Installing EverPwnage (Date Trick)
For support in English, ask for help on the r/Jailbreak Discord Server.
EverPwnage is an untethered jailbreak capable of jailbreaking 32-bit iOS devices on firmware versions 7.0 to 9.3.6. However, this method of installing EverPwnage relies on a bug with changing the date/time that is only present in firmware versions 8.0.3 and lower.
We will use the jailbreaks.app website, combined with changing the date/time, to install the EverPwnage jailbreak application to your iOS device for use in the next step.
TIP
If you are running firmware versions 7.1 to 8.0.3, unless you are running into issues it is generally recommended to follow:
- Using Lyncis instead if on firmware versions 7.1 to 7.1.2
- Using Carbon instead if on firmware versions 8.0 to 8.0.3
EverPwnage is currently signed at jailbreaks.app. As such, you should follow Installing EverPwnage instead.
