General iOS 7 JB Released

Anyone else annoyed they didn't wait to release the JB until the 7.1 GM was released? It can't be longer than a month for it....

What happens when/if your dev account expires? Will that matter as long as the beta doesn't expire? I presume its just needed to install and for Apple to check that the device is signed before installation, and then it doesn't matter right?

What if Apple were to push a beta 3 version tomorrow? Could you still install beta 2? Like can you still install beta 1 now even though beta 2 is out?

Yes you are correct what you can do after you have jailbroken 7.1 beta 2 is remove the ReleaseType Beta Value in SystemVersion plist to remove the expiry date from the beta

/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

I think that there's a reason why they didn't wait.

Maybe Apple did find their hole and released what they had finished, but it's suppose to work up to 7.1 B2, hopefully not though. 7.1 runs much smoother than 7.0.4 and I'm hoping they don't patch it before the GM.
 
Should you believe i0nic, the evad3rs jailbreak was stolen by a trusted third-party and sold.

Considering the very short timeframe between the claim and release, the presence of a secret heavily obfuscated payload continuously running with root privileges on all phones that has been verified provided by a Chinese company, accusations that it is present in exchange for $1m USD changing hands, and that essential parties such as Saurik (Creator of Cydia, MobileSubstrate, and a multitude of other tools) have been left out of the loop that said jailbreak even existed, the story seems plausible.

I went to sleep reading this forum and woke up with the chrome app still on this forum. I tapped the link to jailbreak and hacks section and saw this thread. Almost leaped out of bed jumping for joy!

Then I realized, Sunday=Funday again! Started reading the thread and realized you beat me to it! Metry Christmas everyone! Hahaha! Evaders!
 
Official Chinese version of evasi0n comes bundled with a tool that spams Cydia repos & allows you to install cracked apps. (self.jailbreak)

The tool is called 太极助手. Apparently evad3rs has been in collaboration with this 太极 group somehow. If you download the official package from evasi0n.com and run it on a Chinese locale system, its name becomes evasi0n太极7 and installs the said tool.

I'm going to hold off on this one until it gets fleshed out, and possibly until 7.1. I want Winterboard and swipe selection back, but I want Safari stability improvements in 7.1 more. Hopefully they'll still work on 7.1, and I'll wait a bit when 7.1 comes out to upgrade, but I may just sit this Jb out entirely. Not sure.

I purposely tried my iPad first, my phone is more critical without a jailbreak.

Exactly what i am going to do. Will Update iPad to iOS 7.0.4 and try on that.
Phone is still on iOS 5.1.1 with a stable jailbreak and i cannot risk screwing it.
 
People, don't use word "bricked" when clearly, your device isn't bricked, just get to the recovery mode and restore..
 
Definitely going to wait at least 48 hours to install this.

The rumors of a Chinese program running permanently in Super user mode doesn't appeal to me.

I wonder how much 8 days of M7 data is worth?
 
Im guessing ionics mad because the evaders gave away a free hole in iOS 7 that he didn't get paid for.
 
I'm going to hang off a bit actually, with this whole Chinese fiasco...

If they are installing this weird Chinese pirate app, who else knows what is being installed / what could be going on behind the scenes (spying etc). Pretty fishy release :confused:
 
I had to restore through itunes....do I have to go through the restore process or can I just set up as new until I JB the device?

You all realize this whole "Chinese fiasco" was started by Ionic on twitter right?
