This Tuesday afternoon, they’re out again with another update in the form of checkra1n version 0.12.4, purportedly with a hot fix for an issue affecting A9X devices running iPadOS 14.5 or later.

The checkra1n team announced the newest update via its official Twitter page:

Citing the official change log for checkra1n version 0.12.4, this update incorporates the following changes:

What’s new

– Hot fix for A9X devices which could not boot on iPadOS 14.5 or later at all after jailbreaking with checkra1n version 0.12.3
