How To Jailbreak iOS 6.1 on iPhone 3GS

1. In order to perform the 3gs 6.1 jailbreak you have to use iOS 6.0 firmware file (don’t confuse with 6.0 we really need 6.0 firmware not 6.1 to jailbreak) which should be specific to your device. You can visit our iphone firmware download page and download the file. This is a lrge file approximately 800 mb and it will take much time depending on your internet speed.
2. Now you need the actual jailbreak software which is redsn0w, download redSn0w 0.9.15B3 from our free jailbreak download page and extract the zip file.
3. Turn off your mobile and connect to your computer. Run the redSn0w.exe file you will get the main redsnow screen.
4. In the main redsn0w window go to Extras => Select IPSW redsnow will ask to select ipsw file browse to the file which you saved in step 1 and click Open.
5. Now you have to go back to RedSn0w main window and click Jailbreak, on the next screen redsnow will ask you to put your iphone 3gs in DFU mode, just follow the instructions on the screen and on next screen click next when asked just ensure that Install Cydia is selected and click Next.
