Michal Ždanský Hacking team Evad3rs released the expected untethered jailbreak Evsi0n for iOS 7.0-7.0.4, i.e. one that remains functional on the device even after a reboot. A team led by a well-known hacker known by the nickname Pod2g has prepared a relatively simple application for both Mac and Windows, where you only need to connect the iOS device to the computer, launch the application and proceed according to the instructions, even a less skilled computer user can handle the installation.
Nevertheless, an interesting controversy arose in the jailbreak community this time around the jailbreak. An alternative app and tweak store, Cydia, is usually included in the jailbreak and is installed after it is done. However, this time the released version contains an old version that is not fully stable and does not contain the latest version either Mobile Substrate, which is an integral part of Cydia. According to Saurik, who is its author, the Evasi0n team was not informed about the upcoming release of the jailbreak and thus did not have time to prepare a new version.
What's more, if Chinese is selected as the main language on the device, the jailbreak will install an alternative App Store, TaiG. As it turns out, Taig is quite controversial, as it also contains crackle games, as pointed out by Saurik. However, according to Evasi0n, this was a mistake on the Chinese side, as the operators of the alternative store should have ensured that pirated applications did not circulate there. And what is behind this charade, where the coordination between Evasi0n and Saurik failed, while Chinese users got TaiG instead of Cydia (Cydia can be installed and TaiG uninstalled afterwards)?
There were several agreements in place. Evad3rs received an offer from a Czech operator for hundreds of thousands of dollars to jailbreak their store. Saurik was also informed of this deal, and he also negotiated with the Chinese companies and made a counteroffer. In the end, the negotiations did not go well, and Saurik was supposed to work with another group that was supposed to release the jailbreak before Evad3rs. That's why Evasi0n was released with an older version of Cydia, with an update coming out a bit later.
Many jailbreak users are skeptical about the current form of Evasi0n, as it turned out that the illegal software from TaiG contains malware and in general this alternative store is not very trustworthy.
Who already has and is testing??
I tried yesterday on ipa2 and it doesn't work. It only shows apple when starting the ipad and it keeps restarting, so I don't have the courage to try it on my iphone 4s as well.
I'm testing on an iPad mini with retina, the installation is fine, but Cydia is in an old version and practically everything is then incompatible with ios 7...
So there is no deeper meaning to install it, right? For now..
If it doesn't work, have it for the feeling and because of the Cydia icon :D
I'll wait
Certainly not now, I didn't do it because of the feeling but to try it out :D But otherwise, I think that the cydia update won't make you wait long....
Personally, I think it was a mistake to release it now in such a state!
In a while, iOS 7.1 will be available, and thanks aunty (for all the non-functioning JB, at least incompatible/which is the same as the result/) people from Apple have to fix the random things and JB will be there again. Skoda, I used it on iOS 6, it has a lot of interesting and unrivaled tweaks.
I have because of SwipeSelection and biteSMS. iOS still has a lot of bugs that I can remove or work around thanks to JB. Unfortunately (or for God's sake) I won't use the purchased tweaks like Zephyr and Auxo, but it still makes sense.
I installed JB on my iPhone 4 without a problem, but I threw back the 7.1 Beta, because the JB is almost useless now, any attempt to install something from Cydia told me that it is not compatible or something like that.. so I will wait until it is well done and until then I'm going official.
Will there be a chance to downgrade to ios 6?
Like thanks to JB, you mean? Downgrade to iOS6 is no longer and never will be, and JB will help you with that.
My experience. Totally useless, waste of time with installation and then with removal. Nothing works. It was another idea to release JB, when tweaks and apps are not compatible with iOS 7 at all. So for me, out of joy and a "gift" before Christmas, it went down just as quickly.
now I regret that I jailbroken it yesterday (iphone 5), Cydia is the same, iphonecake.com is probably not working, the application is not working, blacked out. I'm nervous
You need this to be very precise: http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/1tgoce/official_chinese_version_of_evasi0n_comes_bundled/
in the village, buying an apple device and then jailbreaking it seems slightly off the mark...
I don't understand why you don't buy a nice device with Android
Your problem, what joke to write about it?
no need to react, it was a statement...
rather than jailbreak iOS, I prefer Android, I would be ashamed of myself
Well, shame on you if you feel relieved...
I don't have to ;-) I don't steal
That's right, but it's your problem if you don't steal in the thief's world :D
You will go to heaven :D
But I understand that the people from the factory who work 12 hours a day have no thoughts of thieving, that's what it's all about. Raising sheep and then turning them into oxen ;)
The height of stupidity is being proud of the fact that I don't steal when everyone around me does :D
I have been an Apple product user for more than eight years, I have always updated my iPhone with applications from the App store, I like to buy quality applications for a few crowns, but only Jailbreak can help me make my iPhone more useful, even with modifications when the phone is locked, etc. Jailbreak is not only about theft application, so please be aware of how you write nonsense here, if it would be so embarrassing for you, I don't understand that you don't feel embarrassed, that you read the article at all, and on top of that you make embarrassing comments that have nothing to do with the forum about this page.
Have a nice day.
because there is NO nice android device YET
