How to Use the Evasi0n iOS 6.1 Jailbreak
The following ten steps will help you use evasi0n to jailbreak the iPhone, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch. check out the step-by-step instructions below, or watch our two-minute How to Jailbreak the iPhone 5 video below.
Step 1. Plug your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into your computer and perform a backup in iTunes. Click on “Back Up Now” in iTunes under the iPhone tab.
Make a backup before using the evasi0n jailbreak tool.
Step 2. Download the evasi0n iOS 6.1 jailbreak tool for Mac, Windows or Linux and install. this will unzip the evasi0n tool and open a folder with three files. If the links up top don’t work, scroll down to find mirrors.
Unzip the evasi0n tool to get started.
Step 3. The recommended step is to restore the iPhone in iTunes and set up as a new phone to avoid any bugs, but users are not required to do this.
Step 4. Remove a Passcode if you have one on your iPhone. This is required for the jailbreak to work, and you can re-enable after the iOS 6.1 jailbreak is complete.
Tap on Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock – Enter code -> turn Passcode Off -> Enter Passcode.
Step 5. With the iPhone plugged in launch the evasi0n app.
Launch the evasi0n iOS 6.1 jailbreak tool and click Jailbreak.
Step 6. Click Jailbreak. After this, do not touch the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch until instructed to do so.
Step 7. Wait while the iPhone reboots as part of the evasi0n jailbreak. This may happen several times, so users should wait until the jailbreak completes to disconnect the iPhone.
When prompted, unlock the iPhone.
Step 8. When prompted unlock the iPhone or iPad and tap on the Jailbreak icon. Tap once, do not unplug the device or try tapping it a second time.
Tap Jailbreak to complete the evasi0n jailbreak.
Step 9. The evasi0n iOS 6.1 jailbreak tool will inject the final jailbreak data.
The evasi0n iOS 6.1 jailbreak is complete.
Step 10. When the evasi0n iOS 6.1 jailbreak tool says, “Jailbreak complete!” the jailbreak process is over, but the phone may restart several times to finish the process.
Wait for the evasi0n jailbreak to finish on the iPhone.
Setting up Cydia on iOS 6.1
With the iOS 6.1 jailbreak complete, find the Cydia icon and tap on it once. The app will launch and initialize Cydia. The App will then restart. The iPhone or iPad may also restart during this process.
Cydia will prepare the filesystem before you can use it.
When complete, tap on Cydia and select your user type. Now you can go looking for the best iOS 6.1 jailbreak apps.
Stay tuned for the latest iOS 6.1 jailbreak news.

Did you do a full restore before the jailbreak? If not might be worth a try.

Cydia servers must be overloaded currently, seems only natural with millions of us trying to access at the same time.
As to JBing OTA updated systems, evasi0n team explicitly recommended against it, so I am certainly going to go the backup->clean restore->jailbreak->restore backup route.

I’ve got the same problem as some other users above. Jailbreak works fine up to the step when I have to unlock my screen and tap the jailbreak icon. But there is no icon at all. I’ve tried it several times, different download mirrors, always the same result – no icon to tap on. Did anybody find a solution to fix the problem?
