iOS 6.1.3 and 6.1.5 untethered packages have been released for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4th Generation through Cydia. Perform a tethered jailbreak on your pre-A5 device, and install the package p0sixspwn in Cydia. A5+ devices will have a utility pushed out by @iH8Sn0w by Christmas Day

A5+ users on iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 will benefit from @iH8Sn0w's jailbreak utility first if you have a Mac or a Mac VM. Windows users will have to wait several days after. Will update when each are released.

Looks like the 6.1.3-5 A5 JB is here for Macs, but not PCs - via P0sixspwn.

Windows will be released in the following days as iH8Sn0w said.

Am I reading this right or did a Jail Break come out for me?

Cool just have to find the how to guide.

JUNKIE · Dec 30, 2013

I'm confused, so not only can I jail break 6.1.3 on my 4s but I can do a jail break for ios7 on it if I update it?

Exactly. Though none of the tweaks in Cydia are ready for the iOS7 jailbreak yet. So you'd have nothing really to 'play with' on iOS7. Where jailbreaking in 6.1.3 opens you up to a world of things you can use immediately with no problems. Just remember.. once you update to iOS7 - you can NEVER go back to 6.1.3 again.

The 6.1.3-6.1.5 jailbreak was only a real target as an end-game jailbreak for the new bootrom 3GS on 6.1.3, and the iPod Touch on 6.1.5. iPhone 4 users with iOS 6 blobs can also choose to use the 6.1.3 jailbreak if they did not save blobs for a working Evasi0n iOS.

On A5+ devices yes. Remember that the iPhone 4 is the last device to openly support downgrades back to iOS 6 in the iOS 7 supported string of devices, so readers on the iPhone 4 on iOS 7, you can downgrade if and only if you have blobs. All other users, you cannot downgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 6.

The tool itself shouldn't be hard to navigate. Remember that p0sixspwn is a userland jailbreak, just like Absinthe, Evasi0n, JailbreakMe.com, and SpiritJB, so following on-screen instructions will do the trick. It's not as time consuming or lengthy in steps as say Sn0wBreeze, which requires you to download the IPSW, have it customized, then restored using iTunes, then booting tethered afterwards, etc. I haven't had the chance to get my Macbook back to test it out so I can test it out with my iPod Touch 4th gen, but it should work fine considering @iH8Sn0w and @winocm are vigilant in pressing out issues at the speed of light as shown by the p0sixspwn untether package in Cydia on release day, which went through more updates than Evasi0n6 did in its entire lifetime, all within 6-8 hours of the p0sixspwn release.

Hi, please clarify for me this new jailbreak. I have iPhone 5 on 6.12 jailbroken. Do I need to re-jailbreak with Evasion 7? What will it do? Thanks.

They're on completely different iOS thresholds. You have to restore to iOS 7 before you can use a jailbreak that only works on iOS 7...

Thanks, Willerz2. I read more the Evasion 7 Jailbreak discussion thread & I understood more the meaning of things. There are lots of tweaks that I use so I will just wait.
