Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 On iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod Touch 4G
Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 On iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod Touch 4G - iOS 6.0.1 firmware has been released by Apple today with many improvements and fixed bugs, A4 jailbreakers (iPhone 4, 3GS iPod 4G ) who are planning to update their devices to iOS 6.0.1 should take care that only the tethered jailbreak available for A4 devices other wise the A5 jailbreakers who are planning to update to iOS 6.0.1 it’s better to stay way from the update as there is no jailbreak available till now.
Dev team also have updated Redsn0w to version 0.9.15b3 this update doesn’t add support for iOS 6.0.1 firmware it’s only to fix bugs found on the latest version, but you can still point at the already supported iOS 6 firmware and successfully jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 on A4 devices only.
Supported devices
- iPhone 4.
- iPhone 3GS.
- iPod touch 4th generation.
How To Jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 On iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G
Step 1: Put your device in DFU mode
- Hold down power button and home button both at the same time for 10 seconds
- After the 10 seconds release the power button and still pressing on the home button for another 10 seconds
Step 2: Connect your device to your computer.
Step 3: . Open RedSn0w folder after extracting it, and right click on redsn0w file and click “Run as administrator”
Step 4: Now you have to Click on Extras button
Note: Make sure that Redsn0w detects your device.
Step 5: Then Select IPSW button , and choose your iOS 6.0 firmware for your device.
Step 6: Your device should inform you that “The following build was identified”
Step 7: Then Go back to the “RedSn0w” welcome page and click Jailbreak button then Redsn0w will start processing.
Step 8: Now check on “install Cydia” as on the screen below and then click “Next” your Redsn0w will start jailbreaking.
Step 9: Once the jailbreak is complete you have to know that this jailbreak is tethered jailbreak so you have to place your device into DFU mode.
Step 10: Go back to the Redsn0w main page and click “Extra” button then click “Just boot”
Step 11: After the device reboots, you will see Cydia on the Home screen.

Cydia not showing up after all process are complete. Please help get cydia back Iphone4 6.0.1 4.12.2
I have the exact same problem. Ive gone through the process atleast 10 times following it step by step and it shows walking pineapple. But instead of saying moving applications and all the other things it used to say with other jailbrakes it just goes to reboot and cydia not installed. I have 3gs 05.16.07 factory unlocked. any help would be great.
I finally got it. I had saved all apps from app store and installous in ifunbox and since im factory unlocked i restored my phone and it worked like a charm. thank you to all who helped and big thanks to dev team. Keep up the crazy good work.
how do you do that ?
I seriously need help, cuz i’ve spent lik 6 hours over and over again JB:ing my iPhone 4 and i can’t get cydia with the “root” & “alpine” method, always “error” “Can’t connect”
PLEASE HELP ME IM SICK OF NOT GETTING IR RIGHT
That worked for me too.
Just restore to factory settings using itunes and then do the jailbreak.
Back up your apps/pictures with iFunbox.
Yes, as u all said, i did it now and it worked and cydia finally appear.
I have iPod touch 4g 6.0.1. I did everything fine until booting. I get error when trying to just booting. It says ”missing keys plist data build” Please help me

iPhone 4 8gb….”Missing keys plist” here also… On the “just boot”
hi
i,m sorry , i’m not write english very well.

..open redsnow..extras >> select ipsw >>and now get ios 6.0 for just boot ..connet device in dfu mod ..and next in just boot ..:) redsn0w no show (.missing keys.plist data for this build ) and cydia install.. tnak’s
I have been getting the ”missing keys plist data build” also
i hope that a much clearer step by step instructions might help..
greatly appreciate it
For everyone with the MISSING KEYS.PLIST ERROR
1. Exit redsn0w and turn off your phone and unplug it
2. Plug your phone back in and then enter DFU mode without opening redsn0w yet. DFU=(3 sec lock button, 10 sec home and lock button, 15 second just home button).
3. Once in DFU mode, find redsn0w on your computer, right click on it and take ownership/run as administrator!
4. Open redsn0w, go to Extras>>Select IPSW>> select the 6.0 IPSW.
5. Go back, Jailbreak! let it do its thing and install cydia and then once the jailbreak is done and phone booted on, turn off your phone.
6. Exit redsn0w, unplug your device, plug it back in and put the phone into DFU mode! Open redsn0w!
7. In redsn0w go to extras>>select IPSW (6.0).
8. Extras>>Just Boot>> This is the only fix for the missing keys.plist error!!

