MobileSubstrate 0.9.5000 has been pushed for iOS 7 full support and ARM 64 architecture support. iPhone 5S, Air and iPad Mini w/ Retina can install this build safely. Not all tweaks will work even with the new MobileSubstrate. Still proceed with caution when installing packages.
It's fixed for me (iPad 2 Wifi), had no issues so far (been jailbroken for couple of hours)

First post is a little confusing & a little misleading at first.. Because at the top it says it's not possible to JB iOS 7, But you can. I know you have updated the post with new info, But it's all the way down the bottom of that HUGE OP post. IMO, having the most recent updates posted at the top of the post because that's were you would start reading, Not from the bottom & up..

Several Cydia tweaks that did not work for me before the Cydia Substrate update now seem to be. Some include: iKeywi HD, Barrell, and BT Mouse & Keyboard. I'm back in business with apps I used daily in my office and before the New Year! Awesome job Saurik!
FYI, I have an iPad 2 CDMA model.

Confirm. Now I restore my Pad via Tunes with iOS 7.0.4, these set up new device, jailbreak...and now all apps work, but I use evasi0n tool v. 1.0.2 beta. I perform more test and update my post. If case use JB with old tool and try to install new update on evasi0n from Cydia may be go to boot loops cycle...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I want to jailbreak my iPad 3 but I've got lots of books on iBooks with bookmarks and highlights and I don't want to lose them. These books have not been added from iTunes but through Dropbox. What can I do to back up these books as I'm not sure that iCloud will completely save all my books and info. I should also add that this is a concern because my update to 7.0.4 is OTA so I will have to restore my iPad using iTunes before JBing.
Thanks in advance for your help and Happy New Year!

Unfortunately you can't back them up unless they were iTunes purchases. The tricky situation is the font size that would shift the pages, and since bookmarks are page based, it's hard to keep the formatting as well as the bookmarks. Then there's also the DRM issues to prevent copyright issues.

Thanks Willerz2 and thanks for all the help you give people on this forum. It's not so much the bookmarks now I think of it, it's the notes and highlights. So there's really no way to copy or backup these files related to iBooks? I've seen software for Windows that enables you to backup files on an iPad but I was wondering if there was an alternative to purchasing this software? I'd rather not jailbreak than lose my books.

It may be possible with certain software. I'm not entirely sure where the bookmarks, notes, highlights, etc are stored on the meta plists if at all. I'll dig around and see if I can find it. If you can copy that same meta plist onto your computer, and replace it along with your books after the restore, it may carry over your bookmarks. Remember that iOS 6 and iOS 7 have slightly different ways of indexing, so even if you do copy over the plist, it still may not carry over. I'll look into it and see what I can find, but it does seem grim.
EDIT: You can use Settings > iBooks > Sync Bookmarks and toggle it ON. It works for books purchased through iTunes. I'll check to see if it works for PDFs and other formats.
