General iOS 7 JB Released

It put my 5s on 7.0.4 into perpetual reboot; make sure that you have a backup that you can restore to just in case!
 
I have:

iPhone 5 on evasion jailbreak 6.1

Is there anything special that I need to do before or can I just install the jailbreak?

Thank you.
 
**Why wouldn't @evad3rs coordinate with the Cydia developers?

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 2m
So, I got no lead time on evasi0n7, nor was I asked for an official iOS 7 Cydia; I was not given builds, nor was I asked for things to test.

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 1m
In fact, @evad3rs didn't even try my testing build of Substrate I gave core developers, so they didn't notice a fundamental incompatibility.

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 2m
This means they are going to have to push a new version of their untether to fix this oversight before I can push newer builds of Substrate.

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 2m
As there was also never a tethered jailbreak for iOS 7 that had fully working kernel patches I haven't been able to test much at all myself.

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 1m
I thereby have no clue what will or will not work, or even what evasi0n7 includes; I hope that people bear with me as I figure this all out.

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 1m
(In particular, I will point out that the build of "Cydia" included is not official, and couldn't really include the fixes I'd been making.)

Jay Freeman (saurik) ‏@saurik 2m
(Also, it's 5 AM here; I'm quite tired and had been intending to go to sleep, so I don't have the brain power to react to this all quickly.)
 
Hope this doesn't get patched in 7.1 :S Eitherway great news :D

Someone mentioned maybe patching the beta to not expire? Might that be worthwhile on the Air since that gains the most benefit from 7.1? That is of course if Apple manage to patch the JB before release.

So judging from that, it might be worth holding off till they push a new version out?
 
I'm staying away for now. I'll prob JB when @saurik has everything ironed out (read his recent Twitter posts above). Hopefully by 7.1. Good stuff regardless. I didn't see this coming at all !!
 
I would presume that if they are releasing this now, it's because 7.1 latest beta patches the exploit.
 
On second thoughts, I'm staying away until saurik gives the ok.
If it does't include the official version of cydia then what is the point of downloading it.
 
DO NOT TRY TO JAILBREAK IPAD AIR WITH IOS 7.1 BETA 2 IT WILL ENDLESSLY REBOOT!


Restoring it to 7.0.4 as we speak.
 
Well so far the only thing that I have been able to download on Cydia is winter board. No themes work yet :( But at least there is progress!!
 
Has anyone been able to run the program on Windows 8.1? It's not running for me, even after saying it's OK to run :mad:

For those who only care about WinterBoard: as I expected, I got core functions working on iOS 7 ;P. (Not pushed yet!)

mine did once.. as I was going to restore it "fixed" it self... I´ve only installed MobileTerminal 520-2, and rebooted several times :D
 
iPad2 wifi went in boot loop after JB attempt on a clean 7.04 restore

Be careful and backup your stuff before starting!!
 
I wouldn't jailbreak all fast heartedly yet, Cydia hasn't been updated for this release
