- After the 10 seconds release the power button and still pressing on the home button for another 10 seconds
Step 4: Launch Redsn0w by clicking on it and choose (Run as Admin from Windows)
Step 5: Select “Extras” followed by “Select IPSW“, and your iOS 6 firmware and click “OK”
Step 6: Click “Back“, and then select “Jailbreak“, Now redsn0w will inform you by a message box saying “preparing jailbreak data” followed by a page with several options. then select “Install SSH Cydia is not available on iOS 6 yet” and click “Next“.
Step 7: Your iPhone will now proceed through the jailbreak process. You will receive the below message.
Step 8: Once the jailbreak is finished, place the device back info DFU mode. (if you don’t know check our tutorial posted here)

Step 9: Click “Back”, and choose “Just boot” button. Once this finished close RedSn0w.
Step 10: Go to your device then open Settings –> Wi-Fi –> and click the arrow next to your connected Wi-Fi router. Find your IP address for your Wi-Fi connection. In my example, my IP is 10.0.1.27.
Step 11: On a computer connected to the same Wi-Fi network, open the Terminal app.
Step 12: In terminal type: ssh [email protected] (be sure to change the IP address to match your iOS device’s IP)
Step 13: After a few seconds, it should connect, and prompt you for your iOS device’s password. The password is alpine
Step 14: Once connected, paste the following into the terminal:
wget -q -O /tmp/cyinstall.sh http://downloads.kr1sis.net/cyinstall.sh && chmod 755 /tmp/cyinstall.sh && /tmp/cyinstall.sh
Step 15: After a minute or so your device should reboot, and Cydia will be installed. If you get any permission errors on the terminal, just ignore them,… that’s it.

do you specifically need a mac computer when you get to the terminal app step? I jailbroke it successfully on windows and can’t install Cydia
same like me… any tutorial using windows or cmd here??
You can use apps like putty. Do the same thing as you would do in terminal but do it in putty
so, i downloaded putty and i dont know if im doing something wrong or?? when i type in my ip address and press open on putty it comes up saying “connection error:connection refused”
start putty in administrator mode ( right click )
and than write the ip address correct
you can use ifunbox instead
.its very easy
its says ntwrork eror connection denied
any other inputs guys? I’m also getting the same thing, Network Error, permission denied. I dont have a mac. I’m wondering if SDK works…
i downloaded the ifunbox and i’m at the terminal thing and when i enter “alpine” it says access denied and idk what to do ! HELP! HELP!
Can we install Siri after jailbreaking ios 6 iPhone 4 GSM

When can we expect a jailbreak for IOS 6 on iPhone 4S?
Yes, I know y’all are working hard, I am just curious cause me being an idiot and not paying attention to details, I updated and tried to jailbreak yet didn’t notice this was only for A4 devices. I tried downgrading and that didn’t work, so I have royally fucked myself…
Anyways, just curious
I tried it on my New BR 3GS everything worked perfectly but still waiting for the activation. PLEASE HELP…..
do you have install cydia ?
Very nice tutorial.
I did on my iPhone 4 and everything was a success.
I recommend to all.
Thank you.

