• ‘P0sixspwn’ performs an untethered jailbreak which does not require your device to be connected to the computer each time you reboot;

Pre-requisites for performing iOS 6.1.6 jailbreak or iOS 6.1.3 Jailbreak

Before proceeding to Jailbreak,

• Backup all of your data on the device using iTunes (or iCloud) so that you can always restore everything if anything goes wrong;

• Disable the passcode on your iOS device temporarily, if you have set any. To do this go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock>Turn Passcode Off. Don’t forget to enable it after you’ve successfully jail-broken your device;

• Uncheck ‘Encrypt iPhone Backup’ option in iTunes temporarily for the jailbreak process. Don’t forget to enable it after you’ve successfully jail-broken your device;

• Stop all ongoing processes with iTunes / iCloud before starting the Jailbreak process;

• Ensure that your iOS device has above 80% battery. If the device powers off during the process due to low battery, it could damage your device;

How To Jailbreak iOS 6.1.6 / 6.1.3 for iPhone using the P0sixspwn app

Follow the steps below to perform iOS 6.1.6 jailbreak

Step 1: Download and install the latest version of ‘P0sixspwn jailbreak’ for your OS (Windows/Mac) from this link and save it to your PC;

Step 2: Don’t do any operation on your device while P0sixspwn Jailbreak proceeds;

Step 3: Double-click the downloaded file or right-click ‘Run as Administrator’ (if on a Windows machine) and extract ‘p0sixspwn’ on your PC;

Step 4: After launching the app, it will prompt you to connect your iOS device to the PC;

Step 5: Connect your device to the computer via a standard USB cable and wait for the software to automatically detect it and show the iOS firmware version;

Step 6: Once detected the Jailbreak button will become active;

Step 7: Hit the ‘Jailbreak’ button and follow the onscreen instructions;

Step 8: The Jailbreak app will perform several steps which you can track from the messages on the screen such as getting payload files from Apple…, gathering information to generate jailbreak data…, sending initial data…, waiting to reboot…, waiting for device…, remounting root…, sending Cydia and untether payload to device…

Step 9: When all the process is complete, a message will appear- your device is now jail-broken and it is now preparing to reboot automatically. Your device will auto reboot and will take a while to boot up, which is normal;

Step 10: When your iOS device is rebooted, it should have been successfully jail-broken. Once P0sixspwn reports that your device has been Jail-broken, it’s safe to unlock and open Cydia. The Cydia icon should appear on the home screen of the device. Cydia may not appear on the first page and you may have to search for it;

Conclusion
