Check out the latest news and tutorials about checkm8, a hardware-based bootrom exploit for A7-A11 iPhones and iPads that can’t be patched by Apple, making it a popular choice for jailbreak tools.
Palera1n, the developer-focused checkm8 bootrom exploit-based iOS & iPadOS 15.x jailbreak that has been making rounds in the community as of late, was updated to version 1.1.1 late Saturday night.
If you’ve been following along with us this week, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the new developer-centric palera1n jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7 which is based on the same checkm8 bootrom exploit that made the checkra1n jailbreak famous.
Just yesterday, iDB showed you palera1n, a checkm8 bootrom exploit-based ‘developer only’ jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7 with tweak injection on select devices running iOS 15.0-15.3.1. Today, the incorporated support for tweak injection has been expanded to more devices.
Many prospective jailbreakers have kept their devices at iOS or iPadOS 15.x despite having the option upgrade to the newer and more enticing iOS 16 software update. The wait is testing a lot of holdouts’ patience, but with so many people working on some form of iOS or iPadOS 15.x jailbreak, something’s bound to materialize one way or another.
The wait continues for a user-friendly iOS & iPadOS 15 jailbreak designed for the general public, but the many projects currently under development raise hope for something to materialize in the future. Of course, when we say “user-friendly,” we mean things that aren’t intended only for developers…
A newly released utility called Pogo by iOS developer elihwyma is sure to turn a few heads this weekend, but what exactly is it, and should you rush into the line to install it?
At the end of July, we talked about a new iOS 9 jailbreak for legacy devices called Blizzard by GeoSn0w, and while the developer’s primary focus at the time wasn’t on iOS & iPadOS 15, that now seems to be changing.
The wait continues for an iOS & iPadOS 15 jailbreak, but fortunately, Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar took to Twitter late last night with a particularly thought-provoking Tweet that may raise hope levels for those waiting.
Released just over two years ago, the checkra1n jailbreak has proven to be particularly resilient because of the hardware-based checkm8 bootrom exploit that powers it. The checkm8 exploit targets A7-A11 devices (up to and including the iPhone X), and due to being hardware-based, Apple can’t patch it for those devices already in circulation.
A fuzzy image circulating on jailbreak-oriented subreddits these past couple of weeks has received a lot of attention in the jailbreak community as of late, as it appears to depict iOS hacker and checkra1n team member @siguza commenting in a Discord channel about iOS & iPadOS 15 and the state of the checkra1n jailbreak.
Thanks to the checkm8 bootrom exploit that powers it, the checkra1n jailbreak has earned a reputation for its resilience. No mere software update can patch this exploit, and so susceptible devices (those equipped with A7-A11 chips) should effectively be jailbreakable for life...
It’s been a hot minute since the checkra1n jailbreak tool received its last update, and given how much has changed since then, it was only a matter of time before it would receive one.
The latest update comes to us this Thursday afternoon in the form of checkra1n version 0.12.3 with official support for up to iOS & iPadOS 14.5 and preliminary support for Apple’s latest M1-equipped Macs along with various bug fixes.
