P0sixspwn has been updated with the Untethered Jailbreak iOS 6.1.6

P0sixspwn, the Cydia package , has been updated, and this time hackers iH8sn0w and Winocm offer an untethered jailbreak version of iOS 6.1.6 , to please those users who still enjoy their devices without iOS 7. This Cydia package converts the tethered jailbreak to an untethered one, allowing the user to restart their device without problems and, of course, maintaining all its functionality.

This new version of iOS , released by Apple for both the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4G , is unsuitable for running iOS 7 on both devices . Therefore, the recent update addresses security vulnerabilities in SSL connections, a flaw that apparently compromises the operating system's security when connecting to secure websites, making the iOS 6.1.6 update almost essential for our devices.

However, it is necessary to emphasize that Jailbreak 6.1.6 is fully updatable via iTunes , and if you wish to perform a Tethered Jailbreak (you can do so using Redsn0w ), and then convert it to Untethered by simply installing the p0sixpwn package in Cydia.

On the other hand, if you want to fix the bugs without updating to the released version, you only need to install the Cydia package that Ryan Petrich has published, which promises to fix the security flaw without requiring an update to iOS 6.1.6. The package is called SSLPatch , and you can find it in Ryan Petrich's repository.
