Step-18: You will be prompted to plug the iOS device to the computer and switch it off
again. Follow the instructions and click on the Next button to move to the next screen

exploit. The iOS device will reboot and a pineapple logo will appear, indicating a
tethered boot
Step-21: Wait until the process is completed, you should see the Lock screen on your
iOS device when it is completed
The iOS device has now been successfully jailbroken and you should see Cydia on the
Home screen. In case you do not find it on the Home screen, search for it using Spotlight.
How to install p0sixspwn 1.4-1
Once the device is jailbroken, launch Cydia and install p0sixspwn 1.4 package to convert
the tethered jailbreak into an untethered jailbreak.
Besides, renowned iOS hacker iH8sn0w has noted that the standalone p0sixspwn
jailbreak tool is not a priority. So as of now this is the only way to jailbreak iPhoen 3GS
and iPod touch 4G running iOS 6.1.6.
