The Evad3rs Team have released an update to the Evasi0n jailbreak utility. Evasi0n 1.1 has fixes for a few bugs: one that caused the Weather app to crash, and another that caused longer reboot times.
If you’re already jailbroken – there is no need to rejailbreak, just run Cydia and install updates there. There is nothing in evasi0n 1.1 that is not already in Cydia.

Release notes indicate maps improvement and some other optimization. well, we understand that the main purpose of iOS 6.1.1 is probably to fix vulnerabilities used by envasi0n jailbreak.
MuscleNerd already commented via twitter:

The Evad3rs have released fixes for the those experiencing problems with the Weather app or long reboots after performing the Evasi0n jailbreak.
The fixes can be applied easily by updating the evasi0n 6.x untether and uikittools packages in Cydia, reports planetbeing:
Fixes for the long reboot issue and Weather app issue are now available on Cydia with an update to the untether and uikittools.
Update:
It looks like AppSync, tweak for app piracy causes the Weather App to fail. Planetbeing Reports:
People are reporting uninstalling AppSync AND rebooting are solving their issues.
Try having AppSync uninstalled and deleting com.apple.mobile.installation.plist, com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore and rebooting
MuscleNerd adds:
AppSync didn’t cause weather app problem, but it prevents today’s fix from working. Also likely breaks iCloud apps. Piracy has costs.
If you are having issues even after updating these packages it appears that App Sync may be cause. Users who have uninstalled AppSync and rebooted are reporting success.
Apple has a document warning users that jailbreaking their iOS devices may cause instability, security vulnerabilities, shortened battery life, and other issues. The document was posted on February 3rd, the same day the Evasi0n jailbreak was originally expected to drop. Take a look:
Summary
This article is about adverse issues experienced by customers who have made unauthorized modifications to iOS (this hacking process is often called ”jailbreaking”).
As designed by Apple, iOS and iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch are designed to work together reliably. Unauthorized modifications to iOS (”jailbreaking”) can cause numerous issues to the hacked iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Examples of issues caused by these unauthorized modifications to iOS have included the following:
Instability: Frequent and unexpected crashes of the device, crashes and freezes of built-in apps and third-party apps, and loss of data.
Security vulnerabilities: Security compromises have been introduced by these modifications that could allow hackers to steal personal information, damage the device, attack the wireless network, or introduce malware or viruses.
Shortened battery life: The hacked software has caused an accelerated battery drain that shortens the operation of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on a single battery charge.
Unreliable voice and data: Dropped calls, slow or unreliable data connections, and delayed or inaccurate location data.
Disruption of services: Services such as Visual Voicemail, Weather, and Stocks have been disrupted or no longer work on the device. Additionally, third-party apps that use the Apple Push Notification Service have had difficulty receiving notifications or received notifications that were intended for a different hacked device. Other push-based services such as iCloud and Exchange have experienced problems synchronizing data with their respective servers.
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of iOS end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.
Many users experience problems with Cydia. This is normal. Due to the release of untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1 hundreds thousands of users started to do jailbreak and use Cydia. Cydia servers are having hard time right now.
Here are some of the most common errors we’re seeing:
Our best advice? As pod2g says, your best bet is trying again a little bit later.
If you have problems with Cydia sources, it’s ok, it’s just that they are under heavy load at the moment. Try again later.
Yesterday the Evad3rs Team have announced via twitter and on their website that the evasi0n untethered jailbreak is in final testing and preparation and will be released today.
Final count down toward tomorrow’s release has begun!
The Evad3rs website indicates that current progress is 96%:
96%: Final testing and preparation. Come back soon!
Next step: Release!
While waiting for the jailbreak many users have found that evad3rs have hard coded the progress bar of the evasi0n jailbreak to reach completion quite soon. According to our calculations, the progress bar will reach 100% at February 4th, 2013 at 17:00 UTC, which is 12pm Noon EST.
Of course, the team could very well finish earlier or run into a problem and need more time to finalize the jailbreak. To be the first to know when the jailbreak is released please follow iPhoneRoot.com.
Here is a quick table for all time zones:
Evad3rs team has recently announced that the first round of testing of the evasi0n untethered jailbreak has been completed successfully.
85%: First major round of testing concluded successfully on Windows and Mac. Come back soon!
Next step: tests on more iOS device and firmware combinations.
It’s widely expected the jailbreak will be released today, February 3rd.
