Version 1.2 of evasi0n iOS 6 Untethered Jailbreak Tool Released, Cydia Package Updated

[Anthony Bouchard]

The hacker team known as evad3rs have pushed an update to the iOS 6 untethered jailbreak tool called evasi0n. The updated tool is now version 1.2. The evad3rs have also updated the evasi0n untethered 6.0-6.1 package in Cydia, which is now version 0.3-1.

According to the change log, version 1.2 of evasi0n fixes a problem with the time zone when it’s not corrected by the client, and disables OTA (over the air) updating for the device it’s installed on.

By disabling the OTA updating feature, users will not be notified of iOS 6.1.1 when it is released to the public. iOS 6.1.1 went into its first beta for developers to test on Wednesday. The iOS 6.1.1 update does not patch evasi0n just yet, but hackers have predicted that a future beta version might patch the evasi0n jailbreak before the update is released to the public. It would be a miracle if it didn’t.

If you’re not jailbroken yet, you should run the latest evasi0n jailbreak (version 1.2) to jailbreak your device. If you’re already jailbroken, you only need to install the updated evasi0n package from Cydia, which will appear when you refresh your Cydia sources.

The recently released evasi0n version 1.1 fixes the problem with the Weather application crashing and with the long boot times occurring. The updated evasi0n Cydia package (version 0.3-1) and updated evasi0n jailbreak tool (version 1.2) include these fixes as well.

You can download the updated evasi0n tool from the evasi0n Web site, and view our guide on how to jailbreak with evasi0n from this link.

Meaning you have pirated apps with app sync installed, restore your phone and do NOT use app sync, or it will break it once again, devs have tweeted about it many times.

so, do we need to un-install "Software Update Killer" now, so that there won't be conflicts?

Actually, I restored then jailbreak again with ver 1.1 and before getting app sync I checked the weather app and it worked, the I installed app sync and the weather app still works, oh and I have iphone 5 if that helps.

That doesn't mean they have app sync on their device. My weather app crashed after installing Winterboard. As soon as I uninstalled it, it started working again. No need to jump to conclusions.....

i uninstalled it just to be safe

[Sfarijo]

I had same problem Chris.
I uninstalled software update killer, rebooted then installed again, now it seems I'm good.

[Sfarijo]

I re-installed update killer after update I should've added.

There won't be any conflict, but yes you can uninstall it.

Great update. How do these hackers and saurik make money ? Purely donations? Ads???

Sigh...I jailbroke two devices, a CDMA and a GSM i5. My CDMA i5 has the weather app issue and the other one didn't... I was hopeful that this would fix it.

This update has nothing to do with the weather issue. They fixed that in the 1.1 release. If you are still having issues after that it is well documented now why that is. Unfortunately it is not as well known that talking about that "tweak" is not allowed on MMi.

For anyone looking to respond to this with regard to warez, please don't. I am not judging anyone who has that installed on their device, it's your device, what you do with it is your business, not ours. We do ask that you respect the rules of this site though if you are going to post here.

iPhone 5 here. Evasion 1.0 broke weather app even after update to 1.1 on cydia unless I uninstalled .

Restored my iPhone and jail broke it using evasion 1.1 and now weather works fine even with installed
