Apple seeded its fifth beta of iOS 6.1 to developers on Saturday. Even though it happened recently you can already jailbreak iOS 6.1 beta 5 devices, particular models of iPhone and iPod touch. Not everyone can perform this jailbreak so you must first be sure 100% that you are eligible. So what requirements should you meet? You should really want to jailbreak your gadget and you should understand that this process is tethered [in other words it requires tethered boot on every reboot]. Or you can wait for iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak from evad3rs team. Here comes an instruction that will help all developers with iPhone 4 and 3GS and iPod touch 4G to jailbreak iOS 6.1 beta 5 with Redsn0w 0.9.15b3. This guide is not meant for owners of iPhone who depend on Ultrasn0w unlock for iOS 6.0.1 and users of iPad, iPod touch and iPhone models that have not been mentioned above. You perform this jailbreak at your own risk, so think twice before starting.
