Hi,

I decided to dust off my old iphone and use it for internet browsing using WiFi. I would like to have the iOS 6.1 on it as most apps i try to install tell me I need iOS 6 or above.

Details of my iPhone

Model : 3GS
iOS - 5.0.1 (9A405)
Modem Firmware - 05.11.07

It is jailbroken and unlocked at the moment with cydia installed.

I understand that there is a new tool named Evasi0n which can jailbreak the iOS 6.1. Although I am not exactly sure how to install the iOS 6.1 using iTunes and doing the whole jailbreaking process. I don't care about the unlocking part as I will never use it to make phone calls, just play with apps on WiFi.

Any help regarding how to go about this process will be really appreciated.

Thanks!
~Nick
