Apple recently released the iOS 6.1.3 to fix some issues with the previous iOS firmware versions but unknown to some users who accidentally upgraded to the iOS 6.1.3, Apple already fixed the Jailbreak loophole used by Evasi0n, so there was no way to jailbreak the iOS 6.1.3 or downgrade to an older firmware. Luckily, ( for people using A4 oriented iPhonesn and the iPhone 5), there is currently a tethered jailbreak available for the iOS 6.1.3 which is described in theis article.
Jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 on iPhone, iPod Touch using Redsn0w for Mac and Windows
Heads Up:
1. This guide can be used on only A4 oriented iDevices and the iPhone 5 which include:
- iPhone 5
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS
- iPod Touch 4G
2. If you are currently using an older iOS version, do not upgrade to the iOS 6.1.3 because you will not be able to downgrade back to an earlier version if you need to, besides there is no untethered jailbreak available for the iOS 6.1.3, and upgrading to it would override any untethered jailbreak you currently have.
3. For iDevices unlocked with ultrasnow, do not upgrade to the iOS 6.1.3 because there is no known unlock method.
4. It is is advisable to read through this guide first before starting out to implement the steps involved.
