These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, or iPad mini on iOS 7.0 to iOS 7.0.6 (7.1 beta 1 and beta 2 work as well) using Evasi0n for Mac.

Before we begin, please make sure you have no passcode lock on your device (you can add it back after the jailbreak is applied). If you previously updated OTA, you must do a full backup then re-restore.

Step One
Connect your iPad to your computer then perform a manual backup of your iPad using these instructions.


Step Two
Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop and then download the latest version of evasi0n into the folder. Here are the Evasi0n Download Links. If you have an iPad 2, be sure to use the latest version of evasi0n otherwise you will be stuck in a boot loop!

Additionally, we recommend you download the latest iOS 7.0.6 firmware for your device into the Pwnage folder. The evad3rs suggest a full restore before performing the jailbreak. Here are the iPad Firmware Download Links

Step Three
Double click the Evasi0n dmg file from the Pwnage folder on your desktop to mount it.

I have the same problem. From what I understand is 7.1 on the ipad 4th gen and or iphone jailbreak will not work simply because of the 11d167 firmware. I could be wrong on this which I hope I am. If you know of something different from what I know. Please email me.

People really need a tutorial for this? Evasi0n tells you what to do as it's injecting the jailbreak, But I guess there is people that really don't know how to follow simple instructions though

Everyone on still on MacOs X Snow Leopard or lower do not even think about it. Evasion runs only on MacOx X 10.7 and up. I didn't read the read me before I updated my iPad and surprise surprise no jailbreak for me...

Works for me! Make sure you read all the instructions on evasi0n.com because they specially said no OTA installed iDevices.... Yup. Make sure you restore using iTunes, and make sure it's between the ...correct versions of iOS... and make sure it's an updated version of evasion, and also make sure that the download is not corrupted.

I figured it out. iPad 3, set up as a new iPad, then jailbreak, THEN restore from backup, THEN jailbreak again and it works

Evasi0n app quits on rootfs. No cydia on iPad

At step Fourteen evasi0n crashes and (shows modify rootfs, then quits) When I then click on the evasi0n icon (doesn't say Cydia), it just hangs on a white screen. Anyone else have that problem?

Ok ... am I missing something. Jailbreak went fine but when I "restore from backup" Cydia disappears.

Ipad 2 jailbreak is working however, after reboot it takes a long time i have to plug in the computer and it turns on to normal. Anyone has the same problem like me? Thank you jailbreak team to fix the boot reloop problem on ipad 2.

Jailbroke the iPad Mini no problem... Except that Jailbreak apps are not highlighted on the springboard once I install them, any ideas? Thx.

This is starting to suck. I bet they have no incentive to fix the iPad 2 jailbreak now that they're "no longer partners with Taig."
