...device directly.? When I open my Cydia, I saw this:
SHSH: IOS 5.0.1, 5.1, 5.1.1, 6.1.2
My Cydia update automatically when I open it. Does it support IOS 6.1.2 now?

If it does, I can straight away update my IOS to 6.1.2 with no problem?
Many Thanks Ben,
So I have to update my IOS to 6.1.2 using Itunes. When I straight away to use Itunes to update my IOS, my Jailbreak is straight away deleted?
Then later on use Evasi0n to Jailbreak my device?
 
Rule number one of jailbreaking is to NEVER EVER update iOS while jailbroken. This can potentially brick your device. The reason you cannot just go directly from a jailbroken state on one version to a jailbroken state on another version is because the tools you use to jailbreak different firmwares are different from each other. You have to restore in iTunes to a regular factory state to version 6. Then jailbreak it with the new Evasi0n tool (works great!). If you need to save your list of Cydia packages, use Aptbackup to back them up along with other settings in iTunes and then restore the backup later.

Believe me, if the case was that we could update directly, it would make life very simple. But that's why Cydia always presses installing Software Update Killer, to prevent accodentally rendering your device unusable.

Good luck!l
