Hello everyone and welcome to Axle Tech, the best place to get to know your device better ! So, on today post, i'll be showing your guys how to SUCCESSFULLY jailbreak your iDevice and if you're still locked to a carrier i'll show you how to set up everything to have a fully untether jailbroken device. Beware out there about fake information on jailbreaking that could leave your phone being brick.
This tutorial will also show you how to upgrade or downgrade your phone even though Apple has stop signing the iOS version.
Things you'll need :
- TinyUmbrella
-iFaith (latest)
-RedSnow (latest) for newest devices like iphone 4s or iphone 5 please consider using Evasi0n tool
- iOS ipsw your going to upgrade to. (in this tutorial i'll be using the 6.1.2 ipsw from apple servers)
- iTunes latest version (you should update your iTunes if you haven't )
- Remove the SIM card
1- First thing you'll need and is crucial is the SHSH blobs for your respected device, if you're already on a jailbroken device, you can open cydia, let it load and you'll see your SHSH on the top of cydia like this.
okay, so for this device, the SHSH are the following :
ios 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.3.5, 5.0.1, 5.1.1,6.1,6.1.2
this shows the iOS version i can upgrade to or downgrade to.
To get your SHSH blobs you'll need tools like TinyUmbrella or iFaith.
Google TinyUmbrella or iFaith and download the latest version to retreive your SHSH blobs to your Desktop.
For this tutorial we are going to use different kind of jailbreaking tools.
2- Open iFaith after downloading your SHSH blobs. This step is very important if you want to be able to restore your device. I have a 3gs running iOS 4.3.3 and I have upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 as stated on my SHSH blobs (pic 1).
Click on "Build"signed" IPSW w/Blobs"
3- Then it will ask you for the SHSH blobs and make sure you choose the correct blobs for the ipsw file (Since i'm upgrading my 3gs to 6.1.2 ipsw i have to choose the 6.1.2 blobs).
after it will ask you for the ipsw, you'll have to go to the directory of your ipsw and open it and click on "let's go" and let iFaith create your "signed" ipsw for your restore.
-------------> if you try to restore to a stock ipsw it will return you error 3194 in Windows and "this device is not elligible for the requested build" in Mac.
Make sure you sign your ipsw with iFaith in order to restore properlly.
4- after the "signed" ipsw is finished. go Back to iFaith and click on "Use DFU Pwner (iREB)" button to have your device in pawned DFU mode to prevent iTunes errors. Please follow the instructions in iFaith to put your device in restore state and connecto it to your Pc or Mac,
then iTunes will pop up saying your device is in restore mode and you'll have to restore it.
5- Very tricky, in Windows hold SHIFT and click on restore, in Mac hold "option" and click on restore then locate your "signed" ipsw that you've create with iFaith and let it do its thing.
6- So you have restore your phone to stock iOS, mine is on iOS 6.1.2 and you will be on the Activation Screen if you have the original SIM the phone is locked to then GOOD activate it if you don't, it doesn't matter i'll show you how to hacktivate it. If you have experienced errors during restore please leave a comment or e-mail and i will assist you :)
in this step you are going to use Redsnow, the latest version to jailbreak the device.
click on "Extras" then on "select ipsw" then locate the ipsw file. My 3gs has been restored to 6.1.2 so i'll open the 6.1.2 ipsw in Redsnow.
Go back and now click on Jailbreak
(Very Important for Unlockers) if you need to unlock your device you'll have to be on a exploitable basebands like 6.15.00 in order to unlock. Next post i'll show how to flash your baseband.
on the next menu select "install Cydia" and if you rely on Unlocking also select "install ipad baseband" then click next.
Let Redsnow upload the jailbreak data to your phone and please don't panic your device will be displaying scary things don't turn it off just let it finish.
7- After the jailbreak process finished, your phone will boot up and "bypass" the activation with original SIM carrier just click next and next and at last click on "start using iPhone"
find Cydia and open it, and search for UltraSnow (must be on a exploitable baseband) and install it for unlocking the device then reboot and insert the SIM card you want to use it with and give it at least 60 seconds to search and you will have signal :) .
If you have a tether Jailbreak you'll need to go back to cydia and search and install (Evasi0n 6.0-6.1.2 untether) in order to reboot your device without needing tools like redsnow to boot everytime your phone is powered off.
if you have followed all the steps correctly then you'll be using a Unlock and jailbroken device on 6.1.2
Enjoy and comment !
