Not much time has come from the date of untethered iOS 7 jailbreak release for iPhone 5S, 5c, new iPad and older iPod touch models. The program contained a lot of bugs but hackers continue working on their utility and improving their jailbreak for iOS 7 devices.
Users who hurried to jailbreak their smartphone or tablet earlier this week are now left with almost no Cydia tweaks for this firmware and especially for A7 gadgets. Developers didn’t expect such soon launch of the jailbreaking tool so no one was actually ready for it. The surprise by the Evad3rs became a real Christmas gift to the jailbreaking community.
The first release installed the Chinese app store instead of Cydia so hackers had to respond to the piracy accusations. That part of the tool was quickly removed with devs’ explanation of the problem through the public letter.
It’s for sure that the number of iOS 7 tweaks and programs will soon increase. Developers are expected to upgrade their apps to support 64-bit chip used in the latest iPad and iPhone models. Users with previous generation iDevices are also out of luck for now as they also see the limited number of applications they can download from third-party companies.
Mobile Substrate should become updated to the newest processor to simplify the process of making all the apps compatible with the faster processor.
Here is the list of the most common iOS 7 jailbreak issues [problems] you can face while trying to untethered your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
- Apple logo boot loop is experience by a number of users after jailbreaking procedure
- iOS 7 tweaks fail to work properly on the jailbroken devices
- Some Mac owners can’t launch Evasi0n7 tool on their machines
- A lot of people get stuck during the jailbreak and can’t proceed to the next step
- iPad 2 Wi-Fi model often fails to be jailbroken
There are other problems as well. Most of them are fixed or to be fixed in the next Evasi0n 7 updates that are to follow the 1.0.1 presentation which mostly deleted the app store from China and didn’t provide other major changes.
Hackers promise soon upgrades with problems being solved.
