“Evasi0n” Jailbreak Goes Live

February 4, 2013 @ 6:02 PM

Note: This article talks about the process of iOS Jailbreaking. While we can’t provide instructions on how to perform jailbreaks, you can find more information on the subject here.×

As expected, the iOS 6.1 jailbreak, “Evasi0n,” has just gone live in the last hour. The jailbreak uses an “untethered” method, which essentially means that if a user turns their device “off” and back “on,” the device will start up completely, and the kernel will then be patched without the help of a computer – (in other words, the device will be jailbroken after each reboot).

Before #evasi0n reaches 100%, those with iPhone4 and ipt4g tethered 6.1 JB should now restore to stock 6.1 (but NOT if you use ultrasn0w!)

The jailbreak supports iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad mini, iPod touch (Generation 5), iPod touch (Generation 4) and Apple TV (Generation 2), and is now available for download at evasi0n.com.
