Untethered iOS 6.1.3 Jailbreak For iPhone 4 Has Been Found

There's a strong possibility that iOS 6.1.3 will see an untethered jailbreak soon for iPhone 4 as tweeted by a hacker by the Twitter handle @Winocm.

Presently, only iPhone 3GS old bootrom can be jailbroken untethered on iOS 6.1.3. iPhone 4 and 3GS (New BR) can be jailbroken tethered only while iPhone 4S and 5 can't be jailbroken at all. 

However, according to @winocm, he believes that he has found a binary code that can be used to achieve an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4 on iOS 6.1.3 but "it needs some work". That was the good news which lasted for about 2hrs, then came the bad news.

 

Although he was quick to point out that the code "barely work on the iPhone 4" and thus he's not too sure it would work out. That is just wicked! That was the bad news.

Seriously! Some people's hope were just dashed! Some may come down with a heart attack for they have waited for a news of untethered iOS 6.1.3 jailbreak for their iPhone 4 like forever.

Anyway, seeing how close we are to officially getting iOS 7 on our iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S devices, and how more notable hackers are working indefatigably and consistently to release a jailbreak for iOS 7, there should be little cause for worry.

Let's wait on the super heroes, the usual suspects we've always known to bring us a good and working untethered jailbreak for iOS 7 rather than getting our hopes up by news from someone who we barely know.

How To Jailbreak iOS 6.1.2 Untethered With Evasi0n 1.4

Apple released iOS 6.1.2 last week to fix some lingering issues experienced by iPhone 4S and to a lesser degree other iPhone users.

Although battery drain issue due to excessive Microsoft exchange communication between the Microsoft server and iDevice was fixed, passcode issue is still there.

Consequently, this new update release is just for bug fixes and doesn't really bring any new features to the device.

This means that if you don't have battery drain problem and don't care about the Microsoft exchange stuff or don't use it, then you may not go through the hassle of updating.

However, if you want to update to iOS 6.1.2 and jailbreak untethered, below is a step by step process which is an excerpt of the more detailed process here.

Step 1

Download iOS 6.1.2 using iTunes or at www.idownload.com/iphone-downloads/ if you intend to preserve baseband.

To preserve baseband for Gevey unlock, follow this tutorial.

Step 2

Update your device to iOS 6.1.2 with iTunes. If you downloaded outside iTunes, just hold down the Shift key on the keyboard then press Restore, select the IPSW you downloaded. Press OK and let the update take effect

Step 3

Once your device is updated, launch Evasi0n 1.4. Wait for it to detect your device.

Step 4

Click jailbreak and then let evasi0n do its thing. Your device will reboot & a new icon (Evasi0n icon) will show up on your screen.

Step 5

Click on the icon and Evasi0n will complete its process. Once done, your device will be jailbroken untethered on iOS 6.1.2

Alternatives Apps To Take Installous' Place
It's being weeks now since Puy0 dropped the bombshell that his team is shutting down Hackulous and stopping support for the popular Installous app on most jailbroken idevices.
While this is a good thing for some folks like app developers and Apple but it's not good for those that like to test out apps before purchasing. Also, some people that like cracked apps will also feel the jolt of not having Installous anymore.

iOS6.1 untethered jailbreak on iPhones iPods and iPads have been achieved with the help of the Evasi0n tool, the need for installation of cracked apps and Cydia apps have increased more than ever. Although, Installous in no more, there are a couple of alternatives out there that will fill the space that Installous left behind.
These alternatives are stated below.
It should be noted that this is note to encourage piracy and the use of cracked applications but for educational purposes and also for the majority of people that would want to test out an app before going to spend their dollars in purchasing an app that might turn out shitty or great.

For you to have these alternative Installous apps, you are required to jailbreak your device (iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, iPod and iPad on iOS 4.x or higher).
The following are alternatives to Installous that can be installed to your device.

