The jailbreaking team the Evad3rs have revealed a new update for evasi0n 7 to v1.0.7 and it fixes an issue with the bundled package lists not getting updated in Cydia.
iPhone Hacks said that the evasi0n7 1.0.7 update is just maintenance and it doesn’t add in any new features that the previous release hasn’t got.

How to Jailbreak iOS 7.0.6 Untethered via Evasi0n7 1.0.7 on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
Step 1:Download evasi0n7 1.0.7 for Windows and Mac (use the download links above) and save it to a folder named “evasi0n” on the desktop.
Step 2: Double-click the downloaded evasi0n7 application file and extract it to the evasi0n folder. Once again double-click it to launch evasi0n7.
Windows users: Launch the evasi0n7 app as an Administrator. Right-click on evasi0n.exe and choose “Run as Administrator” from the context menu.
Step 3: Now you will get a prompt to connect your iOS device.
Step 4: At this moment, disable the passcode on your iOS device by navigating to Settings > General > Passcode Lock On > Turn Passcode Off.
Step 5: Once the passcode is disabled, connect your device to computer. Now evasi0n should recognise the iOS firmware installed on the device by displaying it on screen. It is now safe to click Jailbreak button.
Step 6: Now the jailbreak update will begin and the progress bar indicates various stages involved in the process, which are listed below:
• Retrieving remote package
• Uploading jailbreak data
• Injecting evasion app (1/2)
• Injecting evasion app (2/2)
• Configuring system (1/2)
• Configuring system (2/2)
• Rebooting device
Owners should not use Xcode or iTunes and make sure that the computer is left along while the jailbreak process completes.
The handset or device will reboot and you will then be asked to unlock the device. Make sure that you don’t close the evasi0n app as it will still be running in the background.
Step 8: Unlock the device with a swipe and then tap on the evasi0n7 app (use evasi0n7 icon on the home screen) to launch it.
Step 9: When the evasi0n app is launched, the screen will go white and reboot again.
Step 10: Wait until the rest of the evasi0n jailbreak process completes, then the device should reboot again. Then a large evasi0n logo with a bunch of status messages should appear on screen as follows:
• Reading kernel
• Calculating offsets
• Setting up packages
• Setting up Cydia
• Continuing with boot
Step 11: Now the device will boot for the final time and this confirms a successful jailbreak. The Cydia icon should now appear on your device’s home screen (it may be found on any home page and not necessarily the first page).
Troubleshooting:
• If the jailbreak process is stuck at any point, it is safe to restart the process or hard reset your device (hold Home and Power buttons until the device shuts down).
• If you are facing any errors during jailbreak, try a full restore via iTunes and then re-jailbreak using evasi0n7 1.0.7 to resolve the issue.
