In an interesting turn of events this week, it would seem that the RootHide development team is joining forces with the Procursus team to unify as a single group.

Around a week ago, we shared the news about a breakthrough new tool called meowbrek2 by iOS developer @dora2ios that could effectively turn the semi-tethered palera1n jailbreak for arm64 devices running iOS 15-16 into a semi-untethered jailbreak by making use of the kfd exploit.
If you’ve been following jailbreaking in the past year, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the XinaA15 jailbreak. It was around long before Dopamine was and supported iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 devices, but it used arguably hacky methods to maintain a rootful-like user experience that eventually earned it deprecation in the community due to the community moving full-force over to rootless.
We previously reported on security researcher Linus Henze publishing a rootful edition of his Fugu15 semi-untethered perma-signed iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 jailbreak for developers.
It was only a couple of days ago that the RootHide jailbreak detection bypass for rootless jailbreaks such as Dopaminecame out of beta, and it’s been taking the community by storm. But since its release, many users reported how it didn’t work in certain apps.
Just last month, we talked about an ambitious project called RootHide that strives to hide your rootless jailbreaks from apps that want nothing more than to know that you’re jailbroken. In other words, it’s a jailbreak bypass that lets you use those annoying apps that refuse to work when you’re in a jailbroken state.Â
One of the problems that plagues iPhone and iPad jailbreaks is that App Store apps can implement what’s known as jailbreak detection and then refuse to open or work properly until you unjailbreak your device. For this reason, jailbreak detection bypasses are a hot commodity among jailbreakers, but they tend to be hit or miss, depending on who you ask.
Do you value enhanced multitasking features on your mobile devices? If so, then you might be excited to learn that MilkyWay4-rootless jailbreak tweak by akusio is now available and supports the latest rootless jailbreaks such as Dopamine and palera1n on iOS & iPadOS 15.x.
One of the most popular jailbreak tweaks for Control Center that we ever showed our readers was BigSurCenter by iOS developer nicho1asdev. Now, two years later, the tweak has been updated to take advantage of the latest rootless jailbreaks for iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16.
If you’ve just used the Dopamine tool to jailbreak your A12-A15 device running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 or the palera1n-c tool for A9-A11 iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.x devices, then it’s going to be very important that you don’t update your device’s software so that you maintain your jailbreak.
If you were previously using the XinaA15 jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1, and you’ve thought about making the switch to the new rootless Dopamine jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1, then you will be pleased to know that this will be a lot easier than you might think.
Most of the jailbreak community is starting to move to the rootless dynamic, and for users of rootful jailbreaks in the past, this may cause some growing pains for users of those jailbreak tweaks that haven’t yet been updated to support rootless.
