The RootHide development team’s Procursus-based bootstrap platform for devices that are vulnerable to the CoreTrust bug exploited by TrollStore was officially moved from beta to public release status on Wednesday.
The RootHide development team announced the major change via a post shared to X (formerly Twitter), linking to what is now being called RootHide bootstrap public version 1.0.
From what we can gather, RootHide’s bootstrap has picked up the following changes while moving from beta to public release:
– Merge the swiftUI designed by @haxi0, icon designed by @sourcelocation
– Add multiple localized languages thanks to several contributing developers
– Fix possible code255 error
The beautiful new user interface is shown in the post on X, and is a major aesthetic upgrade from the original black and white app.
The RootHide bootstrap moving out of beta and into public release status sends a strong signal that the project is now considered stable enough for the masses. It allows users to browse package manager apps like Sileo and effectively inject certain jailbreak tweaks into apps.
Users can also opt to run the Serotonin “semi-jailbreak” on iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.6.1 firmware, which expands the tweak injection support from mere apps to the entire system. It’s worth noting, however, that this project is still in beta and adds an extra level of risk for boot-looping your device, so you should only use this if you know what you’re doing.
That aside, it is possible to use the RootHide bootstrap without Serotonin if you wish. Neither of these solutions are true jailbreaks, however, and those waiting for one should continue waiting for Dopamine 2 to launch.
If you’re interested in learning more about the RootHide bootstrap, or trying it out for yourself, then you can head over to the project’s GitHub page where it’s available as a free download.
