Shortly after the Sileo Team launched Sileo v2.3 on Friday with bug fixes and to replace the Packix repository with the Havoc repository as a default, the Odyssey Team published an updated version of the iOS & iPadOS 14-centric Taurine jailbreak.
Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar published a comment in the Sileo / Taurine / Odyssey Discord channel Friday evening with some potentially exciting news for jailbreakers.
Many Taurine jailbreak users are content with how their iPhones and iPads turn out post-jailbreak. But if for any reason you decide to revert to a vanilla version of iOS or iPadOS 14 or perhaps even develop the urge to try a different jailbreak tool instead, it’s important to remember that you can use the Taurine jailbreak’s rootFS restore feature to roll your handset back to a pre-jailbroken state.
Just yesterday, security researcher Linus Henze released his much anticipated Fugu14 untether for iOS & iPadOS 14.5.1 and below. Just minutes later, Pwn20wnd published unc0ver v7.0.0 with preliminary support for the untether, assuming users wanted to install it manually.
Just a couple of days ago, the Odyssey Team shared that it was already investing in test devices for iOS & iPadOS 15 jailbreak development. The announcement was accompanied by a photograph of an iPod touch that had been custom engraved with the words “Odyssey Team” on the back.
More recently, Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar took to the Sileo / Taurine / Odyssey Discord channel to share that libhooker — the tweak injection method utilized by the Chimera, Odyssey, and Taurine jailbreaks for iOS 12, 13, and 14 respectively — was mostly working on iOS 15 beta 8.
Anyone that uses the Taurine jailbreak on their iOS or iPadOS 14.0-14.3 device might be intrigued to know that a newer version of the tool is now available.
If you happen to enjoy jailbreaking and have a deep appreciation for open-source software, then we’ve got some amazing news for you!
The Odyssey Team is out with yet another update for its iOS & iPadOS 14-centric Taurine jailbreak Wednesday morning after only just recently launching version 1.0.7 with boot loop mitigations and startup repairs to combat consequential data loss and forced software updates.
The latest update, dubbed Taurine version 1.1.0, was released to address known bugs and incorporate stability improvements.
Taurine users who take advantage of the Jailbreak Updater package to keep their iOS or iPadOS 14 jailbreak up to date on the fly will likely want to open the Sileo package manager and refresh their sources this morning.
The Odyssey Team officially released an updated version of the iOS & iPadOS 14-centric Taurine jailbreak tool on Thursday in the form of version 1.0.7 to address a serious issue that could result in boot looping, and consequently, data loss and/or forced software updates.
If your jailbreak depends on libhooker for its primary method of tweak injection (I’m looking at you Odyssey and Taurine users), then you should find a new update is available upon launching Sileo and refreshing your sources.
Taurine jailbreak users may want to backtrack their jailbreak from version 1.0.5 or 1.0.6 to version 1.0.4 pending an announcement shared early Wednesday morning by Odyssey Team member @23Aaron_.
In the announcement, which was echoed on in several different places including the Sileo / Taurine / Odyssey Discord channel, the @OsysseyTeam_ Twitter page, and even on /r/jailbreak, we learn that these versions of Taurine (1.0.5 and 1.0.6) exacerbate an issue in stock iOS that can result in data loss and forced iOS updates.
