Evasion Jailbreak 6.1.3 Information And iOS Questions Answered – When Apple released iOS 6.1.3 on March 19^th, it didn't just bring improvements and correct a bug that affected the iOS lock screen, the minor update also patched the Evasion Untethered jailbreak. With one small release, Apple managed to patch a number of the vulnerabilities that are exploited by evasi0n to achieve an Untethered iOS 6 jailbreak. Curiously, Apple had left said vulnerabilities untouched in their previous iOS 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 updates, both of which were released following evasion's big debut on February 4^th. Since Apple issued iOS 6.1.3 to the public, the members of Evasion Jailbreak have received a countless number of  questions pertaining to iOS 6.1.3, whether or not the firmware can be jailbroken and if it's possible to downgrade from 6.1.3 to a lower firmware. In this article we'll answer all of our most commonly asked questions.

iOS Jailbreak 6.1.3 Information And Questions Answered

Before we begin, a lot of the information detailed in this post can be found on our iOS 6.1.3 jailbreak Q&A article  published last month. Moreover, the latest information pertaining to jailbreaking can be found in our Jailbreak 6.1.3 archive, which we highly recommend reviewing if you have additional questions. Also, if you prefer audible answers, we recommend watching iCrackUriDevice's video on the topic, embedded below.

First, let's start with our most frequently asked question, can iOS 6.1.3 be jailbroken? The answer to this question may be confusing to some, as it's actually multifaceted in nature. While the latest firmware can be jailbroken on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the 4^th generation iPod touch using a simple Redsn0w workaround, which is detailed in explicit detail in our in-depth tutorials, newer devices like the iPhone 5 or the iPad 4 cannot be jailbroken on Apple's iOS 6.1.3. As mentioned above, the vulnerabilities in iOS that are utilized by evasion were patched in 6.1.3. Unfortunately, that means that the vast majority of devices on 6.1.3, which encompasses the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad mini and the 5^th generation iPod touch, cannot be jailbroken.

Next, is it possible to downgrade from 6.1.3? Simply put, no, it's not possible to downgrade from iOS 6.1.3 to an earlier firmware that's supported by evasi0n. While iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4G owners can downgrade if they've manually backed up their SHSH blobs on the firmware they wish to revert to when Apple was still signing said firmware, that's only a very select number of the millions of iDevice owners who will likely experience all of the frustrations associated with upgrading to a firmware that cannot be jailbroken.

Is The Future Of Jailbreaking Secured With iOS 7′s Forthcoming Release? 

Finally, to wrap up this informational article, we're going to address jailbreaking's place in the future as we move forward and become increasingly closer to iOS 7 and its release. Although there may not be a jailbreak for Apple's current public firmware, that doesn't mean jailbreaking is dead – in fact, that's furtherest thing from the truth.

What most individuals fail to realize is that countless hours of work and devotion go toward creating a new jailbreak utility. Numerous days and nights are spent researching and trying to discover new vulnerabilities in iOS that will allow for the injection of unsigned code and enable root access, which is essentially what jailbreaking is: the permission of root access. Once that's understood, the answer to the question of whether developers should burn through the exploits they've spent weeks or even months discovering becomes much more apparent.

Although both the evad3rs (the team of four incredibly intelligent hackers that brought evasion to the public) and p0sixninja (quondam leader of the Chronic Team team and an instrumental contributor to numerous jailbreak solutions) are in the process of developing new jailbreak utilities, both parties are waiting for the opportune moment to release their work. Recently, pod2g of the evad3rs confirmed that the team has absolutely no plans to develop a new jailbreak specifically for 6.1.3 and that they'll wait for "a major release" before publicizing another jailbreak. Similarly, p0sixninja has also confirmed that he'll wait until the said of "7.0.x or maybe even 7.1.x" before releasing his own utility.
