Untethered evasi0n7 iOS 7 Jailbreak released

4.4
Apple released iOS 7 in September and despite a lock screen exploit that was quickly closed with a patch, there hasn't been any recent jailbreaks released for the mobile OS. That changed early on Sunday morning when the well know Evad3rs hacker team released their latest version of evasi0n. This new build, called evasi0n7, is supposed to work on all versions of iOS 7 released to date.

The program itself runs on both Windows and Mac and allows users of iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch products to gain deeper access to the OS, mostly to run apps that are not distributed by Apple via official channels. That includes Cydia and apparently the creator of that program, Jay Freeman, was surprised at the sudden release of the jailbreak program, at least according to his Twitter messages:

I thereby have no clue what will or will not work, or even what evasi0n7 includes; I hope that people bear with me as I figure this all out.

As with any jailbreak program, running this software is not recommended for the casual owner of Apple's mobile products. It could affect a device's battery life, security set ups and much more so people who install evasi0n7 do so at their own risk.

I want to jail break my new phone but I did that to my ipod and it barely has any battery. (been jailbroken for 3+ years on the ipod touch 2nd gen.)

OptimisticMods What ever happened to Cydia?


Cydia is still there, it always will be.

It's part of every JB.

I'm pretty sure the jailbreak is far from pointless, and if you don't like it just go back to your last backup and voila. There's plenty of things to do with cydia.

Aue Personally I don't think jailbreaking a new device is a good idea. Maybe an old one though. Just my opinion


Me either, It was really only good when Hackulo was open, now its pointless?


It's like, it makes your phone slower, and if it gets damaged, whats the point?


Exactly, couldnt agree more! Just drains power too!


I mean maybe if you know how to repair it, but still, on the other side of the arguement, if you get a really nice case i suppose it wouldnt be that bad


Couldnt agree more but I think it just sucks, pointless and shouldnt be a thing :C


It isn't exactly pointless, I mean you can get a lot of stuff from it and omore customization, so it isn't all that bad, but sttttttilll.


I just dont think its worth the time and effort, anything happens then your a gonner?
