    Users wishing to unlock an iPhone 4S, are asked to stay on iOS 5.0.
    Please note, however, there is currently no unlock for the 4S that is free.


    How to Jailbreak your iDevice
    By: Aeither

    This is a tutorial on 'How to Jailbreak your iDevice'. This covers all iDevices up to A5.

    All links to the software is provided. This is for educational purposes only. If you attempt to do this process, it is at your own risk.

    Latest Greenposi0n: 6.1
    Latest Redsn0w: 0.9.12b2
    Latest Absinthe: 2.0.4



    Step 1: The download

    You will need one ingenious piece of software for this to work. The software, however, is different for each device so please make sure you download the right one for your device.


    Non-A5 Devices

    Redsn0w 0.9.4 (Windows): Download it here!
    Redsn0w 0.9.4 (Mac OS): Download it here!
    This Redsn0w jailbreak is for the iOS firmware: 3.1.3. If you firmware is not at this, do not download or update. If it is higher, download a newer version below.

    Greenposi0n 6.1 (Windows): Download it here!
    Greenposi0n 6.1 (Mac OS): Download it here!
    This Greenposi0n jailbreak is for the iOS firmware: 4.2.1. If you firmware is not at this, do not download or update. If it is higher, download a newer version below.

    Redsn0w 0.9.12b2 (Windows): Download it here!
    Redsn0w 0.9.12b2 (Mac OS): Download it here!
    This Redsn0w jailbreak is for the iOS firmware: 5.1.1. If you firmware is not at this, do not download or update.

    A5-Devices

    Absinthe 2.0.4 (Windows): Download it here!
    Absinthe 2.0.4 (Mac OS): Download it here! (.dmg)
    This Absinthe jailbreak is for the iOS firmware: 5.1.1 and A5 Devices. If you firmware is not at this, do not download or update.

    Note: All files are uploaded by myself. Credits go to the makers of the jailbreak software.



    Step 2: The install

    To Jailbreak your device, obviously you need to prepare it. The guide below should get you ready for this.



    1. After running the software, select the things you want to install. If you are not familiar with Jailbreaking, simply press 'Jailbreak'.

    2. The software will give you a run down on what is about to happen. Read it! It tells you important information and how to prepare your device
    After reading, click 'Next'.

    3. After clicking next, the software will commence its DFU guide. Follow these instructions well.

    4. The program will then do the rest.

    Note: This was done with Redsn0w 0.9.12b3 on a Windows PC. It may be different on Mac OS and for older versions.

    1. After running the software read the text above. Turn off your iDevice.

    2. Run the DFU guide. Make sure you follow these instructions carefully.

    3. The program will do the rest.

    Note: This Jailbreak was done with Greenposi0n 6.1 on a Windows PC. It may alter on a Mac OS.

    I need an iPhone 4S to make a tutorial. Since I don't have one, I can't really make one but I'm sure you can find a guide online.



    Step 3: The Cydia setup

    Cydia is the main program for all your needs when Jailbreaking your device. To get it working, you need to do some awesome stuff.



    1. Select 'Manage' and then tap on 'Sources'. Then tap 'Edit' in the top right corner and then tap 'Add'.

    [​IMG]

    2. Add the following sources:

    • http://repo.insanelyi.com/
    • http://cydia.hackulo.us/

    3: Wait for them to install!

    Installous 4 provides you with a wide range of cracked applications. This allows you to download games, apps, tools and more; all for free.

    1. Go to the Hackulo.us source. After going in, select 'Installous 4'. You will need to scroll down!

    [​IMG]

    2. Tap 'Install' and then 'Confirm'. Wait for it to download and install. You will need to restart your device or springboard.

    3. Run Installous and choose your apps. Enjoy!

    so u mean i cant unlock it since 4gs (a5 devices) donot support The ultra sn0w jailbreak?

    necr0 Well-Known Member

    Yep. A5 devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4S) have new code. For a unlock, Ultrasn0w needs to be re-coded to support the 4S lock.
    An unlock should be available soon.

    Aiether i dont think you should name it after your self, since you really havent done anything, maybe that could be the reason your files got deleted, give credit to their respectable owners/devs

    He wrote the tutorial, therefore he's entitled to give himself credit for that. the files getting deleted is highly unlikely to have any relation to him writing this tutorial.

    It was my fault the files got deleted.

    I deleted them myself, but when I tried to upload the newer versions, it stuffed up. They're fixed now.
