Apple has released iOS 7.1 and with this they plugged the jailbreak exploits that made the previous Evasi0n untethered jailbreak possible. This has meant that jailbreakers have had to stick with iOS 7.0.x or upgrade and give up their jailbreak and access to Cydia. The pre iOS 7.1 efforts by the Evad3rs team must be commended and they haven't given up yet. Seasoned hacker Winocm has just released a video of iOS 7.1 booting untethered.
What we do know about Winocm is that he tends to look at older devices and pieces of firmware and it looks like he has used an iPhone 4 powered by the Apple A4 processor in his video. The older models are easier to hack and of course less relevant than the more recent devices. Nevertheless, this is great progress and it really does give us hope for an eventual jailbreak for iOS 7.1. If nothing else, this video show that work is being done to try and find exploits.
It is worth remembering, that the jailbreak community are becoming less and less vocal about their findings so as not to give too much away in their ongoing battle with Apple. So while this video is a promising insight, it doesn't necessarily mean that an iOS 7.1 jailbreak will be released to the public. This video could however mean that a jailbreak for iOS 7.1 could be made available for those using A4 devices. You can check out Winocm's video below and in the meantime, if you have a jailbroken device using the Evasi0n jailbreak, do not update to iOS 7.1.
