Sn0wbreeze is a jailbreaking tool that allows you to jailbreak many of the models of the iPhone without much hassle. The only requirement for you to be able to jailbreak your iPhone using Sn0wbreeze is that your iPhone must be running a pre-A4 chipset. If you are not sure what you are running, you can take a look at Apple’s specifications list to find out the chip your iPhone uses.

Once you have confirmed that you do run pre-A4 device, you can use the Sn0wbreeze tool to get your iPhone jailbroken. The tool works fine on a Windows computer so that is what we recommend you to use to successfully jailbreak your device.

Since the tool uses .NET framework, you are going to need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your computer. If you do not already have it, please use this link to get it installed on your computer and then jump onto the following steps to start jailbreaking your device.

How to Jailbreak an iPhone using Sn0wbreeze?

1. Head over to the Sn0wbreeze download page and download the tool to your computer. Also, download and save the iOS 6.1.3 file on your computer. You can Google it for your specific model of the iPhone.

2. Right-click on the downloaded archive file and select Extract here to extract the actual app out of the zipped archive.

3. When the files are extracted, double-click on the Sn0wbreeze executable and the app will launch.
