Step One - Download Jailbreak To enjoy the smoothest, most successful jail breaking process, you will need to choose a high-quality Jailbreak software tool. During Step One, download a preferred program which is designed to match with your personal computer's operating system (Mac OS or Windows) In addition, take the time to research prospective programs, in order to choose a software download that is a proven winner. Download Below for Mac or Windows.
Step Two - Exit the iTunes App
By exiting iTunes, you’ll ensure that your jailbreaking job is easy, dependable and pleasant. Since the iTunes application has the ability to interfere with a software tool’s capacity to get the job done right, it’s vital to quit iTunes. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be ready for Step Three.Step Three - Run the Installer
To finish Step Three, you’ll need to visit the directory where you stashed your unlocking software file. You may find this installer via your personal computer’s administrative settings.Step Four - Connect your iPhone to your Computer
Step Four will occur when you link your smart phone to your personal computer. You may do this easily by using a USB cable. To make this step happen, attach one end of the cable to your cell phone, and then attach the other end to the USB port of your PC.Step Five - Let your PC Detect your Device
Your home computer should detect your iPhone without any prompting from you, as long as you’ve worked through Step Four as per the instructions. Once your PC detects the Apple smart phone, click the button that initiates the jailbreaking procedure.
During Step Six, it’s time to sit back and relax, as your chosen software tool initializes. You will not need to do anything while this is happening. During Step Six, your software program will also reboot your iPhone. So, wait until you receive a message that confirms that action.Step Seven - Complete the Process
During the final step, the jailbreaking process will be completed. The entire process should happen automatically. When you receive a “done” message, you will probably also spot a logo for Evasi0n. In addition, you may view a Cydia option.

Important! Read me!
- Warning! Over The Air updates of iOS 8 are known to cause issues and jailbreak failure. Some devices are then stuck on the Apple Boot Logo. It's now too late to undo your OTA and restore to 7.0.6, but please remember this the next time around.
- Backup your device using iTunes (or iCloud) before using evasi0n. If something breaks, you'll always be able to recover your data.
- Please disable the lock passcode of your iOS device before using evasi0n. It can cause issues.
- Avoid all iOS and iTunes related tasks until evasi0n is complete. Why not just enjoy a brief break from the computer to stretch your legs?
- If the process gets stuck somewhere, it's safe to restart the program, reboot the device (if necessary by holding down Power and Home until it shuts down), and rerun the process.
- If you get an error on OS X 10.8/10.9 saying that evasi0n can't be opened, control-click (or right-click) the app and on the revealed context menu, choose 'Open.' On the ensuing dialogue box, choose 'Open' as well.
- Some Cydia tweaks are not yet compatible with iOS 7. The situation will improve as developers will update their software.
