How to Get Cydia on iOS 6b1 After Tethered Jailbreak 0n A4 Devices

We got some hot news in the town for the developers who are on iOS 6b1 and wanted to have Cydia on their iPhone/iPod. But, due to the broken status of Cydia on iOS 6b1, they couldn’t have Cydia after the official Tethered Jailbreak for iOS 6b1 announced few days back by The iPhone Dev-Team. The Jailbreak is only for Developers who want to update their Apps on iOS 6. The Jailbreak doesn’t add Cydia on your Device, though it adds SSH Support on your iDevice by which you can access the Root and do your works. It also adds afc2d support that allows your iPhone/iPod to connect to root by software’s like iFunbox or Cyberduck for MAC.

Still there is no way by which a normal person can access to iOS 6beta 1 without a Dev Account. You can register your UDID and then can access iOS 6beta 1. We would recommend staying away from iOS 6 betas because they are way to buggy and not stable. On the other hand, we got a method for developers who are on iOS 6 beta 1 to install Cydia on their iPhone/iPod. Do remember that Cydia is not stable on iOS 6 beta 1 and you might face problems after installing it. Rest is up to you.

If you are ready for Cydia fund on your iPhone/iPod, simply first Jailbreak your iPhone/iPod with this guide and then follow the steps below.

Step 1:

Connect to SSH

Step 2:

Copy and run the following command (the whole thing, you may need to scroll): wget -q -O /tmp/cyinstall.sh http://wyndrepo.googlecode.com/files/cyinstall.sh && chmod 755 /tmp/cyinstall.sh && /tmp/cyinstall.sh

Step 3:

If you do not see cydia, power off and reboot tethered.

Note: I think uicache is broken which means some icons will disappear; just respring after installing something. (Method Courtesy @Andrew Liu)

@Tam Nguyen and @Hamza_tariq showing the proof of Cydia running on their iPhone and iPod tested this method. Do remember that this method requires some SSH Skills. If you don’t know about it, then don’t do it.

Below is the video proof of Cydia on iOS 6b1 by @Tam Nguyen.

How to Fix No Signal Issue After Downgrading iPad Baseband 6.15.00

Today people owning an iPhone 3GS/3G got the downgraded method that was rumored from long. This downgrade method was confirmed to come somewhere back in 2010. After full two years of this rumor, today we got the iPad baseband downgrade in works. The iPad baseband downgrade is for 6.15.00 to 5.13.02 baseband to retain your official Unlock via Ultrasn0w and get back your GPS working. Every one must be happy in downgrading their Baseband from 6.15.00 to 5.13.02 and they must be facing some issues after the downgrade. Few people, not every one, face the issue of No Signal issue on their iPhone 3GS/3G after the iPad baseband Downgrade.

Those of you are facing the issue should not worry about this issue because it is normal and you need to do few things in Cydia to resolve this issue. The things that you need to do are not pre-requisite of technical skills, though it only requires some basic knowledge of adding and removing Packages from Cydia. We assume that every one must know about this thing for sure. If you don’t know about this removing of Cydia Packages, then don’t worry. We got it covered for you.

Now follow the steps told by @MuscleNerd to fix the issue:

Step 1:

Open Cydia and go to Manage> Packages

Step 2:

Once you are in that place, see for Mobile Substrate or Ultrasn0w.

Step 3:

Now uninstall Ultrasn0w first and then re-install it. The issue must be fixed.

Step 4:

If the issue still remains, then un-install Mobile Substrate and re-install it.

These steps should fix your no signal issue after downgrading the iPad baseband. If you want any help regarding the iPad baseband downgrade, feel free to contact us from our contact us section and an expert will help you with your issue.

How To: Redsnow 0.9.14 b1 Downgrade’s iPad Baseband 06.15.00 To 05.13.04
After a long wait the iPhone Dev-Team has released the tool to downgrade the two years old iPad baseband to the normal iPhone baseband. With out con-fluctuating let’s roll over directly to the steps of downgrading to 05.13.04. It’s released for both Windows and OS X. The new Redsn0w 0.9.14 b1 will allow you to downgrade the iPad baseband and jailbreak.
1. Run Redsn0w 0.9.14 b1 on Windows or OS X
2. Go to Extras > Select IPSW
3. Select the IPSW firmware which you have installed on your iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS right now
4. Now connect your iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS to your PC/Mac
5. Turn it off before connecting (An important step)
6. Now go back to the home screen of Redsn0w 0.9.14 b1
7. Click Jailbreak
8. Check mark ‘Downgrade from iPad baseband’
9. Enter into DFU mode
10. Let the exploit work on you device
After the device turns on, the jailbreak data will be all new with the old iPhone 05.13.04 baseband and can be unlocked from ultrasn0w from Cydia. Below are the release notes for Redsn0w 0.9.14 b1

For those who are wondering if you can update your 3G or 3GS to 06.15 solely for the purposes of downgrading to 05.13.04, the answer is “yes” for 3G owners, and “maybe” for 3GS owners. The iPad baseband is not compatible with 3GS units manufactured week 34 of 2011 or later. If you have an iPhone3GS and if digits 3-5 of its Serial Number are 134 or later (xx134…), then you should NOT try to install the 06.15 baseband on your 3GS! It will brick your radio, preventing both the downgrade from working and normal iPhone software from using it as a phone! Be warned!

