Your friends at iDownloadBlog like to make sure you’re kept in the loop about the latest trends in the iPhone and iPad hacking and jailbreaking spaces week after week.

Not only do we cover news as it happens, but we come back every Sunday with a roundup just like this one to ensure that our readers have the resources to find what they’re looking for if the work week keeps them too busy to read it all with us in real time.

In today’s roundup, we’ll talk about the latest news spanning the week of Monday, January 22^nd to Sunday, January 28^th. So let’s dive right in.

Important stuff from this week

TrollStore for Apple TV

TrollStore has been officially released for Apple TV, with Misaka for tvOS being the official installation vector as of right now.

The new feat means that it’s finally possible to permanently-sign apps on the Apple TV, which is a lot more convenient than sideloading.

You can learn more about TrollStore for Apple TV in our full news post.

RootHide bootstrap updates

The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap has been out of beta for about a week now, but that hasn’t stopped the development team behind it from continuing to improve it with updates.

You can learn about the latest RootHide bootstrap updates below:

RootHide & Procursus teams join forces

The RootHide development team joined up with the Procursus team this week in a surprising move after both groups found themselves in a disagreement over the RootHide bootstrap’s use of the table in their app icon.

This new change will benefit both developers and jailbreakers alike, as it will help bring RootHide up to speed with the traditional rootless paradigm and make more packages compatible with the bootstrap.
