Jailbreak iOS 6.1 Beta 2 Tethered Using Redsn0w 0.9.15b3

We have been doing our best to keep everyone up to date with as much information as we can source regarding an untethered iOS 6 and iOS 6.1 jailbreak for the iPhone 5. So far this jailbreak has failed to materialise but we do know that the dev teams are hard at work. Today we want to tell you about jailbreaking iOS 6.1 beta 2 using Redsn0w 0.9.15b3. We also have to point out that this is a tethered jailbreak solution.

Apple released iOS 6.1 beta 2 to developers earlier this week. We already know that the Sn0wBreeze 2.9.7 tool can jailbreak iOS 6 and iOS 6.0.1 but now iDownloadBlog are reporting that developers can jailbreak iOS 6.1 beta 2 using Redsn0w 0.9.15b3. This is a tethered jailbreak which means that the process has to be repeated every time the device is rebooted.

This is more great news for the Dev Team who are working tirelessly on an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and hopefully it will give them some more clues and help them to discover even more exploits that Apple haven't yet patched. It seems to be a long wait for the iPhone 5 jailbreak but like all idevice owners we here really do appreciate all the hard work they have been doing. If you follow any of the main jailbreaking crew on Twitter you will be aware that they are doing all they can and they hope like everyone else to have an untethered iPhone 5 jailbreak available for public release as soon as possible.

Until then, we will do our best to keep you updated and bring you the information as we get it. If you have a developer account and you want to use the Redsn0w jailbreak, it is avaialble now.

iOS 6 Untethered Jailbreak For iPhone 5 Update

There seems to be growing criticim over the slow release of a jailbreak for iPhone 5, 4S and the iPad mini and members of the Chronic Dev Team and the iPhone Dev Team are responding to it. Back in September when iOS 6 was first released jailbreak fans were excited to see that the Chronic Dev Team and the iPhone Dev team were in action working on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6. This has however turned into a roller-coaster ride and we have all watched and waited for the iOS 6 untethered jailbreak that still hasn't arrived.

Initially things looked really promising as just a couple of hours after the release of the iPhone 5, developer Grant Paul posted a photo on Twitter of the iPhone 5 running Cydia. This photo made us all feel great and we expected things to be the same as befoe with an iOS untethered jailbreak being released just a week or so after the device release. This hasn't been the case so far and as time went by we realised this wasn't going to be as easy as we thought. When no further developments were being posted, those waiting for a jailbreak solution began to pester @Pod2g on twitter and his page was flooded with questions about when the iOS 6 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 5 would be released. He responded on Twitter saying, every iOS 6 jailbreak request should go to @joshmtucker who is heavily working on it at the moment. This was a joke but it showed the pressure the team was under trying to release a jailbreak for iPhone 5.

At the JailbreakCon 2012, Pod2g took the stage to let conference attenders know that the iPhone 5 running Cydia was a “failbreak” meaning that is was for developers only and nowhere near ready for release. This still gave us hope that a jailbreak was being worked on. Work has continued and the iPhone Dev Team have continued to provide updates for Redsn0w which allows users to return back to their previous 5x jailbreaks with saved SHSH blobs, as well as an iOS 6 jailbreak for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

Planetbeing gave us more hope when he tweeted happily about exploits that had been discovered and a nearly tethered jailbreak for iPhone 5. We all waited but so far we haven't heard anymore about the progress on an iOS 6 untethered jailbreak. We have seen photos of “failbreaks” on Twitter but this doesn't help and bitter A5 and A6 device users are missing the joys of Cydia and all its tweaks.

Those looking for an untethered iOS 6 jailbreak for iPhone 5 are getting a little frustrated and now that it is nearly two months since the release of iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 and still no untethered jailbreak insight many are being to wonder if it is indeed possible. We do know however that when the iOS 6 and iOS 6.0.1 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and other devices is released we will all know about it and the real celebrations can begin. Until then we like everyone else just have to wait and be patient. It will come.