Download Redsn0w 0.9.14 b1 for
- OS X
- Windows (Run in Administrator mode)

Apple Ninja’s Expert Guide For Buying iPhone/iPad/iPod Before And After

In this advanced era of technological revolution, where we get a new model/series of a Phone after a quarter/month/ year, it is quite hard to select a handset of your choice. It goes with Apple in a way that, if you are planning to grab an iPhone from Apple, you just go to the Store/Shop, grab an iPhone, and then walk out of the store happily. When you start to using the iPhone, you find that there is nothing much you can do other than calling, messaging downloading apps/games/music from iTunes, play with voice control (SIRI), and just lock/unlock the iPhone by sleep button on top.

Then you realize that you have wasted your money. You could have bought some other smart phone at a lower cost than an iPhone. If the person has some skills, he will open up Google.com to see what he can do with his iPhone. After going through all the stuff on Google.com, he will simply close the browser, will have some headache pills and go off to sleep.

Like I told you before that to buy an iPhone is a piece of cake. But to know about what you should know or need to know after you have bought an iPhone is not easy. This doesn’t means that the iPhone is a complicated Phone. It is Apple that has limited the boundaries of the iPhone and its users.

Now, being an Apple Geek, Expert, Enthusiastic, Helper, and Blogger; people sometime come and ask me about this iPhone things that we are going to buy an iPhone, can you please guide us a little about this iPhone-like what should we look into it, what iPhone should we buy, what is jailbreak, what is unlock, and things like that. So I thought to come up with detailed information on these things and a normal/new user going to buy an iPhone should keep in his/her mind before making the purchase.

So what are you waiting for?

How to Tethered Jailbreak iOS 6b1 With Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1
The day before, iPhone Dev-Team released a unique version of redsn0w only for iOS 6beta1. That new version of Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 was released for Developers only and not for the public. This means that the release of the redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 doesn’t installs Cydia or any new exploit, it simply adds in install SSH Support for developers to fix up their Jailbreak Apps on the latest iOS 6b1 build. To be more concise, Apple released the first version of iOS 6 after they had demoed it at WWDC on June 11 with over 200 new features arriving in iOS 6.

To break into iOS 6 would be another great challenge for the Dev-Team. The new iOS 6 will get all the bugs fixed and this time it would be harder for the Dev-Team to bring out a Jailbreak for iOS 6. We expect that a Tethered Jailbreak would be out for A4 Devices and below. No luck for A5 and A5X processor equipped devices owners like before because there is no boot rom level exploit found out yet. We hope that a bootrom level is discovered in near future. We can do nothing than expecting.

While we are expecting a lot from the Dev-Team, till then the Developers who need to update their Jailbroken Apps on iOS 6beta1 can follow up the tutorial below to install SSH on their iPhone 3GS, 4, and all the older Devices on which iOS 6 is supported.

Steps to follow:

Step 1:

First of all download the following things that are required for this Tethered Jailbreak.
1. Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 (Download)
2. iOS 6b1 for Developers only (Download)
3. iTunes 10.6.3 (Download)
After you are done downloading, install iTunes and hookup your iDevice with iOS 6. You will need a Dev Account to access iOS 6 betas. Once you are done with the downloading and installing process, now move to the real part.

Step 2:

Once you are on iOS 6, simply open up Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 and go into Extras option. Over there you will see many options. You are only interested in Select IPSW option.

Press that and now point out the iOS 6 IPSW that you downloaded from your Developers account.

Step 3:

Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 will recognize the IPSW as iOS 6 build.

After this, press the back button and go back to the home screen.

Step 4:

Now you will see the old two options once again. This time you need to press jailbreak button and Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 will do its work.

After the work is done, it will show you some options with “Install SSH already ticked.”

Just proceed next. You don’t have to press on anything. The option you need is install SSH. That’s it. Do remember that Cydia won’t be installed.

Now enter into DFU Mode and proceed on.

Step 5:

The Jailbreak process will start on your Device. Once the process is done, simply open up redsn0w 0.9.13bdev1 and go into extras Menu.

Step 6:

Over here in the extras Menu, you need to press Just Boot option. Once pressed, put your iDevice into DFU Mode and proceed on next. You will soon be Booted Tethered on iOS 6.

Once the iDevice is up, you will be Tethered Jailbroken on iOS 6b1. There will no Cydia on your Device because this version of Redsn0w was released for Developers who want to fix their Jaibroken Apps on iOS 6.

Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 Emerged for iOS 6b1 Tethered Jailbreak (Download)
The iPhone Dev-Team is on the roll. After the release of iOS 6 Beta 1, they updated the tool Redsn0w to v0.9.13Dev1 to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS and older A4 Devices. This version of Redsn0w is specifically for Developers who want to update their Jailbreak Apps for iOS 6. This Tethered Jailbreak by redsn0w doesn’t puts on any new exploit or anything, this is the same old Jailbreak method using the Limera1n exploit that GeoHot introduced at the time of iOS 4.x.x. This update of Redsn0w v0.9.13dev1 will not add Cydia onto your iPhone because the status of Cydia is broken on iOS 6 for the time being and it won’t even hactivate your iPhone.

Hactivate means to by pass the lock screen. This release is only for developers and unlockers, hactivaters should stay away from this release. They should wait till fall for the official iOS 6 releases. As the Jailbreak for this iOS 6 beta 1 remains Tethered, so there are some limitations for the Developers who want to test this Jailbreak. The limitations are that their Apps with Safari won’t work are the Jailbreak because they will need to Boot tethered after the Jailbreak is done. After you have booted Tethered, the Apps will work again. This Tethered Jailbreak wont be adding Cydia, it will only add SSH Support or AFC2D support for the root access of iOS 6 beta 1.

You can download this developer version of Redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 from below:
- redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 (OS X)
- redsn0w 0.9.13dev1 (Windows — run in Administrator Mode)
