Pwn20wnd says unc0ver could support iOS 13.0-13.3 on A12(X)-A13 devices
There's been no shortage of news updates and teasers from team unc0ver as Pwn20wnd works ever-so-carefully to integrate Brandon Azad’s oob_timestamp tfp0 exploit into the jailbreak tool. But while some of his Tweets have been more optimistic than others, one of those shared this Sunday afternoon is particularly exciting for those waiting for support on A12(X)-A13 devices.
Initially, Pwn20wnd had planned to support all versions of iOS 13.0-13.3 for all affected devices, but that tone changed on Saturday when the unc0ver lead developer noted that this wouldn’t be practical given all the work that it would necessitate and the fact that checkra1n already supports the bulk of those devices. Fortunately, those sporting A12(X)-A13 devices may still be able to look forward to such support:
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: AutoScroll, Carbonite, Fisting, and more…
It's a great time to be a jailbreaker, especially since there's the checkra1n jailbreak can't be patched and there are several other exploits looming in the wild for newer devices.
In this piece, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, January 27th to Sunday February 2nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Pwn20wnd touts notable progress on iOS 13.3 support in unc0ver jailbreak
If you’re avidly following the latest developments in the jailbreak community as of late, then you might be excited to learn that hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has made swift and substantial progress on implementing Brandon Azad’s newly-released oob_timestamp tfp0 exploit for iOS 13.3 into the unc0ver jailbreak.
Throughout the past hour, Pwn20wnd has shared a plethora of status updates regarding his progress. Perhaps one of Pwn20wnd’s most notable Tweets was that he had successfully bypassed the mitigations in place by Apple to trump his codesigning bypass, which is claimed to be “the biggest part of the jailbreak on A12(X),” and apparently, on A13 too:
Brandon Azad officially releases OOB Timestamp exploit for iOS 13.0-13.3
Several days ago, hacker and iOS security researcher Brandon Azad took the jailbreak community by storm when he said he would soon be releasing a new kernel exploit proof-of-concept targeting the iPhone 11 on iOS 13.3. It didn’t take long after that for unc0ver jailbreak lead developer Pwn20wnd to add that unc0ver would likely receive an update incorporating the new exploit.
The teasers have awakened a brand-new audience in the jailbreak community, namely those handling Apple’s latest handsets like the iPhone 11 and variants of the iPhone 11 Pro. But all that hype aside, Azad officially released his new kernel exploit proof of concept Friday afternoon, and he’s calling it OOB Timestamp:

If you’ve been following the jailbreak community as of late, then you’ve undoubtedly caught wind of Pwn20wnd’s plethora of recent announcements regarding the potential synergy between the unc0ver jailbreak tool and Brandon Azad’s yet-to-be-released tfp0 exploit.
Azad’s exploit was initially revealed to work on the iPhone 11 running iOS 13.3, and according to Pwn20wnd, it should also be viable on A12(X) devices and with all firmware versions between iOS 13.0-13.3. At the same time, Pwn20wnd cited three notable hurdles that would need to be dealt with if tweak injection was to work in the PAC-less implementation on iOS 13 via unc0ver.
Last chance to downgrade to iOS 13.3 on A12/A13 for potential jailbreak eligibility
The news that hacker and iOS security researcher Brandon Azad would be releasing a tfp0 exploit POC for the iPhone 11 on iOS 13.3 took the jailbreak community by storm, and it didn’t take long before unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd responded with plans to update unc0ver when it gets released.
Many questions have been circulating about whether this exploit would work on older devices or whether it would support older versions of iOS. Fortunately, Pwn20wnd has taken to Twitter to answer many of these questions and to prepare the jailbreak community for great things to come.

Checkra1n team launches PongoKit for checkm8-vulnerable iOS devices
The checkra1n team is best known for their checkm8 bootrom exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak tool, which just yesterday picked up support for Linux after being macOS-only for several months. We’ve known for quite some time that the checkra1n team intended to delve into more than just jailbreaking with the checkm8 bootrom exploit, and the fruits of such research are finally starting to surface.
The checkra1n team took to Twitter early Thursday morning to announce the initial release of PongoKit, a highly experimental and developer-only SDK that should help permit the deployment of other platforms on checkm8 vulnerable iOS devices:
