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.

The package is called Evasi0n 6.x Untether 0.1-1 and it is based on Planetbeing and Nikias' exploits. This package will help you lose the...
