what you gonna have to do is either hold down Controlor right-click on RedSnow, you’ll get this menu here and then simply clickOpen and that will actually be able to Jailbreak your device.
- Again, that’s just what you have to do with this latest version of RedSnow. Now, what we have to do from here is go to the Extras option and then go toSelect IPSW towards the bottom and what we’re going to do is point it at our iOS 6 IPSW which I have right here on my desktop.
- Alright, now that we get a dialog selection window, we can go ahead and select our 6.0 IPSW and once it’s identified, it will say successfully identified.
- As you can see we have a new window from RedSnow here. We can click OKto that and then let’s go back and then from here we can click “JailBreak”.
- Alright now, as you can see we have the option to install Cydia, that’s what we’re going to check. That’s all we need to check and then from here we’re going to click Next and now it’s just telling us to make sure the devices are both plugged in and powered off and it’s going to tell you how to enter DFU mode once you continue.
- Now what we’re going to do is enter DFU mode. All you have to do is plug your device into your computer via USB cable and simply hold down the Home andPower button together for a total of 10 seconds.
- Once that 10 seconds is up, you can go ahead and let go of the Power buttonand continue holding the Home button for roughly 10-15 seconds.
- Now, once that time is up, it will automatically bypass that screen and RedSnow and it will continue through the Jailbreak process.
- Right now, as you can see it’s just downloading the Jailbreak data to the iPhone right now. And it’s saying that this process is done, everything else will take place on the device just leave it plugged in even though it says it’s done.
- Alright, finally it’s moved passed that stage in the scrolling text portion of the jailbreak where it said “Please wait” again just leave your device alone, it will proceed.
- Alright now, this stage actually takes the longest-moving applications, again just be sure to leave your device alone. It will continue pass this step once it’s finished. Alright now, let’s move on to installing bundles, the iPhone should reboot here shortly.
- Now we’re just waiting for it normally boot back up, which shouldn’t take long at all. So while we’re waiting for this to do its thing, let’s go ahead and close out of RedSnow and let’s reopen it.
- Again if you are on a Mac or an iOS-based computer, what you have to do isright-click or control click onto RedSnow and once you do that, you can clickOpen from there.
- Now, this step is crucial. Again, we do have to close out of RedSnow and then reopen it. And then we’ll actually be able to boot tethered. So now that our iPhone is back up here, let’s go ahead and slide to unlock.
- Now, you will notice that you don’t have anything on your device yet, that’s because, again, we have to boot tethered. Let’s go ahead and do that right now, inside of RedSnow, if we just close that up and then reopen. So I’m just going to set this iPhone down for a second and then we’re actually be going to go through the simple process of booting tethered.
- So what we need to do from here is go to Extras and then select IPSW again and you will get this selection window, we can go ahead and plain it towards our iOS 6.0 IPSW, not 6.0.1, again because we are tricking reds now because it has not been updated yet.
- So let’s go ahead and click OK to that. And from here let’s just select the top option which is the “Just Boot”. And you will actually have to do this every single time your device powers off and you want to bring it back up or you want to turn it back on with full jailbreak functionality. Again once we install this semi-untethered or the semi-tethered jailbreak after we complete this, you will be able to turn it back on, however you won’t be able to use everything on your device and we’ll get into that more towards the end of this tutorial.
- But, like I said, now that we have selected our IPSW, we’ve hit “Just Boot”, now we have to plug our device into our computer, which we’ve already done. We haven’t even unplugged it, it’s just been the same so now that it’s plugged in, we’re ready to go. We’re going to enter DFU mode again, it just gives you the same screen words, telling you to both plug in and turn off your device and it will tell you how to enter DFU mode and we can do that ahead of time, just like before, hold down Home and Power button together for a total of 10 seconds. Now that 10 seconds is up, you can go ahead and let go of thePower button and continue holding the Home button for roughly 10-15 seconds.
- The DFU mode is a black screen so you won’t notice any difference. It will just automatically bypass it inside of RedSnow if you’ve done it correctly, which in this case, of course, we have. So, it’s just going to go through the process and patch it with the limerain exploit, and then it will turn back on and then we will have Cydia. And another thing, as you can see right inside here on RedSnow it says it’s done so this is just going to take the normal time to take to actually reboot your device. So this part shouldn’t take long at all.
- Alright, there we go. Maybe it made me a little longer that it would take to normally turn on but we have our Iphone 4 up now. Let’s go ahead and slide to unlock, and scroll over and as you can see now we do have Cydia. It did take a while to actually come up there.
- So what I’m going to do now is just open up Cydia and hit Cancel to refresh our packages there and once that’s done we’re going to just scroll down and like I said, down below towards the bottom, it does say that I’m on an iPhone 4 on 6.0.1 with Cydia 1.1.8.
How to install this semi-tethered or semi-untethered jailbreak
What we need to do is go to the bottom to Manage and then Sources, and then Edit > Add and then we’re going to add this source. It’s “thebigboss.org/semitether”. Alright, once we’ve typed that in, we can go ahead and just click Add Source and we’ll verify the URL and it’ll actually update the sources.
- And alright now that it’s done updating that data and adding that source we can just go ahead and hit “Return to Cydia” and then let’s go tothebigboss.org right here for slash SemiTether and then we can go to that source and the only package in that source is “SemiTether”.
- You can go ahead and click that and click on Install or tap on Install, rather. And then go ahead and tap Confirm.
- From there it will install this semi-tethered or the semi-untethered jailbreak. Alright now, once it says Restart Springboard so let’s go ahead and do that right now.
- Alright, I’m going to slide to unlock and again, you won’t really notice anything. You do have one icon, the SemiTether right there. What we’re going to do though is actually unplug our iPhone from the computer and I’m also going to close the RedSnow here on the computer.
- I’m going to turn off the iPhone and turn it back on so that you do know that this is a semi-tethered or a semi-untethered jailbreak. Because again with just a regular tethered jailbreak, you have to actually plug your device into your computer and select Just Boot option inside of RedSnow with this method that I’m telling you guys.
- But because we did install this semi-tethered jailbreak, we can go ahead and turn it on, and it will boot back up with limited functionality.
- Safari will not work just right off the back after you do that’s semi-tethered jailbreak. So after you plug your device into your computer and re-run that Just Boot option if you want most of these applications to work. But it’s essentially just like your lifeline, if you absolutely have to reboot your device and you’re not in your computer.
