A few days ago, the Evad3rs team released the iOS 7 jailbreak app Evasi0n. As a big Christmas gift, the iOS 7 jailbreak is totally free for Windows and Mac user, it works for all iOS devices running on iOS 7, which includes the iPhone 5s/5c/5/4s/4, iPad Air, iPad 4/3/2, iPad mini Retina and iPod touch 5. And here is a step-by-step guide show you how to use Evasi0n to jailbreak your iOS devices. The tutorial is easy to follow, even you are technology newbie can handle with it.

Before the jailbreak, there are four Essentials steps for your data and success

1. Check your iDevice compatibility before jailbreaking. The current Evasi0n7 tool is only for iOS 7.0, iOS 7.0.1, iOS 7.0.2, iOS 7.0.3, iOS 7.0.4. and the beta iOS 7.1 versions. Not works for iOS 7 previous version like iOS 6.

2. Back up your iDevice data before jailbreaking. You can use iTunes and iCloud to back your data – yes both. This is very important, it provides the only way to undo the jailbreak should you want to revert back to normal and keep your settings and configuration.

3. If you updated to iOS 7 using OTA as most users did, it is highly recommended to do a full backup and restore before using Evasi0n using the iOS 7.0.4 IPSW. This is not required, but recommended by the Evasi0n team to avoid unnecessary bugs and quirks.

4. Turn off the lock screen passcode before jailbreaking, not doing so may prevent the jailbreak from working.

Now, let’s start the Jailbreak

Step1. Download the Evasi0n 7 jailbreak (Mac OS X download link or Windows download link). Double click to unzip the files. After the download the files, you can already start the actual jailbreak procedure.

Step6. When the device reboots, tap the “Evasi0n 7” icon that appears on the iOS home screen – the app opens and closes immediately, and eventually the iPhone/iPad/iPod will reboot again.

Step7. Click the “Exit” button in the Evasi0n app on the computer, then look for the familiar brown Cydia icon on the iOS Home Screen to confirm the jailbreak has completed.

Tips: If you can’t find the Cydia icon, the jailbreak probably did not complete properly, and you need to run the jailbreak process again.

  • 1. Stuck and device won’t restart? Put it into DFU mode then restore
  • 2. Stuck in a reboot loop? Restore and re-jailbreak

  • 4. Apps crashing? Undo the jailbreak and wait for a more stable release
  • 5. White app icons? Restore and re-jailbreak
