There isn’t currently a standalone tool available for download, so you will have to perform a tethered jailbreak with a tool like RedSn0w, before converting to an untethered jailbreak. P0sixspwn 1.4 can be found right now on Cydia’s default repo as an installable package. The good news is that you can then use p0sixspwn to enjoy the same untethered jailbreak that was available for iOS 6.1.3 through iOS 6.1.5. If you’re currently using an iPhone 3GS or a 4th generation iPod touch running iOS 6.1.x, it’s highly recommended that you update to iOS 6.1.6, and benefit from Apple’s SSL fix. The firmware update was pushed out as a part of Apple’s SSL security fix, which also ushered in iOS 7.0.6 for more recent devices. iOS 6.1.6 was released solely for the iPhone 3GS and the iPod touch 4th generation.
P0sixspwn-the jailbreak tool created by the tandem of iH8sn0w and new Apple employee Winocm-has been updated to support the just-released iOS 6.1.6 for an untethered jailbreak.
