Pwn20wnd releases unc0ver v2.2.6, revises unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with fixes & improvements
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v2.2.6 to the masses this week with bootstrap extraction and Cydia installation-related bug fixes and pushed two more revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with a bevy of other bug fixes and enhancements.
The changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s GitHub repository cites the following changes present in the unc0ver v2.2.6 public release:
This tweak lets you change between iOS keyboards with just a swipe
The method of switching between keyboards on the iOS platform has always left a lot to be desired. Tapping on the tiny Emoji/language button at the bottom-left-hand side of the keyboard is nothing short of tedious, especially if you have larger fingers, but it doesn’t need to be.
KeySwipe (iOS 11) is a free jailbreak tweak by iOS developers Delewhopper and Julio Verne that lets you switch between keyboards on demand with a swipe (up or down) on the keyboard interface. As you might come to expect, this also means you don’t need to fiddle with the tiny Emoji/language button on the keyboard anymore.
Attach root filesystem files to any iMessage or SMS on a jailbroken device with MessageFile
Your iPhone’s native Messages app incorporates a button for attaching photos and videos from your Photo Library, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could also attach general filetypes from your jailbroken handset’s filesystem much like you already can on macOS?
If you answered yes to the aforementioned question, then you’ll be ecstatic to learn about a free jailbreak tweak called MessageFile by iOS developer Julio Verne. Just as the name implies, MesseageFile lets you choose and send any file from your iPhone or iPad’s root filesystem over iMessage or SMS directly from the native Messages app.
Apple officially stops signing iOS 12.1.1 and 12.1.2, thwarting firmware downgrades via iTunes
Following an exceptionally-long and unheard-of grace period, Apple has officially stopped signing both iOS 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 Tuesday evening, a move that packs some serious implications for the jailbreak community.
Update: iOS 12.1.1 beta 3 is apparently still being signed at the time of this writing. Downgrade immediately while you have the chance!
Apple first launched these firmware versions on December 5th and December 17th respectively, each to address small bug fixes and performance improvements in the operating system. But as we know, no software is entirely bug-proof.
Pwn20wnd revises the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with bug fixes and code improvements
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd issued two more revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release early Tuesday morning with some important bug fixes and code improvements. At the time of this writing, the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release is now on beta 15.
Citing the changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, beta 14 and beta 15 of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release encompass the following changes:
Electra 1.3.1 released to improve exploit success rate for A7-A8(X) devices on iOS 11.2+
Another update released Tuesday by the Electra Team should make pwning iOS 11 easier with the Electra jailbreak tool. Electra version 1.3.1 introduces some much-needed success rate improvements for A7 to A8(X) devices (4K), expectantly reducing the number of times that you’d need to tap “Jailbreak” in the app to complete the process.
The Electra Team first announced the update early this morning via Twitter, linking to the official download page:
Customize your iPhone’s locking animation with LockAnim
Upon unlocking your iPhone or iPad, an aesthetically-pleasing animation brings all your Home screen's icons into view. On the other hand, pressing the side button to lock your device results in an instantly-black display, as if Apple never intended to incorporate a locking animation into iOS.
If you wish your handset’s locking animation had a bit more spunk than it does out of the box, then you’ll come to appreciate a free jailbreak tweak dubbed LockAnim by iOS developer Julio Verne. Just as the name implies, this tweak brings a bevy of new locking animations to the table, giving you a lot more choice in what you see when you press that side button on your handset.
This jailbreak tweak prevents incoming notifications from waking the display
Apple designed iOS to wake your locked handset’s display in the wake of incoming notifications, and while this helps to grab your attention, it also tends to grab the attention of others. You can easily prevent this by turning notifications off, but then you run the risk of missing important notifications altogether.
Love it or hate it, Apple’s notification-oriented display-waking feature is probably here to stay; but with a free jailbreak tweak called IllLookLater (iOS 11) by iOS developers N104 and Julio Verne, you can better control what wakes your display and what doesn’t.
iOS 12-centric ‘rootlessJB 3.0’ picks up support for tweak injection
It was only a couple of days ago that a talented hacker by the name of Jake James released rootlessJB 3.0, a developer-centric, SSH-based jailbreak that developers could deploy on A9-A11 devices running iOS 12.0-12.1.2; but it didn’t support jailbreak tweaks at the time. Fast-forward to now and this seemingly-limited jailbreak has come a long way.
Jake James took to Twitter Monday evening to announce that rootlessJB 3.0 now supports tweak injection – a means of customizing iOS outside of Apple’s stock parameters:
Say hello to the new giraffe, shark, owl and boar Animoji in iOS 12.2
Apple introduced some new Animoji characters in iOS 12.2, with a giraffe, a shark, an owl and a warthog all available in today's second developer beta of iOS 12.2.
Pwn20wnd revises the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release again with exploit-related fixes
Hot off the heels of adding rootlessJB 3.0-like partial support for iOS 12.0-12.1.2 into the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release, hacker and unc0ver lead developer has announced yet another revision to the tool Monday evening.
Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter, denoting how the revision brings exploit-related fixes to the mix:
