Jake James updates Sock Port and Sock Port 2 exploits with 64-bit iOS 10 support

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 28, 2019

Jailbreakers haven’t even been able to blink their eyes lately without some sort of news regarding exploit or jailbreak tool updates, and as it would seem, there’s no sign that this will be slowing down anytime soon.

While the bulk of this news has dealt with adding support for newer firmware versions by way of updated and more efficient exploits, hacker and rootless JB 3.0 developer Jake James shook things up a bit this morning when he released updated versions of his Sock Port and Sock Port 2 tfp0 exploits with support for 64-bit devices running iOS 10.0-10.3.3:

Sileo v1.2.5 released to address more repository issues

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 27, 2019

Two more consecutive updates were released for Sileo Saturday afternoon, officially bringing the Chimera and Electra-centric package manager up to version 1.2.5. The same update is also available as a Demo for non-jailbroken handsets.

The Sileo Team announced Sileo versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 via Twitter just hours ago, with each update further addressing repository issues that were introduced in a previous update:

Sileo Team releases Sileo v1.2.3 with more repository-centric improvements

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 27, 2019

Just yesterday, the Sileo Team released v1.2.0 of the Sileo Demo for testing on non-jailbroken devices, promising that a jailbreak-centric update to Sileo would soon follow. Now, it appears that update is finally out, and better than before.

The Sileo Team released two consecutive updates for the Sileo package manager Saturday morning, including version 1.2.2 and 1.2.3. The updates were announced via the Sileo Team’s Twitter page:

Sileo Demo updated to v1.2.0 with rewritten repository manager

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 26, 2019

Sileo is the exclusive package manager for handsets that have been pwned with the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra jailbreaks, but non-jailbroken devices can deploy a special build of Sileo for testing and repository-browsing purposes.

On Friday, the Sileo Team issued a revised iteration of the Sileo Demo for non-jailbroken devices, bringing it up to version 1.2.0:

Chimera v1.2.7 and ChimeraTV v1.2.6 released with improved exploit support

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 26, 2019

The Electra Team on Friday released updated iterations of the iOS-Centric Chimera jailbreak tool and the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak tool, bringing the former up to version 1.2.7 and the latter up to version 1.2.6.

The Electra Team announced the two updates via Twitter early this morning, and from what we can gather, these updates focus primarily on the exploits used by the tools to jailbreak supported handsets:

Like rainbows and hearts? You may also like these Dynamic Wallpapers for jailbroken devices

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 26, 2019

Your iPhone supports three different types of wallpapers, including still images, Live Photos, and Dynamic Wallpapers. The latter is particularly interesting because it's the closest thing to video wallpapers that Apple has ever provided, but iOS’ native selection of Dynamic Wallpapers out of the box leaves a lot to be desired.

It was only a few weeks ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Dynamic Apples by iOS developer JGeorge, which replaced the stock Dynamic Wallpaper with Apple-esque ones, but if that didn’t do it for you, then perhaps a new free release called Dynamic Rainbow Hearts.

Unc0ver versions 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 released to add iOS 12.3 beta 1 support and improve reliability

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 25, 2019

We saw an update for the iOS 12-based Chimera jailbreak tool earlier today, and like clockwork, it seems that Pwn20wnd has released a couple of updates for the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11 and 12 as well.

Pwn20wnd announced the updates just minutes ago via Twitter, and as it would seem, unc0ver v3.4.2 is now the latest release available to the public. Unc0ver v4.3.2 was released just shortly after v4.3.1:

Chimera v1.2.6 brings Sock Puppet 2 support for iOS 12.1-12.2 devices

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 25, 2019

The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool on Thursday, a move that brings the tool up to version 1.2.6.

The Electra Team announced the update just last night via Twitter, noting that it would implement @NedWilliamson’s Sock Puppet 2 exploit for increased exploit reliability on devices running iOS 12.1-12.2:

Pusher streams your iPhone’s push notifications to non-Apple devices

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 25, 2019

If all your devices – mobile and desktop alike – are of the Apple variety, then you’re probably accustomed to receiving push notifications from your apps on every one of your devices. On the other hand, this won’t necessarily be the case if you have, say, an Apple iPhone, an Android tablet, and a Windows computer.

Pusher is a newly-released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Noah Saso that aims to help unify your push notification experience across all your devices, and astonishingly, this still applies even if your devices aren’t all manufactured by Apple.

Love Minecraft? This tweak makes your iPhone’s Settings app look more like the game

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 25, 2019

If you’re a huge Minecraft fanatic, then McSettings is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer kushy that you won’t want to miss.

As you might’ve noticed already from the screenshot example provided above, McSettings themes iOS’ Settings app to look and feel like some of the textured resources that appear in the eccentrically popular Minecraft game by game publisher Mojang.

Customize iOS’ various system text strings with Label

Anthony Bouchard ∙ July 25, 2019

As you use iOS, you’ll come to notice a variety of labels throughout the user interface that display redundant or non-useful information, such as the Status Bar's carrier text, the Lock screen’s ‘Press home to open’ text string, and Notification Center’s ‘No New Notifications’ text.

If you aren’t jailbroken, then you can’t customize any of these labels, but if you are, then you can take advantage of a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called Label by iOS developer archergs to do just that.
