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 Windows.

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 latest version of Evasi0n utility into the folder. You can find download links for Evasi0n here.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 5, 4S, 4, 3GS Using Evasi0n (Windows) [6.1.2]

Step Three
Extract the Evasi0n zip file to the Pwnage folder on your desktop.

Step Four
Double click the newly created evasi0n-win folder to open it.

Step Five
Right click the Evasi0n exe icon then select Run as Administrator from the contextual menu to launch the application.

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 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.

I have iphone4 ios6.0.1 I have successfully installed cydia. However, it is frustrating as I am unable to unlock it using SAM/ultrosn0w/fixer etc. Tried all the above but the phone refuses to work with a sim from another network in another country Very frustrated. All methods to unlock the phone to work on a network in India has failed as the phone was bought in US Any help on where I am going wrong or instructions you can provide will be highly appreciated thanks espee

I need to know how to downgrade from 6.1.3 to 6.1.2 so I can use this method. Does anyone know the best way to do that?

Rich030400 - October 27, 2014 at 11:51pm

you can search in youtube.com on how to do it... -_-

Currently have an unjailbroken 5 running 6.0.1. Is it possible to upgrade firmware at this point? Tried downloading and installing the 6.1.2 but got an error. Also downloaded the 6.0.1 and got the same error. Can I just run the Evasi0n jailbreak per instructions above without changing the firmware or do I need to load the one from the links on iClarified? Thanks.

I wish I could jailbreak my phone but I just don't understand all these videos showing how I don't understand what there talking about and for me I just need a more simpler way of doing it and is there a way to jailbreak it using just your phone or do u have to do it on the computer because I'm having Internet problems at my house and some times I have to go all the way in to town for Internet and I don't have a lab top

Jose Javier Flores - September 7, 2013 at 9:10pm

There isn't a simpler way to this. You should be glad you don't need to put your iPhone in DFU Mode and then jailbreak. This is a one click jailbreak. Easy as that.

For every AT&T user that wants to unlock their phone, you can do it with attiphoneunlocking, google it, it's the site I have been using for several times, they never disappoint me

Heneel Gala - May 17, 2013 at 4:11pm

what about ios 6.1.3 can i use the same procedure for iphone5?

Javve - May 17, 2013 at 11:53am

I have 3Gs with New Bootrom but manufactured before 2011. I had accidently updated iPhone from iTunes to 6.1.3. That upgraded my baseband to 05.16.08 and left me with a locked phone. This is what I did. You can do the same even if you have old Bootrom (that is in fact a boon since you’ll get untethered jailbreak of 6.1.3). But if your phone in manufactured in 2011 (exact date please Google it), then DONOT ATTEMPT THIS. 1- Thumb Rule: Make sure your internet connectivity is present throughout. Make sure of the versions of software mentioned. Make Sure you have shsh blobs of 6.1.3 present (in case you want to go to 6.1.3 in step6). Run all tools as “run as administrator” on windows. 2- Download iOS 4.1. Download Latest TinyUmbrella. Download latest iREB. Put your iPhone in Pwned DFU mode via iREB (Dark screen with no logo). Start TinyUmbrella TSS Server and use iTunes 11 to flash stock 4.1 onto iPhone (hold shift key while selecting restore from iTunes and select 4.1 iOS). Now your Phone is on iOS 4.1 and Baseband 05.16.08, since baseband cannot downgrade via iTunes. 3- Jailbreak using Redsn0w V0.9.14 b2– Select option Install Cydia and Install iPad Baseband. Now your Phone is on iOS 4.1 and Baseband 6.15.00. (May require couple of retries. If putting DFU mode from Cydia doesn’t work, try putting it in DFU mode through iREB) 4- Once Jailbroken, run Redsn0w0.9.15b1 – select ios4.1 from extras and deselect Install Cydia and select downgrade from iPad baseband. Now your Phone is on iOS 4.1 and Baseband 5.13.04. (May require couple of retries. If putting DFU mode from Cydia doesn’t work, try putting it in DFU mode through iREB) 5- Now you have a working iPhone 3gs on iOS 4.1 untethered and you can unlock it from Ultrasn0w. Proceed below only if you are willing to risk a tethered jailbreak for 6.1.3  6- Download iOS 6.0.0 and 6.1.3 for 3gs. Download sn0wbreeze v2.9.14. 7- Start TinyUmbrella TSS server. Prepare Custom ipsw through Sn0wbreeze with option iFaith. When it asks for 6.1.3 appticket, pass on shsh blobs for 6.1.3 (This mode will preserve baseband too, so don’t worry). Sn0wbreeze will prepare the ROM (takes some time). At the end of it, it asks you to put your phone in DFU. Don’t use that. Close the Sn0wbreeze and use latest iREB to put phone in Pwned DFU mode. 8- Start iTunes. Use shift restore and select ipsw built by Sn0wbreeze. When restore is complete and it reboots, press home+power key to force shutdown and reboot using the iBooty tool created by Sn0wbreeze in Step 7 which is now placed on your desktop. 9- Now run Redsn0w0.9.15b1, select ipsw in extra as 6.0.0 (not 6.1.3!!). Click on jailbreak and install Cydia option. (May require couple of retries. If putting DFU mode from Cydia doesn’t work, try putting it in DFU mode through iREB). Whenever the phone is booted, don’t boot from Redsn0w’s ‘just boot’ option. Always use iBooty. If it starts booting in between, force shutdown from home+power and start with iBooty. 10- Now you should have a 3Gs on iOS 6.1.3, which is Jailbroken (tethered in case of New Bootrom) and fully unlockable through Ultras0W at baseband 5.13.04. You’ll have to use iBooty every time you iPhone restarts.
