iphone 5 6.1.2 jailbreak question

[tyler deah]

i got a iphone 5 on 6.1.2 i had it jailbroken and yesterday my phone froze and i reboot it and cydia icon was gone. almost like the phones not jailbroken anymore. I went to rejailbreak it but cydia app dont come up. anyone else have this problem or not how to get it to work. i dont want to update unless theres a jailbreak but i couldnt find one. Anyone got any ideas.

Did you install openSSH? If so you may be able to manually go in and reinstall Cydia.

i did not install openSSH. anyone no if theres another way to jailbreak the iphone 5? im out of ideas and have been looking for days for a solution.

No, evasi0n is the only tool for the iPhone 5. Without a way to manually install Cydia, I don't think there is much anyone can do.

i went threw with ifunbox and deleted everything involving cydia. Now when i go to jailbreak it says error the phone is semi tethered.

Yeah, I think you're stuck. Maybe someone can come up with some crazy way to fix it, but it looks like a restore may have to be done.

I mean, you could stay like this. Your phone seems to be functioning properly (aside from the lack of Cydia). Your choice.

i think im forced to update, safari wont load anymore more neither do emails a couple people had the same problem but no luck. I think my only option is to go to apple and try getting another phone like i have previously and hopefully it wont be updated again. thanks for the help tho.

You're welcome. Hopefully this works out for you.

If you take your phone in with your current state, you won't get a replacement. You'll have to restore, find a hardware problem, and get it replaced before the local shop has 6.1.3 phones in stock.
