The good news about this new release is that the utility will perform an untethered jailbreak iPhone 4S and 4 iOS 6.0.1, which means you can reboot the device without having to have it tethered to your computer.

Up until now, there was no other solution but use a beta version of FastSn0w, which let’s be honest, wasn’t very stable.

To Jailbreak and Unlock your iPhone visit the website www.Unlock-Jailbreak.net

All we know is that it works with the jailbreak and unlock iPhone 4S and 4 3G, 3GS, and iPhone running iOS 6.0.1. Even better, unlike FastSn0w, you won’t need to have your 42b3 SHSH blobs saved in order for Unlock-Jailbreak.net to work. One thing is for sure, this version of Unlock-Jailbreak.net will unlock your iPhone to be able to use it on any GSM network worldwide.

The jailbreak is untethered and doesn’t need iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs to be saved like iPhone Dev Team’s Redsn0w 0.9.7, which is currently available for beta testing.

Unlock-Jailbreak.net works for iOS 6.0.1. No activation is needed. You have to first activate your iPhone before using it. But, please note that Unlock-Jailbreak.net from Unlock-Jailbreak.net is just a unlock jailbreak solution for iPhone 4S and 4/3Gs iOS 6.0.1. If you’re using iPhone 4S and 4/3GS and rely on software unlocking , now you can update to iOS 6.0.1 and use Unlock-Jailbreak.net to Unlock and Jailbreak.

Until today, Unlock-Jailbreak.net unlock and jailbreak iPhone iOS 6.0.1 was permanent unlock, allowing users to unlcok and jailbreak their iPhones once, and stay jailbroken until a software restore or update. For iOS 6.0.1 this has changed, and if you jailbreak your iPhone 4S and 4 and 3Gs iOS 6.0.1 with Unlock-Jailbreak.net, your untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and 4/3Gs will be permanent. This is called a unthetered permanent jailbreak and it’s the only one tool available.

If you use the Unlock-Jailbreak.net tool to unlock iPhone 4S and 4 iOS 6.0.1 and 3Gs iOS 6.0.1 (so you can use it with any carrier), first you need to run the jailbreak provided by Unlock-Jailbreak.net. One, the tool itself will work on iOS 6.0.1 and two if you update to the newer versions of the baseband software in 6.1, then it might never unlock your iPhone. If you want a carrier unlock, or if you think you might ever want to unlock your iPhone, you should stay away from 6.1 iOS updates that will be released this year and wait until one of the teams supplies a tool to create custom IPSW files and unlock your iDevice. This will give your phone all the cool stuff of iOS 6.0.1 and keep the unlocked software on your iPhone. If you update to 6.1 all the jailbreak software will be erased from you iPhone including Unlock-Jailbreak.net.
