Apple to Combat Jailbreakers and Pangu Jailbreak 7.1.2 Utility with iOS 7.1.3 and Self-Sabatoge? - Prior to Apple’s release of iOS 7.1.2, a group based out China with no established past on the jailbreak scene took the world by storm with their release of the Pangu jailbreak utility, which functioned on 7.1 and 7.1.1 at the time. Following Pangu’s grand introduction into the world of jailbreaking, Apple issued iOS 7.1.2 to the general public and seemingly neglected to patch the vulnerabilities exploited by Pangu, allowing the utility to fully jailbreak 7.1.2 UnTethered. With Apple’s upcoming release of 7.1.3, as detailed previously, the company will certainly patch the Untethered Pangu utility, preventing it from functioning on, and jailbreaking, 7.1.3. However, Apple could easily have patched Pangu in iOS 7.1.2, as they’ve been quick to patch previous jailbreak utilities in years past, so why didn’t they? It seems as though it wasn’t neglect at all and may actually prove to be a tactic in Apple’s new arsenal of jailbreak mitigation procedures.

Jailbreak 7.1 Tethered on iPhone 4 Tutorial using GeekSn0w - Today, while a vast number of jailbreakers across the globe are still recovering from Apple’s evasi0n7-patching iOS 7.1 firmware release, popular jailbreak tutorial YouTuber iCrackUriDevice created and released a new video tutorial on how to jailbreak 7.1 on the iPhone 4 using GeekSn0w. The new GeekSn0w for iOS 7.1 utility is based on developer winocm’s opensn0w project that utilizes Geohot’s now-outdated limera1n bootrom exploit from 2010. Unfortunately, in light of that fact, GeekSn0w’s support doesn’t extend beyond the iPhone 4 and, in a sense, it’s nothing new. While incredible, GeekSn0w is simply a modified and updated version of opensn0w and Geohot’s work from four years ago to achieve a Tethered iOS 7.1 jailbreak. The steps outlined in this written jailbreak 7.1 tutorial will function on both GSM and CDMA iPhone 4 models running iOS 7.1 - newer iDevice owners should refer to and use our UnTethered iOS 7.0.6 evasi0n tutorial if possible.

iOS 7.0.4 Bypass Apple ID Activation Lock Jailbreak Complications
Last night, after presumably becoming frustrated by a constant barrage of questions, world-renowned hacker MuscleNerd of the evad3rs tackled the topic of bypassing iOS 7’s activation lock on 7.0.4. Besides evasi0n7 and jailbreaking, a vast number of individuals around the globe have been hopelessly searching for a viable method for bypassing Apple’s anti-theft activation lock, which ties a device to its original Apple ID - a bond that cannot be severed unless the device is verified by logging into said account. While the evad3rs made it possible for the masses to jailbreak 7.0.4, the same can’t, and won’t, be said for bypassing a device’s Apple ID lock.

Apple Releases iOS 7.0.5 in Select Countries, Can 7.0.5 be Jailbroken? Today, in an unexpected and surprise release, Apple issued iOS 7.0.5 for iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C models in China, Europe and Asia Pacific. At this point, we’re all wondering whether it’s possible to jailbreak 7.0.5 using evasi0n7. As previously stated, a vast majority of newer non-USA iPhone models are starting to receive the latest 7.0.5 update, which could very well patch the evasi0n jailbreak. 

Apple Releases 7.0.3, Next Utility to likely Jailbreak 7.0.3Today, following the announcement of both the all-new iPad Air and the Retina second-generation iPad mini, Apple released iOS 7.0.3.  The new update not only provides a number of iOS 7 bug fixes, but it also adds iCloud Keychain support - a feature that’s included in the completely free OS X Mavericks. Furthermore, although MuscleNerd recently shared words of caution with his followers, Apple’s latest release likely won’t have an impact on the evad3rs’ iOS 7 jailbreak, chances are good it will be capable of jailbreaking 7.0.3.
