Step 2: Restore your device to iOS 5 Beta 6 firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded.
Step 3: Start Redsn0w and point it to the iOS 5 Beta 6 .ipsw firmware file you downloaded earlier.
Step 4: Select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”.
Step 5: In this step make sure that your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.
Step 6: Now you’ll be instructed to put your iOS Device into DFU Mode. Follow the on screen instructions.

Booting in tethered mode:
Now from here onwards, whenever you want to do anything related to jailbreak like SSHing into your device, or running Cydia, you must first run your device in the so called “jailbroken state” on every reboot by using “Just boot tethered right now” option in Redsn0w 0.9.8 b6.
