Great news for all Jailbreakers! The iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak called Evasi0n 7 has been released by the Evad3rs and it is now available to download for both Mac OS X and Windows. Although Jailbreaking with Evasi0n 7 isn’t too complicated, if you would like a helping hand here’s a step-by-step tutorial for Mac OS X and Windows.

iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak Compatibility

Below is a list of devices and firmware version that the jailbreak will work on. If you are unsure of your firmware version go to the Settings app, select General > About and you should look  for Version:
  • iPhone 3GS: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPhone 4: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPhone 4S: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPhone 5: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPhone 5S: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPhone 5C: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPod touch 4G: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPod touch 5G:iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPad 2: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • The New iPad (third generation): iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPad With Retina display (fourth generation): iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPad Mini: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPad Mini with Retina display: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
  • iPad Air: iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4
Important: If you have a lower firmware version than iOS 7.0.4, it is recommended to update to iOS 7.0.4 before jailbreaking DIRECTLY THROUGH iTUNES. Those who have updated to a firmware version over-the-air (OTA) have a significantly higher risk of running into issues with this Jailbreak. You will also want to disable your passcode. Before continuing from this point, it is also a good idea to backup your data using iTunes or on iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now) just in case anything goes wrong. Now, let’s get started.

How To Jailbreak iOS 7 Untethered With Evasi0n7

First, you’ll need to download the Evasi0n7 Jailbreaking tool. After downloading, unzip the file. Then, make sure your compatible iOS device is connected via USB, and only one device, right-click the Evasi0n7 icon and choose open from the menu to launch it. You may be prompted to allow an application for a new developer – click Open. Windows users should just be able to open it by double clicking the executable file.
