Yes, you can jailbreak, however it'll be semi-tethered, which means that if you restart the iPhone it will act unjailbroken until you plug it back into a computer, run redsn0w and click the magic "Boot Tethered" button. Actually restarting should be a rare occurrence only when installing certain tweaks or if the battery runs out, so it's not too big of a deal. Instructions can be found here: http://www.jailbreakqa.com/questions/119673/jailbreaking-ios-6

Jailbreaking it alone won't reduce your battery life, but even with a lot of tweaks installed, battery life isn't noticeably affected in my experience. Plus, you can always just restore and unjailbreak if you don't want it jailbroken for any reason.

I have an iPod Touch 4th generation on 6.1.3 and I'm trying to jailbreak using these exact instructions but I'm having the damndest time. I jailbroke it, but Cydia wouldn't show up no matter how many times I booted it tethered using redsn0w. The little pineapple icon shows up when it's starting up but there's no Cydia app or anything to indicate it's jailbroken. I restored a backup, tried jailbreaking it again, same thing. Some google results suggested syncing before jailbreaking and syncing before booting, did both of these things to no avail.

What am I doing wrong? :sigh:

edit: I finally got it, I just ended up using sn0wbreeze. Deleted all my apps which is annoying but oh well, at least it works!

Hey everyone. So I just got a new iPhone after my old one went in the pool about 2 years ago. It is an iPhone 5 and already had firmware 6.1.4 on it. Am I already dead on jailbreaking?

Yup, no chance to jailbreak right now. Most likely the next jailbreak will be released for iOS7 a few weeks/months after it's released.

So I cannot get the SHSH info from another person, they are specific to each phone?

Yes, SHSH blobs are specific to each phone. To expand on that, in devices that have an A5 CPU or above (iPhone 5 has an A6), saving your SHSH blobs are essentially useless at this point in time. Apple upgraded the restore system to also require APTickets, which are unique for EVERY restore, and thus are not subject to the replay attack that was used with SHSH blobs. So the only way to get a version of iOS on your 4S or newer device is if Apple is currently signing it.

It's possible to save your SHSH + APTickets (e.g. with iFaith), but you can't do anything with them currently. Perhaps in the future a flaw will be found that will let us use them and allow us to restore to iOS versions that we have saved.

There was a period of around 2 hours a couple days ago where they were suddenly signing 6.0.x (probably due to the developer server issues they've had) and if you had restored to 6.0.x in that span, you could have had a jailbroken phone. However, this is the first and probably only time this will happen, so don't get your hopes up that it will ever happen again.

Have you tried loading that?

If it doesn't install, open it up (it's a Zip file), and check the *.plist files to see if they have a "6.1" you can change to a "6.0".

Edit: You need to configure iTunes to allow manual installation of carrier bundles.

I forgot to say anything at the time, but this totally worked for me. I was a bit iffy at first due to the version mismatch, but it's perfect. Getting LTE and HSPA+ service.

Isn't it the same as any other iOS version? Or did they add mirroring later? Double-click home, swipe right twice, look for the icon.

I jailbroke my daughter's iPod Touch 4th gen months ago. She used it plenty.

Last night it started rebooting constantly. It would reboot, black screen with apple logo, then go white for a moment, before rebooting again. I tried using the up volume button which was suggested, that had no effect, so I thought to just restore it to 6.1.3 and she can do without a jailbreak for a while.

I started to restore it, iTunes downloaded the latest IOS version, and started to prepare/install it, but got an error during the restore. Now I get the same error every time while it's on the USB cable plug into itunes prompt screen. Tried it with different cables, a different computer, but still getting the problem. Getting an error (9) with it.

Anyone come across this happening? I think I'm going to have to send it to apple (it's about 8 months old) and hope they don't notice it had been jailbroken and refuse to work on it.

Looks like error 9 means it's a problem with the USB connection: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error9. Kind of points to a problem with the iPod touch itself if you've tried different computers and USB cables, though.

Have you tried restoring in DFU mode? http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

That's true for AirPlay media streaming, but for mirroring, my iPad 1 5.1.1 cannot do it. My 6.1.2 iPhone4S can.

Yeh, quite a few times. Similar results.

The splash of white that happens, she thinks, looks quite a bit like a ghosted version of the website she was viewing just as the crash occurred that led to this problem.

If it is an iPod problem, I just hope Apple don't flip their poo poo and refuse to fix it.

If its in warranty and its not accidental damage then it's a free fix. If out of warranty, well, most likely it'll cost.

It's inwarranty time wise, but it was jailbroken before this problem, and that voids warranty. So if the attempted restore wiped that jailbreak poo poo, I am good. If not, and they decide to enforce the jailbreak voids warranty stuff, then I am out of luck. I'll try anyway, see where it goes. Certainly, there's nothing I can see that identifies it as jailbroken, perhaps some gadget they have at Apple may identify the jailbreak. Who knows.

My iPhone 5 just stopped connecting to cell networks a couple weeks ago. I tried restoring, and it couldn't authenticate, even over wifi. I was jailbroken, but decided to take it in to the store and see what they said. Whatever was broken, was broken enough they couldn't even run their diagnostic tools on it. They swapped it out on the spot for a brand new phone. The best part is I was 1 week away from being out of warrantee, and my old phone had a ton of scuffs from where pocket sand got between the case and aluminum back.

Now I just put the iOS 7 beta on my shiny new phone, and it does most the things I had jailbroken for anyways.

Wrong. It does void your warranty because Apple both writes the warranty and services the products, but there's no way for them to tell that the phone has been jailbroken if you properly restore to stock firmware. Don't be surprised if you walk up to the apple store service desk with your reskinned interface and find that the worker gives you the stinkeye. Forget about mailing it in to Apple and expecting to receive a new phone.

You can tell them you used to jailbreak, but if you're having software issues and its still on there they will turn you away.

If you restore and the phone still doesn't work after a jailbreak they don't give a poo poo. They know restoring reverts the phone back.

Your backup might be hosed but whatever.

Assuming it still works, apple doesn't block UPDATING to iOS 7. You can't restore to it, but you can update to it. Just find the firmware online, it will probably be on a page with instructions on how to install it. Very simple process.

That sounds like a nightmare going from a jailbroken filesystem to a beta OS with no restore.

I was opening some avi files in VLC directly from the camera connection kit with iFile like usual, but this time it didn't open, and I dumbly continued clicking on the file until iFile told me I had ran out of space. Later I searched with WinSCP and it found the avi in several different locations, but neither iFile, WinSCP(it says Permission denied. Error code: 3 Error message from server: Permission denied Request code: 13), iFunbox or iCleaner can get rid of them. Is there anything else I can try before a full reset?

If running the command directly logged in as root doesn't work I don't think sudo is going to help since it just allows you to run commands as root while logged in as a different user. Root should be able to do whatever it wants. Weird.

There was some stuff here i edited out because the program I told you to run doesn't ship with iphone.

Running rm -v file.avi might tell you why you aren't able to remove it.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't trying to be mysterious I edited it out because I didn't want people to call me a big dummy for telling him to run some stuff that I didn't even bother to test out first, and then when I did test it it didn't work for me.
