Jailbreak news of the week: Removing RootHide, palera1n coming to Apple TV, palera1n TUI, TrollStore updates, & more…

iPhone and iPad jailbreaking runs deep in our culture here at iDownloadBlog. That’s why we not only cover the latest jailbreaking news and tweak releases as they come, but we come at you every weekend with roundups just like this one that ensure you’re always apprised of the latest developments.

In this post, we’ll discuss everything new in the iPhone and iPad jailbreak community spanning the week of Monday, March 25th to Sunday, March 31st. Then, toward the end, we’ll have a list of helpful tutorials to help you get started with hacking your handset.

Important stuff from this week

How to uninstall the RootHide bootstrap

The iDB team shows you how to remove the RootHide Bootstrap so that you can either revert to a stock device or prepare it to use the Dopamine v2 jailbreak instead.

To learn more, check out our step-by-step tutorial post.

palera1n jailbreak coming to Apple TV

The palera1n jailbreak team announced this past week that the palera1n semi-tethered checkm8 bootrom exploit-based tool would soon come to the Apple TV.

Despite the fact that NitoTV no longer works, the palera1n team will include a file browser called Spartan. Additionally, tweak injection works.

You can learn more about the upcoming palera1n for Apple TV in our full announcement post.

palera1n gets a TUI

The palera1n semi-tethered checkm8-based jailbreak tool for iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16, as well as iPadOS 17, received a tangible user interface (TUI) this past week to offer an improved user experience when compared to the original command line interface (CLI).

The TUI was made by iOS developer HAHALOSAH, the maker of nekoJB, and makes the interface more approachable by the average end user.

You can learn more about palera1n’s new TUI in our full news post.

Redesigned TrollInstallerX utility shown off ahead of release

TrollInstallerX is set to become a powerful new way to install TrollStore directly onto devices without sacrificing a system app, such as Tips.

The app was shown off initially around two weeks ago, but has since underwent a redesign ahead of its release.

You can learn more about TrollInstallerX in our full news post.

TrollStore updates

The TrollStore perma-signing utility for received important updates this past week with bug fixes and improvements.

You can learn about the latest TrollStore updates below:

TrollStore v2.0.14 released

iOS & iPadOS 17.3.1 re-signed

Apple unexpected started signing iOS & iPadOS 17.3.1 again this past week despite originally un-signing the firmware on March 12th. This allows those who have upgraded to iOS or iPadOS 17.4.1 or 17.4 to downgrade.

It’s unknown why Apple started signing this firmware again, but it’s almost certain to be unsigned again shortly.

You can learn more about this ‘signing party’ in our full news post.

Semaphorin

Semaphorin is a new checkm8 bootrom exploit-based blobless downgrade and jailbreak utility for older devices.

Currently, the supported device list is rather limited and there are a ton of prerequisites and caveats, and while this isn’t recommended for the ordinary iPhone user, it’s neat that it exists.

You can learn more about Semaphorin in our full news post.

Crayon Adaptive Icons

Crayon Adaptive Icons is a theme that was very popular on the Android platform with more than 50,000 active users that has been ported to the iPhone.

This theme features more than 1,100 app icons and 35 complementing wallpapers, with regular updates always adding more app icons to the mix. This theme supports both jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices.

You can learn more about the colorful effects of Crayon Adaptive Icons in our full review post.

Jellyfish Reborn

The Jellyfish Reborn jailbreak tweak brings back the popular Jellyfish jailbreak tweak for pwned iOS & iPadOS 16 devices.

The aesthetics provided by Jellyfish Reborn are modeled after the Motion Apple Watch face and are fully customizable.

You can learn more about Jellyfish Reborn in our full review post.

Ring

Ring is a jailbreak tweak that makes it easier to control your iPhone’s dedicated ringtone volume by way of a slider control in the volume module of Control Center.

You will definitely want to take advantage of this tweak if you’ve ever turned down your volume, but your ringtones are always too loud.

You can learn more about Ring in our full review post.

Atlas Lite

I really like the double tap to skip forward and backward in the YouTube app; so much so, perhaps, that I feel a little upset that the stock iOS video player doesn’t include them.

Fortunately, an iOS developer has created the free Atlas Lite jailbreak tweak to incorporate a similar gesture to the stock iOS video player, and that makes me and several others like me very happy.

You can learn more about Atlas Lite and how it works in our full review post.

PhoneEnhancer 15

PhoneEnhancer 15 is a new jailbreak tweak that improves the native Phone app on jailbroken iPhones by giving users highly requested features.

Among those are color-coded call history, specific time stamps, hiding third party app calls, and more.

You can learn more about PhoneEnhancer 15 and what you can do with it in our full review post.

Hide “Unknown Part” Prompt

Example of a replaced part appearing in Settings UI

If you’ve ever replaced an iPhone or iPad part with a third-party component, you’ve probably been shamed by the Settings app for not paying the Apple tax for a first-party component with the “Unknown Part” message.

The replaced jailbreak tweak hides this message.

You can learn more about replaced in our full review post.

MessagesXI

You can add more features to your iPhone or iPad’s native Messages app with the MessagesXI jailbreak tweak.

Not only can you manually mark conversations as read or unread, but you can also add custom colors to the unread indicators, hide that you’re typing, and more.

You can learn more about MessagesXI in our full review post.
