The jailbreak community have been hard at work since the WWDC last week announced the first beta version of Apple�s iOS 6. As is the case with all new iOS updates, all limera1nable A4 devices and below such as the iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPhone 3GS can now be jailbroken tethered only using the new Redsn0w 0.9.13dev 1 tool.
Before you use this tool to jailbreak your device it must be noted that this jailbreak is meant for developers who are looking to fix bugs in their broken tweaks/apps. iOS 6 beta is only currently available to registered developers of iOS Dev Centre and Cydia won�t be installed. This jailbreak is compatible with A4 devices only and Hacktivation is not supported.
Here is your step by step jailbreak guide./p>
Step 1: Download the latest version of the Redsn0w tool. Once downloaded locate the Redsn0w zip file and uncompress the content to a familiar location.
Step 2: Download iOS 6 beta IPSW firmware file legally from the iOS Dev Centre. Make sure the downloaded firmware file is specific to the device you are going to jailbreak. Once you have downloaded the firmware file, restore it on your device using either Xcode or iTunes.
Before going through any jailbreak process it is always a good idea to make a full backup of your device�s content. Connect the iDevice to iTunes via USB and make a complete backup.
Step 3: Run the Redsn0w executable file and select Extras from the main interface before clicking the Select IPSW option. Next locate and select the iOS 6 beta firmware file. On the main interface of Redsn0w, select the Jailbreak option.
Step 4: The rest of the jailbreak process is easy and Redsn0w provides on screen prompts relating to the jailbreak procedure. The only thing you will have to do is connect your device into DFU mode so make sure you follow the steps on screen exactly.
Step 5: When DFU mode is detected by Redsn0w, the rest of the process will be automatically completed. This jailbreak is a tethered method which means if you device loses power or has to be restarted you will have to reboot it into jailbreak state.
You do need to remember that Cydia won�t be installed with this jailbreak and that is because it is not ready for iOS 6 yet. The only way to access the device is through SSH or afc2 and if you don�t know what either of these are then you shouldn�t be using the developer version of Redsn0w.
