So uninformed it's astounding.
Do some research and when you've done that then do some more research.
I personally won't be touching the evasion jailbreak with a 10 foot barge pole until everything is ironed out or until Saurik gives the ok.
Got a tip for us?

Thats your choose and I've read all kinds of crap so don't tell me I'm "uniformed". Thanks anyway.
you are also a new guy to these forums so your opinion really should be taken with a grain of salt. you have been trolling since you started. there is nothing wrong with this jailbreak, just needs time for the devs to catch up.
Yes I'm new but that doesn't mean I've not been lurking this site for many years.
Trolling? That really is ridiculous, look around all the other popular forums and blogs, even this website. The vast majority of people are clearly concerned about this jailbreak and since everything has been so fishy and shady from the evaders, do you really think it's all clear cut now?
To dismiss all the allegations just because the evaders say "it's ok to download" is very naive.
What does it matter at this point, for those that are NOT jailbroke at this time, they may as well do so since Apple WILL close any holes they can and once again it may be a long while b4 another JB surfaces.
Since cash is what drives everyone involved including cydia and the software devs, they have reasons to continue their work and to work with this JB as the cards have been shown at this point with Apple.
Go ahead and wait until apple closes the door
The point is, There are always risks with jailbreaking, sometimes they don't work right every time at which point means a restore, at this time apple is signing 7.0.4, therefore you can start from scratch.
This will not be an option for long.

Saurik did give the okay, he recommended jailbreaking now and waiting for updates in the next few days.
Link?

So you're saying i have to choose between a shady jailbreak or stock? Then the answer is disappointing but quite easy.
I read this too I think it was somewhere on Reddit
http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/
Although I shouldn't post anything since I'm not well informed.

Therefore move on as there is nothing new here for you.
You are missing the point, you can ALWAYS go back to stock whenever

how is this jailbreak shady?! lol
i now have root access to my device and patiently waiting for devs to update their tweaks.
sound like a sheep too me, so they got paid for their hard work. good for them. we still get a free jailbreak that worked 100%.
Sorry, but you guys are all confusing each other.
Substrate does work, but not on the 64bit devices, sometimes on the 32bits you will have to remove it then install it.
Yes, many tweaks do not work, but many do
Winterboard
F.lux
Gridlock
FakeCarrier
Status HUD
AdBlocker
Accelerate
many, many more
The issue of Chinese "App Store" is only if you have your phone set up in Chinese
I don't remember a jailbreak ever being perfect upon release, with iOS 6, many tweaks, themes, and apps did not work, after a little while they were updated.
If there is an update, it will be most likely pushed trough cydia, not a restore and re-jailbreak.

Is it safe to update to iOS 7.0.4? iPhone 4S?
Edit - is it safe to do it OTA?
I'm still on iOS 7.0.2 because I wasn't sure if 3 or 4 were blocked.
So I figured I would update to the latest iOS before jail breaking. But I'm at work so I can only do OTA until tonight. Or should I just wait and do it through iTunes?
EDIT - nvm. I just saw the red text on the evasion site.
I'll wait.

Excellent, as long as it has been approved by Saurik it seems good to go.
For all those with snarky comments, its best to question everything when dealing with anything. I know everyone is excited for a jailbreak but blindly installing anything is not good practice.

lol, blind install? the evaders are a trusted team that have given us excellent jailbreaks before.
Can I tell you that I love you for this comment? You made me shoot coffee out of my nose when I laughed reading it, hehehehe.
And all the information that came out about the pirate Taig App Store, uploading data to 360 servers and an unofficial build of cydia didn't concern you?
IMO, I don't understand all the negative stuff about evasi0n7.
1. First of all, it jailbreaks your iOS device (No one is forcing you to jailbreak).
2. Installs Cydia (as per usual) and TaiG (if your system is in Chinese).
3. Most JB related stuff on Cydia doesn't work (because devs havent tested their apps yet, which is to be expected).
So what's all the fuss about? I know TaiG came with preinstalled repos of cracked apps, but hey, Cydia is full of those cracked repos as well. People who likes cracked apps already knows how to get them (preinstalled or not).
It seems that some people are affected by the fact that evad3rs were paid to install TaiG. But who the **** cares? They spent so many hours developing this jailbreak, they got their money, you get your free jailbreak, so ****! All those ******** rumors about data being sent to China is all full of **** as well.
Personally, I haven't jailbroken my iPhone 5s yet as I'm waiting for some stable tweaks, but it's getting really annoying with all those jailbreaking ******** crap that some people are whinning about. I wonder whether some of those whiny bitches are some noobs who just got their iOS devices this year and haven't followed the jailbreaking scene from the very beginning.
BTW, if you really don't like it, again **** and use your stock iOS or go Android.

It's Christmas time for a lot of them and they've been Woofing down the eggnog...People LOVE to get all testy around this time.
so true...ppl love saying anything Chinese related is bad. I remember when they got siri onto the iphone 4 ppl were trying to spread crap and use scare tactics not to use it. Now that China has the iphone we will see a lot more devs popping up now too.
not one bit.
1. im not in china
2. the upload thing was a rumor from reddit, and i was following that thread...but even if it was true...they could steal my facebook password? who cares.
3. saurik was very quick to speak on the release of e7, never did he say anything bad about cydia.
THIS.
I'm not Jailbreaking if the Taig app is pre-installed with it. Because, you simply can NOT TRUST ANYONE ANYMORE. They supposedly got paid $1 million to put that thing in the JB installer - you can't tell me there isn't something fishy about this whole thing. I'd like to see a detailed breakdown of the Taig payload. Wouldn't shock me if it's laced with some sort of spyware.
They need to release a Cydia-Only version of the JB or I'm not even going to bother.
There is so much hacking going on through China these days that I'm not taking the risk.
And after read in this from the Evaders team:
...Sounds like someone else is getting ready to release their own iOS 7 Jailbreak with a fully-compatible Cydia that has Saurik's blessing. I'd rather wait for THAT one.

Don't wanna sound rude but let's see your theory. So your issue is with the deal to have TaiG installed on a jailbroken iOS device and you want a cydia-only jailbreak.
The fact is, you can have your Cydia-only by default as long as you are not using a chinese based os while installing.
So now the only issue is the TaiG app made by the Chinese. Don't want to get into racism or anything but dude, you've got to educate yourself a bit more and open your mind! Your iOS devices are made in China, so does most of your electronics. Do you stop buying them? NO. China has more user base, and the fact that Apple recently striked a deal with the largest carrier in China proves theres a market there, so does the jailbreak community! It makes sense to have TaiG in evasi0n. Not to mention, if it wasn't the evad3rs, another dev team would have added another Chinese app nevertheless.
If you'll take the time to read good stuff instead of fuc|<ed up stuff on reddit, you'll be a very smart man or woman by now Peace out!
