How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 4 Using RedSn0w (Windows) [6.1.3]

These are instructions on how to perform a tethered jailbreak of your iPhone 4 on iOS 6.1.3 using RedSn0w for Windows.

A tethered jailbreak means you will need to connect your device to the computer each time you reboot. If you are on iOS 6.0 through iOS 6.1.2, please do not update. Rather use the iClarified Jailbreak Wizard to find instructions on performing an untethered jailbreak with Evasi0n.

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage


Download the latest version of RedSn0w from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the 6.0 and 6.1.3 firmware from here and place it in the Pwnage folder.

Extract the RedSn0w zip file to the Pwnage folder.


Step Two:
If you haven't already updated to iOS 6.1.3 then launch iTunes and perform a backup of your device.


Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left then hold down Shift and click the Restore button.


Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 6.1.3 firmware ipsw. Click the Choose button to continue.


iTunes will now update your iPhone to the new firmware.