Hi! Is jailbreak to iPad 2 coming soon? I have the latest iOS….and waiting foward that jailbreak ….
I follow instructions above for my iphone 4 jailbreaking ios 6.0.1,all is good and when uploading kernel to reboot..my iphone keeps loading
Please wait…
Please wait…
Please wait…
Please wait…
Please wait…
Please wait…
etc…
should i wait?its already 15 minutes..
same thing happend to me, but be patient, i works after a whie, just wait
i will try..and thank you..
hello, the same thing is happening to me right now . the ‘please wait’ did it work for you ? i been sitting here like 10 minutes now and it is still saying ‘please wait’
Did it work for you?
Agree- it just suddenly worked when I did the ‘JUST BOOT’ after selecting the 6.0 IPSW. I did have ‘Autoboot this device when it connects in DFU Mode ‘ selected. btw. Weird thing though Cydia is missing now (it booted with the pineapple though!)
dont use the autoboot with this workaround, it will force the miussing key error again and you have to go back and select ipsw 6.0 everytime you boot
did it work for you? i’m having the same problem.. HELP!
Well, Heres what i did…..i tried fetching my shsh blobs with TinyUmbrella…then my shsh was different so i downloaded the right firmware(older) which matched that of my shsh and i restored the firmware and matched the shsh in Redsnow-newest version.
Then it kept relooping in recovery so i had to restore with itunes then the exploit worked….jailbreak….then just boot.
It booted up and i had cydia.
I ran a few apps on cydia and installed and when an app in cydia rebooted, it had to be “just booted” again.
After running redsnow and trying to “just boot” a 2nd time, the error—”missing plist” arose again.
I tried to reboot with redsnow again, and again, and again….finally it did reboot the right way. possible problem was the way or times i held the buttons when putting it in DFU mode. Good luck to anyone else with the same problem. Try releasing the HOME button at different times with the DFU mode.

thank you for telling me this. I have an iphone 4 and i lost my settings app so i tryed restoring in redsnow and im in a recovery loop. I am downloading 6.0.1 now. Did you have to re-activate your phone
I have Iphone 4 (factory unlocked), and have ios 6.0.1. when i try to jailbreak through redsn0w 0.9.15b3 it shows “missing keys.plist data for this build”.. what should i do?
Please help
i,m sorry , i’m not write english very well ..(my keyboards is persian )
before jailbreak and just boot ..
open redsn0w >> exras >> select ipsw >> get ios 6.0 (not 6.0.1) and back >>jailbreak in dfu mod >>>>>
before just boot : close redsn0w >> and open again redsn0w >>..go extras select ipsw (ios 6.0 for iphone 4) and back >> just boot >>connet device in dfu mod and next
wait for boot and installed cydia
go to dfu mode, open redsnow, click extras and select IPSW and then click “just boot”; should wok fine
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had been working on this all day and was ready to downgrade! Thanks!!! I am going to post this fix to howard forums later & I will give you the credit! Thanks!!
Is Cydia still there though?
Hello, I have an iphone 4 6.0.1. When jailbreaking i waited ‘Please wait…’ like 20 minutes then something more wrote and just rebooted. Then I did Just boot and I am waiting like 20 minutes now but it stuck on pineapple screen. Someone can help?
Hi, Same issue… after waiting 10 min with the ‘Please wait’, it writes some more code, restarts (without the pineapple animation) and turns on… it looks like it just can’t jailbreak it (after i’m restarting the device, everything works fine without the ‘Just Boot’ initiation)… can someone help pls???
this is what mine is doing as well!!! No animation and the whole loading the files thing just reboots then i try the just boot teathered and i get the pinapple for like 20 minutes then it reboots again but no cydia and seemingly no jailbreak!! how do we fix this! i really need my phone jailbroken for my messages to work lol!!!
Hey guys I’m having the same problem. I’ve seen the same problem posted on multiple sites, but no solution yet. I’m referring to the “please wait” for at least 5-20 minutes followed by some code and reboot but no pineapple or cydia. I also followed or tried all instructions and combinations of the following:
-use ios6 for the proper device. Mine is iphone 4 att
-run as admin and with win xp service pack 2 compatibility mode(or xp3 says another site)
-tried different usb ports and restarting the computer(shouldn’t matter because I had this Jailbroken on ios6 from this computer without a problem)
PLEASE HELP if you figured it out….
figured it out! Had to use the 3.1 firmware for ios 6.0(labeled as “Global”, not AT&T). Maybe because I had it jailbroken before it was no longer recognized as AT&T? who knows. Well that was 12 hours well spent.
it worked!!! thanks so much!!! im gong to take your reply and post it to my question farther down!!! thanks so much!!!!
Cydiaisnottheree
can´t open it, it says : ipsw not supported by this version of redsnow
When you select IPSW you need to select the 6.0 IPSW, not 6.0.1, even though your device is on 6.0.1
Can someone help me?
I bought a iphone 3GS locked Bell. I need it unlocked
The guy I bought it off just updated to 6.0 . I tried
To downgrade to 5.1.1 but had no luck because there
was no shsh blobs. Then had to revert back to 4.1 to
unlock it. Then I went to restore via iTunes. Now there
is 6.0.1 so now I can’t revert to 6.0 because I didn’t
save the shsh blobs.
Currently I am on 4.1 with baseband 6.15.00.
How can I upgrade firmware and unlock when
I have no saved 5.1.1 or 6.0 shsh blobs saved?
Could someone please help me
i have the same problem help us

