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:
Moments after we published a story about the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release receiving its eleventh revision, hacker Pwn20wnd publicly released unc0ver v.2.1.0, officially bringing it out of its “pre-release” stages.
This is arguably one of the most significant updates to the unc0ver jailbreak tool to date, and Pwn20wnd made the official announcement via Twitter just minutes ago as of this writing:
It was just two weeks ago that Saurik (Jay Freeman) released an official update for Cydia Substrate with full support for the unc0ver jailbreak on iOS 11, but as you might have noticed, there’ve been some issues surrounding the release.
Cydia Substrate has received several updates since the initial release, primarily to fix ‘freezing’ and ‘respring looping’ issues that some users experienced after updating, but older handsets like the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 continued to exhibit unexplained instability.

Hot off the heels of three Cydia Substrate updates released by Saurik throughout the night, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release received two new revisions on Monday. These are the tenth and eleventh revisions to this particular pre-release version since Pwn20wnd released it for public testing more than two weeks ago.
Citing the changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the two new unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release revisions encompass the changes outlined below:
Apple designed iOS’ Now Playing interface to display relevant information about the music you listen to at any given time, such as the album artwork, artist name, and song title, but it also provides you with useful music controls in a pinch.
But one place where the Now Playing interface falls short is in summarizing what you can expect next in your music playlist, and that’s where a new jailbreak tweak called NextUp by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson comes into play.
Netflix has removed iTunes billing for all new users after customers in more two dozen countries could bypass the in-app subscription method as part of an experiment.
We all understand the importance of backing up the iPhone contents. Those memorable travel videos, heartwarming family photos, hot songs are the treasures of our life. To achieve the successful iPhone backup, a handy App like MacX MediaTrans is a must have. With this tool, you can easily browse and transfer the music, photos, videos, books, podcasts and other data on your iPhone or iPad, selectively back up them on your Mac computer, optionally encrypt your data and much more.
Just yesterday, hacker Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release with a bevy of bug fixes and stability improvements for public testers; but as it would seem, he wasn’t finished fine-tuning the jailbreak tool just yet.
At least three more revisions to the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release have been published to Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository since we ran our story Saturday afternoon. Citing the changelog, the updates encompass these changes:
It’s been a big week for the jailbreak community. Not only was the Electra jailbreak updated for the first time since the Summer months, but the first public beta of the Sileo package manager was also released, which aims to compete directly with Cydia.
Regardless of whether you prefer Cydia or Sileo for your jailbroken handset, you’re probably wondering how you can make the best of your pwned iOS 11 device. Fortunately, this roundup will discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, December 24th to Sunday, December 30th.
It’s been two weeks since hacker Pwn20wnd launched the initial unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release for public testing, and we’ve seen a bevy of revisions to the pre-release since then. Just this week, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release received two additional updates to fortify the jailbreak tool even further.
Citing the changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the two new unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release revisions encompass the changes outlined below:
The Sileo team has launched its second preview of the brand-new Sileo package manager on Saturday, less than one week after deploying its first.
Citing a Tweet shared by the Sileo team Saturday morning, the second Sileo preview is available via the default Electra repository on the Electra jailbreak, just as the first was:
