BigBoss, of the BigBoss Cydia Repository, is warning jailbreakers who have yet to update to iOS 7.0.4 to update to the firmware before Apple releases an update blocking the evasi0n jailbreak.

Now that iOS7 has been jailbroken, it is advised that anyone that ever wants to be on iOS 7.0.4 *ever* gets there very soon. Speculation is that Apple will release an update soon and when that occurs, they will stop signing 7.0.4. Users will have a limited time window to get onto iOS7 and be jailbreakable. Further, reports are that evasi0n only runs on a freshly restored 7.0.4 rather than one a device that got to 7.0.4 via “software update”. So if you have not done so yet, now is the time to backup your device in iTunes, restore it to a fresh 7.0.4, and keep it on ios7.0.4.

The iClarified tutorials for jailbreaking already provide instructions on how to get to iOS 7.0.4 safely. You can find them listed below or via the iClarified Jailbreak Wizard.

TUTORIALS:

● How to Jailbreak Your iPad Air, 4, 3, 2, Mini on iOS 7 Using Evasi0n (Windows)
● How to Jailbreak Your iPod Touch 5G on iOS 7 Using Evasi0n (Mac)
● How to Jailbreak Your iPod Touch 5G on iOS 7 Using Evasi0n (Windows)

We'll let you know as soon as Apple makes an updates but we would also suggest updating to the latest firmware before its too late.

@updatewhenevs, that method stopped working a long time ago for 4s and up, or maybe 5 and up. Either way, it's a no go now.

Omg, but I need to update to 7.0.4 while preserving baseband :(

James - January 3, 2014 at 6:40pm

with SHSH backed up with tiny umbrella can't ip5 users update to it whenever?

iPhone 4/4s should not be upgrade to IOS 7 as it will make the device slow and your WiFi will be unusable. Stay on iOS 6 either you're jailbreak or not. Don't fall into Apple's trap.

Mark T - January 2, 2014 at 10:14am

Not true for 4s: Ios 7 works like a charm on my 4s

Kevn - January 2, 2014 at 2:14pm

I don't have an iPhone 4, but I'm sure iOS 7 runs smooth on that device. Just upgrade your 4 and let me know how it runs. Then I'll know if I should upgrade my 4S.

Paklan - January 2, 2014 at 2:26pm

Lucky you then, some are not so lucky after updating to iOS 7 on their iPhone 4/4S.

Tariq - January 2, 2014 at 3:40pm

I hv IP4 32GB GSM officially unlocked. Sucesfuly JB** on IOS 7.0.4, running very smoothly. No problem at all.

Thatguy - January 2, 2014 at 8:33pm

Actually, 7.0.4 works great on my iphone 4s, jailbroken w Evasi0n. You sir, are full of it

Raniel - January 3, 2014 at 6:51am

It doesn't run smoothly on Iphone 4 but i think it would run smooth on Iphone 4s i want to roll back to ios 6.x.x if i can but i can't because i dont have any shsh for that so im stuck on ios 7 now and i kinda regret it coz my games lags.

iOS 7.0.4 runs faster/better than 5.1.1 on the iPhone 4 & MUCH better than 6.1.3! The trick is simple, you must turn off/on several things, choose as needed: Location Services System Services: Location-Based iAds, Popular Near Me, Setting Time Zone, Traffic, Frequent Locations. Diagnostics & Usage Siri (runs in the background all the time) Bluetooth Wi-Fi (esp if phone is not in range of wi-fi) Use 2G When Possible instead of 3G Cellular Data Connection In Bad Coverage Areas Background App Refresh Parallax Automatic Date / Time Push Mail / Push Notifications Running Background Apps Advertising Tracking Diagnostics & Usage Reporting FaceTime Automatic App Store Updates Automatic Downloads AirDrop Running iTunes Match Turn Reduce Motion ON Turn Increase Contrast ON The evasi0n jailbreak has given my iPhone 4 a new lease on life!

So wait.. Does that mean if I don't update my iPad now (which is stil running the original 6.0) I won't be able to update it to 6.1.2 or 7.0.4 when iOS 7.1 comes out?

d0n S3lf - January 2, 2014 at 12:20am

That's correct. If 7.1 comes out, you can't upgrade to 7.0.* anymore. The only option will be to go to 7.1. If you want to use 7.0.4, now is your chance. Not for the sake of having 7.0.4, but to jailbeak iOS 7. If you are on iOS 7.0.3, it's not a good idea to go to 7.0.4, because it has a battery drain issue. Someone said he fixed it by turning off IE sync in iCloud. Others say you also need a full reinstall to kill the process that drains the battery.

d0n S3lf - January 1, 2014 at 10:44pm

Bullshit. Why would I "upgrade" to the battery-draining, buggy 7.0.4 for a buggy Evasi0n if I can stay on my efficient 7.0.3? No way in hell I'm going to 7.0.4. The next update will be 7.1. If that means no (buggy) jailbreak, so be it. Those themes and background apps slow down the device and drain battery anyway. I tried Evasi0n 1.0.1 but the status bar issue ruined everything.

You are such a richard.

d0n S3lf - January 2, 2014 at 12:13am

What's a richard?

Joe Mama - January 2, 2014 at 6:12am

Richard = Dick

samt65 - January 1, 2014 at 9:33pm

this is my first jailbreak since a year ago and wow!!!cydia and tweaks have gotten better!!!!!

samt65 - January 1, 2014 at 9:30pm

be sure to install **software update killer ** from cydia to block future updates and also to save storage space!!!!!

Ter - January 1, 2014 at 10:09pm

Isn't really needed to block. Check for update wont work when you jailbroken 7.04 anyways.

samt65 - January 1, 2014 at 10:18pm
