Can you upgrade an iPhone 5 from iOS 6.0.2 to 6.1.2 as of April 4, 2013?

Hi,

I just received a replacement iPhone 5 that is on iOS 6.0.2. Is there anyway to update it to 6.1.2? My backup is from 6.1.1 and i would like to restore it and be able to still jailbreak. I read other posts that you were not able to but I wanted to check if anything has changed as of April 5, 2013.

Thanks in advance.

Can't be done because Apple is only signing 6.1.3 now.

Nope, you are stuck on 6.0.2 if you want to jailbreak

A whole back, someone wrote this, not sure if it works or not

locate your backup on your computer.
For Windows, it's at "C:/Documents and Settings/[USERNAME]/Application Data/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup". For Mac, it's "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
Locate your latest backup and search for the info.plist file. Edit it with a text editor and look for this string: <key>Product Version</key>
Change 6.1.2 to 6.0.2 and save.
You can now restore to this backup on 6.0.2.
