Supported devices:
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPod touch 4G
What you’ll need:
  • A pre-A4 iOS device.
  • The latest version of Sn0wbreeze. [Download link]
  • A 30-pin USB cable to plug your device to your PC.
  • iOS 6.1.3
  • Windows 8 must have .NET Framework 3.5 installed to run Sn0wbreeze. [Download link]
If you’re on iOS 6.1.3 and fall within the criteria of having an A4 or older device, then carry on with this tutorial using Sn0wbreeze for a tethered jailbreak. Important info: As mentioned at the beginning of this post, only A4 and older devices are supported, which means if you have an iPhone 5 / 4S or the latest fifth-gen iPod touch and are running iOS 6.1.3, then you’re way out of luck. Since this is a tethered jailbreak, you will need to plug your device to your PC and boot tethered with iBooty every time your device reboots.
All set? Let’s begin!
How to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3:
Step 1: Download the latest version of Sn0wbreeze, which is v2.9.14. You can grab it from the link given above. Also download the 6.1.3 firmware file tailored for your device.
Step 2: Launch Sn0wbreeze, click on the blue arrow on the bottom right hand-side of the display.
Step 3: Click on Browser for an IPSW and select the firmware file you downloaded in step 2.
Step 4: Once the firmware has been verified, click on the next arrow once more, and from the next screen; select Simple Mode.
Now Sn0wbreeze will ask you if you want to activate your iPhone? Select “Yes” if you plan to unlock your phone using tools such as Ultrasn0w. Select “No” if you are on an official supported carrier, or if you have a factory unlocked iPhone.
