It’s an entertaining cat-and-mouse
story – particularly when the jailbreak community has pulled off a universal
untethered jailbreak – and yet again, the Evad3rs team has come up with the
goods for the just-dropped iOS 6.1.1. Released hurriedly to fix cellular issues
pertaining to the iPhone 4S, the Evasi0n jailbreak tool has been updated to
deliver the same untethered jailbreak as for iOS 6.0-6.1 on iOS 6.1.1.
As it emerged rather soon following its
release, iOS 6.1 was causing some iPhone 4S users grief in relation to cellular
performance, but Apple has been fairly prompt in releasing a remedy, and the
23MB update should spell an end to any such issues. As an iPhone 4S user
myself, I found that my usually stable signal was flat lining on a regular
basis, but having just moved to iOS 6.1.1, all seems well thus far.
A tweet sent out earlier by respected
jailbreak developer and Evad3rs team member Planetbeing confirmed what
we’d all been hoping was the case – that Apple had not prevented the
jailbreak with iOS 6.1.1, and also, that an update to Evasi0n was imminent.
Well now, that update has been released as promised, taking Evasi0n to version
number 1.3, and the jailbreaking process is, thankfully, just as simple as it
was before.
Apple usually responds with an iOS release
which patches exploits used for the purpose of a jailbreak, but such was the
timing of the Evasi0n tool, it’s likely the Cupertino company has not yet had
the time or resources to create, test and release an update. Of course, that
day will soon be arriving – and for all devices, so please ensure you do not
update your device to any future firmware until a reputable developer states
otherwise. That is, if you wish to retain your jailbreak.
For those on iOS 6.1.1, the updated
tool is now ready to download for Windows, Mac and Linux users. Most of the
bugs present in the initial Evasi0n release seem to have been ironed out, but
if you do spot any, be sure to report them to the Evad3rs team so they can be
dealt with accordingly. If you require a step-by-step walkthrough, here’s how
simple it is:
Step 2: Download iOS 6.1.1 for
iPhone 4S.
Step 3: Since instructions to jailbreak iOS 6.1.1 with
Evasi0n are exactly same as before, there is nothing to learn but to click the button. Or... Follow the video bellow [RedmondPie]
