As someone who has never jailbroken or rooted a phone before, are the instructions in the OP really as straightforward and simple as they seem? Are there any common newbie mistakes that I might run into with disastrous results? I'm in high need of a tethering option on my iPhone 5, and would love to get this set up pronto!

As someone who relies on jailbreak for tethering, are you guys saying there is not any likelihood that people will devote themselves to jailbreaking iOS 7?

What's the preferred program for navigating my phones folder structure from my PC? I already have the free version of iFile installed, if that makes a difference.

So if I am jailbreaked on 6.0.2, what do I need to do to upgrade to 7.0.4 to pick up the new jailbreak?

Since the OP is still all slashed out, can someone please give me the list of steps of upgrading from 6.1.2 JB to 7.0.4 JB? 6.1.2 was my first jailbreaking experience, and I still don't really feel comfortable handling this without a helping hand.

This is what I did:
1. Downloaded the evasion JB file.
2. Made sure I had the most current version of iTunes on my Mac (would have done the same if I used my PC for the jailbreak).
3. After connecting my device, I downloaded but did not install the iOS 7.0.4 update.
4. Did a full back-up of my device (stored on computer, not iCloud).
5. Used iTunes to do a full restore so iOS7 would be installed on a blank phone.
6. At the prompt, I chose to restore from the backup I just made.
7. Went through the device's set-up screens.
8. Disconnected the device.
9. Ran the evasion JB file and reconnected my device when prompted.
10. Sat back and read for a bit while the jailbreak magic happened, following the directions as they appeared.
11. Went through the device's set-up screens again.
12. Gnashed my teeth when I realized how few of my iOS 6 jailbreak apps have been updated.

This was for my iPhone 4S, by the way. Haven't done my third gen iPad yet.

Edit: Oh, also I used PKGBackup to backup everything, JB and otherwise, to a cloud account. I forgot about using Appinfo to email my list of apps and completely spaced on the fact I have iFunbox and could have just saved everything locally.

Thank you very much for this, upgraded and jailbroke last night with no issues whatsoever!

I recently upgraded my 5 to 7.0.4 from 6.1.2 with the recent jailbreak, and while I'm mostly pleased with the change, there is one thing that is starting to bug me. I got some cheap Monoprice Lightning cables back when the 5 launched, and they worked perfectly fine for me in terms of charging and data transfer while I was on 6.1.2, but now on 7.0.4, every time I connect my phone to the cable attached to my computer, I get multiple error messages about whether or not I want to trust my computer and need to dismiss warnings about the cable not being official. Is there any way to disable this behavior? The cable still works for charging and data transfer, but it does seem like the charging doesn't start until I actually deal with these messages each time.

Looks like I misremembered and I actually got the cables off of amazon from some 3rd party, so it's not surprising I'm getting the messages, I just want them to go away because, in the grand scheme of things, the cables work perfectly well, official or not. There is apparently a jailbreak option, so I'll see how that goes.

Has there been anyway to downgrade an ios 7.0 and above device to ios 6?

I miss my jailbroken ipad 3 and updated it by accident months ago, for reference its stuck at 7.0.2

Any reason you can't upgrade to 7.0.4 and jailbreak on that?

I think it is basically TetherMe and MiWi. TetherMe is about a fourth of the price of MiWi and works with the same basic functionality, so you'll have to decide if it is worth the extra ~$15 for whatever special features MiWi offers.

Ever since I did this last update/jailbreak, I've been unable to download any app updates from the App Store. I click on the update button and it just circles around for a while doing nothing. I have to force close the App Store or it will continue to use data doing nothing. Anyone else having this issue / know how to fix it?

Still no luck with updating or installing apps after the jailbreak, even after logging out and back in multiple times. Haven't tried restarting my phone, but that's because I can't figure out how to power down the phone with my broken power button (unrelated issue). Any other suggestions?

Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch (Turn on)

Press the now displayed Assisted Touch button on your screen, press "Device", press and hold "Lock Screen" until "Slide to Power off" pops up. To turn it back on, just plug it into a charger.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer any help with the app issues you're experiencing.

edit: if for some reason you enable Assisted Touch, yet the button doesn't show up, you might have disabled the Assisted Touch daemons in iCleaner Pro. I had done that a long time ago and when my power button finally broke on my iPhone4, I went crazy trying to figure out why Assisted Touch wouldn't work for me until I looked in iCleaner Pro :bang:

There it is! I've been using Assistive Touch to lock my screen, but didn't realize that you had to hold down the Lock Screen button for power down to appear, though I guess it makes sense in retrospect. I'll see if a restart fixes the issue.

e: Indeed it does, hallelujah! Thanks all!

Does anyone know of a tweak that will let me use an http proxy over cellular data on the fly, like you can with Wifi? I've seen instructions about downloading an Apple Profile Manager program to your computer and loading an XML of some sort to the phone so any data goes through the proxy, but I'd like something that I can toggle on and off.

Cydia Impactor. It restores your phone to complete stock, keeps you on whatever iOS you're on, and removes jailbreak. It also has the added effect of repairing any corrupt/damaged files in your iOS if you have any.
