How To Jailbreak 6.1.3 Semi Untethered iPhone 4, 3GS And iPod Touch With Redsn0w

Jailbreak 6.1.3 iOS Semi Untethered iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 4G
Earlier this week, a popular jailbreak tutorial creator named iCrackUriDevice created and published a new and more in-depth iOS 6.1.3 jailbreak guide for older A4-powered devices using redsn0w. Unfortunately, as with our past 6.1.3 articles, this jailbreak remains exclusive to the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the iPod touch 4G - it’s also a Tethered jailbreak and will require more work than the incredibly-simple evasi0n utility. Thankfully though, if you own a newer device like the iPhone 5 or the iPad mini on a previous version of iOS 6 (including 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, 6.1.1 and 6.1.2), you can still achieve a fully UnTethered jailbreak by following our evasi0n jailbreak 6.1.2 tutorial, as it still includes support for older firmwares.

As mentioned above, the Redsn0w 6.1.3 Jailbreak is compatible with the following iPhone and iPod touch models running iOS 6.1.3.

  • iPhone 4 (both GSM and CMDA models)
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPod touch 4th generation

Although the following newer iOS devices are incompatible with this jailbreak for 6.1.3, they can still jailbreak on previous versions of iOS 6.

  • iPhone 4S
  • iPad mini
  • iPod touch 5th generation
  • iPad 4 powered by Apple’s A6X chip and Retina display
  • iPad 3
  • iPad 2

In spite of the fact that this is a refresher tutorial, all news related to future jailbreak utilities can be found in our evasion jailbreak 6.1.3 category archive. Moreover, iCrackUriDevices video, which is embedded below, contains an advanced explanation of why newer devices aren’t supported in the latest, and only, 6.1.3 jailbreak.

Jailbreak 6.1.3 iOS Semi Untethered With Redsn0w 0.9.15b3

Step 1: Download both the Redsn0w jailbreak 6.1.3 tool and the corresponding iOS 6.0 IPSW for your device, both can be found in this article’s download section, which is below.

Step 2: After Redsnow has successfully downloaded, if you’re on a Windows-based PC, right click the utility, set compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and grant the program administrative privileges. Mac users needn’t worry about compatibility, they can skip to the third step.

Step 3: With Redsn0w open, navigate to Extras and then Select IPSW. In the selection window that pops up, point the jailbreak utility at the iOS 6.0 IPSW downloaded in the first step, not 6.1.3. Once the firmware file has been properly identified, click back to the main Redsnow menu.

Step 4: Proceed to jailbreaking by clicking the main Jailbreak button. After ensuring that the option to Install Cydia was checked by default, proceed to the next screen.

Step 5: Once you’ve reached this point, Redsn0w will suggest turning off your device prior to entering DFU mode, however, it’s possible to bypass this stage and simplify the process. Plug your iPhone or iPod touch into your computer via a standard 30-pin USB cable and continue to the sixth step.

Step 6: Press and hold both the home and power buttons together for a total of ten seconds. Once exactly ten seconds has passed, release the top power button and continue to hold the home button for an additional ten seconds - remember, DFU mode is simply a black screen.

Step 7: If DFU mode was entered correctly, redsn0w will automatically proceed to the jailbreak process. Wait for your device to be jailbroken and to reboot, once it has, you’ll be required to boot tethered.

How To Boot Tethered On iOS 6.1.3 - iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4th Generation

Unfortunately, due to the tethered nature of Redsn0w, users must boot tethered for Cydia to appear and also every time the device reboots or powers off. To boot an iPhone or iPod touch Tethered, simply open RedSn0w, click Extras, followed by Select IPSW, point the selection window at iOS 6.0 and select the top option to Just Boot.

Jailbreak Downloads

Congratulations, after only seven easy-to-understand steps, you’ve successfully jailbroken your iPod touch or iPhone on Apple’s iOS 6.1.3. Finally, if you wish to expand upon this jailbreak and install a package that coverts it into a semi Untethered jailbreak, be sure to follow iCrackUriDevice’s above video tutorial.

  11. John Dough says:

    Your download link for RedSnow tried to plant malicious things in my browser. The program itself attempts to autoinstall not only a bunch of bloatware, but I caught and quarantined five different trojans during install. Shame on you, and fuck you too.

  12. Rachel says:

    Please help, i followed all instructions and got to the part where the iPhone’s screen is black with lots of small wording flowing down the screen very quickly. However, after only a short amount of time, the words “Please wait…” start to endlessly flow down the left side of the screen and never stop. The only way to stop is it to reboot my device normally and then it boots as if never jailbroken. Thanks

    Hey guys! If your getting the “exploit failed” error this helped me a lot. Hope it works for you guys too! 1. First off with windows 7 right click the redsn0w application 2. go to properties 3. click the compatibility tab and use “Windows XP (Service Pack 2) then click the “run as administrator” box under privilege level. 4. apply the new settings 5. Plug your ipod into a USB 2.0 PORT.<-IMPORTANT 6. Use Redsn0w and tell me if I helped you

    • austin Sluder says:

      The reason why you downlaod the 6.0 is because your tricking your device into thnking its on 6.0 when its really 6.1.3 and you cant jailbreak any iphone above the 4

  29. Dan says:

    Hey, what am I doing wrong? I can get all the way up to Step 6, but then when I hold it in for 10 secs and then another 10 secs it gets stuck and says. “Please wait while your build is being processed.” and, “Uploading First Stage.” It looks nothing like your video but I did everything you did. I have an iPod 4G with iOS 6.1.3, I ran as administrator and I changed it to that Pack 2 thingy and it’s still now working. Help!! I only have an 8gb with a little space left. Does it need a lot of space to jailbreak it?

