If you jumped on-board the Evasi0n bandwagon to jailbreak iOS 6 / iPhone 5 last Monday, chances are high that you have been experiencing a number of small issues with how your iOS device performs. Thanks to the Evad3rs team – the people behind the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak – another update has just been pushed out to the Evasi0n untether package on Cydia and the jailbreak tool itself, ensuring that a lot of small bugs are ironed out for a smoother jailbreak experience for new users.
The ongoing cat-and-mouse battle between Apple and the jailbreak scene took a huge swing in favor of the latter on Monday, with the release of the Evasi0n jailbreak tool. Not only did it offer a solution for every iOS device on the market, the jailbreak was also untethered in nature, meaning once the jailbreak was applied, users could enjoy an uninterrupted experience. With the release of iOS 6.1.1 beta 1 for developers, it was presumed Apple had - as it tends to do with all jailbreaks - patched the hole allowing for the userland exploit and subsequent jailbreak, but in short, they haven't, though they will likely patch it in the next beta or at least before iOS 6.1.1 is public.
The Evad3rs team finally gave jailbreakers the moment they’d been waiting for by releasing the Evasi0n jailbreak on Monday, and while the general response has been positive, some users have born the brunt of one or two teething issues. Soon after the almost to-the-second countdown release of the untethered jailbreak, it emerged that some - namely those jailbreaking their iPhone - were experiencing problems with the stock Weather app, but thankfully, the Evad3rs team has come through with a swift fix via Cydia.
We live in a world where things invariably go wrong from time-to-time, especially when injecting complicated jailbreaks onto our iOS hardware that is made up of various different exploits being forced to work together. Not everyone seems to be affected by the Weather app crashing on the iPhone after running the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak, but if you are one of the affected ones, then we have an interim fix for those who want it rectified before an official installation solution is offered through Cydia.
The iOS 6 / 6.1 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 5 and other devices is well and truly here, and thanks to its userland nature; jailbreaking your iOS device on the aforementioned firmware is a walk in the park.
Those looking to jailbreak their iOS devices can rejoice, since a new tool named Evasi0n has just been released by the Evad3rs team which allows for an iOS 6.1 untethered jailbreak on almost all of the devices.
The Evasi0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 / iOS 6.1 is tantalizingly close now, and with Sunday's almost certain release date fast approaching, the Evasi0n website has been updated once more. Touting the process of preparing the jailbreak tools for public consumption as 75% complete, the Evad3ers team has now begun rolling the Windows and Mac tools to a private pool of beta testers.

Can't contain your excitement for the upcoming untethered iOS 6 jailbreak? We've seen the excitement and enthusiasm in the jailbreak community rising steadily in the last few weeks, eventually reaching boiling point yesterday when the Evad3rs team officially lifted the lid on the Evasi0n jailbreak. While we will need to exercise just a little more patience until we can get our hands on the public release of Evasi0n, the team have happily announced that things are progressing nicely for all the supported platforms.
If you've been following the iOS 6 jailbreak saga, you'll know that things haven't run as smoothly this time around as with previous iOS releases. But with so many talented individuals on the case, it was only going to be a matter of time, and with this Sunday being the day of the Super Bowl, it would appear as though the Evad3rs team will be ready to drop an untethered jailbreak for those on iOS 6.x, making for a great weekend all around.
Earlier on today, Apple released the final version of iOS 6.1 to the public. Before you get your greasy paws on it, you might be wondering if you can already jailbreak. That is indeed possible with a tethered jailbreak using the latest version of Redsn0w.
