If you are using a jailbreak on your iOS device then you probably already know that whenever a new version of iOS is released, you are always advised against downloading and installing it straight away. A minor release of iOS 7.0.6 has been released and we are happy to report that this latest firmware release hasn't been patched and your Evasi0n jailbreak will still work.
Jailbreak developer Winocm has confirmed on Twitter that no jailbreak patch exists in this new firmware release and therefore an update to the Evasi0n jailbreak tool by Evad3rs with 7.0.6 support will be released. If you are a jailbreak enthusiast and you want to jailbreak iOS 7.0.6 right away on your iPhone or iPad without waiting, you can do this right now by following the steps listed below.
Before you jump ahead, it is worth pointing out that this process does involve modifying the existing version of of Evasi0n7, which currently sits at v1.0.5, with a Hex editing software to make it compatible with iOS 7.0.6. The process is fairly easy and it works on both Windows and Mac. All iOS devices are also supported with this jailbreak for iOS 7.0.6.
The first thing you need to do is download iOS 7.0.6 for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The next thing is to download Evasi0n7 v1.0.5 for Windows or Mac. If you are using a Mac you will also need to download the app called HexEdit. If you are using Windows you can download Hex Editor Neo. Both apps are free. Once you have all this completed, you need to start the Hex Editing program, select the Evasi0n7 file and then open Evasi0n 7 > Contents > MacOS > Evasi0n7. Hit CMD+F on your Mac's keyboard to bring up the �find� dialog window. On Windows you can press CTRL+F to get this.
The next step is important. You need to search for �11B511� and then replace it with �11B651�. 11B651 is the build number which iOS 7.0.6 carries. You need to keep in mind the the search is case sensitive so make sure you use the capital letters as are detailed here. When complete, go to the �File� menu on top and click save. You can close the Hex editor window now.
That's it, Evasi0n7 will now identify the just released iOS 7.0.6 firmware file. You can now use the usual steps to jailbreak your device using Evasion7. Once you are done, you should have Cydia up and running on your iOS 7.0.6 device. You can of course wait for the latest version of Evasi0n7 which we expect will be released tomorrow.
