Those looking to jailbreak their iOS
devices can rejoice, since a new tool named Evasi0n has just been released by
the Evad3rs team which allows for an iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak on almost all
of the devices.
Team Evad3rs was established earlier this
year, combines some of the jailbreak community’s most talented developers:
Nikias Bassen (Pimskeks), Planetbeing (David Wang), France-based Pod2g (Cyril)
and Los Angeles-based MuscleNerd; all known for producing reliable jailbreaks
in the past. This team was assembled in order to develop a reliable untethered
jailbreak for iOS 6 for post-A5 devices, including the iPhone 5, the iPad mini
and the latest-generation iPad. This has now been achieved with the just-released
userland jailbreak tool, known as Evasi0n.
The following devices are supported
by this tool:
•
iPhone 5
•
iPhone 4S
•
iPhone 4
•
iPhone 3GS
•
iPad 4
•
iPad 3
•
iPad 2
•
iPad mini
•
iPod touch 4
•
iPod touch 5
iOS firmware versions supported by Evasi0n:
•
iOS 6.0
•
iOS 6.0.1
•
iOS 6.0.2
•
iOS 6.1
Out of all new iOS devices, only the Apple TV
3 is not currently supported, although here’s to hope that a new tool will be
developed soon that supports it.
This tool is quite user friendly, yet
we remind users not to update their devices over the air (OTA): instead
download the latest iOS 6.1 firmware and update to it via iTunes or the
standalone ISPW – to take full advantage of all the new features of iOS 6.1
with added benefits of jailbreak.
It was quite a wait, but hopefully
iPhone 5 users, as well as owners of previous iOS devices, will be able to
customize their iOS setup to their liking, all thanks to Evasi0n jailbreak. We
will be posting full how-to tutorials shortly, stay tuned for that!
iOS 6 was originally released in
September of last year, featuring many improvements to Apple’s mobile operating
system, including a radically revamped Maps app, Facebook integration built
into most of its apps, along with improvements to Siri, Mail and other built-in
apps. Given the release of iOS 6.1 on the horizon for quite a few months now,
developers were put off developing a jailbreak for iOS 6 until 6.1 was finally
released last Monday.
