The RootHide development team announced an updated version of the Procursus-based bootstrap on Sunday that introduces a slew of bug fixes and optimizations that will benefit end users and their experience.
The latest version, dubbed 4.3 beta, was announced in a post shared to X (formerly Twitter) Sunday morning, and from what we can gather, this build includes the following bug fixes and improvements:
– Fix the issue that error 225 may occur during bootstrapping
– Fix the issue that error 225 may occur when enabling tweaks for apps
– Fix the bootstrapping issue for iPad mini 6 running iPadOS 17.0
– Add a global tweak enable switch so that you can temporarily disable all tweaks when you install a broken tweak and cause apps to crash
– Fix the issue where Safari would crash on some devices after enabling tweaks
– Optimize app list sorting and improve user experience
This is an important update because it adds a new option to temporarily disable tweaks when you notice that installing one causes apps to crash. For some people, installing tweaks that cause headaches can be a stressful experience, so this offers some peace of mind for being able to remove the tweak when that happens.
It’s worth noting that the RootHide development team expects that this will be the last update to their bootstrap if the update doesn’t introduce any new bugs. That said, this should be considered the gold standard release for the time being.
If you’re using the RootHide bootstrap, then you would do good to update to the latest v4.3 beta release. New or prospective users who want to give it a shot should also start with version 4.3 beta so that they have the latest bug fixes and improvements to mitigate issues and ensure a good user experience.
It’s worth noting that the RootHide bootstrap lets you install jailbreak tweaks on your non-jailbroken device using the power of the same CoreTrust bug that powers TrollStore 2. That means that it supports iOS & iPadOS versions 14.0-17.0 on all A8-A17 devices, including the M1 and M2 varieties ran by certain iPad Pros.
The bootstrap can only install jailbreak tweaks inside of apps, so if you want to enable system tweak injection, then you will need to either install the Serotonin “semi-jailbreak” or wait for the full-fledged Dopamine 2 jailbreak to launch for iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.5.1.