Hello,
I’ve just downloaded ” iPhone4,1_6.0_10A403_Restore.ipsw ” and ” redsn0w_mac_0-1.9.15b3 ” to jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 on iPhone 4S just like in the video guide. When i select this IPSW, this message appears : “That IPSW is not supported by this version of redsn0w.” What’s the problem?
Thanks
Read it first, it is just for A4 devices.
‘Supported devices
iPhone 4.
iPhone 3GS.

I have the same problem to my Iphone 4 anda download iPhone3,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw
and ” redsn0w_mac_0-1.9.15b3 ” to jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 . When i select this IPSW, this message appears : “That IPSW is not supported by this version of redsn0w.”
download 6.0 not 6.0.1, make sure itunes restores your phone to ios 6.0.1, then use redsn0w to select the 6.0 ipsw and jailbreak
Hi, whenever I click jailbreak it keeps saying “exploit failed” is there anyway to fix this?
hi which ios you use?? ios 6 3GS?? bcoz i dont know which i will use
i’m using ipod touch 4th generation (ios 6.0.1) , but when i select the ipsw files : “That IPSW is not supported by this version of redsn0w” . using redsn0w 0.9.15b3
It`s working for me
Did not work at first attempt, may be i missed something but when repeat the step carefully then it just worked.
I’m using iPhone4 . After select the ipsw files , the message show “That IPSW is not supported by this version of redsn0w” . using redsn0w 0.9.15b3
I’ve gotten that error too. Are you using the 6.0 ipsw? Because redsn0w won’t accept the 6.0.1 even though you’re jailbreaking iOS 6.0.1 so you have to use the 6.0 firmware to jailbreak.
yes must use 6.0, but it still jailbreaks your device running 6.0.1
Same issue, iphone4 GSM 04.11.08-ICE_2_13, trying with the IOS 6.0.1 firmware (iPhone3,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw) and last version of Redsn0w.
“That IPSW is not supported by this version of redsn0w”
Cheers
6.0 ipsw you use not 6.0.1, your device will stay 6.0.1 just have to use 6.0 because thats what redsn0w is updated for
can i ask if it is a untethered jailbreak on a iphone 3gs new bootroom or a tethered one?
my phone seems to freeze after hitting the ‘just boot’ button. It just stays on the apple logo…Is there anyway to fix this?
restore and start from scratch, i know it sucks but its the best way, also make sure you follow my steps on the missing key fix very closely and that your running redsn0w as ab administrator
so if my phone is GSM should I still try to use the CDMA ipsw?
For everyone with the MISSING KEYS.PLIST ERROR
1. Exit redsn0w and turn off your phone and unplug it
2. Plug your phone back in and then enter DFU mode without opening redsn0w yet. DFU=(3 sec lock button, 10 sec home and lock button, 15 second just home button).
3. Once in DFU mode, find redsn0w on your computer, right click on it and take ownership/run as administrator!
4. Open redsn0w, go to Extras>>Select IPSW>> select the 6.0 IPSW.
5. Go back, Jailbreak! let it do its thing and install cydia and then once the jailbreak is done and phone booted on, turn off your phone.
6. Exit redsn0w, unplug your device, plug it back in and put the phone into DFU mode! Open redsn0w!
7. In redsn0w go to extras>>select IPSW (6.0).
8. Extras>>Just Boot>> This is the only fix for the missing keys.plist error!!
Just an addition to any confusion as to why the just boot wont work after a successful jailbreak and lets say you install a tweak which require you to boot like winterboard! You must always go back and select the 6.0 ipsw every time you Just Boot because it will throw that ugly missing keys.plist error at you ,if not that, it just wont successfully just boot unless selected ipsw is 6.0
Oddly, I’m doing everything that’s said re this missing plist and my JB isn’t working.
I have an iPhone 4 with 6.1. I’m using the iPhone3,1_6.0_10A403_Restore.ipsw with redsn0w 0.9.15b3
It goes through the whole jailbreaking process, I get the flood of words, then the little animation and the phone reboots…but I don’t have a Cydia icon or a pineapple!
WTH am I doing wrong? Save me Obi-wan, you’re my only hope!
I am having the exact same problem!!! i really need an answer!!!! lol
oh my god why like this i got it but when i restart my fon i cannot open it again!!!!
please help
So, is it still tethered jailbreak ? Or is it untethered jailbreak ?

In order to do the Jailbreak for IOS 6.01 you will need to download the IOS 6.0 ipsw, not the IOS 6.01.
