Untethered/Tethered Jailbreak on iOS 6.0.1 Device | Simple Guide

Along with the release of the well-waited iOS 6.0.1, people all over the world hurried to upgrade. This brand new iOS version was supposed to bring numerous changes compared to the old versions. The good news is the fact that it was quickly jailbreakable and people were able to enjoy more of this amazing operating system.

Take into consideration the fact that iOS 6.0.1 jailbreak is performed using Redsnow and it will have the same specifications as the old ones. However, if you want to jailbreak your device, you need to know that jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 untethered is possible but only on older boot devices such as iPhone 3GS. Even if you own an A4-based device, all you can do is to start tethered jailbreak on it.

Short guide to start tethered/untethred jailbreak iOS 6.0.1 on your device:

 

1. First of all, you need to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 on your device and then to download and install Redsnow.

2. Launch Redsnow on your desktop computer.

3. Click on the Extras option. At this point, you will be able to see the IPSW option.

4. Click on IPSW and choose the firmware you are running on your device; in this case, the iOS 6.0.1.

5. For the next step, you need to click back and choose Jailbreak. This will start the jailbreak process on your device. Before the jailbreak starts, you need to put your device in the DFU mode.

6. Once Redsnow finishes its job, you need to go back, to click on the Extras button, chose the IPSW to select your current firmware and then go back. At this point, you will be able to see the Just Boot option. Put your device in the DFU mode once again and you will boot in a tethered way.

 

You need to redo the sixth step each time you turn off your device or when it runs out of battery. This happens in the case of a tethered jailbreak. No release date was announced for the untethered jailbreak so far, but all we have to do is to wait until it will be available on the market. Meanwhile, the new iOS 6.1 beta is already on the market, and users can easily upgrade to it. However, it is only for developer purposes and it is tethered jailbreak eligible. For iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak, I am sure that we will have to wait a little too much.

Basic Knowledge About Cydia

Since there are almost ten million Apple devices sold all over the world, I am pretty sure that Cydia has become quite a familiar topic. When people wanted to have more freedom and accessibility within their iDevices, they started to jailbreak them. This process holds more than 90% of all Apple owners. This percent seems pretty high especially when jailbreaking is banned by Apple. However, people still choose to jailbreak in order to have Cydia. For those of you who still do not know, I want to show you Cydia in some simple words.

To put things simple, Cydia is the place where you go to buy or download great Cydia apps. Cydia is a third-party store that hosts thousands of great apps and tweaks. Before you start Cydia download, you need to know some things related to this wide field of possibilities. For the beginning, you need to register into the system as being a user. Sometimes, with the first Cydia use, you may be required to upgrade the current packages. This process may take several minutes and then Cydia will automatically shut down. Launch the app again and start browsing. In the first part, you will see several tabs with options. The first tab, the Home tab, shows important Cydia tweaks, apps, news and helpful tips. The second tab, called the Sections tab, contains useful categories. In this way, when you do not know exactly what you are looking for, you can look down into a specific category of Cydia apps. Next, there is the Changes tab, which holds place for latest news, improvements, updates and many other important details. The Manage tab is a little bit more complicated. At its turn, this tab contains three other subsections: Packages, Sources and Storage. All of them deal with various Cydia sources, your currently installed apps, updates to your installed Cydia tweaks and in the last part, a clear view over the memory space available. The last but not the least, is the Search tab. This tab is probably the most used one because it offers the possibility to perform a quick search for the app you want.

Now, when things about Cydia download are a little bit clearer, you should launch Cydia and start exploring it.

Download Cydia because it is worth!

We live in a world where smart phones are the best so there are more and more people who choose to use an iPhone instead of any other kind of phones. The truth is that this is the phone with the apps and with a great design so, instead of paying less money for a medium quality, people choose to spend more money for something better. Once they own an iPhone and learn how to use all the apps, people want more. This is the reason why having Cydia apps becomes a must and they choose to jailbreak their phone. People choose to download Cydia because, thanks to this, there are available more apps than the Apple Store offers. The only problem is that there are people who have no idea how to download this app because this is not the easiest thing to do but, after checking out a couple of tutorials, everybody is able to do it. So the first thing somebody who wants it needs to do is to search the information online. As I said, there is a variety of tutorials and articles about this subject that can help people understand what this involves.

Before installing Cydia, you should jailbreak you iPhone or other iDevice you are using. The method you prefer depends on you and on the device you want to jailbreak and on what version of iOS you have installed so, you can choose between: Redsn0w, Sn0wbreeze, Absinthe, SeasOnpass, Blackra1n, Greenpois0n or JailbreakMe. The reason why you need to jailbreak your iDevice is that the Apple store doesn’t approve with this installer and with a big number of the apps it has available. You don’t need to worry because it is not illegal but once you decide to use Cydia you should stop thinking about upgrading your iOS to the latest version from Apple. The reason why you shouldn’t do this is because the jailbreak will disappear and it will prohibit you from being able to install Cydia.

Once you did this, all you have to think about is downloading the best apps that Cydia offers you. There is a ton of apps for you but not all of them are easy or exciting. This is why, in order to know what you want and need you can check the reviews available online. Also, I advise you to check the new features in Cydia because it keeps getting better on every release and update.

As a conclusion, I can only advise you to improve your iDevice by downloading Cydia as soon as possible because although it seems a little bit hard it is worth. Good luck and enjoy the variety of apps it has offer!
