Evasi0n iOS 6.1 Jailbreak Hits 94%, Release Coming Tomorrow [Update]
Looks like Sunday isn’t going to be ‘fun day’, but that’s not going to be a problem for many. The @evad3rs jailbreak team just tweeted they have entered its “final testing and preparation” phase and said the release will be coming tomorrow.
Final count down toward tomorrow's release has begun!

The website now shows 90% completion with the next step being “release!”:

There’s no timeframe on the exact availability of the launch, but we’re guessing it will come in the wee hours of Monday night, probably after midnight Pacific Standard Time. To prepare for the jailbreak, you should restore to iOS 6.1 via iTunes and remember to turn off your passcode lock prior to attempting the jailbreak, according to the evasi0n.com website. Stay tuned!
Update: Looks like it’s now at 91%:
Update 2: @planetbeing clarifies release dates:
We didn't change any release dates. It's silly to try to find "hints" from day 1… when we have no idea when we're going to be done.

Yes, tomorrow is a concrete release date. It's also the only release date we've ever given. 😛

Update 5: Now at 94%…(this will be our last percentage update; the release is imminent!)

Updated, thanks. Safari shows 91%, Chrome shows 90% over here lol
91% actually…
Man…why’d they say today then? What a let down, was so looking forward to today….oh well. Monday it is.
They never said it would be today. People just assumed it would be today because previous releases were on a Sunday.
They never really said today, @musclenerd just “hinted” it could be Sunday.
I am actually excited to have my iPhone 5 jailbroken. I’ve been out of the jailbreak scene for a while. Think I’ll be jumping back in tomorrow. 🙂
Same! I was jailbreak free for a while, now I kinda miss it. Can’t wait!
RoryPiper emerges from the shadows!
now it says 92%!!!!
92% !
I have a funny feeling they will release just after midnight PST.
That’s what I’m thinking. Less stress on initial downloads, from North America anyways.
One more day ’till FREEDOM!
they are not updating the site. while they maybe testing they are running a java script to increase the percentage every hour or so.
93%! Can’t wait!
93% !
Now it’s 93%!!!
