With each iOS released on the market, even if it is designed for developer use only, people still look forward to find a proper jailbreak tool in order to jailbreak their devices. With a new iOS released, and namely the iOS 6.0.1, developers already launched a jailbreak tool to perform jailbreak 6.0.1 untethered.
In case you do not know what Redsnow is, let me give you a hint. Redsnow has become quite a popular tool among jailbreakers because it offers a quick support for jailbreaking both on Windows and on Mac. This amazing tool has gained its popularity during time because it offers a quick and easy manner to gain full control over your device. The bad news is the fact that Redsnow performs jailbreak only on those devices using Limera1n exploit and namely all A4-based devices or lower. If you have a new device such as iPhone 5 or iPad 4, you need to wait a little bit longer before you can perform jailbreak on it.
To make things clear, Rednsow only performs untethered jailbreak on older bootrom such as iPhone 3GS. For the rest of devices running on iOS 6.0.1, you have available only a tethered-boot version. This means that you will need to boot your device in a tethered mode each time it runs out of battery or if you accidentally turn it off. It could be quite annoying at some point, but if you really want to have freedom on your device, to be able to install various third party apps and to have Cydia Store available, I am sure that a tethered jailbreak will be enough for now.
When you boot tethered it means that you need to reopen Redsnow, to go to Extras and then to click on the Just Boot option. You need to perform these three steps each time you shut down your device. So, unless you want to boot tethered several times, I would advise you to wait until an untethered version appears on the market. Moreover, jailbreak developers suggest the fact that as soon as iOS 6.1 is available for public use, you will be able to jailbreak it quickly. With a small update, Redsnow will also perform tethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak and perhaps, jailbreak iOS 6.1 untethered even sooner.
