The Electra Team released updated versions of both the iOS-centric Chimera jailbreak tool and the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak tool Wednesday evening, bringing both tools up to version 1.3.4 on the official Chimera download page.
The Electra Team announced these new updates just a few minutes ago via Twitter, denoting some of the changes that came with each new iteration:
Your iPhone displays the phone number of incoming and outgoing calls, apart from certain circumstances in which that number is privatized. But if you’re like me and wish you could see more about a caller than just the phone number at first glance, then you’ll probably come to appreciate a jailbreak tweak called PhoneCaller by iOS developer Osama.
As shown in the screenshot examples above, PhoneCaller works by integrating with the popular TrueCaller app to fetch more detailed caller ID information for both incoming and outgoing phone calls. As you’ll notice, it shows the caller’s first and last name in addition to any relevant photos of that person, where applicable.
The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool late last night, officially bringing it up to version 1.3.3 on the team’s website.
Citing a Tweet shared via the Electra Team’s official Twitter account at the time of release, this update implements support for the new Sock Puppet 3 exploit by @umanghere, which enables support for A7-A8(X) devices on iOS 12.1.3-12.4:
Pwn20wnd has been hard at work over the last several days adding support for iOS 12.4 to the unc0ver jailbreak, and several updates later, it’s now more reliable on iOS 12.4 than it was at the time of the initial release; but one thing was missing since the start: A12(X) support.
Pwn20wnd addressed this concern Monday afternoon by releasing unc0ver v3.5.3, which brings ‘partial’ support for A12(X) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.4. This should sound familiar to most since unc0ver already ‘partially’ supported A12(X) devices on earlier firmware versions.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has updated the iOS 11 and 12-centric unc0ver jailbreak tool again Monday morning, this time bringing it up to version 3.5.2.
Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter just this morning:
The Electra Team released another update for the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool Monday morning, bringing it up to version 1.3.0.
Citing a Tweet shared via the Electra Team’s Twitter account late last night, Chimera v1.3.0 adds support for A8 devices running iOS 12.4:
Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver jailbreak tool to version 3.5.1 Monday morning with a plethora of improvements, including but not limited to faster and more reliable jailbreaking on supported devices running iOS 12.4.
The hacker announced the latest update within the past hour via Twitter, crediting @umanghere for a revised Sock Puppet exploit that purportedly made all of this possible:
The Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak tool officially picked up support for iOS 12.4 within just the last couple of hours, but the team continues to work hard to refine the tool for optimal performance and stability. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the iOS 12-centric jailbreak tool just received another update.
Chimera v1.2.9 was announced via the Electra Team’s official Twitter page just minutes ago:
The Electra Team released Chimera v1.2.8 to the general public Sunday evening with support for iOS 12.4 on A9-A11 devices with iOS 12.4 installed, a move that closely mirrors one made by Pwn20wnd with the unc0ver jailbreak tool Sunday morning.
The Electra Team announced the update just minutes ago via Twitter:
In an unforeseen turn of events, hacker Pwn20wnd released v3.5.0 of the unc0ver jailbreak tool to the general public Sunday morning with official support for iOS 12.4, the latest available firmware release from Apple with support for Apple Card.
Update: iOS 12.4.1 is now available as of Monday, August 26th, and this update patches the exploit for iOS 12.4
Pwn20wnd announced the update just a few minutes ago via Twitter:
If you’re jailbroken and you’re looking for new ways to trick out your pwned handset, then you’ve come to the right place.
This roundup will discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 12th to Sunday, August 18th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with the rest afterward.
The App Switcher experience isn’t all bad on the iOS platform, but if you’re anything like me, then you can appreciate tiny modifications that help bring an interface to life with a modern look and feel.
If you’re in the same boat, then you will probably enjoy using a new and free jailbreak tweak called ModernSwitcher by iOS developer MTAC, as it makes a few minor visual improvements to the current App Switcher interface to make it look nicer overall.
