After dropping the first unc0ver v2.1.1 pre-release earlier this week for public testing, hacker and lead developer Pwn20wnd issued a revised version of the unc0ver v2.1.1 pre-release Tuesday evening with more bug fixes and improvements.
Citing Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub page, this is now the third revision to the unc0ver v.2.1.1 pre-release since its conception. The latest update encompasses these changes:
More than three weeks after releasing the second beta of iOS 12.1.3, Apple on Monday seeded its registered developers and members of the Apple Developer Program third betas of the upcoming iOS 12.1.3, watchOS 5.1.3 and tvOS 12.1.2 software updates.
Apple first released iOS 12 in mid-September, and it’s seen a host of revisions over the last four months. Despite the continuous fortification of Apple’s mobile operating system, there’s been no shortage of bug and exploit reports encompassing iOS 12.
One of the latest announcements comes by way of security researcher @S0rryMybad, who appears to have happened upon a powerful exploit impacting iOS 12.1.2 and below on pre-A12 devices. But perhaps more importantly, the exploit can allegedly provide tfp0 on Apple’s latest mobile operating system:
It was only a week ago that hacker Pwn20wnd launched unc0ver v2.1.0 to the public in one of the most substantial updates ever made to the modern jailbreak tool. But as it would seem, the hacker fancied taking things a step further.
Over the weekend, Pwn20wnd dropped the unc0ver v2.1.1 pre-release for public testing with a bevy of bug fixes and improvements. Citing Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub page, the new pre-release is comprised of the following changes:
Whether you’re rocking the Electra jailbreak by the Electra Team or the unc0ver jailbreak by Pwn20wnd, chances are you’re looking for new ways to trick out your jailbroken iOS 11 device. Fortunately, this jailbreak tweak roundup can help you with that by summarizing everything new from this week.
This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, December 31st to Sunday, January 6th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then round up the rest afterward.
Are you finding it impossible to restore your iPad from an iCloud backup?
While most jailbreak tweaks are made in response to some sort of problem or inconvenience in iOS, some exist purely for good fun and entertainment. A new free release dubbed Waves by iOS developer Muirey03 is a beautiful example of the latter.
As you might have inferred already from the name and the screenshot example above, Waves brings a fluid-inspired animation to your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen. The fluid depicted in the screenshot is sensitive to motion, which means tilting your device causes the fluid to move just as the laws of physics in the real world would command.
If you’ve ever used a semi-tethered jailbreak before, then you should be familiar with Cydia Impactor. Saurik (Jay Freeman) created this multi-platform application to let you side-load apps on your iPhone or iPad, especially of the jailbreak flavor, such as Electra and unc0ver.
Recently, a web-based alternative to Cydia Impactor called AppSigner received some public attention on /r/jailbreak, and as you might come to expect, prominent members of the jailbreak community are speaking up to explain why you should not use it.
Apple's iOS 12 software now powers three-quarters of all devices.
While most of us are celebrating New Year’s Day the old-fashioned way, others are taking full advantage of the holiday to propagate nefarious activities. As it would seem, a fake iOS 12 jailbreak is being tossed around in the wild.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd hopped on Twitter early Tuesday morning to dismiss any confusion concerning the new of the fake iOS 12 jailbreak:
You can hide images from the Camera Roll in iOS’ native Photos app to prevent them from appearing in your image list, but hidden images are quickly discovered by prying eyes when someone holding your iPhone opens the “Hidden” album in the Photos app.
If you wish Apple took better care of your Hidden images, then you might enjoy a new free jailbreak tweak called HiddenAlbumLock by iOS developer smokin1337. Just as the name implies, this tweak locks the Hidden album and requires authentication to unlock it for viewing.
New Year’s Eve was a busy day for hacker and unc0ver lead-developer Pwn20wnd. Shortly after dropping the official public release of unc0ver v2.1.0, Pwn20wnd issued a quick revision for the jailbreak tool comprised of bug fixes.
Pwn20wnd announced the revision Monday evening via Twitter, noting that the contained fixes targeted “weird issues” being experienced by some users:
