Steps:

1. Start with freshly restored iPhone 4 on 7.1.2.

2. Use iReb to put your iPhone in pwn DFU mode.

3. Open iTunes 11.0, click the "Check" button, hold alt+shift


and click the restore button and choose the Geekgrade IPSW
you downloaded earlier.

4. When the restore is done you will get the "Check" dialogue
and the iPhone should be in iTunes recovery mode.

5. Click cancel when it gives you the "Check" dialogue.

6. Close iTunes.

7. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode (google how).

8. Start the ssh ramdisk loader. When it is done open


WinSCP.

9. In WinSCP for "Host name:" put "localhost" (without


quotes). Port number is 2022. User name is "root" (without
quotes). Password is "alpine" (without quotes).

10. Click Login and click yes to save rsa key. When you are
logged in go to "Commands" > "Open Terminal." Click
"Okay."

11. In the "Enter Command" box enter "mount.sh" (without


quotes). Click "Execute" then "Close."

12. In the right pane of WinSCP click the folder with the up
button until you see the "mnt1" and "mnt2" folders.

13. Navigate to "mnt1" > "Applications." Right-click on


"Setup.app" and choose "Delete." When it is done deleting
close WinSCP and the SSH loader (java window).

14. Hold the Power+Home buttons on your iPhone until it


reboots. Your iPhone should now be in iTunes recovery mode
again.

15. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode again (google how).

16. Open redsn0w and go to "Extras" > "Select IPSW."


Choose the stock 6.0 firmware (not Geekgrade) you
downloaded earlier.

17. Click "Extras" > "Just Boot." Allow the phone to boot into
iOS 6.1.3. Wait a couple minutes, turn phone off.

18. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode again (google how).

19. Open redsn0w and go to "Extras" > "Select IPSW."


Choose the stock 6.0 firmware (not Geekgrade) you
downloaded earlier.

20. Click "back" > "Jailbreak." Make sure that only the box
for cydia is checked.

21. Allow the jailbreak process to complete. Your phone will


be in iTunes recovery mode once again.

22. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode again (google how).

23. Open redsn0w and go to "Extras" > "Select IPSW."


Choose the stock 6.0 firmware (not Geekgrade) you
downloaded earlier.

24. Click "Extras" > "Just Boot."

25. This is a Tethered boot meaning that if you run out of


battery or have to shut the phone off you must follow steps 22
- 24 to boot into the device.

26. Happy jailbreaking everyone.

Note: Always close redsn0w after each step. It is


buggy that way...

Note 2:You will have to disable OTA updates with this


firmware with "Software Update Killer" from Cydia
as soon as you are connected to the internet. It is best
to skip the essential upgrades and immediately
install this first to make sure that the software
update does not complete. After you install "Software
Update Killer" immediately reboot using steps 22-
24... You can delete the partially downloaded
software update using "MobileTerminal" or "iFile"
from "/var/mobile/Media/Downloads." There should
only be one folder (with a long alphanumeric name)
and one file in there. Delete the folder... How to use
MobileTerminal or iFile is beyond the scope of this
guide. Google is your friend..
