iOS 7.0.4 Jailbreak Explained: RageBreak Tethered Support And Untethered Details
Why RageBreak Only Jailbreaks 7.0.4 for iPhone 4, UnTethered Details
Over the past week there’s been both a lot of talk and controversy surrounding developer RageMasta’s RageBreak iOS 7.0.4 jailbreak utility, which exclusively supports the iPhone 4. While we’ve written two very in-depth tutorials on RageBreak and 7.0.4, one for Mac OS X users and the other for Windows-based PC users, a number of our readers are still confused as to why the utility can only jailbreak 7.0.4 on the old, almost outdated, iPhone 4. That is, undoubtedly, a very good question which we’ll answer in today’s article, along with reiterating the current iOS 7 UnTethered jailbreak’s development status.
First and foremost, it’s important to understand that RageBreak is based on winocm’s opensn0w tool, a project that utilizes Geohot’s ancient limera1n exploit from 2010.
When famed hacker Geohot released his utility after months of speculation, he essentially revolutionized the world of jailbreaking. Limera1n is based on a bootrom vulnerability that simply couldn’t be patched by Apple, as it functions on the hardware level. Therefore, all supported devices (at the time, in 2010, the latest iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models were powered by A4 processors) were essentially jailbroken for life.
Over time, as Apple began to phase out older iOS-devices with the release of newer ones and updated firmwares, the company stopped supporting the devices that limera1n functioned on. Now, the last device that is exploitable via limera1n that Apple still supports is the iPhone 4. In a sense, RageBreak is nothing new, it’s based on Geohot’s work from 2010 to jailbreak the iPhone 4.
Although RageBreak may seem useless to most, it actually benefits everyone - even future jailbreakers with new devices like the iPhone 5S and the iPad Air. The developers of various packages available in Cydia are now able to better test and upgrade their utilities/add-ons/extensions for iOS 7.
As for the Untethered 7.0.4 jailbreak for all current iOS devices, the eva3rs are currently working on the utility in “stealth mode” to avoid various complications. Looking back, it took the evad3rs from the time Apple released iOS 6 (in September) until February to release the first and only Untethered jailbreak for the firmware. It’s only been just over two months since Apple released iOS 7 and the team is already further along in the development process than they were last December.
Moreover, all the members of the evad3rs have full-time jobs and are creating a utility that will be used by millions for free, in their spare time. It’s astonishing how quickly some turn against the four people who have the power to make an iOS 7 jailbreak a reality.

Iphone 4 = It installed and ran fine I put in tmobile sim card and now I get no service how do I fix that ??
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. Can this jailbreak utility be able to jailbreak my iPhone 5?
Actually the real question is, why bothered to even working on cracking the old models such as Iphone4? Dont you think it’s a bit of wasting your time? Unless you can easily modified the crack-app based on Iphone4 to be used on newest models, which is I don’t think so. Nevertheless, good job on the breakthrough, keep it up.
Evad3rs development team: Take your time and do it to the quality we have all come to love and expect. Your work and due diligence is a reflection on you as people and respected members of this community. While others approach the wait with a great deal of impatience and a stark lack of sympathy, I for one , DO understand you a have lives outside the techno world that will eventually yield the 7.0.4 / 7.1 jailbreak. Take your time! On behalf of all us users, even those that might not outright say it, thank you for your efforts to bring us a reliable jailbreak process! Thanks again for all you do for us! -Corey

So if i understand this right. I can get jailbrake on my iPad 2 even if it’s iOS 7.0.4 ?

The iPhone jailbreak is for iPhone 4 only. 3,1 and 3,3 are the only ones that are working for this. 3,2 is not supported yet.
THNX Evad3rs for SUCH a WONDERFUL work.I would have donated $50 if I had my personal CREDIT CARD. Anyways Thanks for making JAILBREAKS

Great work guys cant wait for jailbreak i have manualy jailbroken my iPod 5 and bricked the dang thing so hopefully it comes out this christmas
Have you thought of doing an ‘FAQs of Jailbreaking’ post? Explain everyone’s silly questions, and permalink it from the top of the page so everyone can see it. That should reduce the amount of idiocy in the comment threads.
ipad2 ?
Thanks evaders…
um Evasion Admin can u help me with this its hard!!!!!!!
Good for you Braydon crouch the 4 is old as the dust in your ears there dude!!! Update already?? You waiting till iOS 100?? Next year you won’t be able to update anymore!!
i unfortunately am stuck w/a 5 w/6.1.4 . i still have my old 4. if i update both to 7.0.4 and jb the 4 ,can i ghost and cloud my apps when the 5 jb comes out?
why u dont have jail break on iphone 4 s
I don’t think we will see a jb for the 5/5S till February like last year??? It’s a shame there is one for all the junky older iPhone 4!!! The 5/5S should be first!! But I give the envaders credit they are working on it!! Maybe it’s better it’s late, so apple gets all the bugs out, than we have a nice smoth jb for iOS 7.1?? Or 7.0.4
You jelly? I’m enjoying my jailbreak. (iPhone 4)- Sponsored by Apple.
ppl, escrevo em Pt para que saibam que no mundo se fala mais línguas além do inglês, e por cá também se segue atentamente os progressos. Como todos os outros eu gostava de saber quando vamos ver os frutos do vosso precioso trabalho?
E tu estas mesmo a espera que eles entendam portugues? Uma das mais dificeis linguas de aprender? Gosto de ver uma pessoa positiva. Kudos
It seems to me that there will be no new jailbreak as they have it working but keep coming up with excuses not to publish it I bet there iPhones are done don’t get me wrong I’m all for them but by the time they sort it iOS 8 will be out then there won’t be a jailbreak as iOS 8 will be live linked where no updating will be nessacerry as it will all be done live
are you retarded they just stated they were working in stealth mode to avoid complications.
Funny that Apple seem to release right on time that evaders are Going to release jb they best release the job by 26th feb I have a Freind that works for apple they intend to release 7.1.0 by then
Really you may want to look again if they can do iPhone 4 with rage break come on there pulling yarns and we’ve all been duped by them I heard surik is working for Apple now
So the jailbreak utility will be released before or after 2014 ???
I lost my jailbreak because I had to fix my iPhone .will wait no matter how long it takes to the doubters put your phone back in the box and bye a $&@$& pager
Thanks for the information I appreciate what you guys do for us for free much respect eagerly await your new jail break as I have iPhone 4S keep up the good work don’t listen to the idiots out there so not worth replying to take care and respect 😉
It doesn’t work for iPhone4s?
Thank you for the info and keep up the good work evaders!!! 😛
Does it work for iPhone 4S or just 4
the iphone 4s has a A5 chip and the 4 has a A4 chip so the answer of the question is no it will not work on the 4s
Without the jailbreak for the new iOS 7xx, there will be no access to everyone, the user and the developer. That mean no update for anything in any app that require jailbreak. What we have here is a small opening for the developer.
Now hope that most developer in Cydia are coming over to take look if their software and app will still work for the iOS 7 , iOS 7.0.1, iOS 7.0.2, iOS 7.0.3; iOS 7.0.4. Until then, everything MUST be put on hold.
Is it possible to downgrade when the jailbreak is released for 7.0.4? I am on the iPhone 4S. Thank you.
Only if you’ve saved your shsh blobs with tiny umbrella.
Is it even possible? Becoz apple has stop signing the IOS??
Thanks for the info. Great work guys, keep it up. We the real enthusiast of your marvelous work will wait for the jailbreak. Gracias
An iPhone is sooo much better after a jailbreak. It doesn’t matter how long it will take, because in the end it will be worth the wait. All those annoying people complaining that they can’t wait, that’s just plain rudeness. As the article says; they do it in their spare time, and the fact that they are doing this for us for free, is nothing to complain about. Let’s just hope that the Evad3rs will keep on doing this, regardless of all the whining and complaining people. Because there are still people who do appreciate this hard work!
