'Evasi0n' Arrives as First Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 5 and iOS 6.x

[Born Again]

I paid for intelliscreenx a while back and I miss it

Woot

It's pretty awesome that this work on all 6.x firmwares, not just the latest one.

Make sure you update your firmware through iTunes. If you did an OTA update, you will have to first restore through iTunes before you jailbreak.

Thanks Evad3rs!

This is incorrect information.

So beautiful.

So beautiful.

You've got some phone calls to return.

 

[Carlanga]

This is incorrect information.

What is incorrect?

Also if anyone got stuck:
pod2g: If the device is stuck displaying "patching kernel", you can press Power+Home for a long time to force a reboot.

I agree, it does sound useful. Unfortunately, I can't think of any definition for 'precise GPS data' that you can't access through a number of (free) apps available on the App Store.

So I'm also curious about what he meant.

Are you just talking about gps apps, or something else?

 

[yakapo]

jeeze dont u guys have work to do so i can actually use cydia?

But I am at work! =D

Best jobs = maximum pay / minimum stress / wear comfy shoes

hmmm.... it might be time to sell my crappy galaxy 8.9 lte and get an ipad mini.

 

[h1r0ll3r]

'Bout damn time Now to download all my apps whenever Cydia is working properly.

 

[SmileyBlast!]

It would seem that the Cydia servers are being crushed.
How many people read this post anyway?

 

[JPChicago]

Was getting exciting because biteSMS was downloading, but turns out nothing but errors

 

[thefourthpope]

Anyone know if it is possible to save my cydia apps and those settings from one jailbreak to the next? It took so long to get everything just right!

 

[NewAnger]

apps, themes, widgets mostly.

iBlacklist. The only app that I've wanted and used a Jailbreak for.

What is incorrect?

You don't HAVE to do an iTunes upgrade, but it was recommended by the dev team. So, technically incorrect, but practically might want to follow the advice.

Does this unlock the phone too?

There are backup programs that can help. I can't make a recommendation, haven't quite gone that route myself, only researched them partially.

Did anybody else's JB'd device jump 5 hours into the future? My iPod seems to think it's 6pm instead of 1pm.

Dang, it sure jumped! My phone is showing 6:21pm instead of 12:21pm. When I go to settings, the "Time Zone" section has busy wheel. I'm going to try and do a network reset and see if that fixes it.

EDIT:
Network reset fixed it! Phew!

 

[thefourthpope]

So you just like voiding your warranty (it does, even if you lie about it and tell Apple you never did), and violating your contract with AT&T (and basically laughing at all of the people who pay the legitimate tethering fee by stealing it yourself instead)?

I'd say just get some free apps and be cool with it! Sounds like you're ok with everything else (even if you rationalize it)....

I don't like voiding my warranty, but I'm willing to for the improved functionality.
But you're right that I'll rationalize not paying AT&T an extra $20 per month for something that I already pay $100 per month. I pay for my data connection on my iPhone. Being able to use that data connection to DL email on my iPad via a tether is A-ok by me.
You're wrong in your rude assumption that I laugh at anyone about it.

 

[AnonMac50]

Forces?

Last time I checked I was still able to purchased whatever product I choose to from any given company, nobody is forcing you to do anything, you freely chose iOS.

Perhaps he means that Apple forces on you if you were to use iOS.

Yeah, I got the loading wheel, too. I just changed the time from automatic to manual and it defaulted to the correct timezone. Glad it's not just me.

Mine has been sitting at the final "Patching Kernel..." screen for a long time. Anyone else have this happen?

ATT iPhone 5

I too had the screen stuck on "Patching Kernel" but the instructions says to turn it off if it gets stuck and run the jailbreak again. I loaded it up a second time but it said that my iPhone 5 was already jailbroken. Sure enough, Cydia was on my homescreen and I was able to start adding repos and tweaks. I too have an ATT iPhone 5, 64GB.

Good to know that it might be worth my time to try at least. All I have is phoneview

 

[lolkthxbai]

You've got some phone calls to return.

And emails to read.
