It looks like the vulnerabilities used for the evasi0nuntethered jailbreak will be fixed in an upcoming iOS 6.1.3 update. PlanetBeing, one of the founding members of the evad3rs team that reports that Apple has patched at least one of the five exploits that evasi0n uses to accomplish the jailbreak.
“If one of the vulnerabilities doesn’t work, evasi0n doesn’t work,” he says. “We could replace that part with a different vulnerability, but [Apple] will probably fix most if not all of the bugs we’ve used when 6.1.3 comes out.”
Our advice? Just enjoy the jailbreak, back up your SHSH blobs in case a downgrade solution becomes available. And obviously if you like your jailbreak, stay away from iOS 6.1.3 once it is released.
iH8Sn0w released Sn0wBreeze 2.9.10 that brings support for untethered jailbreak of iOS 6.1.2. New version supports iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G. It does not work with A5/A6 devices, like iPad 2, iPad 3, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, etc.
Sn0wbreeze can be used to create a custom firmware with jailbreak and preserve iPhone modem (baseband) version for unlock. It can also be used to upgrade iPhone 3GS modem version to 06.15.
You can find the release notes below. You can download the latest version of Sn0wBreeze from here.
The Evad3rs Team have released an update to the Evasi0njailbreak utility. Evasi0n 1.2 fixes timezone issue in evasi0n binary if client fails to correct it and disables OTA updates, which are not good for jailbroken devices.
If you’re already jailbroken – there is no need to rejailbreak, just run Cydia and install updates there. There is nothing in evasi0n 1.2 that is not already in Cydia.
The Evad3rs Team have released an update to the Evasi0njailbreak 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.
You can download Evasi0n 1.1 here.
If you haven’t jailbroken yet, you can find the our step-by-step tutorials here:
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:
HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Hash Sum mismatch
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.

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.
