Since our how- to article regarding iOS 6.1.3 jailbreak received a lot of comments where users were asking how to fix the exploit failed error in 6.1.3. Since then I have updated that article but still a lot of users are complaining about the same error, so I decided to list down all the possible methods using which this issue can be fixed permanently. The exploit failed 6.1.3 error is very annoying and will ruin the jailbreak process after uploading first stage or during "waiting for reboot". Hit the jump and fix it once and for all.       

 Firstly, if you have a pre-A5 bootrom device such as iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 4, you can jailbreak your device using this guide. 

 Unfortunately, newer bootrom devices such as iPhone 4S,5 and iPad mini are yet to be jailbroken and if you have any of these, you're stuck until a working solution is released for iOS 6.1.3,6.1.4 or 7. 

 How to fix Exploit Failed 6.1.3 error 
exploit failed 6.1.3 redsn0w

 1) Disable your antivirus and firewall software when you are jailbreaking your device with redsn0w. 

2) If your operating system is Windows 7 or 8 or any newer version, Right-click on redsn0w.exe, go to Properties and change the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).

 3) Always run the tool with full Administrator rights.

 4) Always enter into the DFU mode properly. If you don't do this part correctly, the process will not be finished successfully. Here are the directions for getting into DFU mode the right way...   

  • Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. 
  • While still holding power button, press and hold home button for 10 seconds. 
  • Release power button, continue holding the home button for 15 seconds.
5) Many users have also encountered the exploit failed error when rebooting using the Just Boot feature of redsn0w tool. here's how to do it... 

Step 1: Switch on your device. 

Step 2: Sync your device with the latest version of iTunes. After syncing successfully, switch it off and enter into DFU mode using the instructions given above. 

Step 3: Launch redsn0w and select Extras > Select IPSW.

Step 4: Browse for iOS 6.0 firmware only (NOT iOS 6.1.3). Select Just Boot once again enter into DFU mode.

5) If you have tried all the possible methods listed above and still you're not able to jailbreak your device successfully then I recommend using a new USB cable or using a different laptop or computer altogether.
