NEW Jailbreak 6.1.2 Untethered iOS iPhone 5,4S,4,3Gs,iPod Touch 5,4 & iPad Mini,4,3,2

Shortly after Apple released iOS 6.1.2 earlier today, the evad3rs released evasi0n v1.4 to Jailbreak the new firmware. The latest version of evasi0n can now successfully Jailbreak all iOS 6 firmwares, including 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, 6.1.1 and, now, iOS 6.1.2! Like with older versions of evasi0n, 1.4 includes support for all iDevices – the list is as follows: the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3GS, iPad mini, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPod touch 5^th generation and the iPod touch 4^th generation.
First, before proceeding, you will need the following:

• One of the iDevices listed above running any firmware from iOS 6 through 6.1.2 that hasn’t been updated via Apple’s over the air (OTA) update feature. If you did restore using the feature or you wish to update to 6.1.2, simply back up your device using iTunes, restore to the latest iOS 6.1.2 firmware, continue with this tutorial to successfully Jailbreak and restore from your iTunes backup to retrieve all personal data.
• Evasi0n version 1.4 (available in the download section below)

Steps for Windows and Mac OS X users:
1. Open the evasi0n utility after downloading it and place the application in an easy-to-access location on your computer to simply the process – preferably your desktop.

• If your computer is powered by Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, set the compatibility mode of evasi0n to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and run the tool as an administrator by right clicking.

2. Connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer via a standard Apple 30-pin or lightning USB cable and click the Jailbreak button.
3. Ensure that your iOS-based device remains connected to your computer throughout the entire Jailbreak process and refrain from touching your device’s physical buttons.
4. Unlock your iDevice when prompted – this step is explained in great detail in the video embedded above – and tap the Jailbreak icon only once.

• Note: If you have a security lock screen passcode set, you must first remove it before you can complete the Jailbreak.
• Note 2: While the first few automated steps can certainly take longer to complete than the Jailbreak demonstrated  in the embedded video, a simple restore can drastically reduce the amount of time required to Jailbreak and eliminate your chances of encountering issues.

Congratulations, once your device reboots, you will have an Untethered Jailbreak on iOS 6.1.2!
Untethered: Your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is Untethered, meaning you won’t be required to connect to a computer and re-run the jailbreak utility every time you wish to reboot – simply power your device off and back on again.

How to Repair Bad Sectors

Windows 7 and Windows XP

Bad sectors are sections of your computer's hard drive that have been damaged, and have lost the ability to save and store your data. In most cases, bad sectors are the result of internal physical damage in your computer, such as magnetic disk failure, and can sometimes corrupt your saved data. Bad sectors are usually indicated by grinding or chugging noises inside of your computer or from error messages that inform you that data cannot be saved to your disk drive. To repair bad sectors on a Windows operating system, you can run your computer through an automatic error-check and repair process. If you have a Macintosh computer, you can re-install the affected sections of your operating system (OS) that contains the bad sectors, or you can choose to re-install the entire OS completely.   

1.Close any open files on the affected disk drive. In order for the repair process to work, you must close any programs, applications, and files saved or stored on the faulty disk drive.

2. Open your Start menu. The Start menu button is located in the bottom-left corner of your Windows desktop and may appear in the form of the Windows logo if you use Windows 7.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Select "Computer" from the Start menu. If you use Windows XP, this option may read as "My Computer."
