* Java Runtime Environment (32 bit, do not install 64 bit
over the 32 bit version because it will overwrite certain library
files and will cause java applications to not work properly)
* Java Development Kit
* Geekgrade iOS 6.1.3 IPSW -
[Link]
* iOS Firmware 6.0 Stock IPSW -
[Link]
(choose 6.0 for your device)
* Redsn0w (latest version) -
[Link]
* iReb (latest version) - [Link]
2.0/...97/[Link]
* iPhone 4 ssh ramdisk loader -
[Link]
* iTunes 11.0 (It must be 11.0, the first version 11 released) -
[Link]
* WinSCP (latest version) -

Steps:
1. Start with freshly restored iPhone 4 on 7.1.2.
2. Use iReb to put your iPhone in pwn DFU mode.
3. Open iTunes 11.0, click the "Check" button, hold alt+shift
and click the restore button and choose the Geekgrade IPSW
you downloaded earlier.
4. When the restore is done you will get the "Check" dialogue
and the iPhone should be in iTunes recovery mode.
5. Click cancel when it gives you the "Check" dialogue.
6. Close iTunes.
7. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode (google how).
8. Start the ssh ramdisk loader. When it is done open WinSCP.
9. In WinSCP for "Host name:" put "localhost" (without
quotes). Port number is 2022. User name is "root" (without
quotes). Password is "alpine" (without quotes).
10. Click Login and click yes to save rsa key. When you are
logged in go to "Commands" > "Open Terminal." Click "Okay."
11. In the "Enter Command" box enter "[Link]" (without
quotes). Click "Execute" then "Close."
12. In the right pane of WinSCP click the folder with the up
button until you see the "mnt1" and "mnt2" folders.
13. Navigate to "mnt1" > "Applications." Right-click on
"[Link]" and choose "Delete." When it is done deleting
close WinSCP and the SSH loader (java window).
14. Hold the Power+Home buttons on your iPhone until it
reboots. Your iPhone should now be in iTunes recovery mode
again.
15. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode again (google how).
16. Open redsn0w and go to "Extras" > "Select IPSW." Choose
the stock 6.0 firmware (not Geekgrade) you downloaded
earlier.
17. Click "Extras" > "Just Boot." Allow the phone to boot into
iOS 6.1.3. Wait a couple minutes, turn phone off.
18. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode again (google how).
19. Open redsn0w and go to "Extras" > "Select IPSW." Choose
the stock 6.0 firmware (not Geekgrade) you downloaded
earlier.
20. Click "back" > "Jailbreak." Make sure that only the box for
cydia is checked.
21. Allow the jailbreak process to complete. Your phone will be
in iTunes recovery mode once again.
22. Put iPhone in normal DFU mode again (google how).
23. Open redsn0w and go to "Extras" > "Select IPSW." Choose
the stock 6.0 firmware (not Geekgrade) you downloaded
earlier.
24. Click "Extras" > "Just Boot."
25. This is a Tethered boot meaning that if you run out of
battery or have to shut the phone off you must follow steps 22 -
24 to boot into the device.
26. Happy jailbreaking everyone.
Note: Always close redsn0w after each step. It is buggy
that way...
Note 2:You will have to disable OTA updates with this
firmware with "Software Update Killer" from Cydia as
soon as you are connected to the internet. It is best to
skip the essential upgrades and immediately install
this first to make sure that the software update does
not complete. After you install "Software Update
Killer" immediately reboot using steps 22-24... You
can delete the partially downloaded software update
using "MobileTerminal" or "iFile" from
"/var/mobile/Media/Downloads." There should only
be one folder (with a long alphanumeric name) and
one file in there. Delete the folder... How to use
MobileTerminal or iFile is beyond the scope of this
guide. Google is your friend..
