The iOS hackers known fondly as the evad3rs have finally released the iOS 7 untethered jailbreak. The evad3rs released the highly anticipated jailbreak entitled Evasion7, on Sunday, which supports Apple’s iOS devices on both Mac and Windows operating systems. Evasion7 is an all-inclusive system, the jailbreak is compatible with all of Apple’s devices, including the iPhone, iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch, as long as they are running a version of iOS 7. There are a few other things users should do before jailbreaking your devices.
According to International Business Times the untethered jailbreak does in fact run on every version of iOS7 however, they recommend updating to the latest version of the firmware before unlocking the greatest of your Apple device. The latest version of iOS 7 is iOS 7.0.4, to find out what version your device is currently running click “Settings” then “General,” next click “About” and read the number listed next to “Version.” In order to protect your files, it is beneficial for all users to perform a back up of your device in iTunes or iCloud and then restore it to the original state before installing Evasion7; this will provide a seamless and easier transition.
Next users should gather the necessary materials required before applying Evasion7. You will need a computer running at least Windows XP or above, Mac OS X v10.6 or above, and a USB cable to connect your device to the computer. Now that you are ready to apply Evasion7, please note Latin Times is not responsible for any problems that arise while performing this installation.
