Jailbreak First’s complete iOS 6, 6.0 UnTethered Jailbreak Tutorial guide
To assit you in jailbreaking, we created this simple and easy to understand reference guide for iOS 6, which will be continuously updated with future releases of iOS and new jailbreak utilities.
UnTethered Jailbreaks versus Tethered Jailbreaks
There are essentially two variations of jailbreaks called UnTethered and Tethered. A Tethered jailbreak differs from an UnTethered jailbreak in the sense that it relies on the assistance of a computer to boot back into its fully-functional jailbroken state. However, while developed less often, UnTethered jailbreaks allow iOS-based devices to successfully reboot without relying on a jailbreak utility.
Currently, there isn’t an UnTethered solution for 6.0 - the latest Untethered jailbreak is available for iDevices on iOS 5.1.1 through a utility by the name of Absinthe v2.
As of now, only A4-based devices and the iPhone 3Gs can be jailbroken on iOS 6.0 using the latest Tethered version of Redsn0w from the iPhone Dev Team.
