Pwn20wnd updates unc0ver v3.0.0 to beta 45 to address exploit issue on A12(X) devices

Shortly after releasing an update for the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with ‘partial’ support for A12 and A12X devices, Pwn20wnd dropped yet another revision, bringing the tool up to beta number 45 for public testing.

In a Tweet shared just this afternoon, Pwn20wnd reveals that the somewhat minor update addresses an issue involving the voucher_swap exploit by Brandon Azad on certain beta-centric firmware versions on A12(X) devices:

Unc0ver v3.0.0 beta 44 released with ‘partial’ A12(X) support

Shortly after announcing that he had managed a root filesystem remount on A12 and A12X devices with read and write privileges, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has released another revision for the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release, bringing the public beta jailbreak tool up to beta version 44.

Citing Pwn20wnd’s announcement on Twitter, unc0ver v3.0.0 beta 44 brings ‘partial’ support for A12 and A12X devices:

Pwn20wnd achieves rootfs remount with read/write privileges on A12(X)

Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd hasn’t made any significant revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release for a few days now, and as you might come to expect, that’s because he’s been busy attempting to pwn A12(X) devices.

If you fall under the category of ‘currently waiting for A12(X) support,’ then you’ll be excited to hear that Pwn20wnd has made some progress. A Tweet shared Monday afternoon reveals that the hacker has officially achieved a rootfs remount with read and write privileges on his A12 test device:

Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd released another revision to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release on Thursday with bug fixes and improvements, bringing the pre-release jailbreak tool up to beta version 43.

Pwn20wnd shared the news of the update via Twitter early this morning, noting that it would fix the sandbox error that many people were receiving on certain devices:

As promised, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has released the 40th beta of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release for public testing Monday afternoon with support for all pre-A12(X) devices running iOS 12.0-12.1.2.

Pwn20wnd announced the revision via Twitter just a few minutes ago, adding that it bundles Cydia and an updated version of Cydia Substrate for all supported devices:

Pwn20wnd says full iOS 12 support for 4K devices is coming soon

Good news for those of you waiting for an iOS 12 jailbreak on any 4K devices – hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd announced Monday morning that an update would be coming to the unc0ver jailbreak tool very soon.

In a Tweet shared by Pwn20wnd just this morning, we learn that Saurik has updated Cydia Substrate to resolve a bug that prevented full 4K device support initially, and we can also gather that unc0ver co-developer Sam Bingner has pushed important updates to many of the jailbreak’s dependencies that will make full 4K support possible:

Unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release revised to beta 38 with improvements to v1ntex exploit, bug fixes

Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release again on Thursday with a slew of bug fixes and improvements. The latest version of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release is now beta version 38.

Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter Thursday morning, noting that it would implement fixes to the v1ntex exploit, among other things:

Libellus replaces Cydia’s homepage with a tab dedicated to jailbreak-centric news

The Cydia app’s homepage might be a familiar sight for most jailbreakers, but many would agree that it’s largely outdated. Furthermore, most of the time you spend in Cydia takes place in other tabs, such as Sources, Changes, Installed, and Search.

iOS developer KushyDaBush wanted to make the Cydia homepage useful again, and so a new free jailbreak tweak called Libellus was conceived. As demonstrated in the screenshot examples above, Libellus replaces the stock Cydia homepage with an overview of jailbreak-centric news.

Pwn20wnd revises iOS 12-compatible unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with bug fixes and improvements

Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release to beta 29 on Friday with official support for iOS 12.0-12.1.1 on A8X-A11 devices, but as you might come to expect, this momentous initial release is being closely trailed by a multitude of bug fix updates to warrant tool stability for the end user.

Two of those updates came as revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release on Saturday. Citing a couple of Tweets shared by Pwn20wnd, beta 30 and beta 31 each tie up some of the initial tool’s loose ends and incorporate an important “safety improvement:”
