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 The new GeekSn0w for iOS 7.1 utility is based on developer winocm’s opensn0w project that utilizes Geohot’s now-outdated limera1n bootrom exploit from 2010.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.
As mentioned above, the GeekSn0w jailbreak 7.1 utility is compatible with the following iPhone models on iOS 7.1:
Furthermore, in light of the iOS 7.1 jailbreak’s “Tethered” nature, iPhone 4 owners will be required to boot their devices Tethered every time the power is cycled. Now that you’re aware of the obvious limitations of GeekSn0w, you can continue with this tutorial to achieve a Tethered 7.1 jailbreak on your iPhone 4.

INIT FAILED (Jsyringe)! IDK WHATS WRONG!!
My apps will not work!!!
I downloaded the Geeksnow 7.1 but I can’t open the file. Error says “windows cannot open the file” - the compressed zip folder is invalid” Pls advise, thanks !
FATAL: Cannot load native libraries; make sure you’re using 32-bit JRE if on Windows! INIT FAILED (Jsyringe)! help please idk what I am doing wrong!! set java path, clean installed everything.. what gives?
I jailbreaked ok.. cydia was running etc.. now I switched my phone off and now I’m trying to boot tethered but I can’t do it.. I boot my phone normaly, start geeksn0w, click iphone 4 gsm, it ask me to put my phone into dfu mode.. one I do that it says “booting with opensn0w” but my phone screen stays black forever… any idea what i’m doing wrong here? :/
Solved! the problem was USB 3.0 port.. if you have similar problem try to connect your phone to standard usb 2.0 port. it worked for me
On my computer GeekSn0w say jre7 not install.But I have already installed.
use java x86 332bit version and set path in windows environment variable
Had a bit if trouble when I first jailbroke Iphone4. 7.1.1 missing apps no calling button etc restored my device boom all working instaled the repo for payloader works great
When click on jailbreak alert messege Don’t have jre7 even if I have installed it ready on my laptop. It mean geeksn0w not detect JRE. How to fix? I’m using win8.1 32bit and have java for 32bit.
Every time I try to download GeedSn0W I get sent to adfly page and there is NO download … Please advise!
I jailbreaked my iphone 4 with geeksnow 2.9 so its stuck on recovery mode.How do i boot my device.Please help soon
hai
I can’t open geeksn0w
Try extracting the files from the archive, right-clicking the program, and selecting Run as administrator.
have managed to get cydia now on to my phone but what do i do to make it unlock to an sim have put my new sim in but it says no service
have tried this a few time and cydia just won’t come up on my phone any idea why i’m getting fed up now and feel like throwing the phone and pc up the wall
Happens the same with me, i follow all the steps but no cydia at the end.
Can’t get to geeksnow download even after liking?
Right click outside of the box > View page source > Find on page… (Ctrl+F on PC, Command+F on Mac) > search for “Download Geeksn0w” > Click the link to the left of the highlighted text.
Still can’t get geeksn0w to download. After getting the JDK and .net files it still says not a valid win32. My only conclusion is that it may not be compatable with windows XP. Any ideas?
My solution was to uninstall java 64 bit and install 32, worked perfectly after that.
does this work for iphone 4s too? im kinda confuse, so many information about jalbreak 7.1 thats been called “fake” i dont really know what to believe. can someone tell me if this really works?
No, the iPhone 4 is the latest iPhone with a bootrom jailbreak released. Later chipsets such as the a5 and up haven’t yet been rooted with a bootrom exploit. Bootrom exploits mean the chipset itself is rootable rather than its corresponding operating system. So in short, no, the 4s is not jailbreakable.
THANKS, its seems like everyone wants to say something different, until you can’t parse between truth and fake! I’ve only ever used evasion to jailbreak, but someone is telling that I can use Redsnow. Most of the legit people whom I counted on for info aren’t saying anything.
I used redsn0w to enter DFU mode because the lock button on this iPhone doesn’t work. Now I’m stuck before the 3rd time you enter DFU mode (“Done! Put your phone in DFU Mode to continue”). Using redsn0w to enter DFU mode this 3rd time doesn’t work; iTunes comes back with “phone cannot be restored, error 21.” The iPhone has a black screen. I’m at a complete loss right now.
Don’t use a phone with a broken sleep button.
