How To Jailbreak Your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch Running iOS 6.1.2
As we are all probably aware by now Apple recently released their firmware update iOS 6.1.2 which has apparently fixed a lot of the small issues people where having with their devices. iOS 6.1.2 fixes an Exchange calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life. The release of the new firmware was quickly followed by news that the new jailbreak tool from the Evad3rs, evasi0n would support the firmware update. Evasi0n 1.4 has now been released with full support for iOS 6.1.2 users. If you have updated your device to the new firmware and are wanting to jailbreak again then you are going to need to run the new version of evasi0n which can be downloaded from our downloads hub or from one of the supported links below.

- Finding offsets
- Patching kernel
- Cleaning up!
- Done! Continuing boot
Once complete, you will be taken to the lock screen which indicates that the jailbreak process is complete! Simply slide to unlock your phone and hey presto, there is Cydia.
