The release of the Evasi0n jailbreak tool was fantastic. It meant the long wait was finally over for all people waiting for a jailbreak on the latest iOS 6 firmware, no matter which device you wanted it on. Then there was a bit of cat and mouse between Apple and the jailbreak developers. As Apple would bring out an update to patch the jailbreak, the jailbreak team where updating their software to counter. Until iOS 6.1.3 that is.
The release of iOS 6.1.3 would be the end of Evasi0n. At least until iOS 7 would be due to come out as the developers spoke of not wasting their time with the small jailbreak update. Instead, they would set their sights ahead and start preparing for the iOS 7 jailbreak which will be due to come out around the middle of this year. This news saddened many who had already updated to the iOS 6.1.3 firmware assuming there would be an Evasion jailbreak ready just around the corner. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be.
Thanks to Sn0wbreeze — as it has been the case for many of the latest jailbreaks — there is now no need to worry, or for that matter, wait for the iOS 7 jailbreak. Sn0wbreeze have released an update to Sn0wbreeze 2.9.14 which will indeed jailbreak the iOS 6.1.3 firmware. There is one condition, however, as so often is the case. This jailbreak is only for pre A4 devices. Meaning, you will need an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS or iPod Touch 4G to use this jailbreak. That does narrow down the list of users considerably, and it is important to note that it does not include the iPhone 4s. That manages to catch many people out, but pre A4 means iPhone 4 and below, not the iPhone 4S as I previously mentioned.
Before we get started on the guide for the iOS 6.1.3 untethered jailbreak, if you are using an earlier iOS 6 firmware version you will need a different guide. Try using the Sn0wbreeze 2.9.11 which you can either download or follow the how to jailbreak with Sn0wbreeze 2.9.11 guide. If it is Evasi0n you want, you can most certainly use that also.Evasion iOS 6.1.2 jailbreak guide is here for you. If you are running iOS 6.1, there are guides for that too, just check out our jailbreak section for the right guide and associated downloads.
How to Jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 untethered:
Step 1. Download the latest Sn0wbreeze version which was just released from here.
Note: You will, of course, need to be running iOS 6.1.3 to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3. Instead of getting this from your settings on the device, grab it from this direct link provided. This is important because you need to have the file on your computer when using the Sn0wbreeze guide.
Step 2. Open up Sn0wbreeze on your computer and click on the arrow in the bottom corner of the screen to go to the next page. In here will be an option for you to select your IPSW. Search for the iOS 6.1.3 firmware file which you should have downloaded above from the note.
Step 3. It will now verify your firmware. Wait patiently and then click the blue arrow to go to the next screen.
Step 4. From this screen, there will be a simple mode option. Select this option and proceed.
Step 5. Important: You will now be asked if you would like to activate your iPhone. This is referring to Sn0wbreeze activation, and you want to choose yes for this is you are intending on unlocking your device with Ultrasn0w. If not then you can click no.
Step 6. Let Sn0wbreeze go to work now. It will be customizing the firmware as we speak. Wait patiently until it is finished. It may take 10 to 15 minutes reports have stated. Note: You will know it is completed when the custom firmware file appears on your desktop.
Step 7. There are one last thing to do. Sn0wbreeze will prompt you to enter Pwned DFU mode. To do this simply follow the on-screen instructions. It is not an easy task. However, you can keep trying until you get it without any implications.
That’s all there is to it. You should now have learned how to Jailbreak iOS 6.1.3.
