iOS 6.1 Evasi0n Jailbreak Released for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch – Download Now! - If you’re waiting for the iOS 6.1 jailbreak, you’re probably
the proud owner of an iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, or iPod touch 5G. May be
an iPad 4, iPad Mini, The new iPad (iPad 3 device) or any other Apple
device on 6.0 or above? To help you jailbreak your new devices, team
evad3rs has just released a highly anticipated evasi0n jailbreak tool for download which brings full untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak to all iOS devices with ease.
The method adopted by team evad3rs for releasing the evasi0n
jailbreak for download was unique. Instead of manually posting the links
for download, the team wrote a javascript program behind the progress
bar which was increasing by 0.0091 every minute – which translates into
0.0091 * 942M = 8.5%. 942/60 = 15.7 hours 91.5 + 8.5 = 100 – making the
release at February 4th, 2013 at 12:00 PM EST.
This is indeed a big day for those who were beseeching for the
jailbreak to arrive. We all were waiting for the jailbreak since iPad 3
was officially launched. Since then, Apple released various other
devices such as iPad 4, iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPod touch 5G but hacker
community found hard to break the Apple security and run custom code
inside the kernel. After months of hard work, evad3rs team finally
achieved the feat.
Many of you may not be aware of the term Tethered or unetethered
jailbreak. Untethered means that the user does not need to plug the
device into their computer every time they reboot it, as opposed to
“tethered”, which requires this. Evasi0n jailbreak is an un-tethered
jailbreak but you have to connect your device to computer for the first
time to jailbreak it. That’s it!
Supported Apple Devices:
If you want to jailbreak your device, upgrade to iOS 6.1. Devices
running below iOS 6.0 are not supported. Following is the list of
supported devices that includes all CDMA, GSM iPhone models and 3G
cellular iPads:
- iPhone Models: iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS
- iPad Models: iPad 2, The New iPad (iPad 3), iPad 4 and iPad Mini
- iPod touch Models: iPod touch 4th generation and iPod touch 5th generation
- Apple TV Models: Only Apple TV 2. ATV3 is not supported.
Supported Stock Firmwares:
- iOS 6.0 on Build 10A403, 10A405 and 10A406
- iOS 6.0.1 on Build 10A523 and 10A525
- iOS 6.0.2 on Build 10A551
- iOS 6.1 on Build 10B141, 10B142, 10B143, and 10B144
Prepare to achieve clean jailbreak:
- Make up a backup with iTunes.
- If your iOS device is already jailbroken (with Absinthe or Redsn0w), write down a list of your installed packages, because the next step (restoring) will remove the existing jailbreak. If your device is not jailbroken, you may ignore this step.
- Restore your device with iTunes. It will update your device to the latest iOS version, currently iOS 6.1 IPSW. iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS owners who rely with an unofficial carrier unlock MUST restore their device with custom firmware instead.
- Select “Set up as new device” on the device itself during the setup process after the device is restored. Do not select “Set up as new iPhone” or “Restore from this backup” on iTunes yet.
- Jailbreak your device using evasi0n. (follow guides listed at the end of the post)
- Open up Cydia for the first time to allow it to “prepare the filesystem”. Wait for the respring to happen.
- Start iTunes again and select “Restore from this backup” to get everything back on there.
We would be taking you through video guide on how to jailbreak your
iPhone 5 or 4S or iPad 4, or iPad 3, etc on 6.0/6.1 using evasi0n
Jailbreak. Just follow @JAlLBREAKS for instant reminders and updates. Happy jailbreaking!
