Completed it there and when the phone went to reboot for the last time it's now stuck on the apple logo screen. Hurray.

Edit: Had to stick it into recovery mode and restore it. Think I'll wait a few days before I try again to see if the jailbreak needs tweaking.

What are the benefits of Jailbreaking?

You can install bad themes and apps that weren't useful enough for the App Store.

Warning! Over The Air updates of iOS 7 are known to create an issue and make the jailbreak fail. Some devices are then stuck on the Apple Boot Logo. Until we fix that, please restore your device to 7.0.4. with iTunes first.

Sounds like it alright. I'll wait a week or so and try again.

Holy ****! I wasn't expecting this.

back in the olden days it was useful for people who bought simlocked phones, as you could run some jailbroken software to allow you to unlock your phone. Also jailbreaking had some nifty features like control centre-esque software before being in iOS officially.

nowadays it's not really needed.

So happy to have my jailbreak back, gonna install I black list for a start for unknown callers can go fu*k themselves. I also got a tweak that requires a password to turn the phone off or enter the settings. Going to wait a week or two before installing more give devs time to update they apps.

IOS 7 has this..you can block callers

Waiting on some firmware to download I started reading up on this jailbreak. There seems to be a lot of dodgy stuff about it. Instead of waiting for 7.1, apparently they rushed it out, as some chinese company paid them a **** tonne of money. There's some very questionable chinese software packaged with the jailbreak too. Plus saurik didn't even know about the jailbreak so cydia has loads of issues with it.

I'm going to wait for a few days and see what happens before putting this on any of my devices.

I haven't look since came out in ios7 but if I recall correctly, you can only block calls when number is shown, if number is block you cannot block them.

Creamy Goodness · 22-12-2013 8:27pm

don't think you can block unknown callers in iOS 7. sure you can block people calling you but they have to call you at least once and have their number on display.

Deep Thought · 22-12-2013 8:33pm

then is having a jailbreak tweek any better? dont see how you can block unknown caller even with JB

yeh it can screen the call before alerting to you, if the user has caller id turned off it can block the call.

it's pretty impressive what you can do with jailbreaking, the downside is opening up your phone more opened up than android. not something i'd like to be doing.

Armonline · 22-12-2013 9:01pm

You can block unknown callers in IOS7 by setting do not disturb to only alert you to calls from your known contacts. Or you can use the block caller feature to block a known contact or phone number.

Notorious97 · 22-12-2013 10:50pm

Is this jailbreak ok to use? Alot of people freaking out online about the chinese store that installs in addition to cydia if your language is set to chinese

Not sure if this means a back door for them to extract any of your personal info or if its simply a piracy platform which doesnt collect your data.

So does their sorry etc mean my bank details are safe? Lol

Creamy Goodness · 22-12-2013 11:02pm

if you cared for your bank details you wouldn't have jailbroken your phone or log into anything to do with your bank on your iPhone.

Fair point! But i dont expect back doors added by the devs so they can take money from some chinese firm.

Im jailbreaking years and trust the devs usually, just tonight a few sites i am a member on seem to be up in arms over this so trying to find out if its more panic over nothing or if this jailbreak is something to steer clear of

myIdea · 22-12-2013 11:10pm

Anyone know if we can unlock as well ? ultrasn0w etc...

tallus · 23-12-2013 10:47am

Cheers for the heads up OP ! I hope my cydia paid apps,work on ios7

Ok.. after reading through the comments on this thread, I might just hold off for a bit.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Ultrasn0w is dead in the water IMO.

its worrying alright..I'm gonna remove it for the moment as its really only pdanet I needed..will review later in the week..although I didnt' find taig installed on mine ...

AntiRip · 23-12-2013 2:19pm

This is a bit worrying alright. I'm on 6.0.1 on iPad4 and don't want to lose some of my paid cydia apps and especially my XBMC.

Anyone knows does XBMC work on the iOS7 jailbreak?

I'm also reading that if you don't update in the next few days that Apple may close it with iOS 7.0.5 update. Not sure what to do to be honest. Don't want to be stuck on a 6.0.x firmware as a lot of Apps won't work now such as The Room 2 etc.

I think TaiG only appears if you are using the device in chinese when jailbreaking, but i dont have any idea if its still present and undetected in non chinese language devices if you get me, if they confirmed it wasnt id happily jailbreak.

Pod2g said this yesterday on twitter "Something people may have missed. If you are not in China, nothing but Cydia is installed on your device" link. Hes done a lot of work for the jailbreak community and been around a long time, if he says that then id take his word on it

Thanks for that, i wanted someone with a good rep to confirm it! So much panic online and a simple statement like this would have cleared alot up!

Jailbreak time so!

It does.

Strangely, I've retained more working apps on my jailbroken iPhone than iPad. And they're the same apps. Can't see where the difference is (although maybe it was the previous jailbreak version - I was on a tethered jailbreak on the phone).
