I jailbroke my iPad Air, Mini, and iPhone 5s as soon as it came out. So glad its out. At least this will give those iPhone 4 users one last version with jailbreak since they aren't getting iOS8

Good point!

I ran the JB on a windows box. iPhone is working fine on it but all I really wanted was BiteSMS, TetherMe, and Flux. Debating if I should JB my iPad 3. In the past I have not found much useful in having a JB iPad. Perhaps just Flux.

If you jail broke your iPad, what apps did you install?

I plan on it, my iPad Mini is on iOS 7.0.4.

Is it worth upgrading to 7.1.1?

Well, the difference between iOS 7.0 and 7.1 is like night and day on my iPad 3. Not so much on my iPhone 5, but still better no doubt.

I actually don't feel the need to jailbreak. The only reason may be to install a torrent client but my QNAP is getting remotely controlled so that's a non issue.

 

Can anyone list few other benefits of jailbreak these days?

 

xbmc, bitesms, f.lux, tetherme, barrell 2, sbsettings, heavily customize the whole interface, password protect folders, iblacklist/call management. I'm sure I'm missing some other great jailbreak-only apps & features.

I switched to Auki over BiteSMS, MUCH cleaner and works flawlessly without ads, etc. 

 

The only thing I install on my iPad Air is: 

 

Clear Background Apps

ColorBadges

Movie Box

Springtomize 3 - iOS 7

 

Thats it for my iPad.. You really don't need a lot anymore and as you can see those are just cosmetic.. Doesn't have to be there

 

For my iPhone 5s:

 

Auki

ayeris

clear background apps

colorbadges

iFile

Springtomize 3 - iOS 7

Winterboard

Thanks to @kernelpool for sharing how to attack iOS 7 early_random() PRNG.

Also, we learned skills from evasi0n7 by @evad3rs

so I guess the question is, for those of us already jailbroken any reason to use this to "update" or is there no need

 

No need, the untether package will be updated via Cydia soon for folks like yourself.

Not out yet, though.  From the Reddit, they said they would need a few days to compile it and put it up on Cydia.  I'm not having any issues, so I'm fine with waiting.

 

Must say, not sure if it was the clean 7.1.1 installation or what but my iPhone 5 has been buttery smooth.

Hence why I said "soon".

7.1.2 did not patch any of the exploits from 7.1 and 7.1.1

 

Like we guessed. Only Esser liked to believe these exploits mattered for iOS 7.1.x or even 8 for that matter. 7.1.x will never be patched, even if there's a 7.1.3 or even a .4 release and iOS 8 was going to be patched anyway.

Not to go to off topic, but has anyone found a way to downgrade to iOS 6 using the jailbreak/cydia/etc? I saw they were able to use "other peoples" SHSH blobs on a iPhone 4, but if you press the power button to lock the phone it blacks out the screen and puts it into DFU mode and you're only option is to upgrade back to iOS 7 again....which is a no can do in terms of leaving the screen on all day. :S

Cant do because you would not be able to use the device. Apple has locked out old versions installation signing.

  • 2 weeks later...

Do you know if this "update package" should show up automatically as an update in cydia (as in previous jailbreaks) or do I need to seek it out?  Still not sure I understand if I need it or not.  Thanks.

 

If it does, will show up in Cydia as an update.

Does doing this procedure force a device wipe/update to be required to install?

 

Or can a person just "hack-and-go" ...

 

What are you referring to?  The Jailbreak?  Most jailbreakers agree that a clean firmware installation is best practice prior to installing a jailbreak (if that is what you are asking about).

What are you referring to?  The Jailbreak? 

Yeah that's what I referred to.

I asked because we run supervised devices at work, and in the past users have had to reinstall the firmware or at the least the jailbreak removes the profiles so we can easily remove the jailbreak by re-running the supervision'd firmware on the device.

 

If this jailbreak can be done without affecting that, we'll have to do a bit more digging...

yeah but you do not have to.. Most of your general population never do that. Heck, something like 60% never back their phones up or have even plugged them into iTunes.

Well, backups and insuring I minimize my risk to a buggy jailbreak experience is absolutely paramount to me. Haste makes waste.

But your figure doesn't surprise me.

    • Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
