A hacker named Cjori told Redmond Pie that he used OpenSn0w to tether-jailbreak iOS 7 on A4 based iPhone 4. Cydia was recompiled from source with the iOS 7 SDK and he manually debugged all of the issues encountered using various UNIX tools. When asked if he will be releasing this iOS 7 compatible Cydia along with instructions on how to tether-jailbreak iOS 7, he said that while Cydia itself seems to be stable, a lot of the things revolving around it and jailbreak in general are very unstable, therefore he does not plan on releasing it at this point, but he might do so in future once things are fixed.
Beautiful isn’t it ? Before you get so excited and run all over the floor… The above screenshots is nothing more than a teaser at this point for what may eventually be, and with a couple of months’ wait being the typical period between new iOS release and major jailbreak, we could well see some significant progress from other teams involved, such as Evad3rs, before the close of the year.
Jay Freeman, who is founder of Cydia, has just written to us to clear that this port of Cydia by Cjori is a “third-party compilation of modified code from the previous release of Cydia, and is not at all indicative of what Cydia will look like on iOS 7â€. Also since Cydia “is a registered trademark, and while the code is open, a third-party (such as Cjori) cannot release ‘Cydia’: they can only release programs based on Cydia.â€
