Official IOS6 Jailbreak Status Thread

[Inked adrenaline]

In the website, it says under the requirements that i must have An iPhone, iPad or iPod running iOS 6.0 through 6.1..

What does running through iOS 6.0 through 6.1 means?

You must be on iOS 6.0,6.0.1,or 6.1

No. There are no known viruses in the wild which could infect an iPad or iPhone, whether jailbroken or not.

Don't forget 6.0.2.

It means you can be running ANY version of 6.x firmware released so far to date in order to jailbreak your device

We have lots and lots of good sticky threads and articles in the Hacking Section and our Sub-forums, and I would recommend folks take the time between now and the release of the jailbreak to review as many of them as you can. There really is a wealth of information there...

Here is a great place to start for anyone new to jailbreaking - http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...ydia-beginners-guide-jailbreak-app-store.html

Fortunately, because the next jailbreak will work on the "current" version of IOS at this time (6.1), everyone will have a cushion during which time they can easily restore their device and re-jailbreak if they really muck things up for whatever reason. Mucking up a jailbreak so you need to restore is quite difficult, but folks still manage it, normally because they do things that they don't understand properly. For example, because they have access to the full file system of the iPad, they start to delete parts of the operating system :O

The interesting question will be, how long will Apple allow the jailbreak exploits to remain active before they release 6.1.1?
This could be anywhere from a few days, to many weeks, but you can be sure they will patch the vulnerabilities eventually.
As soon as a revision to IOS is out which blocks one or more of the exploits, then folks will have to manage their jailbreaks VERY carefully. As lots of members here can testify, one very careless move can result in you having to restore your device and lose the ability to jailbreak, at least until a dev-team releases a new jailbreak for that version!
There were lots of folks who messed up their 5.0.1 jailbreak and had to wait a while until the 5.1.1 jailbreak came out to get their jailbreak back!

We are all anxiously waiting the jailbreak, in the meantime everyone should take f4780y's advise above and check out the threads and stickies about jailbreaking.

Please don't bombard this thread with the status from the evasi0n site which all of us can see simply by visiting the website ourselves.

Take this time to refreshen your memory or learn something new about the jailbreak so that when it's released you can get straight into it!

Happy Jailbreaking!

Seriously?? This is forum. People should be able to freely write thoughts, opinions and feed backs w/o getting hassled. It's not like anyone's being rude, inconsiderate with poor morals.


You guys have to loosen up a little.

You didn't need to take that personally it was a general statement for everyone, no need to be upset. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I agree absolutely. This tread will gain his purpose especially after release off jailbreak. Problems after jailbreak, advices..etc. will be useful. Posting simple information that is available in EvasiOn is quite useless....

So...my iPad 2 is still on iOS 6.0, do I upgrade it to 6.1 for the jailbreak, or keep it at 6.0?

You can do either

But seeing as how 6.1 is the latest and its jailbreakable then I'd say update to the latest

The choice is yours however.

The jailbreak is available for iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2 and 6.1