    • Tyler says:

      • Ilene says:

  33. hawklord says:

    have tried several times i am using the correct ios 6.0 on iphone 4 gsm model A1332 but keep getting stuck at waiting for reboot i have jailbroken several iphones in the past and am well versed in the procedure so have no idea what prob could be, cant wait for ios 7 with jailbreak

  34. Tomislaf says:

    Well i restored my Iphone3GS “acidentaly” with itunes (first time iphone user), it was jailbroken before and i didnt know that clearly it was the worst thing i could do. anyways when it is originaly restored it wont activate i tried this jailbreak and with a bit of luck and some time i did it but the iphone didnt want to accept any sim card, apps working but cant call with it. That represents a hufe problem for me. Is there any way to activate it without jailbreak or any way i can fix this little bug of mine. Any help or advice would be highly appreciated.

    • asdasd says:

      u should try to download a activation ticket and install it with redsn0w but dont know if it works got same prob cause of simlock…

  35. Onsilva says:

    I performed the download of two items: redsn0w 0.9.15b3 iOS 6.0 IPSW However giving this error when I click Jailbreak: “Failed to decrypt kernel”

  36. explorer says:

    I make tethered JB in my iphone 4 all is ok but i thing tethered not good,i alweys must boot with redsnow when iphone reeboot

  37. Ahiram says:

    What about newer iPhone’s, like the 3GS with fixed boot rom? Will this work for that?

  38. Hugo says:

    And for why no make a unthered jilbreak for ios 6.1.3

    • Tyler says:

      you don’t deserve an answer to your question. it has been answered 10000000 billion times and you should learn to use Google and realize that developers don’t want to use an exploit that they can use for iOS 7. wait till after ios 7 and probably 6.1.3 will be jailbreakable untetherted

  39. Obliveater says:

    They are working on stuff for 7. It’s been confirmed so many times there will not be untethered for 6.1.3. It’s not hard to understand this, but things are coming for 7. We are not sure what it is yet, but it’s coming.

  40. salahddine says:

    yes, Tell us something new No JB for 6.1.3 ? and No Downgrade ?! just blah blablah 6.1.3 first than ios 7

  41. Steve says:

    Oops, sorry, just noticed the reference to iCrackUriDevice’s video.

  42. Steve says:

    Title says Semi-untethered, article talks about tethered. What am I missing?

  43. Derrickblogs says:

    Well I was having a portion of hope because I have been working on a Iphone 4s and after learning about the Iphone 6.1.3 is a mess, Evasion I want to thank you for the previous Jailbreaks but you guys left us hanging like a hooker at Sunday service… Sad but true but I know one thing I am done with Apple products this is a shameful event to even think your confident about Apple. This is why I call it Crapple. Because IOS 7 many bugs, Much lag and you would think why would they make IOS7 look so cartoon looking nothing special about it… I actually sold my Apple device and I am on my last Iphone and I am finished with IOS all the money Apple is making you would think they would make an operating system that the customers would not have to struggle with so many issues. The answer you will get at the Apple store is buy a new one… what a joke so you are going to end up after about 9 months at the store by time Iphone 6 comes out, and that is what is going to happen. Most don’t see it coming it’s sad Dangle a carrot in front of the rabbit and not tell him its a orange hot pepper is what Apple is doing.. You guys need to trash all the Apple products.

    • Rlynx says:

      Truly i am never getting an apple product again. I am done!

    • Someone who isn't retarded says:

      You’re a fucking idiot. Of course iOS 7 has many bugs, it’s a beta version, if you didn’t understand what that was before installing it to your device, you’re a complete moron. The Evad3rs ‘left you hanging’ for 6.1.3 for reasons that have been explained countless times on countless websites, if you don’t understand why there is no 6.1.3 untethered jailbreak you have mental issues, I wish it was legal to euthanise people as fucking dumb as you, what hope does humanity have when thick motherfuckers like you are out in the world breeding, fucking hell.

      • Mynutsinyourmouth says:

        So true. All these low IQ PEOPLE shouldn’t have access to any type of computer or phone if they can’t understand why there isn’t a jailbreak for 6.1.3 or 6.1.4. Every other day there’s an article that says the developers of jail breaks aren’t going to release a jail break for a minor update like 6.1.3 because of the exploits they will lose when apple releases 7.0. So again if people can’t comprehend this they have no business on any technology. These people that ask these questions everyday with out reading anything and then post saying some real dumb reason on why they don’t know why there isn’t a jb yet.

        • WHos More smarter says:

          Both of you making above comments.. coming from two separate mama but i bet it fucked by same papa!! you morons and full of idiots .. if know what is humanity at least dont fucking comment motherfuckers!! be nice and leave nice comments or direct to link where they can read why it is and isnt! stupid motherfuckers showing off for no reason and fukin agreeing on comments what a fools why not both of u meet up and choke up on ur dick n feel something good.. idiots faggots… i bet ur mamas pussy is not geeky so u knw wtf is happening since u came out that whole.. lol chow Adios mother fuckers…**
