evasi0n7 is available now for jailbreaking iOS 7.0-7.0.6 untethered on all iOS devices (except Apple TV) -- you can download it from evasi0n.com. Please read carefully and follow the instructions on the ReadMe.txt that comes with the evasi0n7 download.
IMPORTANT: Apple has released iOS 7.1 to the public, and it patches the exploits used in the evasi0n7 jailbreak. Currently there is no jailbreak for iOS 7.1, so do not update. The only iOS 7 firmware that you can restore to is iOS 7.1 (downgrades are impossible right now). The iPhone 4 has a bootrom exploit that allows it to be jailbroken tethered on any iOS version, but there is no officially-supported/recommended tethered jailbreaking tool available for 7.1 for iPhone 4 yet.
If Cydia didn't appear after jailbreaking: If you updated your device to the firmware that it is currently running via an Over The Air (OTA) update (updating through the Settings app on your device, instead of using iTunes), it is highly likely that the jailbreak will get stuck at some point and Cydia will not be installed. More than likely, you'll see the application stop at "modifying rootfs."

Instructions:
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed (it includes drivers that help your computer communicate with your device).
- Plug your device into your computer.
- Open iTunes, click your device (in the sidebar or at the top-right if you have the sidebar disabled) and choose "Back Up Now." If the jailbreak process fails, you can restore your data from this backup.
- If your device is locked with a passcode, you must temporarily disable it. Open the Settings app, navigate to General and then Passcode Lock. Enter your passcode, then tap "Turn Passcode Off."
- Your iTunes backup password must also be disabled. In iTunes, click your device and then untick "Encrypt Local Backup." Enter your password, then allow iTunes to backup your device again. If this option is greyed out: On the device, open Settings, tap General, tap Profiles and remove all entries there.
- Go to evasi0n.com and download evasi0n7 by clicking on the blue button for your operating system.
- Close iTunes, then open the evasi0n7 app. For best results, ensure your device is showing the home screen and no other apps are open.
- Click Jailbreak. This process will take a while, so give it a few minutes and try not to do anything that could interfere.
- Follow the instructions from the evasion7 app.
- After the jailbreak completes, Cydia will appear on your home screen. Open it and wait for it to download the latest package data from its repositories - you'll know it's done after "Reloading Data" shows up for a few seconds and disappears.
- You can now install any tweak that is compatible for iOS 7.0.x (and is 64-bit compatible if you have an iPhone 5s, iPad Air, or iPad mini Retina); here is a convenient list of what works (and what doesn't work). Don't forget to enable device and backup passwords if you disabled them.
