EDIT1: Remember that next to nothing in Cydia is compatible with your device at this moment unless you're beta testing for developers.
EDIT2: iPhone 5S, iPad Mini w/ RD and iPad Air users are advised to stay clear of applications at this point until MobileSubstrate supports ARM64. There will be an update to the untethered package to support a new Cydia and MobileSubstrate build soon.
Q&A
Q: What iOS and device version does Evasi0n7 work for?
A: Evasi0n7 solely works for iOS 7.0 - 7.0.4 full releases at this time.
Q: Can I jailbreak my iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch X on iOS 7 using this?
A: Yes....
Q:
Before jailbreaking, what precaution should I take?
A:
Remove your passcode/restrictions lock, and turn off your TouchID if applicable before jailbreaking. If your device was upgraded from iOS 6 to iOS 7 via OTA (Settings app on your device), make sure you perform a fresh restore of your device prior to jailbreaking!!!
Q: My jailbreak was successful, but after the process was completed, on rebooting, my screen is flickering or not working. What happened?
A: Do
NOT do anything using iTunes or the device directly while jailbreaking. As Evasi0n for iOS 6 and the new Evasi0n for iOS 7 explicitly states, do not touch the device and essentially do not do anything while the process is occurring.
Q: I'm stuck on X procedure
during the jailbreak process. What do I do?
A: Remove your security code lock, and restrictions if applicable. Perform a hard reset of your device by holding the power and home button together until you see the Apple logo (or Evasi0n logo depending on step if applicable) and release both buttons. If you were in the middle of the process, and the boot did not show an Evasi0n logo, you can safely re-run the Evasi0n7 utility once again and re-jailbreak afresh. The previous injections will be removed and you will start again.
Q: My device is still stuck during/after the jailbreak process. What's the fix?
A: Make sure you're using the most updated version of Evasi0n7. If you're still stuck after a hard reset, restore afresh and retry.
CAUTION: Make sure you're aware of the latest version of iOS being signed. Do
NOT openly restore without checking what the latest iOS is as it may or may not be supported by Evasi0n 7.
Q: What are the risks of using Evasi0n7?
A: None that's substantial, everything has a risk, in this case, it's infinitesimal and is the same as any utility previously released. Possible loss of data because of the shifting and injection of data while jailbreaking. As stated by every jailbreak tool in history,
ALWAYS backup your device prior to jailbreaking as a precaution.
Q: How come <insert tweak> does not work?
A: It's not updated for iOS 7 support or if it's universally supported, a pre-requisite is not updated for iOS 7 support.
