Apple Releases iOS 7.0.6, Can The Public Jailbreak 7.0.6 UnTethered?

iOS 7.0.6 Released, Can the Public Jailbreak 7.0.6 UnTethered? - Today, in an unusual and certainly unexpected release, Apple issued iOS 7.0.6 for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models on previous iterations of iOS 7. Currently, we’re all wondering, the staff of iJailbreak Evasi0n and the evad3rs included, whether it’s possible to jailbreak 7.0.6 using the evasi0n7 UnTethered utility. All iDevice owners, even those who are jailbroken, should start receiving notifications to update either via the Settings app or through iTunes on a computer, which could certainly patch the latest evasi0n jailbreak.

Apple Releases 7.0.6, See Our Evasi0n 7 Jailbreak Tutorial

Although it’s too early to rule out 7.0.6 as a threat to jailbreakers, MuscleNerd has already tweeted words of caution surrounding the new iOS 7 update.

However, the possibility of 7.0.6 being jailbreakable exists, as Apple left the vulnerabilities exploited by evasi0n unpatched in their somewhat recent release of 7.0.5 for select non-US iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C models three weeks ago.

As far as the actual update itself is concerned, 7.0.6 is a relatively minor update that appears to mostly deliver a correction for SSL connection verification.

Also, as previously mentioned, there’s a chance that like 7.0.5, the new iOS 7.0.6 update was a rushed release to rectify an issue that Apple felt couldn’t be left unattended until the company’s forthcoming release of 7.1, which has already been confirmed to patch the evasi0n jailbreak.

We’ll have additional information on how the jailbreak is, or isn’t, affected by iOS 7.0.6 in the days to come, but for now, it would certainly be best to avoid the firmware if you wish to maintain your iDevice’s jailbroken state.

From what I have read, evasi0n’s IOS7 jailbreak already disables over the air updates so you shouldn’t need Software Update Killer.

I am going to investigate this software update killer. My phone is still on 6.1, jailbroken and unlocked. It has never over the air or connected to the computer updated on its own, but it does have that annoying 1 next to the settings app

I agree with phatav8r. Why’d evasion say that 7.1 has been permanently unjailbreakable due to apple patching the exploit that jailbroke the iDevices, when they have those other 3 or more exploits still?

Wont the firmware automatically download (When connected to WiFi) like it did in iOS 6 ? Maybe in iOS7 it will automatically install also(Who knows) No tweak for disabling update ?

So, I don’t care much about minor updates, the Chinese update was to make it possible for Chinese phones to function on 4G LTE networks (mine is a China model and they left that out because when the 5s released, all of China was only 3G, when I traveled to the US, 4G LTE wasn’t possible like it was on my old 5 that they hadn’t thought to block the faster bands)… Question: I know that evad3rs don’t want to tip their hand, but I thought I read that even if the current exploit is patched that they had two or three others that they thought wouldn’t get patched unless they were pointed out to apple somehow. If 7.1 really launches in mid-March, how long after can we expect to see the JB? estimates?

  While there are still a few vulnerabilities exploited by evasi0n7 left unpatched in 7.1, the evasi0n7 utility won’t be able to function and achieve an UnTethered jailbreak on the firmware, as it requires all of the vulnerabilities. The same thing happened with last year’s version of evasi0n for iOS 6 - 6.1.2, while only a few of the exploits were patched, the tool was rendered useless on iOS 6.1.3+. As for your second question, the evad3rs won’t burn valuable exploits on iOS 7.1+, only to have Apple patch the utility with a new minor firmware update. Instead, the team will wait until next year - after Apple releases BOTH iOS 8 and their next round of iDevices. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for additional Jailbreak coverage.
