iOS 7 Jailbreak for iPhone 4 Successful, But Cydia MIA
The iPhone 4 is one of the last devices that hackers can jailbreak quickly and the iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone 4 is already here, at least for Jailbreak developers and tinkerers.
This iPhone 4 iOS 7 jailbreak is available from OpenSn0w, which offers an iOS 7 jailbreak tool for windows users to free up the iPhone 4.
The iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone 4 is not ready for the average jailbreak user yet as it is a tethered jailbreak. This means users will need to have the iPhone 4 plugged in to a computer any time it reboots to avoid losing functionality.
Another limiting factor is that there is no support for Cydia. According to Robert A. Peterson, this is mainly useful for Jailbreak developers.
@zKnOkerz789 Yes. But it’s tethered, only for iPhone 4, and almost everything (including Cydia) is broken. More useful for tweak/JB devs.

While any news of an iOS 7 jailbreak is good news, the iPhone 4′s Apple A4 processor makes it an easier target for an iOS 7 jailbreak than newer devices like the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s.
At this point the iPhone 4 iOS 7 jailbreak is not going to help most users upgrade their iPhone 4 to iOS 7 and keep jailbreak tweaks, but in the past we’ve seen iPhone 4 jailbreaks mature quickly into something you can actually use.
The iPhone 5s jailbreak or iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4s will likely take much longer. The very good news is that members of the Evad3rs are working on the iOS 7 jailbreak and a key member is, “confident” about the ability to jailbreak iOS 7.
Even as the team talks about confidence in their abilities for an iPhone 5s jailbreak or an iOS 7 jailbreak, they caution a release is not close at hand.

KatsumiJibbers whats a jail break without cydia
A pretty useless jailbreak if you ask me
I don't think so.
There are many tweaks that can be done that don't include the use or need of Cydia.

Quick question; If it is the jailbreak for the iPhone 4 we are talking about, why is there a picture of an iPhone 5?
Anyways, I will not be jailbreaking my iOS7 device.
Don't want to accidentally lose anything I cannot replace.

I don't mess around with my phone enough to justify jailbreaking it

ShadowBoltDashieDr-PonyfileAuthorize hmm i find this unhelpful. not really into iOS developing. too much to do. will wait for Cydia and hopefully, untethered.
I can't see it being untethered for a while now. If not ever again but we will all have to wait and see as I want a Jailbreak for the iPhone 5.
I'm sure the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S will be the first to have it done, iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S might take longer. Someone will figure it out always have, always will.
I remember when there were free teathering apps
