Jackis · April 9, 2015

Hi Guys! I want to know if you got some tutorials or links, videos that would help me jailbreak my iPod Touch, I've been trying articles from other websites which is most were outdated and just won't work on my iPod, came to the point that all of the icons were gone were I tried lol, so had to restore again.

If you could direct me to that thread, post or article that would be great and thanks!

iOS 6.1.3 - 6.1.x Jailbreak - p0sixspwn

Supported iDevices

• iPod Touch 4

• iPhone 3Gs

• iPhone 4

Requirements

The iOS 6.0 Firmware of your iDevice, iTunes and the jailbreak tools redsn0w and p0sixspwn tool/package

What is p0sixspwn ?

There are two ways to jailbreak your idevice with p0sixspwn

If you’re currently using an iPhone 3GS or a 4th generation iPod touch running iOS 6.1.x, it’s highly recommended that you update to iOS 6.1.6, and benefit from Apple’s SSL fix. The good news is that you can then use p0sixspwn to enjoy the same untethered jailbreak that was available for iOS 6.1.3 through iOS 6.1.5.P0sixpwn is actually also a tweak downloadable in the cydia store from iH8sn0w, Squiffy and winocm. As you could only semi-jailbreak your iDevice meaning tethered with redsn0w, p0sixspwn actually allows you to complete the jailbreak within downloading the p0sixpwn tweak from cydia. Your device is now completely jailbroken and doesn't has to be rebooted with redsn0w again.
The second method is with the p0sixspwn tool which basically works like evasi0n. Originally released exclusively for the Mac, p0sixspwn makes jailbreaking possible for those who wish to remain on older firmware, or for those who can’t upgrade for whatever reason. P0sixspwn is now also available for Windows.

Where can I download it ?

As I mentioned before p0sixspwn is available through the cydia store on saurik's repository.
If you want to jailbreak with p0sixpwn the easy method you can download it on the official website of iH8sn0w and winocm. Please do not download it from anywhere else except you are 100% sure it's a safe hosting website to avoid malware and fake offers.

Before jailbreaking with redsn0w

Make sure you've made a backup with iTunes as shown in the guide above to avoid losing all your data if anything turns wrong after jailbreaking. It's always reccommended to backup in regular time distances. Also if you are securing your iDevice with a password remove it so there won't be any conflicts with the jailbreak.

Let's get started

Manual jailbreak installation :

1. Connect your iDevice to your PC / Mac

2. Open redsn0w (Windows: Open as administrator)

3. Click on "select IPSW"

4. Choose the iOS 6.0 firmware for your iDevice you downloaded before

5. Go back to the start page

6. Click "Jailbreak"

7. Put your iDevice in DFU mode

8. Do steps 1 - 4 again and klick on "Just boot"

9. Install the p0sixspwn package from cydia store

Automatic installation via p0sixspwn tool :

1. Connect your idevice to your PC / Mac

2. Open p0sixspwn (Windows: Open as administrator)

3. Click the jailbreak button on p0sixspwn

4. Wait for the jailbreak to be finished

5. Reboot your iDevice and you're succesfully jailbroken

I seem to be stuck in getting the "p0sixpwn " from the cydia store,I cannot find it in search tab, so I've found another articel that said to to refresh the "changes" tab, it will update just to find the "p0sixpwn", but it asks to "reboot device", once rebooted, cydia won't open anymore, it will close immediately... so I've tried the steps here "http://www.simonblog.com/2010/03/29/how-to-fix-cydia-crash-after-iphone-jailbreak/"but won't work. so there

Rook · April 10, 2015

Are you Jailbroken now? Just Cydia won't open?

Jackis · April 10, 2015

just tethered, but not yet untethered not until i get the "p0sixspwn" from cydia, yes cydia won't open

castix · April 10, 2015

If you can't open Cydia or her Tweaks it means you are tethered. To open them again you have to open redsn0w and select the Firmware. After that select the option "Just Boot". Follow the instructions to put your device in DFU mode and you're done.
