Jailbreak iOS 7 News & Download Directions: Should You Wait Or Download Immediately?
The jailbreak community is thrilled about the new iOS 7 Jailbreak's release just in time for the holidays, but that doesn't mean everything is going too smoothly.
A number of people have complained that the jailbreak has not worked for them. One person by the name of "outfoxem" commented at Lifehacker and sent out a warning about freezing after the jailbreak reboot.
"Just a word of warning: Both mine and my co-workers iPhone 5's froze on reboot after the jailbreak was complete. The reboots during the jailbreak process were fine, and I played around in Cydia as best I could (Cydia is getting slammed right now), but after an hour or two, I restarted my phone for the first time and it froze up. Coincidentally, my co-worker also restarted his for the first time at the same exact time I did and his froze as well.
"Holding Home + Power for 10 seconds shut it down and allowed us to boot back up normally, but the first reboot may freeze for you."
While many have complained about their up and down experiences so far with the new jailbreak, others have made a much smoother transition. One person who goes by the name of "Bulldogdriver" commented here at Latin Post and said things are working just fine but that Cydia is not exactly up to par just yet.
"Hmm, jailbreak works fine. Sadly that Cydia isn't up to date yet," Bulldogdriver wrote. "I hope relationship with Saurik and the Evaders-team will be restored."
All in all, any problems will likely be resolved in the very near future as the developers respond to people's complaints. Keep in mind that these are developers who work on the jailbreaks on their own time as opposed to Apple, which dedicates plenty of its time to support.
We'll have to give it some time, but for now we can all be glad that there is finally an iOS 7 jailbreak.
