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 Mac.
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 Evasi0n utility into the folder. You can find download links for Evasi0n here.
Step Three Double click the Evasi0n dmg file from the Pwnage folder on your desktop to mount it.
Step Four Drag the Evasi0n application from the mounted dmg into the Pwnage folder on your desktop.
Step Five Right click (or Control+Click) the Evasi0n app icon then select Open from the contextual menu to launch the application. If prompted to confirm, click the Open button again.
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 highly 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.
Hi and thankyou for the video review!
I have version 6.1 (10B143) on my iPhone and when I try to restore to the downloaded firmware (iPhone5,1_6.1.2_10B146_Restore) then it pops up a warning box that says; The iPhone ****** could not be restored becouse of none compatible firmware.
Anyone here who can tell me what is the problem?
Thanx.
Hello,
I'm having trouble upgrading manually (i.e. Click restore while holding shift and selecting the ipsw) but it's not working.
I have an iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1
Yes but what about my I phone 4 is version 6.1.3 will this still work for me or do i need something else also--how do I save all my data before trying this--what exactly is pushed on the phone to save everything??
ok well for those of you who might experience the same pain, i've been able to deactivate SAMpref and then remove the repo. what ever the name is .. and then could see the sky.. and restore the iphone on itunes.. and recover from a lovely backup.. It may work but it didn't on my iphone although it said it would.. ok i'll take my money back, it didn't work
This program has not worked on my phone, having completed each step the phone prompts a message saying "only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone" Can anyone help me with this please... Many thanks
