For those of you who didn’t know, there is an iOS 7.0.4 tethered Jailbreak for ONLY iPhone 4 (GSM and CDMA). Popular YouTuber iCrackUriDevice posted an excellent in-depth video guide on how to jailbreak 7.0.4 on the iPhone 4 using the new RageBreak utility for Windows. The RageBreak tool for iOS 7.0.x is based on winocm’s opensn0w jailbreak, which is made possible by Geohot’s ancient limera1n exploit from over three years ago. Like with the command line tool for OS X, RageBreak is nothing new, it’s simply a convenient GUI for winocm’s opensn0w project. The steps outlined in this written iOS 7.0.4 jailbreak tutorial will also function on GSM and CDMA iPhone 4 models running iOS 7 through 7.0.3 and, of course, 7.0.4 – individuals with newer iDevices should stay tuned for future updates concerning the evad3rs’ upcoming Untethered iOS 7 utility.

The process itself is lengthy but it’s not complicated. As the embedded video shows, the process involves a bit of DFU mode’ing the iPhone 4, using the RageBreak software to load the IPSW files, to select the iPhone version and then to install Cydia. Not to forget, being a tethered jailbreak, you’ll have to connect your iPhone 4 to the computer and run RageBreak every time you want to boot up your iPhone 4.
