Jailbreak

Since the launch of Evasi0n, the highly anticipated iOS 6 untethered jailbreak tool, the software has seen the fastest adoption of all time, Jay Freeman told Forbes. (more…)

Just two days after the public release of evasi0n 1.0, the @evad3rs jailbreak team has released evasion 1.1 for download to address numerous bug fixes. Users had reported dealing with issues such as time zone errors, a crashing weather app and long reboots. @Planetbeing noted everything within evasi0n 1.1 is already in Cydia and if...

If you thought the evad3rs, a well-known group of hackers, have played out all their cards with evasi0n – well, they have something to tell you. Errr… well, to tell Apple: they still have plenty of bugs in their pockets, and they are already awaiting the release of the next generation iPhone to jailbreak it....

If you are one of the 4 million+ jailbreakers who set your iDevice free, then you know that the hack triggered the crash of the Weather app, and in some instances also caused the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch reboot to take longer (reboots getting stuck). (more…)

Following the public release of evasi0n, Jay Saurik said their stats show the untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 6 was used 1.7 million times. But that was yesterday morning. The most recent numbers tweeted by Jay Freeman aka @saurik show that more than 4 million devices have been jailbroken since evasi0n became available. (more…)

The evad3rs jailbreak team had long teased a Sunday release of their latest evasi0n jailbreak tool, which has been downloaded over 1.7 million times. However, "fun day" Sunday ended up becoming Monday. On Sunday though, Apple updated a support document outlining the dangers of jailbreaking your iOS device. Were they anticipating the evasi0n release as...

Pod2g has posted detailed instructions on how to fix the crashing Weather app issue caused by the latest evasi0n iOS 6.1 jailbreak, which causes com.apple.mobile.installation.plist to malfunction. Below are instructions on how to fix this yourself, if you're an advanced user. Pod2g recommends making a backup before attempting this: If you are a power-user, and want...

Canadian jailbreak hero @iH8sn0w has just updated his Windows exclusive jailbreak tool sn0wbreeze to support iOS 6.0.x/6.1 untethered jailbreak, while preserving the baseband update by creating custom firmwares. (more…)

I think the new trend on Twitter could be "Monday is Funday", as evasi0n reached the public yesterday, after long months of waiting. Some of us who spent time hacking their iDevices yesterday had to wait until they could install any of available jailbreak tweaks, because Cydia was overcrowded. Why? Jay Freeman Cydia's administrator has...

While Pod2g says there is a lack of innovation on Apple's side when it comes to the new features introduced with iOS 6, the jailbreak community seems to be far more responsive to user demand and jailbreak tweaks, and ideas are growing alongside iOS itself. So, in case you have spent 15 minutes of your...

As with all 1.0 jailbreak releases there are always initial bugs, which happens to be the case with the new evasi0n tool. Earlier we covered a few of the issues which involved the "patching kernel" freeze, Cydia downtime and the weather app crashing on launch. Another issue that has become quite common is the time...

Earlier today the @evad3rs team released their untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak tool, evasi0n 1.0--one of the easiest to date. Just how was this latest jailbreak accomplished? Braden Thomas, from Accuvant Labs, explains what @planetbeing, @pod2g @pimskeks and @musclenerd were able to figure out to bypass Apple and iOS to reach an untethered jailbreak: This blog post...
