Open RedSn0w and click browse. Locate the file you updated your phone with. Click next and check the "Cydia" box. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Wait for your Iphone to restart

After iPhone restarts, open Cydia, after you have connected the iPhone to the internet on wifi. Let it refresh and tap Manage. Tap sources. Add the source - repo666.ultrasn0w.com

Warnings

  • Backup phone before restoring
  • Take your time
  • Do this at your own risk
  • I assume no responsibility if you do something wrong and break you iPhone

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari.