My 4 works great. Hardly obsolete. When there are no more upgrades available, then it becomes obsolete. So you are telling me that I can jb with limerain now and it will b for life. This is the drift I get.
Yes and it’s almost outdated, unfortunately, it’s predicted that Apple will stop supporting it in iOS 8
Hi guys. Ios 7 jailbreaki will never come. They r just updates new words and update it. It’s useless. True is true so agree the true things.
I actually think that this post is much better than the lasts ones… thanks for the explain on this half iPhone 4 jailbreak… True there is right now only 4 people on the world who can create that jailbreak ( even if i don’t understand why more teams start to work on this, create a real jailbreak and sell it even for a fews bucks.There is so much money to make around the jailbreak community, cydia apps..that it’s so weird that no one else is trying and play concurrence) But the main thing for me is to get a jailbreak! not much a difference if it comes in december or january or february as long as it doesn’t take more than the ios 6 jailbreak.. So thank you evaders for your “free” work (i’am not stupid) i can’t wait to see your utility finished!! Cheers to all
“i can’t wait to see your utility finished!!” Did you mean you can wait or you can’t?
Hi When the RageBreak will be done for iphone 5 ios7.0.4 ??? Plss answer . Thx!!!!!!!
Ragebreak isn’t made for anything besides the iPhone 4 and won’t be updated to support any other device since it’s made to jailbreak using the l1mera1n exploit.
blah blah blah…everytime always the same double talk. What information do u release? U submit nonsense to us. Take lessons using Iclarified as a model and stop telling us repeat info all the time This site is a joke
Bobstud is a joke. I understand everyuthing they say and why things are as they are. It took an entire afternoon of research ot learn the technology behind the “double Talk” Do a little research or better yet just hush until you have something to contribute
Will there b a jailbreak for 6.1.4 for iPhone 5 or should just go ahead and up grade
??? ??????? ?? ipad jailbreak 7.0.4
Do not you know that it is already past remains only idiotic nonsense
I am so worried why the next jailbreak utility evasi0n is not out, why a lot of people like me need it badly. So please let the team come off with the utility Untethered 7.0.4 jailbreak for all current iOS devices. I wish the eva3rs will do so b4 2014. Then
I am sure when it comes it will be complete, no point in releasing a half finished project, just to satisfy the selfish ones who wont even be thankful thy will just use it half finished and start moaning about any limitiation
Suppose I jailbreak my iphone 4 tethered now. Will it be possible to untethered jailbreak same device when untethered jailbreak will be released?
Yes, after restoring your device with iTunes then jailbreaking with evasi0n.
Will this work on the iphone 4s new to the iphones and jail breaking scene. Thanks for the help. Keep up the hard work.
Why not. pay for al that work ? Iwanna pay for that
this was great info and i love how you always say “all the members of the evad3rs have full-time jobs and are creating a utility that will be used by millions for free, in their spare time” because you are right.
STFU and GTFO, If it’s fake then why is there a real jailbreak for 6.0 - 6.1.2? It takes longer then you think, It took 6 months last year. SO GTFO YOU BIG IDIOT
Man you are so stupid!! there is no ios 7.1 jailbreak because ios 7.1 is not yet available… Come on guys don’t trust fakes jailbreak! and how people can say there will be no ios 7 jailbreak?? are you as dumm as you seems? of course the jailbreak is coming soon! ios 6 jailbreak took months to prepare before the release.. it’s obvious since the beginning that ios 7 jailbreak would take as long as the ios 6 jailbreak!! All people saying that there will be no jailbreak for ios 7 are just stupid people (sorry but it’s true!!) Just wait and see, and stop complaining on forums that it takes too much time! If you are not happy just make you re own jailbreak! But please stop saying that theevaders team is doingf this for free IT IS NOT TRUE!! of course they get something of it that’s why they keep doing it! Now relax guys, better to have a good ans stable jailbreak and wait a fews more weeks than to have it now and not stable people who can’t wait now would be the first to complain that the jailbreak is not stable if it was out now!!
Yeah, all of the negative comments on this post are the same person. We continue to block them, but they keep coming back.
ios 7.1 is avaliable. If you know how to get it.
Yeah, the negative comments on this post are the same person. We continue to block them, but they keep coming back.

No you moron, they don’t even have an jailbreak for Ios 7.0.4 yet. Use your common sense.
