How to Jailbreak iOS 7 – 7.0.4 Untethered Jailbreak Guide for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch https://mastergadgets.com/blog/jailbreak-ios-7-704-untethered-guide/ https://mastergadgets.com/blog/jailbreak-ios-7-704-untethered-guide/#respond Wed, 29 Jan 2014 11:18:46 +0000 http://techpackets.com/?p=1851 The Evad3rs team has released the untethered Evasi0n Jailbreak for iOS 7 latest version, i.e. for the iOS 7.0.4 for the latest iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.

The jailbreak is available for both the Windows and Mac users, and this iOS 7 Evasi0n jailbreak would work on all models running the iOS 7 various versions:

  • iOS 7.0
  • iOS 7.0.1
  • iOS 7.0.2
  • iOS 7.0.3
  • iOS 7.0.4

Now, the iOS devices which can be jailbroken using this tool, include the following.

evasi0n ios 7 jailbreak

iOS 7.0.4 Jailbreak Supported Devices

  • iPhone 5s
  • iPhone 5c
  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 4S
  • iPhone 4
  • iPad 2
  • iPad 3
  • iPad 4
  • iPad Air
  • iPad mini
  • iPad mini 2
  • iPod touch 5

Watch the Video Tutorial / Demo of this Jailbreaking Procedure :

For you to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, there are a few requirements which you must keep ready before starting the process. Check the list below.

Apple iTunes at its latest version on the PC or Mac

  • Restore to the latest version of iOS 7, i.e. the iOS 7.0.4 through the Apple iTunes after downloading the IPSW of the latest version to your computer
  • Remove all the lock passcodes or the Touch ID on your iOS device. You need to go to Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Turn Passcode Off (this is for iPhone 5S)
  • Take a backup of your data to either iCloud or your PC through Apple iTunes before starting the jailbreak process

Download iOS 7 7.0.4 Jailbreak Evasi0n 7 tool for your computer on Windows OS or Mac OS X –

Download Evasi0n for Windows
Download Evasi0n for Mac

Once you have ensured that everything is perfectly set from the above list, you need to connect your iOS device to the computer, and then start the Evasi0n 7 tool which you had downloaded.

When you start the tool, it would show whether the jailbreak for this particular device is supported or not, and then you will have to click on “Jailbreak” button to start the jailbreaking process.

There will be a set of automated steps performed by the Evasi0n tool, ad you will just have to sit back and relax while it is being done, and better not interfere while the process is going on. The process could take several minutes to complete.

Once the steps are done in the Evasi0n tool, you will have to do a couple steps as informed by it – unlock the device screen and tap the new evasi0n 7 app icon, which would be on the home screen. When tapping, don’t disconnect the iOS device from the computer. There would be a restart done automatically and once again you will have to unlock the screen of the device, after which another restart would finish the process and the screen would show a message “Done”.

iOS 7 Jailbreak Cydia

Now you can disconnect the device from the computer and then start the Cydia app which is installed in the device.

To still confirm, you can connect the phone to the computer again and open evasi0n, and you will see the message as given in the screenshot below.

iPhone 5 Jailbreak Done

The process, although easy to do, is a little risky because you might be successfully locking your iOS device until there is an unlocking process made available by one of the developers, so we suggest you to jailbreak only if you are using an iPhone which is factory unlocked, and not one which you manually unlocked using any tool.

The earlier version of Evasi0n tool had the TaiG App Stpre which is now completely removed in the new version, i.e. the Evasi0n 1.0.1 version.

* This jailbreak trick is working for even the latest beta version, i.e. the iOS 7.1 beta 3, but it’s better if you don’t try doing it in that version, because restoring to the iOS 7.0.4 is the safer option right now.

How To Play Flash Videos / Games on Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad https://mastergadgets.com/blog/play-flash-videos-apple-iphone-ipod-ipad/ https://mastergadgets.com/blog/play-flash-videos-apple-iphone-ipod-ipad/#respond Thu, 19 Dec 2013 13:42:46 +0000 http://techpackets.com/?p=1509 Play Flash Videos Apple iPhoneLong time back Steve Jobs had written a Open Letter to Adobe explaining why Apple would not allow Flash on their products like iPad, iPhone or iPod. He had blamed the performance of the flash player along with Security, Stability and called it buggy. Following which the Flash Player support had been removed from the Safari browser on iOS6 & IOS7 and now many of you who would like to access a website which has flash content should be reading the following information on how to fix this issue.

If you visit any website which has flash content in it, you would see a blank area and the player won’t be active. In order to view the flash videos or games on your Apple iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone you will have to download a free application from the store called as “Puffin Web Browser”.

Apple iPhone Safari Flash Player Issue Puffin Web Browser Search App Store

This a is a free application which comes with age-restricted material hence you need to accept the TOS and then complete the download and the installation. This is not a shortcut to enable the flash support on your Safari browser because you are going to Install a dedicated browser on your device. Following this when you run the application for the first time, you would be welcomed with the following screen. When you access the same website through which you would like to play a flash video or a flash game then you would initially get the following screen because the browser takes a while to load the content.

Puffin Browser Welcome Page Puffin Flash Content Loading

The experience would not be that good because this is a work around and not a way to get the flash player onto your device’s default browser. There are ways to get the flash on safari itself but only possible when you jailbreak your device while in this case we are going with a legitimate way of fixing this issue. You would get a screen as shown below with the content loading while the flash engine is setting up. The browser also comes with some useful options and shortcuts when you swipe on your device screen from the left to the right or vice versa.

Puffin Apple Flash Game Loading Puffin Browser Settings

The whole concept is very simple, Puffin would encapsulate remote flash technology ensuring that the end user can get the flash content on their device. Another important point to make a note is that the application is free for two weeks following which you will have to pay $2.99 for the Pro version though its not much if you would regularly want to watch the videos, movies or play games.