I keep getting an error when trying to download anything within the Cydia app. “sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error (2)”
Try backing up your phone, restoring the software, and rejailbreaking the clean install of the software. Tell me how it goes, Jœ
Ya instale todo solo que mi iphone 4 lo pongo en DFU no me hace jailbreak se queda en blanco el programa no avanza y ya instale todo ayuda
I had a problem in the part of java, an error message appears: “FATAL: Can not load native libraries, make sure you’re using 32-bit JRE on Windows if” The process continues indicating success, but in the end the jailbreak does not work and cydia not appear.
Same!!!
did you have success with the jailbreak? How you did?
Why can i not download geeksn0w ?? help!
Are there any error messages?
Thanks as always for all your hard work and efforts!
After downloading geeksn0w and trying to run it, it says geeksn0w isn’t a valid win32 application. I downloaded the jdk file and .net file and I still get the error.
What OS are you running?
Windows xp service pack 3. I went on and jailbroke via ios soft dev pack though it worked. Just not many updated apps in cydia.
me dice java dejo de funcionar cuando lo pongo en modo dfu y ya instale todo
I jailbreak my iphone 4 with Greeksn0w once already. after jailbreak, my iphone always stuck in recovery mode when ever i restart my iphone or reboot.
it’s a “tethered” jailbreak wich meen u have to use the option boot tethered in the geeksn0w ech time u reboot ur device
can someone send me a file of the geek snow i cant download it thanks in advance
Why can you not download it?
When comes the jailbreak for the 4S out?
Never.
good job and thanks to every hacker that help the public to always keep they’r idevices jailbroken but unfortinally i think, in the end, apple will kill all jailbreak tools and they’r be no way to jailbreak any idevice anymore( except iphone 4 and lower) cuz apple simply hate the word “jailbreak”
Ahmed is this real or fake..
When does the evation jb ios 7.1
When or if the Evasi0n team (or whoever gets there first) hits a breakthrough.
Why evad3rs doesn’t want to jailbreak ios 7.1?
Obviously, eppel is setting up a bait on Evad3rs, so they can have a jailbreak proof firmware in the future, Why would evad3rs give such to eppel? In fact, they should pay respect to evad3rs, for the team gives them jobs. I just hope the android version would spring up soon and left apple on it’s own.
Keeps telling me jre7 isn’t installed, but it is. Was it not suppose to install in Program Files\Java
ignore it, i did so and the process have complete succefuly
Iphone just stays in DFU it does not reboot to the jailbreak iv tried everything any ideas?
Did you boot it from Geeksn0w?
I have a JB 7.0.4 IP4, do I need to update to this?
well if u update ur iphone 4 to ios 7.1 u’ll have the jailbreak probléme cuz there is only a tethered way to do it but this ios 7.1 is very powerful and useful specially on the iphone 4 like speeding up the iphone… so it’s kinda hard choise
My iphone just stays in DFU Mode it Wont reboot and Geeksnow say put into DFU mode
me too
its stuck on rebooting with open snow, how do i fix it
If you are stuck at the reboot logo, you have to restore your firmware with iTunes and try to rejailbreak it. Sorry Tell me how it goes, Jœ
have the jailbreak for iPad 2 also?
No, only 7.1 break is for iPhone 4 at the moment.
Have you got a tutorial on how to jailbreak on mac via a virtual machine please? i think this would be really helpful as i don’t want to do a wrong step in the process
Awesome. A tethered jailbreak is better than no jailbreak at all. Too bad it’s only for the iPhone 4.
Great Job Great Job. Very Nice ! ! Greetings Brothers :))
Hello, is this secure for my iphone 4 and can this be used on 32gb model and is the tweaks all compatible
As long as you have an iPhone 4 running 7.1 it will work.
Thanx but the site doesnt work looks not legit, i liked the page and not working 0.O
We’re a tutorial and news site. Simply click “Download Geeksn0w” on this page and you’ll be redirected to the official Mega mirror.
Will this work on a 4S running 7.1?
I would also like to know this.
what about the download for mac?
GeekSn0w is exclusive to Windows for the time being. Once the developer releases Geeksn0w for Mac OS X, we’ll update our readers! However, you should be able to run this version in a virtual machine, provided you constantly connect your iPhone to the VM!
