I Jailbroke Using Evasi0n, Now What Do I Do?

Brooke — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:06:28 +0000

Now that you have successfully used Evasi0n to jailbrake your iDevice running 6.0 or 6.1 firmware, you may be wondering how to actually install an application using Cydia or how to add additional sources to Cydia so that you have more options on applications to install. If this is you, we have a few guides on our f.a.q page that may be helpful. There you will find a guide on how to install applications using Cydia and a guide on how to install additional sources to Cydia. If you are wondering what Cydia is or how you even jailbreak your device, you may just want to head over to our f.a.q page for more info. Feel free to hit up the comments with any additional questions.

Evasi0n Jailbreak Application Compatibly List

I’m going to start a list of what I’ve tried and let you know what works and what doesn’t work with the new Evasi0n jailbreak. For now it will be a simple list with more details and links to come.

Cydia and Repos Overloaded, Expect Errors

Douglas — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:13:28 +0000

Many factors have caused some of the largest amounts of jailbreaking ever. First, there are just more people with iPhones. People who’ve bought the iPhone 5 that had an iPhone before have either passed their old one down or sold it. Also, the low pricing of the iPhone 4S at $99 and the iPhone 4 for free, both with 2 year contracts, have cause more people the ability to own an iPhone. There is also a new generation of jailbreakers to add to the old and all have been waiting months since the last jailbreak.

All of this is to say that for the next of couple days, many hacks and mods from Cydia are most likely not going to install right away. You’ll be lucky to even get your sources and the “Changes” tab to update. Here’s a recent note from Jay Freeman (@saurik) on the situation.

Note: (as of 4AM PST / 12AM UTC) Traffic from Evasi0n has caused many errors. After 19 hours of work (and with tons of code rewritten; BigBoss, Modmyi and I have all made major changes), things seem stable, despite continuing traffic. (If things do break, come back later! ;P) (The ultrasn0w repository is offline.)

Along with Cydia, we’ve seen our own spike in traffic! We’ve encountered no problems thanks to our host Rackspace and their cloud computing! Thanks for visiting and look for more posts coming soon!

Evasi0n Jailbreak Tutorial Video for iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1 [Mac]

Douglas — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 12:30:43 +0000

Last night I made a video of the process of jailbreaking an iPhone 5 on a Mac using the new Evasi0n software. You can get the jailbreak program at evasi0n.com for free. It’s really easy but I recommend watching the video below first, it includes some more information about jailbreaking. The jailbreak takes just under 6 minutes and will work on all devices running 6.0-6.1 (except the Apple TV at this time).

Supported Devices

Evasi0n iOS 6.0 & 6.1 Jailbreak Now Available for All Devices! Including iPhone 5 & Retina iPads

Douglas — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 04:11:02 +0000

The new jailbreak named Evasi0n has finally been released and we have already jailbroken 2 iPhone 5s and an iPhone 4S. The first thing you need to know is you will need to remove your passcode lock from your iPhone. There are known problems during the jailbreak if your passcode lock is on. Once the jailbreak process is over, you can add your passcode lock back. Another thing to know is the servers are getting hit really hard right now and Cydia is loading slow. Be patient and check back every once in a while. We’ll let you know how things are as we keep testing. If you have no idea where to start you should wait for our video demo. Otherwise, head over to evasi0n.com and follow the instructions. Check back here for more info soon!

Absinthe 2.0 – Untethered Jailbreak for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch 5.1.1

Douglas — Fri, 25 May 2012 15:31:57 +0000

The Chronic Dev team has released Absinthe 2.0 which will jailbreak most devices on firmware 5.1.1. I’ll provide a list below of compatible devices. First, I’m going to jailbreak my new iPad (3). It’s current firmware is 5.1 so I am upgrading to 5.1.1. Before jailbreaking I recommend backing up your device. I use iCloud to backup but you can also connect to iTunes and under devices, right click the device and choose backup. It had been suggested to wipe/restore your device before running this jailbreak to save time. It may take up to 30 minutes if you don’t. I have so much on my device that it would take longer than that to restore so I’m trying it with all my apps, pictures and settings.

Once backed up you need to download Absinthe to your computer. MacOSX, Windows & Linux are supported.

Download

Once installed, open Absinthe and connect your device via USB. Once the device is connected it will be detected by Absinthe. Just click “Jailbreak” and wait…

Mine took about 20 minutes.

Device Compatibility:

iPad1,1 – 2,1 – 2,2 – 2,3 – 3,1 – 3,2 – 3,3

iPhone2,1 – 3,1 – 3,3 – 4,1

iPod3,1 – 4,1

(Support for iPad2,4 will be added at a later date)

Jailbreak iPad 1 on iOS 5.0.1 with redsn0w

Douglas — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:11:08 +0000

For this jailbreak I will be using redsn0w for the Mac to jailbreak a first generation iPad running iOS 5.0.1. Most steps are the same on a PC and for other devices such as iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPod touch 3G, & iPod touch 4G. NOTE: iPhone 4S and iPad 2 are not supported at this time.

First you should make sure you are upgraded to firmware iOS 5.0.1. Just go to your Settings app, then General, then Software Update.

Next, sync & back up your device with your computer or iCloud. Now you can download the program redsn0w to your computer. The download links can be found here: blog.iphone-dev.org Once downloaded you’ll need to unzip the file and move the app to your applications folder. Run redsn0w to begin the jailbreak!

You’ll need to turn off your device and be ready to put it into DFU mode. Follow the instructions in the app on how to do that.

On the next screen you will need to make sure “Install Cydia” is checked and click next. Don’t worry about “Enable Multitasking Gestures” because that is part of the new iOS firmware 5.0.1. Now just click next and wait for the software to do the rest. You will see a few crazy screen shown below but soon your device will reboot and you will have a new application called Cydia where you can install all kinda of hacks and mods no available in the Apple App Store.

Note: A few parts of the process may seem like you device freezes up but things like “Moving Applications” and other steps just take a while. Be patient!

Easy Jailbreak For All Current Devices & Firmware – Jailbreakme.com

Douglas — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:16:13 +0000

Jailbreakme.com is back! Just visit the website in Safari on your device and tap install. It installs just like an app from the app store! This hack uses an exploit in the way iOS handles PDF files. It even works on the iPad 2 and Verizion iPhone. Note: this will not work on devices running the iOS 5 Betas. Here’s a video of how to do it and how easy it is.

Friday Night Movie Night – Why you should jailbreak your iPhone According to Saurik

Douglas — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 03:22:10 +0000

It’s always kewl to hear from the developer of Cydia and in this video he explains some reasons why you should jailbreak your iPhone. There are many specific reasons but to me the main reason is to have the freedom to do whatever you want to your iPhone. Apple controls the software and jailbreaking it allows you to have the control. Check out the video and also check out our page titled “Why Jailbreak?”

iOS 4.3 Untethered Jailbreak [Video]

Brooke — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 04:24:58 +0000

As I mentioned yesterday, the Dev-Team had informed us that i0n1c had a 4.3 untethered jailbreak ready for when the new iOS was released. Today, i0n1c posted a video demo of the iOS 4.3 untethered jailbreak. There has been no word from the Dev-Team on when the jailbreak will be available. For now, it is being labeled an “alpha” release. Below is the demo video done on an iPad running iOS 4.3.

Video Description:

Shows my alpha untethered jailbroken iPad on iOS 4.3. alpha because not all required kernel patches are in it, yet.
