Iphone 5 Jailbreak

Phone 5 jailbreak aficionados are left with questions regarding the compatibility of recent software updates iOS 6.1.3 and iOS 6.1.4 with the jailbreak platform, the plans going forward for jailbreak teams Evasi0n and Redsn0w, and whether their chances of a successful jailbreak would be better off it they downgraded to an iPhone 4S instead. All the answers are right here, and while some of them are less optimistic than others, particularly when it comes to compatibility, we’ll set you straight and clear up all your iPhone 5 jailbreaking questions.

Can the iPhone 5 be jailbroken? Yes, but only if it’s running iOS 6.1.2 or lower. If you’ve already updated it to a newer version like iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 there’s nothing you an do. Downgrading the software won’t help, and your only option would be to auction off your iPhone 5 and replace it with someone else’s used iPhone 5 still running the older system software. Are iPhone 4S users any better off in the jailbreak compatibility department? No, it’s the same story as with the iPhone 5. What are jailbreak teams like Evasi0n and Redsn0w going to do about it? Nothing for the time being. Evasi0n’s most recent jailbreak is for iOS 6.1.2 while RedSn0w has been dormant even longer, with its last release at iOS 6.1. As of the release of iOS 6.1.3 they both stated they were planning to skip it in favor of waiting for iOS 7. Last month’s subsequent release of iOS 6.1.4 has yet to garner a response out of either team, creating the expectation that they’re still planning to wait for iOS 7. - See more at: http://www.stableytimes.com/news/iphone-5-4s-jailbreak-answers-ios-6-1-3-6-1-4-evasi0n-redsn0w/#sthash.fNoXfloA.dpuf
