Dev iPhone

iOS 6 will be made publically available in fall. However, the developers are known to get early access to the firmware, and so if you are a developer you can jailbreak the new iOS and test it.Apple has already released two betas of the latest firmware and iH8sn0w’s status a few days ago indicate that a third beta is along the way. This guide will show you how to jailbreak using redsn0w 0.9.13dev2, it is not an untethered jailbreak, and it’s not compatible with the latestfirmware update, which is why when jailbreaking your iOS device on iOS 6 beta 2 you will need to point to the previous beta firmware. Just read on and you will understand how to go ahead with it.

Step 1: Download the iOS 6 Beta 2.

Step 2: Place Device in the DFU mode. To do this, hold down the Home + Power buttons on the device for 10 seconds simultaneously. Now released the Power button without releasing the Home button. Continue holding the Home button for 10 seconds. Now release the Home button and you’ll be in DFU mode.

Step 3: Download

Step 4: Run redsn0w.

Step 5: Go to Extras > Select IPSW > and point to the iOS 6 beta 1 firmware (download from these links):

Step 6: Go back to the main menu and make sure Install SSH is checked and then just proceed with the jailbreak.

Step 7: After that’s done, put the device back in DFU mode, go to extras, select IPSW, and again point to the iOS 6 beta 1 firmware.

That’s it. Your device is now jailbroken tethered on iOS 6 beta 2. There would be no Cydia installed. We will have a separate tutorial for that.

Do note that only developers can install the iOS 6 beta 2 firmware, and that iOS 6 beta 1 will be required for the jailbreak. It is only compatible with A4 devices such as the iPhone 4, 3GS, and the iPod Touch 4G. Furthermore, those who are on untethered jailbreak using iOS 5.1.1 should stay away as this new firmware will patch Pod2g’s jailbreak exploits. Unlockers should stay away as well as it is going to upgrade the baseband when attempting to upgrade via iTunes. Feel free to leave your comments!
