If you use the RootHide development team’s Procursus-based bootstrap, then you might be excited to learn that there’s an updated build available to the general public as of this Sunday afternoon.
In a post shared to X (formerly Twitter), the RootHide development team announced version 1.2 of its bootstrap, which appears to bring forth the following changes and improvements:
Changes:
– Fixed the issue where the home directory path of the jailbroken app is incorrect
– Fixed an issue that may cause dpkg data corruption when installing a .deb
– Update the strapfiles for apt and fix the issue of incorrect PATH environment variable when apt installs a deb
– Fixed the issue where Shortcuts/Spotlight/MobileMail did not work correctly after tweaks are injected
– Added a button to “reset mobile user password” in the app settings
– Update the built-in Zebra to 1.1.36-1 to fix multitudes of issues
– Update the built-in Sileo to 2.5-12 to fix multitudes of issues
If you’re an existing RootHide bootstrap user, then it’s strongly recommended that you take full advantage of the latest update by downloading the latest .tipa file from the project’s GitHub page and perma-signing it over your existing installation with TrollStore.
Anyone that isn’t already using the RootHide bootstrap that would like to take advantage of it starting now should obviously start by using the latest version available. You can acquire the latest version for free from the project’s official GitHub page and then you can perma-sign it right on your device without a computer using TrollStore.
Just in case you haven’t heard about the RootHide bootstrap before, it’s effectively a tool that lets you inject jailbreak tweaks into apps without a jailbreak. It works using the CoreTrust bug exploited by TrollStore, and it’s advertised to support iOS & iPadOS versions 14.0-17.0.
You can expand jailbreak tweak support to the entirety of SpringBoard with a “semi-jailbreak” like Serotonin, but it’s worth noting that these tools are to be used at your own risk and may increase your chance of being involved in an irrecoverable boot loop.
