Sn0wbreeze has finally been updated to v2.9.7, bringing in support for iOS 6 / iOS 6.0.1 on Pre-A5 powered devices such as the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the 4th-gen iPod touch.

Follow the steps below for achieving a tethered jailbreak on iOS 6.0.1 using the popular restore based Sn0wbreeze jailbreak tool for Windows. Before continuing remember that a jailbreak of a tethered nature means that the device will need to be connected to the computer and booted into a jailbreak state every time it is hard booted or powered down for whatever reason.

Alternatively, you can also use iPhone Dev Team’s Redsn0w to jailbreak 6.0.1 on your A4 powered iPhone and iPod touch.

Supported Devices: As mentioned above, this jailbreak is compatible with pre-A5 powered iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G only. it will NOT work on any of the newer devices. It is also limited to tethered-boot for now.

How-to jailbreak iOS 6.0.1:


Step 1: Download the latest version of Sn0wbreeze (from here) for Windows and save the file in a familiar location on your machine. Download iOS 6.0.1 for your device.

Step 2: Connect the relevant iOS device to the computer with the supplied USB cable.

Step 3: Run the Sn0wbreeze application on your Windows PC.






So there you have it, a tethered iOS 6.0.1 jailbreak using the powerful and popular Sn0wbreeze tool. Remember that after the device has been booted using iBooty, running Cydia for the first time could take a little bit of time as it sets up its file system and permissions as well as loading all the required information from the stock repositories. All future loadings of Cydia should feel a lot snappier. Due to the tethered nature of the jailbreak, it is necessary to go through the iBooty process every time the device is hard booted or powered down.
