Sunday is Funday iOS 7 jailbreak released with a catch.

[Gh0sti]

Earlier this morning the team you all know and loved, Evad3rs, that came out with a jailbreak for iOS 6 today released the equivilant for iOS 7. This jailbreak covers iOS version 7.0-7.1b2 and devices iPod Touch 5, iPhone 4+, iPad 2+, iPad Mini+, this does not include Apple TV 2 and 3. This is the first time iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and iPad Mini are jailbroken. However there were some troubling news with the jailbreak. According to users who are chinesed based with computers and iDevices set to Chinese they were prompted with something else installed on their devices instead of just Cydia. Taiji, a Chinese App Store like Cydia was also installed, however this blew up in the Jailbreak Community calling the Evad3rs sell outs and other speculations about the jailbreak, which is also obfuscated which allows no one to look at the code of the jailbreak so easily and the Chinese App store allowing to download Cracked Apps. In response Evad3rs released a letter of apology stating what and why happened with the Chinese App Store and why they were rushed into releasing the jailbreak so quickly and quietly

so let me get this straight, we get a chinese app store to get pirated apps? I don't see the problem in that

no, it does NOT allow you to get pirated apps, and only if you live in China.

They didn't want Taiji to have pirated apps.
They made an agreement with Taiji that there wouldn't be pirated apps there.
They didn't think Taiji had pirated apps.
They didn't actually check Taiji to see if if had pirated apps or not.
Taiji is Chinese, doesn't give a fuck, and has pirated apps.
They rolled it out as fast as possible with incomplete mobilesubstrate and cydia support because Saurik is working on his own jailbreak and they were motivated by actually getting paid by Taiji to release theirs first.
They are working on remedying this; they agreed Taiji wouldn't have pirated apps.

That's kind of a quick summary and I skipped some bits. Maybe read the thing.

Weird... on one of my iPad 2's it worked flawlessly.

The other keeps being stuck in @ the Apple logo (I didn't over the Air update...)

Even after a full restore, same thing.

The only diff is, the one is a iPad Wifi and the other a iPad 3g..

That whole "we try to make money using THIS" is kind of weird.... makes me wonder about the future of jailbreaks in general...

iPad 2 Wi-Fi doesn't work. The SDRAM on iPads have been on a separate chip from the SoC and planetbeing confirmed this.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi doesn't work. The SID is different and planetbeing confirmed this.

*facepalms....* great

One device working is enough for now.

That is because A6x+ chips don't have Mobile Substrate compatibility yet.

So much effort for such a stupid OS, I'm surprised people still use ios over android.

 

[Zerousen]

and this is why people should get an android phone.

Android users can get locked bootloaders though.

Shut your ****ing face.

I'm just saying, you're using an over priced device with a sluggish OS that lets you do little to nothing. I still would have thought people would be on android by now.
