evasi0n iOS 6 x Jailbreak Untethered Errors And Fixes FAQ
As we are covering the official evad3rs updates on this website, lots of emails are stacking up on my email account related to errors and troubleshooting the evasi0n jailbreak tool. As the evad3rs have been very busy compiling the evasi0n jailbreak for all of us, they have had very less time to deal with all the errors that are popping around with the use of this tool. As I have tested this tool, overall it goes on pretty smoothly without any errors. Hit the jump to fix and troubleshoot the errors related to evasi0n tool.
.
Error 1: Cydia not loading up and cydia packages not installing
Cydia related errors in evasi0n are currently happening due to intense server overload on the cydias servers. Saurik is onto it and is busy fixing this issue. It is not caused by some technical problem in your idevice rather it is occuring simply due to millions of people are trying to access Cydia at the same point of time. See this tweet from Saurik below..
Update : Cydia Telesphoreo repo has been fixed, you can access it now if you still can’t, change your DNS to Google’s 8.8.8.8 server and try to access it again.
Error 2: Does evasi0n support OTA update
No, If you updated to iOS 6.1 via OTA (over-the-air update) it wont work on your idevice. Heres a quick solution :
Step 1: Firstly make a full backup of your device
Step 2: Update to iOS 6.1 using iTunes
Error 3: evasi0n does not work and fails everytime
It is happening because you have a passcode enabled on your idevice or you have left iTunes running during the jailbreaking process. Heres the fix..
- Disable the passcode lock on your idevice
- Dont touch your computer while evasi0n is running
Error 4: evasi0n gets stuck on “patching kernel”
If your idevice gets stuck on displaying “patching kernel” dont worry, be patient as it takes time as long as 15 minutes
Error 5 : evasi0n doesnt recognize my idevice
Although its working fine on every idevice as I have personally tested it. Make sure your idevice is supported, see the official list below.
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4,4S
- iPhone 5
- iPod Touch 4th Generation
- iPod Touch 5th Generation
- iPad 2
- iPad with Retina Display 3rd and 4th Generation
- iPad Mini
As of now, any generation of the Apple TV is not supported. If it still doesnt work, restart your computer system or try to switch the USB ports, as they can cause havoc sometimes.
Error 6: evasi0n is stuck on "finding offsets"
This part of the jailbreak process takes a bit of time like around 8-10 minutes. If you still see no progress, do a Power+Home button force reboot your idevice.
Error 7: Jailbreak button appears to be grey/disabled, when the idevice is connected
This occurs because your iTunes backup is not protected by a password. You need to re-enable password protected backups again once the jailbreak process gets over.
Error 8: Weather app bug
If you have an iPad, an extra Weather app will appear after the jailbreak is completely finished. It is just hidden in a .plist extension configuration file. The evad3rs dev team member David Wang aka planetbeing is currently working on this bug fix with a Cydia patch obviously. See the below tweet from musclenerd...
Update : Fix the weather app not working error/bug by installing 2 cydia packages, details here or by re-jailbreaking with the updated version of the tool here.
Error 9: idevice freezes and gets stuck at Apple logo on booting
This problem is because of a random boot bug or it might be occuring due to an incompatible tweak. You can use any of the 3 solutions given below..
- Hold Power+Home buttons to force reboot your idevice and it should work normally with the next reboot.
- If it still doesnt work, try increasing the volume while booting
- Uninstall Activator and Sbsettings tweaks
Update : You can fix the long reboot bug through Cydia here or by jailbreaking again with the updated version of the tool, see the how-to guide here.
Error 10: idevice displaying wrong time zone and time after evasi0n jailbreak
As we are always updating this article with latest errors and bug fixes. We have been seeing a new bug that involves the wrong time zone and time after using evasi0n tool. To fix the incorrect time error toggle “Set Automatically” option to OFF. For the wrong time zone, follow this method below...
Step 1: Navigate to Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > ON
Step 2: Now you need to go back again to Settings > Privacy > Location Services (ensure it’s set to on) > System Services > Setting Time Zone. Set this option to ON.
Error 11: Cydia appears small after rebooting (quarter screen bug)?
This error or bug is known as the quarter screen bug. This bug looks like this on an iPad and iPhone (shown below).
A lot of users are reporting this quarter screen bug. The root cause of this is that you might have installed an tweak incompatible with iOS 6 running on your idevice. Follow the method given below to solve the issue.
Step 1: Firstly we need to disable all the tweaks. Reboot your idevice while holding the volume up button. .
Step 2: Launch Cydia and uninstall all iOS 6 incompatible tweaks.
If this doesnt work for you, to use Cydia again, just respring your idevice. However, this fix is not a permanent solution, it will again cause the same problem after a reboot.

Whited00r Updated To Replicate iOS 6 On iPhone 2G 3G and iPod Touch 1G 2G
In case you don’t know about it, whited00r is a custom firmware for old device and provides support for iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G. whited00r allows to install, jailbreak and unlock a pseudo- iOS6 on your iPhone 2G/3G and iPod Touch 1G/2G.
The new update, whited00r 6, brings the iOS6 look and feel even on the old device, which are not supported by official iOS6 firmware.
Watch the video below to better understand what whited00r 6 can give you. For more info, firmware download and an excellent installation tutorial, visit the official website…
| Backup your Data. The installation process is safe and tested, but you are doing this at your own risk. For this reason we suggest that you backup your data (our firmwares have include an iCloud-like application to backup your Game saves to dropbox since Whited00r 5), and transfer your applications from the device back to iTunes on your computer by following these simple steps: Right click on your device name in iTunes, select "Backup" and then "Transfer Purchases". You also could use other software like DiskAid to manually backup data, if you prefer. Get 20% off your Diskaid license We absolutely recommend that you make a clean installation without restoring from the backup you created with the previous instructions, but just keep it just in case you really need it to recover some data. We will not provide support if this rule is not respected. |
Download the firmware.
Download the right firmware for your device. If you have an iPhone, please read the information carefully to understand if you need the Normal or Unlocked version of Whited00r. You will find the Whited00r Software Update (.ipsw) inside the downloaded .zip. You also can verify MD5 of the .ipsw with the text file inside the compressed folder.
Installation via iTunes.
Open iTunes on the screen about your device. Click on Restore holding ALT (MacOS) or SHIFT (Windows) at the same time and select the whited00r Software Update (.ipsw) from you computer. Cant you install?
Complete the Installation.
After installation (could take up to 15 minutes, reboot the device twice) iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup. Please choose “Set up a new iPhone/iPod” to improve speed and avoid strange problems. Clean installation is better and the the only way to get our support!.
Post Installation.
Your installation is complete and Whited00r is ready to use on your iPhone or iPod Touch. There are some extra, but optional, steps you would like to follow in order to get the best performances and an high customization.
