How to jailbreak iOS 6.1.6 untethered on iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th Generation using redsn0w (and the p0sixspwn untether package).
- Download the IPSW (firmware file) for your device for iOS 6.0 (here's a convenient list of download links).
- Open the latest version of redsn0w (Windows download | Mac download), click "Extras", click "Select IPSW", choose the iOS 6.0 IPSW you downloaded, and then click "Back" at the bottom of redsn0w.
- Click "Jailbreak".
- Make sure Cydia is selected.
- Follow the instructions to put your device into DFU mode.
- Wait for the jailbreak to finish. Close redsn0w.
- Reopen redsn0w, click "Extras", click "Select IPSW", and again choose the iOS 6.0 IPSW you downloaded.
- Click "Just Boot".
- Follow the instructions to put your device into DFU mode.
- Wait for your device to boot up jailbroken.
- Install the "p0sixspwn" untether package from the Cydia/Telesphoreo repository (a default Cydia repository). (But if you have an old bootrom 3GS, you can skip this step.)
If redsn0w gets stuck in the reboot process, your antivirus software is silently interfering with it. This is a known issue. The only antivirus product known not to interfere with redsn0w is MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender). Any others should be disabled, or, if that doesn't work, uninstalled.
