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

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

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 firmware and 6.1.3 firmware for your device from here and place it in the Pwnage folder.

Extract the RedSn0w zip file by double clicking it.


Step Two:
If you haven't already updated to iOS 6.1.3 then open iTunes from your dock.


Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Option and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.


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.

Once you have jailbroken you will need to rerun redsn0w to boot tethered.
