We’ve already shown Mac users how to jailbreak iOS 6 using evasi0n, and now it’s your turn Windows users! Inside, you’ll find a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to jailbreak your iOS device on your operating system of choice.
In this example, I’m using Windows 8, but this should work on virtually any version of Windows, including Windows 7, Windows Vista, and even Windows XP. Take a look inside for our guide...
Evasi0n, the long-awaited untethered iOS 6 jailbreak was released to the public this morning. And aside from some overloaded web servers and Cydia repos, it's been a fairly smooth ride for most folks.
But there does seem to be one bug in the utility that is causing problems for [at least some] iPhone users. We're seeing a lot of folks complain that their stock Weather app crashes after jailbreaking...
Earlier today, we started receiving reports that folks were having issues with their Weather app after jailbreaking. It's been the one glitch in an otherwise flawless execution of the evasi0n tool.
The issue appears to be limited to iPhones—the iPad actually gains Weather app functionality—and is only affecting some users. But nevertheless, the brilliant evad3rs say they're on it...
The just released evasi0n jailbreak is remarkable for a few reasons. For starters, it's the first untethered jailbreak released for iOS 6. Secondly, it's the first time that iPhone 5 owners have had the luxury of experiencing Cydia, and all of the jailbreak apps that come with it, on the larger screen.
We've seen a few folks tease us in the past with Cydia running on the iPhone 5, but never have you had the ability to experience it for yourself, firsthand. Inside this post, we'll showcase a few of our favorite jailbreak apps and tweaks, and show you how they look on the iPhone's 5 larger screen.
About 20 minutes ago, the moment everyone has been waiting for finally arrived: the evad3rs released their untethered iOS 6 jailbreak called 'evasi0n.' Now, everyone with a device running iOS 6 or higher (except for the ATV) can jailbreak their devices.
And it seems like everyone wants to. Unless you got in within the first few minutes, you probably received the above error when trying to download the evasi0n utility. That's because there's over 270,000 people trying to access the site right now...
By now, most of you have probably already heard that Evasi0n will not be arriving today. The evad3rs tweeted this afternoon that the final countdown towards 'tomorrow's release' has begun.
Of course, they didn't give us any idea of what time to expect it tomorrow. But, as a few folks on Twitter have pointed out, the progress bar on the Evasi0n page is set to expire at noon tomorrow...
Apparently, Sunday isn't exactly Funday after all. Contray to popular belief, the iOS 6 untethered jailbreak will be released tomorrow (Monday), instead of Sunday. The evad3rs team just sent out a tweet confirming it.
In the meantime, evasi0n.com shows a status of 90% complete. All that's left to do now is to perform final tests and preparation.
All of the signs are pointing to a very imminent iOS 6 jailbreak release. Many of the important Cydia packages have just been updated, the first round of testing has concluded for the major platforms, and now, a new Read me section has been added to the evasi0n.com home page.
As it has been stated before, it is believed that Sunday — today — will be the day that the jailbreak will be released by the evad3rs. It could come at any time, but now we feel that we could be, perhaps, very close to the actual release.
Sunday is not that far away. Depending on where you are in the world, it could be as little as a day away. With that in mind, it's great to see status bar on evasi0n.com, which signifies the completeness of the upcoming jailbreak, continue to rise.
Earlier today we reported that the status had approached 75%, with the Linux version of evasi0n still being in the works. Now, the Linux version is completed, and private beta testing is proceeding full steam ahead...
As most of you know, the iOS 6.x jailbreak got official this week. The evad3rs launched their website on Wednesday, unveiling evasi0n, the software that's going to break our devices free from Apple's chains.
Also on the website is a progress bar, which gives an updated look at how close the jailbreak is to completion. And if you looked at it this morning, you would have noticed that it just jumped to 75% complete...
If you're keeping your eyes locked in on the evad3r's Twitter account, then perhaps you saw the second tweet hit the wire just a while ago. Indeed, yet another step in the progress of the evasi0n jailbreak tool has been finished.
Now that the tool's GUI interface has been completed for both Windows and Mac OS X, a few super fortunate, and uber trustworthy individuals, get to perform a private beta test with the tool. 68% completed, only 32% remaining!
As pointed out on Twitter by @Pix3lDemon, the website setup for the upcoming evasi0n jailbreak tool strongly hints at a Sunday release. While this isn't entirely surprising, seeing as members of the evad3rs themselves hinted at a Super Bowl day release, it does reafirm the belief that Sunday, will indeed be Funday.
As you'll see on the evasi0n.com splash page, each device that shows a visible Calendar icon is displaying a '3'. It just so happens that the first Sunday in February is on the 3rd. Coincidence? Probably not. Check past the break for the screenshot.
