These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, or iPhone 3GS on iOS 6.0 to iOS 6.1.2 using Evasi0n for Windows.

Step One
Ensure your iPhone is on iOS 6.0 to iOS 6.1.2 then perform a backup of your iPhone using these instructions. Firmware download links can be found here if you require them for re-restore.

Step Two
Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop and download the latest version of Evasi0n utility into the folder. You can find download links for Evasi0n here.

Step Three
Extract the Evasi0n zip file to the Pwnage folder on your desktop.

Step Four
Double click the newly created evasi0n-win folder to open it.

Step Five
Right click the Evasi0n exe icon then select Run as Administrator from the contextual menu to launch the application.

Step Six
Ensure your iPhone is connected to the computer via a USB cable if you haven't already.

Step Seven
Remove any lock screen passcodes on your device then click the Jailbreak button to begin.

Step Eight
The app will retrieve information from the device to generate jailbreak data, inject stage 1 jailbreak data, reboot the device, wait for the device to be ready, inject stage 2 jailbreak data, upload Cydia, and upload the Cydia packages list.

Step Nine
You will then be asked to unlock your device and tap the new 'Jailbreak' app icon. It is imperative that you only tap the icon once. The app will open and immediately close.

Step Ten
Evasi0n will then inject the remount payload, remount the root filesystem, prepare the final jailbreak data, inject the final jailbreak data, and complete!

Step Eleven
Your iPhone will now reboot with Cydia on the SpringBoard!

For those users that are planning to Jailbreak on iOS 6.1.2 then I recommend adding this Cydia Source into Cydia after you jailbreak so you don't have to manually input all the Cydia Sources manually. This will automatically add all the best Cydia Sources and give you access to all the best Cydia Tweaks, Themes and Apps for FREE with just a push of a button. Follow the steps below. 1. Open Cydia 2. Tap Sources 3. Tap Edit 4. Tap Add 5. Type this url in the box (cydiasource,n e t) without the spaces and switch coma for a dot in the url. 6. Tap "Add Source" 7. Install the package labelled "All Sources". This will give you all the best Cydia Sources to have access to all the best Tweaks, Apps and Themes for FREE.

However, it is frustrating as I am unable to unlock it using SAM/ultrosn0w/fixer etc. Tried all the above but the phone refuses to work with a sim from another network in another country Very frustrated. All methods to unlock the phone to work on a network in India has failed as the phone was bought in US Any help on where I am going wrong or instructions you can provide will be highly appreciated thanks espee

I need to know how to downgrade from 6.1.3 to 6.1.2 so I can use this method. Does anyone know the best way to do that?

Rich030400 - October 27, 2014 at 11:51pm

you can search in youtube.com on how to do it... -_-

Travis - October 10, 2013 at 1:43am

Currently have an unjailbroken 5 running 6.0.1. Is it possible to upgrade firmware at this point? Tried downloading and installing the 6.1.2 but got an error. Also downloaded the 6.0.1 and got the same error. Can I just run the Evasi0n jailbreak per instructions above without changing the firmware or do I need to load the one from the links on iClarified? Thanks.

I wish I could jailbreak my phone but I just don't understand all these videos showing how I don't understand what there talking about and for me I just need a more simpler way of doing it and is there a way to jailbreak it using just your phone or do u have to do it on the computer because I'm having Internet problems at my house and some times I have to go all the way in to town for Internet and I don't have a lab top

Jose Javier Flores - September 7, 2013 at 9:10pm

There isn't a simpler way to this. You should be glad you don't need to put your iPhone in DFU Mode and then jailbreak. This is a one click jailbreak. Easy as that.

For every AT&T user that wants to unlock their phone, you can do it with attiphoneunlocking, google it, it's the site I have been using for several times, they never disappoint me

tonis - April 6, 2013 at 3:58am

halim2731 - May 2, 2013 at 6:33am

iOs 6.1.3 is only tethered Jailbreak for iphones 3gs, means you have to Justboot your device everytime you power off your device, as you problem it might your BB is on 6.15 and you have to downgrade your iphone BB to 5.13 in order to make it work.

Jerry - April 3, 2013 at 1:43pm

Does this JB still work? I am 5.0.1 and I now want to JB. Did the new OS render this one non-op? I have not yet done any uodates since 5.0.1.

ejha - April 18, 2013 at 8:46pm

This JB only works on iOS 6

I had to rename the version I used to restore my phone in order to get I tunes to recognize it as restore back up I renamed it the same as the itunes back up'. Itunes recognized the file and restored it to the later version. Unfortunately I did not realize Evasion does not recognize version 6.1.3. So I am stuck with this until evasion is updated to handle it. However my phone is still unlocked and I was able to update some of my apps which require 6.1.2 and above.I would note also I had to use Internet explorer to download Evasion, some other internet navigators will download but the files will be corrupted. By the way thanks for all the info Iclarified is a great source.

sayury perez - April 24, 2013 at 4:00am

rick, do you mind telling me which Evasi0n download you used to jailbrake your iPhone iOS 6.1.3? my iPhone iOS version is the same as yours 6.1.3 and if i'm not wrong the latest download evasion for iOS 6.1.3 should be Evasi0n 1.5.3 (Windows). Did you used this same Evasi0n version? Please let me know and thank you for your input.

Rick - April 24, 2013 at 11:42pm

sayury perez Thanks for the reply. I used the windows 1.5.3 EvasiOn. It will not recognize the 6.1.3.
