iOS upgrade (in preparation for Evasi0n7)

[rosenstar]

Hello all,

I've been JB'd on iOS6 for the past year or so, but plan to (eventually) upgrade to iOS 7 and jailbreak. What versions of iOS 7 can be jailbroken, and when can we expect apple to release a fix for the exploit?

7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, 7.0.4, 7.1b1, 7.1b2. Maybe they'll fix the exploit by 7.1b3. They'll most likely release it to the developers after the new year. If they don't patch it, we'll be lucky.

I have no intentions of putting a beta upgrade on my phone, is it fair to assume that most tweaks should be updated before Apple releases 7.1?

Let's hope so.

i shouldt upgrade there are only a few tweaks working.

There are only a few tweaks compatible with iOS 7. If you updated using OTA you must restore the device or the jailbreak will fail.

It seems my jailbreak has failed. I upgraded the device iOS 6, restored my back up, then jailbroke it. Should I have held off on the back up until after the jailbreak?

The backup shouldn't have had an impact. I haven't seen what they're doing with this particular jailbreak. I've only known one where that was an issue and even then it was a time issue rather than a functionality one.

You upgraded to iOS6 or iOS7? Did you use OTA or plug into iTunes?

I upgraded from iOS 6 to iOS 7. I upgraded by plugging into itunes.

EDIT:
I'm stuck in an endless loop. The apple logo appears, disappears, screen goes completely black, apple logo appears, etc. I plugged it into my computer, but iTunes does not recognize the device. Help?

Put the phone in DFU mode.

iTunes should detect it.