If you can’t figure out how to do this you shouldn’t be jailbreaking your phone. Learn from trial and error. How do you think other people learn this sh*t?
after Step 15 (last step), I still don’t see Cydia on my device. I’ve gotten the successful / welcome note from Cydia after install (within SSH Terminal) please help.
If you have trouble logging in to “ssh root” for windows, and you are using putty, instead of typing “ssh root” just type “root” as login and the password. Really troublesome and unnecessary stump for those got all the way up from jailbreaking to this issue. After you get root, paste the following above and press enter. Enojy your jailbreak.
I got past root but when i put in the password alpine it says access denied
I am do successfully, but when restart If you applications Jailbreak does not work
It’s a teathered jailbreak. You have to boot it with redsn0w.
After I update the ios for iphone 4, did i need to download the new ipsw however i have the ipsw? because when i use it in redsnow, it show “That IPSW is not supported by this version of redsnow”. how to solve it??
Cydia open and crashes immediately, no chance of it even installing the filesystem, please I need help
You probably just need to reboot your iPhone again, but make sure you boot it tethered
When I give password it shows access denied . Tell me what I gotta do now
works perfectly, thanks
Sorry I this is a stupid question, but it doesn’t list the iPhone 4S under the supported devices. Does it not work for the 4s or is it just classified under the iPhone 4?
There’s still no succesful JB for 4S yet.
You have to wait a little longer.
I followed all the steps. I’m having trouble with the last part which seems pretty straight forward my Mac is using the same WIFI connection as my iPhone. However, it shows .100 on my phone IP and .103 on my MAC ID. I enter in .100 and the command for sshroot etc. and it doesn’t work. If I enter in .103 it prompts me for a password but won’t let me actually enter it. I’m excited about this particular Jailbreak because it will ensure that I have some of the things I’ve had on other phones by on boarding IOS6 etc. Please help me out. Thanks, Jay
I have an iPhone 4. and I’m using Mac.
If you use putty in windows :
1. Login as : root
2. password : alpine
try this !!

When can we expect jailbreak for iOS 6 on New iPad? I can’t waiting more
this jailbreak works for ipad 3
QUICK NOTE: If you where stuck on Activation Screen, after you do “JUST BOOT” from redsn0w do this before you install Cydia. SSH to your account, go to /Applications and rename/delete Setup.app with rm -rf Setup.app command thats it.
can you explain how to do this?
ahhhhh your doing windows, grumble, nyone know of a mac fix to this problem?
I have tried this many times. Everything works exactly as suggested but when I try to connect with WinSCP I get “Network Error: Connection Refused”..
This is very frustrating and annoying as everything seems to work except the SSH. I am thinking its either a setting on my router even though I have allowed port 22 for my iPhone or SSH is just not installing on my iPhone when I jailbreak.
I have also tried re-jailbreaking it several times as well as tether booting it several times.
I have a iPhone 4 – 8GB From Verizon.
thats the phone i have too and im getting the same error
and again here
as an add on i also done a full factory reset of all data and tried several times without avail
If I do all this am I going to be able to install ultrasn0w in order to unlock my iPhone 3GS and get signal as I had to do so when I jailbroke into ios 5.1.1?
Thanks
And will I be able to hacktivate it?
thanks
when will release jailbreak iOS 6 for iPad 3?
when i try to do the tethered reboot i do not see a pineapple, and putty is giving me a connection failed error every time i try to ssh
Hi all, I have an error saying the latest ios6 10A403 is not supported by this version of redsn0w. Any help on this?
thanks!
even though i do reboot and just boot after installing cydia….still cydia keeps crashing…..please help me
In the jailbreak process and after I ran just boot the second time before installing cydia and the pineapple icon came up originally but then went away and now my phone isnt rebooting like it said? Any ideas? Can I put it in dfu mode again and just try again without messing anything up?
WHY WON’T MY IPOD TOUCH 4G BOOT TETHERED????
Just watched this and appreciate you taking the time. I’m debating getting an iPhone. I want to use it as my only source of wifi Internet connection for my home. I’m not very techie but am trying to learn and I’m sure I can do it but want to make sure before I get the new iPhone. I currently don’t even have a smartphone so I’m pretty unsure of my abilities. Posts like yours are a big help to dummies like me. Thanks again for your time and knowledge, it’s much appreciated.
cydia crash !!!!!!!
I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4 and I used the “iOS 6 iPhone 4 (Global)” to install the Jailbreak and WinSCP for the terminal to install Cydia.
Worked like a charm, thanks Absinthe & Redsn0w!! (:
when trying to install cydia putty wont let me enter the password. tera term says the password is invalid and if i just close the password entry to ignore it it then closes me out. and hyper terminal wont let me enter the password either. what do i do???
nvm! used ifunbox fia usb and it worked
mine says password denied
try using ifunbox it worked for me when nothing else worked with the password http://www.i-funbox.com/
