    • iTunes will now prompt you to select your desired IPSW file.
    • Select the custom built firmware file which Sn0wbreeze created in Step 08 and let iTunes restore it to your device.
      -
11. Sn0wbreeze will also create an additional folder on your desktop called iBooty. This is required to boot your device in tethered jailbreak mode in order to run apps and tweaks from Cydia.
    
    • Start iBooty and select the device you want to boot into tethered mode
    • Hit the Start button.
    • follow the onscreen instructions on iBooty to enter Pwned DFU mode on your device.
    • Once you are in DFU mode, iBooty will automatically boot your device into tethered jailbreak mode.
      -

Now you will be able to run Cydia and install your favorite apps and tweaks. Keep in mind that after you boot into your device using iBooty for the first time, Cydia may take some time to set up its file system and permissions as well as load the files it requires from its stock repositories. Also keep in mind that iBooty will be required every time you reboot or switch on your device.

You may want to hold on until a untethered jailbreak is released for uninterrupted usage.
