Apple Patches Evasi0n Untethered Jailbreak Exploit

The usual cat  and mouse game between Apple and vast majority of jailbreaker and hackers have started again.

Evasi0n was the tool that brought about untethered jailbreak to all iDevices running iOS 6.0 - 6.1.2 for a while and seems as though the cat & mouse game ended. However new reports especially from popular member of the evad3rs team David Wang (p0sixninja) says that those that want to keep their untethered jailbreak should stay away from updating to the upcoming iOS 6.1.3 firmware.

It will interest you to know that Apple already released beta versions of iOS 6.1.3 to developers and its rumored that the untethered jailbreak exploit used by Evasi0n have been partly patched.

According to Wang, if one of the exploits are patched, the jailbreak would not be able to function. Consequently, hackers will have to look out for new vulnerabilities in the firmware to create another untethered jailbreak for all devices concerned.

Although, Wang in one of the interviews with Forbes stated that there are enough exploits already developed to keep iOS 6.x untethered jailbreak alive but it would be smart for those that want an untethered jailbreak to remain on iOS 6.1.2 until the coast is clear and the go is proclaimed by the wonderful hackers out there. 

With past occurrences, it is known that no really new updates or features will be seen in iOS 6.1.3 that is so different from iOS 6.1.2. Therefore, I will advise that all folks that want to keep their jailbreak should refrain from updating to iOS 6.1.3 should it go live.

One of the most anticipated tool is that tool that is supposed to jailbreak the iOS 6.1 untethered on all Apple devices.
Contrary to the popular ones we have always had from Chronic Dev-team, this one is coming from the Evad3rs team and the name of the tool is Evasi0n which will be released on Sunday.

However, people could be easily fooled with fake jailbreak tools that promises to jailbreak all iDevices on iOS 6.1 untethered. these fake tools are listed below and you are advised NOT to use them or PAY for any of them as they can render your device unusable or install spyware into your device.
Most importantly, wait patiently for the legitimate jailbreak tool. It is usually free and very stable and legit.

Fake Jailbreak Tools
1. Gull1hack & Blacksn0w V2
These tools by the Gull1hack team have been declared fake by the iPhone Dev-team. The tools was supposedly to jailbreak iPhone and iPod touch devices on the new bootrom untethered.

2. FastRa1n0.5
This particular one says it can jailbreak iOS 5 and later untethered and even charge a whooping $24.99 for it. As far confirmation goes, @comex have said that it is fake and does not work. Consequently, it is fake. Stay away from it.

3. Ghost App
This is yet another jailbreaking tool that promises to jailbreak untethered iOS 5 on all iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S for $24.99 also. It doesn't even have a demo to try out its functions.
Just like FastRa1n0.5 above, it's not legit, its a fake. Stay away from it

4. Jailbreak
This is got me laughing. It is sold for $9.99 and does nothing. It even featured in the Apple app store at a time ( still wondering how Apple allowed a jailbreak tool in the store anyway). Anyways, it was removed from the store when Apple and Dev-Team found out it was a fake tool.

Unlock iPhone 4S
This tool claim to unlock iPhone 4S on any baseband and also jailbreak untethered. On their website, declaration was made that refund will be made if jailbreak and unlock was unsuccessful. However, no real testimony that it has worked.
The best way to confirm a tool is working is to go to various fora. Here you will hear people are saying about a particular app
