Jailbreak iOS 6.1.2 with Evasi0n 1.4

Almost immediately after iOS 6.1.2 was released with a few bug fixes for the Microsoft Exchange data use problem, a new version of the Evasi0n jailbreak utility came out to handle any devices that were upgraded to 6.1.2. It?s still the same Evasi0n jailbreaking experience, untethered and all. Like prior versions of Evasion, the following devices running iOS 6.1.2 are supported: iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, and iPad mini, and the 4th and 5th generations of iPod touch.

Jailbreaking iOS 6.1.2

If you used evasion with iOS 6.1 when it first came out you will be familiar with the process already. The procedure is identical regardless of using an iPhone, iPad, or Windows or Mac.

       Update to iOS 6.1.2 through OTA or IPSW if you haven?t done so already, either method works

        Back up your iOS device with iTunes or iCloud ? this is important because it allows you to unjailbreak without losing any of your files or personal data

        Download Evasi0n 1.4 (Mac OS X) (Windows) and unzip it

         Temporarily turn off the passcode to prevent any conflicts by going to Settings > General > Passcode Lock

         Launch Evasi0n (right-click and Open in OS X, run as Administrator in Windows) and connect the iOS device to the computer using the standard USB cable

         When your device is recognized, click on ?Jailbreak? to begin, the entire process takes a minute or two and is generally very fast

         Towards the end of the progress indicator, you will be told to find and tap the ?Jailbreak? icon on the iOS home screen, do that when necessary

         The device will reboot itself and will be jailbroken, find the brown Cydia icon on the home screen and launch it

         Select either ?User? or ?Hacker? from the Cydia choices and be on your way
