Jailbreak update for iOS 6.1.1 for iPhone 4/4s
The evad3rs team has released an update for its evasi0n iOS 6.x jailbreak tool in order to add support for iOS 6.1.1 on iPhone 4S handsets. At the time of writing, iOS 6.1.1 is only available officially for the iPhone 4S. It was released early by Apple after reports of bugs with iOS 6.1 that seemed to affect iPhone 4S handsets more than other devices. Vodafone in the UK and 3 in Austria had encouraged users to hold off iOS 6.1, but Vodafone then encouraged its iPhone 4S users to get the iOS 6.1.1 when it became available.
The updated evasi0n v1.3 now adds support for the iPhone 4S model, which is not much of a surprise as it had already been confirmed that the bugs exploited by evasiOn in iOS 6.0-6.1 were unfixed when Apple pushed out iOS 6.1.1 to developers to test.
In the week or so that evasi0n has been out, more than 7 million devices - including iPhone 5 and iPad mini - have been jailbroken, allowing for non-approved apps and code to run on the devices. At this time, do not... I say again DO NOT upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 if you want to keep your device jailbroken.

How to Jailbreak your iPhone 4/4S using Evasi0n
This tutorial is for the iPhone 4 and 4S only, because, as of now, the iPhone 4 and 4S are the only devices to have received an iOS 6.1.1 update. This update is said to fix 3G performance problems which resulted in battery life issues. If you’re not experiencing any noticeable issues, it’s perfectly fine to hold off on updating and stay on your current firmware, as iOS 6.1.1 doesn’t add any new features to the puzzle.

Tap this jailbreak icon only once, and then you will notice a black page load and then go away. This is perfectly normal, just wait and be patient.
Step 3: Evasi0n will eventually report that the jailbreak process is complete. At that point, you may click the Exit button on the evasi0n app to close the app. the rest of the process focuses solely on your iPhone.
