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.
The Evad3rs Dev-Team has launched an official website for the jailbreak of iOS 6.1, called ‘Evasi0n’.
The official evasi0n 6.1 jailbreak: http://evasi0n.com — Check regularly for updates! #evasi0n
The site currently indicates the following status:
68%: Applications for Windows and OS X are finished. Remains linux and some testing. Come back soon!
Next step: private beta testing
A progress bar indicates the team is more than half way done the jailbreak. According to the team new Evasi0n untethered jailbreak is compatible with all iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini models running iOS 6.0 through iOS 6.1.
The new team of hackers consists of Pod2g, Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and Pimskeks. Following the release of iOS 6.1, Planetbeing confirmed that their untethered jailbreak works with the firmware and MuscleNerd hinted that the jailbreak could be released on Sunday.
MuscleNerd, a popular hacker and member of the evad3rs, has revealed that the upcoming iOS 6.1 jailbreak will support all 22 device variations and likely the atv2.
@MuscleNerd is every other device supported?
@unicornhacker yes, every other 6.1 device variation will be supported. All TWENTY-TWO of them (omg!). Plus atv2 if it’s out in time.
Unfortunately, with the exploit that’s being used, the Apple TV 3 will not be supported.
@MuscleNerd @evad3rs_jb So those of us with atv3 still have to wait for a bootrom
@arovik not necessarily. Although atv3 uses far fewer services that can be tampered with, it’s not isolated. But it can’t use this next JB
The Apple TV 2 will be included in the upcoming jailbreak, according to MuscleNerd of the Evad3rs Dev-Team.
Awesome…as @EvilPenguin_ pointed out, we’re seeing the final ATV2 6.1 today too. So ATV2 will be covered by the JB (not ATV3 tho).
Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier the Apple TV 3G will not be supported by this jailbreak.
Pimskeks of the Evad3rs Dev-Team reveals that those looking to apply the new iOS 6.1 jailbreak should update to the firmware using iTunes.
If you people plan to upgrade to iOS 6.1 please don’t do an OTA upgrade. Please make a full restore using iTunes.
Just moments ago Planetbeing confirmed that their untethered jailbreak works with new iOS 6.1 final firmware released by Apple today and MuscleNerd hinted that the jailbreak will be released this Sunday.
MuscleNerd offers some insight as to why this is necessary, “a few reasons: OTA is more time consuming for us to test, and it gives you different SHSH blobs than normal restore.”
Planetbeing has confirmed that their untethered jailbreak works with new iOS 6.1 final firmware released by Apple today.
iOS 6.1 appears to be vulnerable to the exploits we are planning on using.
In terms of code, we have two proof of concepts that we need to merge and polish, so we will not be ready to release until that and testing.
Notably, MuscleNerd has hinted that the team might release the jailbreak on Superbowl Sunday.
Hey, did everyone know the Super Bowl is this Sunday? What will you be doing? /cc @evad3rs http://evad3rs.com
Pod2g confirmed that the Evad3rs Dev-Team is ready with a jailbreak for iOS 6.1 and credits Planetbeing and Pimskeks for the accomplishment in an interview with iDigitalTimes.
“For your information and this is important to me that everybody knows about it also, this jailbreak will be @planetbeing and @pimskeks. I arrived at the end, gave ideas that pushed them to their maximum, I kinda unblocked the situation, but it would certainly have happened without me helping.”
“Now I am helping as much as I can in terms of communication, websites, and also development, but I was not involved the same way as previous, focused on my work and all… Yes, in order @planetbeing, @pimskeks, then me.”
According to the hacker, iOS 6.0 is jailbroken as is iOS 6.1 Beta 4. The team is now waiting for iOS 6.1 GM to drop after which they can confirm there is no new security measures introduced. Once everything has been tested successfully the team will release the jailbreak. The public jailbreak will be free. It is rumored that all devices will are supported: iPhone 3GS,
“6.0 is jailbroken, 6.1 beta 4 also. Now we are waiting 6.1 to confirm and release.”
