Jailbreak iOS 6.1 UnTethered on iPhone 5, 4S, iPad 4, iPod touch 5 And More with Evasi0n [Video Tutorial]
Jailbreak 6.1 iOS UnTethered on iPhone 5, 4S, iPad 4, iPod touch 5 and More with Evasi0n Tutorial - Today, the Evad3rs (the new dev team behind the untethered iOS 6 jailbreak) released their Evasi0n Jailbreak utility. The new Evasion jailbreaking tool functions on Apple’s latest version of iOS: 6.1, while also supporting the older 6.1, 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 firmwares. For those iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners who have been eagerly following MuscleNerd, pod2g, planetbeing and pimskek’s progress this past week, this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for.
The Evasi0n Jailbreak is compatible with all devices running 6.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.1 or iOS 6, which includes the following:
- iPhone 5
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3Gs
- iPad with A6X chip (4th gen)
- iPad 3
- iPad 2
- iPad mini
- iPod touch 5
- iPod touch 4
- Apple TV 2nd generation (unfortunately, the third gen isn’t supported by Evasi0n)
Thanks to weeks of hard and tireless work, the Evad3rs Dev Team finally issued their all-new Evasion Jailbreak tool to the public and jailbreaking is now easier than ever. Evasi0n features an incredibly simple and straightforward GUI (graphical user interface), which enables users to easily administer the code required for an untethered jailbreak to either their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Apple TV. If you feel as though you’ve been stuck on iOS 6 through 6.1 for far too long, continue reading our complete and in-depth jailbreak tutorial for step-by-step instructions on how to use the evasi0n tool to achieve full Untethered status.
Important Jailbreak Prerequisite:
Before we begin, if you wish to speed up the process and eliminate the possibility of encountering any errors, you’ll need to follow the simple restore procedure listed below - if you updated to any version of iOS 6 via Apple’s over-the-air (OTA) update feature, you must complete this tutorial before continuing.
- Initiate a full backup of your iDevice via iTunes before jailbreaking your iPhone, iPod or iPad.
- Retore to Apple’s latest 6.1 firmware and continue. You should wait to restore your data until the jailbreak is complete.
- Also, if your device has a passcode set, ensure that it’s disabled before following the instructions listed below.
How to Use Evasi0n For an iOS 6.1 UnTethered Jailbreak
Step 1: Download Evasi0n from our download page to ensure that you have an authentic version of the tool.
Step 2: Once Evasion has been downloaded in its entirety, extract the contents using the same method you would for any ordinary zip file (Mac users needn’t worry, as OS X automatically un-zips files). At this point we strongly advise that you place the files on your desktop for ease of use.
Step 3: To continue through the jailbreaking process, connect your device to a computer via an official Apple USB cable.
Step 4: Run the Evasi0n utility by launching the executable file downloaded in the first step. Once opened, you’ll be greeted by a basic window that features some useful text and a “Jailbreak” button.
Step 5: If your iOS-based device was connected successfully, as listed in Step 3, the Jailbreak button will be clickable. Press the main button to initiate the untether jailbreak process.
Due to the jailbreak method employed by evasi0n, your device may look as if it’s restoring - don’t be alarmed, in actuality, it’s simply transferring the required jailbreak files.
Step 6: At this point, the on-screen Evasi0n progress bar should display the active steps, it’s crucial that you refrain from touching your device, as it may interfere with the jailbreak process.
Step 7: When prompted by evasi0n, click unlock your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and tap the Jailbreak icon once.
Step 8: After the final process is complete, and your device has returned to its familiar lock screen, you’ll be greeted with the welcomed Cydia icon in what was once a blank springboard space. Congratulations, your device is now successfully jailbroken untethered and you’ll be able to install your favorite packages, tweaks and modifications from Cydia, provided they include support for your specific device.

Simplicity and ease of use are incredibly important with any product or application, the Evasi0n Jailbreak utility is no exception.

After jailbreaking my iPhone 4, I could no longer send or receive picture messages. Why is that? Is there any way to fix it?
Try disabling MMS in the Messages portion of your Settings app, resetting your network settings and re-enabling MMS - hope this helps!
It worked for a few minutes, but stopped working again after I installed Handcent. Could that be the problem? Is there anything else I can do?
I get an error message when attempting to install packages in Cydia now. They say “I wasn’t able to locate file for the openssl package. This might mean you eed to manually fix this package.” I’ve indicated that I am only a user in the installation process of the jailbreak.
Cydia may still encounter issues due to the enormous strain on Saurik’s servers.
Does this jailbreak unlock the sprint iPhone 4s? Or if not will my gevey ultra s for iOS 5 work with iOS 6 ?
No, it only Jailbreaks your iPhone. Check Gevey’s site for compatibility.
Thanks guys…i really appreciate this tool. works like a charm. Cydia had still had some issues to io6 though.

So if you back via iCloud it wont work?
Hi guys, I found some bugs within iPhones after jailbreaking. I found out that the weather app doesn’t work, and that when you keep on respringing to find the right theme from winter board, it will crash and when it shuts off by itself, you will not be able to turn it back on (stuck at apple logo). So I had to put it in restore mode ( which is, holding the home button and still holding the home button, turning on the device). SO ANOTHER REMINDER, BACKUP YOUR (iPod, iPhone, iPad,etc.)
iphone 3gs 32gb, bb 5.13.04.
can unlock with ultrasn0w?
untethered jailbreak confirmed?
i downloaded the evasion but it? will not open on my macbook! help i need my jailbreak!.
Try re-downloading.
Does this enable you to change the IMEI number of my iphone
IF i had an IPhone 4 without any service; will this jailbreak work?
Yes, if you activate it first.
I have turbo sim iphone 4 on ios 4.3.3
Should I update to ios 6.1 would that be untethered jailbreakable..??
Check compatibility with the Hardware Unlock manufacturer.

hi..
already did the JB tutorial
now on process after the “welcome to cydia”
but now its stuck in Evasi0n icon with the word “FINDING OFFSETS”
Try a hard reboot. Hold down the home and power buttons together until you see the Apple logo.
also jb lost battery usage statistics
That’s always been the case, even from the first Jailbreak! Unfortunately, there’s no avoiding it.
Do we need to take the backup for shsh blob ? If so tiny unbrella, or any other suggestion……
Never mind,my baseband cant be unlocked