• Appcake

• Vshare

• HIPStore

• IPAstore

To install Appcake:
Open Cydia > Manage > sources. Select Edit and then Add. Next enter the repo cydia.iphonecake.com. Click on Add Source. Cydia will proceed to downloading the archives. Once downloaded, open the downloaded repo and you can download AppCake+.

Beware of These 5 Fake Jailbreak Tools

One of the most anticipated tool is that tool that is supposed to jailbreak the iOS 6.1 untethered on all Apple devices.
Contrary to the popular ones we have always had from Chronic Dev-team, this one is coming from the Evad3rs team and the name of the tool is Evasi0n which will be released on Sunday.

However, people could be easily fooled with fake jailbreak tools that promises to jailbreak all iDevices on iOS 6.1 untethered. these fake tools are listed below and you are advised NOT to use them or PAY for any of them as they can render your device unusable or install spyware into your device.
Most importantly, wait patiently for the legitimate jailbreak tool. It is usually free and very stable and legit.

Fake Jailbreak Tools
1. Gull1hack & Blacksn0w V2
These tools by the Gull1hack team have been declared fake by the iPhone Dev-team. The tools was supposedly to jailbreak iPhone and iPod touch devices on the new bootrom untethered.

2. FastRa1n0.5
This particular one says it can jailbreak iOS 5 and later untethered and even charge a whooping $24.99 for it. As far confirmation goes, @comex have said that it is fake and does not work. Consequently, it is fake. Stay away from it.

3. Ghost App
This is yet another jailbreaking tool that promises to jailbreak untethered iOS 5 on all iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S for $24.99 also. It doesn't even have a demo to try out its functions.
Just like FastRa1n0.5 above, it's not legit, its a fake. Stay away from it

4. Jailbreak
This is got me laughing. It is sold for $9.99 and does nothing. It even featured in the Apple app store at a time ( still wondering how Apple allowed a jailbreak tool in the store anyway). Anyways, it was removed from the store when Apple and Dev-Team found out it was a fake tool.

Unlock iPhone 4S
This tool claim to unlock iPhone 4S on any baseband and also jailbreak untethered. On their website, declaration was made that refund will be made if jailbreak and unlock was unsuccessful. However, no real testimony that it has worked.
The best way to confirm a tool is working is to go to various fora. Here you will hear people are saying about a particular app

THESE ARE LEGITIMATE JAILBREAKING TOOLS
These tools below don't need introduction as they are the most popular legitimate free jailbreaking tool available.

1. Redsn0w
2. Absinthe
3. Sn0wbreeze
4. Evasi0n (particularly for iOS 6.1)

Evasi0n is the most recent of them all which will be released on Sunday 3rd of Feb. 2013 for public download. Created by the evad3rs team (pimskes, pod2j, musclenerd etc).

If you want more news for evasi0n click here
mind you, http://evasi0ndownload.blogspot.com/# seem to be a copy of the original webpage. Don't download from it. The font used and a declaration of a download looks fishy.

iOS 6.1 Untethered Jailbreak For All iDevices Finally

Its being like a million years just waiting for the announcement that an untethered jailbreak would be available for all devices.
If not for the delay tactics and games that Apple have been playing in the release of the iOS6.1 officially, there would have been a public release of the tool to jailbreak iOS6.1 untethered on all devices.

Apple on Sunday last week released a copy of iOS6.1 but not publicly even though it carries the look and build of the final version the OS. Perhaps, this was done in the hope that the exploit needed for the untethered jailbreak will leak out and then Apple can patch those exploits.
Well, the Evad3rs team (Pimskeks, Pod2g and Musclenerd) are not foolish as to fall for that kind of trick Apple is trying to pull.

According to the team, iOS6.1 appears to be vulnerable to the exploits they are planning on using to jailbreak untethered all iDevices on iOS6.1.
Also, there is also a hint from Musclenerd that this tool could be released on the Sunday, which is the day for Super Bowl.

Provided, all go as planned, then we should be seeing a tool released by the Evad3rs team capable of jailbreaking iPhone 5 and all other devices running the iOS6.1 software.

Till, then stay alert and don't just update your device carelessly so that you don't end up with bricked device.
